Auraknight

Well, now, you see, you've got me wondering if I should take the jump- But I worry about my dragon's design being too much of a pain for you to enjoy drawing.

((Also, after a brief glance, your comms are closed, so I suppose that solves that conflict.))

And thus ends another year's celebration. As much as it's the best in the year for me, at least it has a lot to remember it by.

What the heck? I need more of this in my life.

Perfect timing. I needed something to spend the time until Rain World's Watcher DLC tomorrow!

Starsector 0.98a is out! Fight new enemies, acquire new ships and weapons, and much more, featuring new story missions, autosave, a revamped combat simulator and Codex, and other UI improvements!

Please repost!

Oh damn, I saw this and glazed over it at first, because I don't generally care a ton for the TCG, and I see a lot of people posting official cards they pull...

And then, when it scrolled past the third time, I realized it's not a real card!

Credit to you. I thought this was a fullart!

Having a grand time with friends, setting up characters for the game from @viceandviolence.bsky.social
I, however, suffered some horrible dice rolls!

There's perks tp starting with -6 smarts

One fuckup removal, and I'll be almost as good at casting as anyone else! 3-6 is one, and 1 is OK by me!

And that's it for the daily post- Everything else I've got, it's not mine to share.

Maybe you'll see someone of mine out in the wilds- I'm always open for a shoutout. Until the next time i think of a use for this platform:

Have a great day, everyone.

Running out of things to post on this streak.

This here's a group photo of a bunch of friends. Four yinglets, and the poor human who needs to put up with us.
On the left is Eggbread- I haven't seen them on Social media, but they did great art.
Then Jrokko, Dessi, and Me on the right!
'M.' bottom.

This is The Acquisitioner- AKA Aquisite/Aqui
A slugcat of the extra slippery/slimey variety, adoring coffee, hoarding and using tools, and getting people what they need to face the day.

Artist found at:

character concept: Me!

A black machine with pink highlights and a cyan holographic collar. The sheen of the machine plating is semi-transparent, in the style of a Xenomorph, highlighted by the neon pink internals.

This is San Kun, Ninety-first of her name, the real title is a bit more complex and arbitrary than that. As a full-body-prosthesis, little remains of the Avali she once was.

Artist is the wonderful @nelloshep.bsky.social , who brought to life the imagery in a way I'd only dreamed of.

A black ferret-like dragon with bright cyan highlights from the body glow leaking out from under the elevated, mushroom-like scales.

This lovely piece is fresh and completed just yesterday by the amazing www.artstation.com/emanuelpanta... .
It took a great deal of work, and I don't think this would have turned out as good as it has without his care and effort!

The dragon's name is Mycelia, and it is a concept entirely my own!

A death's head moth, with Egyptian themes.

This is Anki! She's a death's head moth, and an EoD engineer. Commed from the wonderful @nelloshep.bsky.social , who is always a joy to hire.

One more of Gelly. Shoutouts to Scavstation! I miss y'all.

Meet Gelly. My Yinglet OC! She wears a big coat, and her boots too big for her got-damn feet. The gloves, too- but she makes it work. Avid botanist, she loves the sound of listening to rapidly growing plants, Especially when people are trying to look for her!

See out-of-placers for yinglet origin.

There was a time I was thinking of making up a special set of armour for my Lucario.

I do like how this draft came out, but in the end, I just like the classics too much

Vector art of a Lucario and an Aggron, standing side by side. The former is faced away from the camera, looking over their shoulder- the latter is looking down towards the Lucario

This one was made by, 'redscarfguy' on tumblr, years ago. We got along well, but I stopped talking with them due to ideological differences.

If you happen to see this- as much as I hope you've changed, I wish I'd been gentler with how I departed.

This image is representative of me and my BFF!

A lucario in a breastplate, holding a large two handed sword. His spikes are broken, and the equipment he wears is adorned with similar spikes.

This one was a gift, comm'd blind by someone else- but despite the artistic liberties, I adore it all the same. All art you get of something of your own creation is special in it's own way- but a gift of it just has that much more.

A lucario, hand drawn on white paper. It is looking to the left of the image questioningly. It is missing it's spikes in a manner consistent with my OC.

Another day, another image. This one was made by a close friend for me- thought we've since fallen out of contact. It's still one that brings joy to me when I see it. There's something about the expression that really catches me!

A hand-drawn picture of a Lucario, in medieval-ish armour. The label 'The Knight of Aura' is written along the head.

Feeling like sharing the art I've gotten over the years. Gonna do a slow burn release.

I'll provide accreditation where I can- but some of these people I've lost track of over the last twenty years of being Auraknight

To start us off: An old piece, from someone on tumblr!
This was the first gift.

How about that.

I suppose a first post is warranted. I'm not a big 'Social media' person- but if you're seeing this, I hope your day gets a little bit better.
