A sketch of a young man with arms crossed looking off to the side, as if noticing something in the distance. He has long white hair that's tied loosely into a ponytail at the top. He wears a loose tabard and has long black arm sleeves and high thigh boots. His upper body is humanoid and his legs end in digitigrade paws. His 3 tails curve pensively as the greenish blue ghost flame trails from his pipe. #kemonimimi

"Ghost Flame"

Haven't drawn Akiyo's human form in a while! The smoke trailing from his pipe is from a rare blend of herbs that, when burned with ghost fire, has a calming effect on nearby spirits.

A flock of winged felines fly over snow topped mountains, the setting sun casting the background in a soft orange glow. The skyrenders in the background are unaspected and their fur coloration looks similar to a tiger's  (one of them holds a highland sheep in its jaws). The leading skyrender is arcane aspected, its fur a mixture of unnatural purples and blue, its stripes ending in strange swirls. It has curling arcane crystal horns jutting from its forehead, spikes protruding from its face and arms, and long crystal claws. Chitinous growths coat its paws and tail.

"Arcane Skyrender"

Skyrenders are a species of winged dragon-like cats. Sensitive to the environment, their forms change to reflect the strongest aspect of magic around them. Their favorite prey includes highland sheep and most dangerously, mages!

A white werewolf crouches in the snow and looks warily off to the side, cradling a floating blue crystal in one hand. The background is a somber forest in winter, trees with bare branches and with snow on their trunks as snow whips past.

A surreal painting of a white and black lion running across a misty plane. They mirror each other's pose. The white lion has a golden glowing mane and tail. The black lion has a long flowing silver mane and tail. Light trails follow their front paws. The background is also split between night and day.

An elf paladin with gold hair and metallic gold cracks across his face reverently holds up a coin to the sky. He is dressed in leather armor and chainmail, a black and gold balancing scale on the front of his tabard. A sword with a scale-like hilt and coin decoration is strapped to his back. Strewn about him in the grass background are a group of defeated bandits. He looks upwards towards where a divine light gently shines down on him, offering a bitten golden coin to his deity.

A mysterious black rabbit in a long coat with metallic trim sits on an old tree stump, playing a flute that emits a ghostly trail. He has a large collar of white fur, and limbs that seem half metal and doll-like. He sits in a misty, spooky forest, a light in the distance framing his form. There are spectral rats that heed the flute's call throughout the painting.

A lithe, serpentine dragon taur perches with his two front legs on one of the branches protruding from the massive tree in the background. One of his back legs dangles in the air as he holds onto a hanging branch with the other talon, his long tail looped loosely around it as well. The humanoid half of his body is a light teal compared to the rest of his dark blue body. He looks up at a hanging crystal egg, gently holding out his hands as if about to touch it.

btw for anyone who feels anxious/bad about commissioning the same characters, i want to remind you that it's the best thing for us artists. with each next piece, we will get undeniably better at drawing them. getting familiar with your oc is literally a win-win for both of us. lol

A stag charges down a fog covered path, the flame between his antlers illuminating the foliage around him. The stag has a wary expression, his ears perked forward.

Illustration of Rey Dau from Monster Hunter with a really nicely drawn foot. Also not that it matters but I counted all the tail and back spikes to make sure it matched up to the actual guy.

Illustration of Rathalos from Monster Hunter with extra care paid to the subsurface scattering on the wing patagium. Rathalos is my favorite creature design so he gets special big boy treatment.

Illustration of Zinogre from Monster Hunter in fully charged state. When I first saw Zinogre 15 years ago I was not really into him. However seeing him go super saiyan and start breakdancing in game turned me around pretty quick.

Lei Ran, an anthropomorphic blonde wolf warrior, stands on the incline of a vast highland. She's dressed in blue leather armor with a trailing fur lined sash and wears a carved wolf mask. Looking out into the distance, she holds a guandao at her side. A flock of sheep and yurts dot the far background.

A steel blue, black, and cream colored fox happily looks up at the viewer, an orange rabbit nestled on his back. He might have been frolicking in the grass and autumn leaves moments before.

A muscular gray and white werewolf, Rev, crouches near a stream in a forest, looking down in wonder at his reflection. He feels his mane with a glowing paw, the other holding onto a scarf on the verge of being blown away. 3 spell scrolls whip around him, their runes still glowing - one of them depicts a simply drawn wolf with a d20 rune underneath. Faint blue magic trails off of Rev's body and from the scrolls.

A character sheet that depicts the werecat and "normal" forms of elf Lanrendil. On the left is the muscular brown and dusty purple werecat form, who brushes back his hair with one giant paw and licks his fangs as he leers at the viewer. He sports a pair of gray horns that curve slightly over his head. His hair is long and partly pulled back into a loose ponytail, the same color as his bright red tail, the tips slightly glowing.

On the right is Lan's elf form as he would normally appear. His hair is slightly reddish brown and tied in a short ponytail. He dresses simply, a gray shirt with leather pants and boots, and a harness with shoulder guards. A pink sash about his waist is the only decorative thing he wears. He also smirks at the viewer, his arms crossed confidently.
