The artwork shows a ceremony on a patio. There's a round pool in the center of the image and a round arch in the background. Sisters of the convent are placed in different locations performing different parts of the ritual. Half of them wear a peacock mask and half of them wear sun-like headpieces. There's a woman in the center on the horse. She wears a blue dress decorated with mosaic-like patterns. The horse is covered with blue patterns and stands still above the water. Two twins are sitting on the floor surrounded by large lilies. Behind them one sister plays a harp and another one is holding two bowls with mysterious light. There's a big mosaic tree in the background with other sisters dancing around it. There are two other sisters on top of the wall waving scarves. The artwork is mostly blue and light green

The artwork shows a wedding party. The room is decorated with tiles and patterns and has a long table in the center where the attendees of the party are seated. There are dancers in the foreground, some broken plates, bowls, bottles, apples and eggs on the floor. There is a donkey standing in the center of the room. The donkey was gifted to the wedded. There are musicians behind the dancers. One is playing a domra and another one is playing an accordion. There are dishes and bottles on the table. A child is holding a flower while eating an apple on the left side of the image. A man is giving a toast. A woman next to him is looking at the man while holding a rooster. The bride is wearing a white dress with her face covered with veil. She is holding flowers. The broom is standing next to her with a sword in one hand. Another woman is looking at a man who seems to be a little tipsy. Half of the characters are skeletons and half are humans. The artwork is mostly red, green and blue.

The image shows a scene inside an old house with two repeating characters and their story. The house is decorated with wooden patterns and has three floors with stairs leading to each floor. In the foreground the couple is hugging each other; in the middle ground the man is sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and the woman is walking up the stairs looking at the room below. On the second room the woman is facing the direction of her partner's study. She looks frozen and is standing next to a dresser with a clock on it. On the left side the man is sitting at his desk looking behind his shoulder. On the third floor the same woman is looking in the mirror and sees her reflection as a skeleton. The artwork is decorated with patterns and tiles and is mostly mustard, brown and green.

The artwork shows a boat with travelers passing through a town. There are three people on the boat. They wear large brown hats and long robes. There are some pagodas and buildings in the background behind green mountains. There are some hills with plants and large orchids. There's a green and white heron on the left side of the image and some ducks in the water on the right side of the image. The artwork is mostly green and brown with some pops of pink color.

a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons.

a gothic horror au interpretation of jayce and viktor from arcane. a dishevelled jayce stands, holding a bloodstained silver hammer, looking up with watery eyes. there's blood staining his face and splattered on his clothes and armour, with scratches marring his leather coat. his left hand is balled into a fist, rot and blood coating his skin. in the background is a semi-eroded, semi-hollowed out, golden statue of a younger him, illuminated from behind by golden fire. golden claws reach out to this statue. framing this, is a structure made up of pale brick and rotting arches. within the arches flanking jayce on either side, are broken stained glass images of him as piltover's man of progress.

for viktor's illustration: viktor stands, looming, holding a staff which carries an eerie, pale flame in its clawed crown. his mask is partially broken, exposing only his human right eye. he holds a clawed hand up to his chest, where red flesh in the vague shape of a heart is exposed, with five puncture marks in it. behind him is a broken, stone statue of his younger self– his face has sliced off the statue and is slipping down. framing him is a stone structure comprised of three main archways, with vein-like ornamentation and clawed hands reaching out to viktor in reverance. within the thicker pillars of this structure, are small arched frames, depicting viktor's transformation through magic.

Marcille is sewing a large patchwork quilt of Falin, with her thread being depicted as a long, thin, bloody sinew. Varying shades of red are used in the quilt, with some patches portrayed as parts of the Red Dragon. Falin's skeleton is used as the main component of the quilt's pattern work; her face split into two patchwork pieces at either side of her skull as Marcille slowly sews it back together. Beneath her ribs, is a large centre piece depicting a heart, with a silhouette of Falin lying on top of it. Tiny figures of Laois and Falin as a child stand on the quilt, looking at each other.

an illustration of viktor's transformation into the machine herald. looming over the piece, is viktor as a fully augmented machine herald, holding a hexcore powered staff. in the cavity of the machine herald's torso, is viktor as depicted in season 1 of arcane, coming apart to reveal wiring and hexcore tendrils. in his purple, hexcorized hand, is him as a child, holding the toy boat while looking up at his older self. both figures are framed by bright orange flames and grey smoke.

WIP drawing of Varo and Berry - a pale-coral bark sylvari riding on a lilac corvid-like griffon

WIP drawing of Varo and Berry - a pale-coral bark sylvari riding on a lilac corvid-like griffon

Varo has a griffon companion, Berry - she was given to him by the Sunspears when she was a hatchling, as a token of gratitude for Varo's support in the Sunspear uprising in Istan. Vestris, who Varo met in the Highlands, helped him raise her (she was quite a handful when she was young).

Varo's background is 'questionable': he was the only one of his four friends to walk away from the Mordrem unscathed, trained to be Soundless by someone who later fell to the Nightmare, then worked for the Order of Shadows for the years he spent in Elona. he's more careful who he trusts, nowadays 🫠

Varo is very adept at finding patterns in the behaviors of other people, which makes him excellent at crafting 'personas' that fit all kinds of situations. unfortunately, he applies this approach to most social interactions, which often excludes important variables, like feelings πŸ™ƒ

back when he was a sapling, Varo was known as the Local Nuisance at the Grove. his mentor wasn't very good at their job, which meant that Varo spent the first few years of his life making all kinds of mischief. this was around 1320 AE, but Varo doesn't remember the exact year of his Awakening.

magic comes to him very easily, but outside of illusions (which he sources from imagination and memory), Varo's casting relies on his emotions. this is Not Ideal for many reasons; in an effort to control his magic, Varo became Soundless for a while, which ended up making it worse πŸ‘

Varo is a mesmer - officially trained as a Chronomancer, but in practice he's more of an amalgam of all mesmeric practices rolled into one (truly embracing the fact that he's a jack of all trades). he's very skilled with illusions, especially glamour - but is unable to create clones and phantasms.

An illustration stylized to look like a screenshot from a movie.

Two charr keep night watch, standing side-to-side on a cliff overlooking Orr. Arventia, the charr further away from the viewer, is dressed in leather armor with a fur collar. Her fur is a powdery grey, which fades to russet on her tail, limbs, and muzzle. She looks off into the distance, her maw slightly ajar as she speaks, her expression solemn. Vestris stands closer to the viewer, don in an intimidating set of heavy armor. Her helmet is made with jagged plates of metal arranged into a tri-horn shape, with the longest horn extending from the forehead like a sabre. Her fur, barely visible because of her attire, is white with grey tiger stripes, and her mane is messy and braided in places. Vestris looks sidelong at the viewer, her intense orange eye sharp and defiant.

At the bottom of the image, a line of text made to look like subtitles says: "If you can tell me honestly that it’s a good idea for you to be alone tonight, I’ll leave you be."

Was struck by a whim to do a couple quick updated sketches on how I generally imagine hexapodal skeletons whenever drawing dragons. Then I became distracted by summer and gardening and also perfectionism kicked in and they ended up being not so quick...
