Hey there -- Local critter design, sphinx, tabletop rpg, power metal, and pulp fantasy enthusiast. PFP by Callielujah 23, he/him 🏳️⚧️
~45min landscape study -- tryin to get better at environments
Very pleased with what I’ve accomplished this AF … was great fuel to color and render more of my stuff. Now, back to the usual routine …
A revenge of @bargonauts.bsky.social's truly excellent character, Simon, plus his partner, Nioma! (@personman-reborn.bsky.social) They have such unique designs that slapped me with inspiration! I finished this at 1am after a three hour fugue state 😅 #artfight #artfight2026 #teamtragedy
Finished -- Color practice of Simon in Mejan-Ves's northern rainforests, walkin on a log
I can SEE some improvement since the start of the month and I’m positively giddy about it. At long last able to draw my favorite critters without somethin feelin off. We are so back
Very funny to me that I’ve focused so hard on learnin to draw Simon’s dadbod that all humans and sphinxes I sketch got influenced by it — conscientious effort for each AF attack to *not* give them the fat he has
I do want … to find more pals to doodle or talk about OCs togetha with, cuz it’d be great fun to draw Simon (human or sphinx) with more folks’ critters. Just gotta wrestle the social anxiety over it…
Fourth attack is a revenge for @bargonauts.bsky.social of their sphinx, Simon! <333 #tempusobscura_art
Last time I properly drew Sphinx Simon in clothes was for my long and winding worldbuildin rabbit hole on how Hyenthrakuul Sphinxes wear clothes, when they do choose to wear them, which I don’t think ever made it over here — bonus lore friendly dad jeans for him
Sphinx Simon in the same outfit for the sillies -- you can draw whatever you want as an artist...

I appear to be in the most infuriating part of the art improvement cycle: knowing my art looks off, but not knowing why...
Winding down for a bit on AF has made me keenly aware of the fact that if I'm not occupied by commissions, worldbuilding, or studies, the one (1) thing I draw is Favorite Character
Spells for the Dead Remembered -- Simon's gravefellow magics for Hyenthrakuul

Artfight attack of nuffified (on instagram/toyhouse)'s Toor, a wonderfully somber lonesome wanderer. Tried a more painty style than usual for this fine fella... #artfight
