Holy shit lol. No that is not me, I am so sorry about that
Hiya, typically I don't do commissions (i'm not an artist by profession its just a hobby) but there may be something like that coming up soon. I will make an announcement here.
nope! only in the resort. magic is not practised outside of these little pocket dimensions so you kind of have to go and seek it out (or get captured into one). and thank you, I'm not planning on writing much on this one (busy writing other books hehe) but I'll be drawing a lot for it :>
in truth those monsters were former witches who have been defeated in a series of centuries-long petty rivalries and grudge matches, and turned into servants by the owner of the resort. the setting is the 1920s.
It is a pocket dimension in a prohibition setting where gambling is otherwise illegal, and rich clients come to bask in luxury and play poker. The staff of the resort are all monsters, adding a fantastical element to the gambling which helps extract more money from the clients.
Line drawings of Twist. He's crouched in front of a toy mouse on a string, glaring up and thinking "Am I a joke to you" in a thought bubble. Twist lying on his side, despondent. Overlaid is another paler line drawing of him lying on his back.
Twist in a messenger outfit, running with a letter in his mouth and a messenger bag slung around his shoulder. Handwriting in the picture reads "Fatal 'drew on the wrong layer' disaster. 81299 injured 1 dead"
Twist, slightly older, with visible stubble, wearing his uniform and looking back at the viewer while standing on two legs.
Line drawings of Twist standing upright and on all fours wearing his messenger uniform, with paler overlaid sketches of him without the uniform on.
and so on. he's a concierge at a casino resort run by a witch.
Anatomical drawings of Twist, a sphinx-like creature with a hairless lion's body and the head of a round-faced man. His muscles are diagrammed in a layer underneath his normal body outline.
More pencil-style drawings of Twist in various poses. Standing on two legs, wearing uniform clothes that fit him oddly and a little hat. Lying down, morose. Viewed from above. Startled and arching his back like a cat.
Two drawings of Twist in his concierge uniform, which is a vivid fancy costume with a peaked cap and gold piping. He walks upright and on all-fours.
Two simple drawings of Twist stretching like a cat.
Some of the earlier study sketches i made of my cat boy/sphinxish character Twist. he is not actually naked all of the time
Digital painting of a dark forest lit as though by flash photography. In front of a backdrop of trees and dense forest floor foliage studded with flowers, a pale hairless sphinx leaps as if startled, ready to strike with his claws. His face is partially in shadow and partially hollowed out.
Now look what's become of me
Digital art in the style of a trail camera with messed up colours. A pale lion-like creature walks through a snowy forest, its face in shadow aside from a pair of glowing eye reflections.
sighting
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.
my kobold again :) holding a rush light
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.
trust
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.
tumblr died so i guess i'll post 1hr sketchblog-destined art here. my kobold character holly killing knights (b&w one is from last year but i like it lol)
oh no that is absolutely vile.. i remember you talking about it on tumblr (i think) and that's so much worse than i thought i'm so sorry
always such an incredible lack of curiosity about the things other people are trying to communicate it's only Consuming Content at the end of the day eh
and the warmth of the sun, t-shirt weather, spring flowers, and birdsong screams like spring to me :) i wonder who exactly celebrates spring so late!
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.
what's not clicking?
slapping me in the face would be less insulting
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.
Anois teacht an Earraigh / 1st of Feb, 1st day of Spring, let's fucking go
Thank you 🫡🫡🫡 I am actually looking into finding real medievalists to consult on it so fingers crossed
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!!
Ahh that's incredibly sweet, thank you so much :) made my morning
anyways may as well promo my ko-fi, i have some old sketchbooks there, a compilation of all my art from a monster world setting, and also some actual novels you can read (incl free samples). ko-fi.com/searrachdubh
