Drawing of a kobold sitting in a darkened space, cupping a burning rush light between his open hands. His head is bowed and his eyes are closed, though half his face is lost in shadow. The light from the burning rush radiates out over his tunic and around his body. Diamonds of different colours float in the air around him.

Painting of the sea at night. A small hydrofoil boat skims over the surface of the dark sea, overlaid upon the silhouette of a huge white goose in flight. Water splashes up at the bow of the vessel and twists into eddies around the foils. Dark knotwork patterns spiral off the goose's tail and ripple on the water.

Sketchy pencil-style drawing of a kobold launching at an armoured knight's face and stabbing through the eye slit in his helm with a pointy black weapon. The kobold resembles a goblin or monkey more than a lizard.

A drawing of the kobold ripping his weapon out from the shoulder of a faceless knight, liberating a spray of blood. The words "But here we are" are crowded into the side of the image in gothic font and a design of flowers appears spray-painted onto the backdrop behind the scene.

ive had 2 people think i was talking about heated rivalry today on tumblr when i was just posting about a common subject in my art (centaur) but the qrt i just got here from an ofmd fan is one of the worst things that's ever happened to me probably. this is a hostile space for slash fandomites.

Digital painting of a white foal splashing through a stream in a brightly-lit field. Vegetation in the foreground partially shades the scene while the background is dark. An orange square spiral is in the centre of the frame, overlapping the foal's body.

They will come back eventually.. I got so swamped with other projects and this is the one I need to be firing on all cylinders for.. so much research into topics I know nothing about but I'm invested in historical accuracy (as much as possible...). But it will happen I prommy

Schematic of a mechanical leopard rendered in a woodblock print style. There is a profile view showing its armour and flames sprouting from its side, and a cutaway view showing the crew of masked monks working inside chambers in its heart, front, and belly.

Messy drawing of Pantera plunging through flames and stylised borders like a medieval manuscript. It is vomiting out a fleshy, veiny human hand and an explosive blast of flames. Gothic text in the background reads "my heart my soul my limbs my life"

SAINT PANTERA - medieval mech schematics. Pantera is captained by a knight rider who sits in the throne room, while a crew of seven enginesmiths from the same Catholic order keep the furnaces stoked. It's deadly, claustrophobic work.

i hate art style and i hate marketable consistency. i looooooove disappointing my followers (honestly) because it means i'm drawing and posting in a way that is dictated by my wants rather than the wants of others. i love not signing my art.

Digital painting of an exhausted armoured knight kneeling on the floor having just decapitated a dragon-like creature. In the background beyond clouds of smoke is a large helmeted mech shaped like a leopard with glowing eyes and mouth.

The people who have promoted my books and said nice things about them are genuinely some of the most impactful people in my lives.. I get really shy about self-promo lol I love u all who've been so kind. Did u know that somebody out there got a full arm tattoo based on a character in my books. Wow!!

Digital painting showing several plane-like dragons flying through a cloud bank. They are firing projectiles from their horns, leaving trails of smoke in the air, and there are human riders wearing aviation suits seated on their backs. One dragon prepares to fire on another, which breaks through a bank of clouds ahead of it, while a third in the background flies away with a burning hole in its wing.

A character ref sheet of Breakneck, a sky-blue dragon who looks like an F-14 jet. He has a sleek organic shape and is not biomechanical. He has a horn-like structure that forms a closed loop and a straight forward projection. The poses on the sheet show dorsal and ventral views with the text "Variable sweep wing" and "prominent neck scars". There is a 3/4 view of him in flight shooting a bright projectile, showing the rune on the side of his chest in a separate detail shot with the label "Double speed vector rune". A line drawing of him standing up somewhat like an azhdarchid is labelled "Graceless on land". A head portrait is labelled "Bad eyesight" "Radio apparatus" and "Retractile beak, barbed tongue".

just so that people actually understand what this thing looks like lol and because i like how i drew him here :) but since drawing this in 2024 i decided to change how their faces look. mouth is the same but they have permanently-closed eyes now, they use an electromagnetic sensory organ to navigate

but at the end of the day i like the additional inconvenience of non-cooperative tools and i like the challenge. these are dragons from one of my creative projects, a dragonrider novel set on an alien planet (hugely inspired by pern ofc)

this pic (& the previous one i posted) were made with multiplying marker brushes which is an extremely painstaking process compared to just regular brush + paper filter on top, it took two days to do this one and i could have added way more detail

Illustration of a vibrant blue dragon shaped like an F-14 jet flying high above an arid alien planet with a landscape of stone mesas around a red-pink river. Below the blue dragon, there is a second dragon shaped like a Boeing 747, tiny with distance, and some birds in flight. The illustration is rotated relative to the image and in the corners there are aeronautical chart figures and the words GISTI and ERUDA

even vinyl stickers and all the associated packaging that pins etc are shipped in..future landfill waste. the ppl who design them are exercising what they believe is their right to profit off of others' exploitation and will get very angry and stubborn if you say they have no inherent right to do so

i would genuinely like to make some sort of impact or at least raise some awareness on shit like merch waste & exploitation. i want to at least encourage people to think critically and hold merch sellers to task for their practices. if you can't tell me where it's from and who made it i won't buy it
