"Let the class commence!" 💀 More proper photos of my cosplay of Emmrich Volkarin - which we’ve put together mainly because I needed a lighter version for tabling. Last event took place in a historical venue with great photo corners, so I took advantage of it! #dragonage #emmrichvolkarin #cosplay

Looks like I'll be drawing another autumn valenwind piece for the newest patreon poll, yippie! 🍂🙌 Here are pieces from past years to remind myself how much I love this season for them... 🖤 #FF7 #VincentValentine #CidHighwind #valenwind

Illustration fanart of two Final Fantasy 7 characters - Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine - walking through a vibrant autumn landscape, talking to eachother. There is a small bridge over a river in the background, a forest and a house. Mountains peek behind the trees in the far background. Whole illustration has warm vibrant colors and cozy atmosphere.

Illustration fanart of two Final Fantasy 7 characters - Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine - standing in the rain outside, looking at remains of the rocket launch pad. Vincent holds an old umbrella in his hand and Cid seems like he is smoking a cigarette. The picture is very moody and blue.

Final Fantasy 7 fanart illustration in style of ukiyo-e featuring Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine hiding from a rain under a roof. Background consists of a view on mountains near Rocket Town. There is also a small cottage near a river in the middle plain

| QUEUE KEEPERS | 👁️ "These 'flesh shepherds' were created to watch the sinners behave in the endless lines of Hell. They also search out the individuals who cut in line - they snatch these selfish souls with their staffs to return them to the very end!" #darkart #characterdesign

GATE WATCHERS "At first glance, they seem like tall statues, decorations to each and every gate in Hell, but they are ready to obliterate any tresspasser - both mortal or demon without a permission to enter!" 👁️ Good luck on your strolls in Hell! 🔥 #darkart #characterdesign

Character sheet that looks like an old document or a journal page with many descriptions to three figure pictures on it. The title is GATE WATCHERS, transcripted as custos-portae, right next to is an unreadable text. Below it a description in bullet points: Resting monoliths looking like statues at the many gates in Hell. Next follows, Sensing those who enter unwelcomed. Third, Very hostile once alerted.
Two figures picture the monster in two states - first in it's closed state, looking like a statues with bird like features. Second is in it's opened state, wings with many eyes spread wide, beak opened and a sigil glowing behind it's head crowned with many other beaks.
Other descriptions follow: Closed Watcher - mark is visible only to Hell creatures! Next writing follows: shields on their bodies bear gate symbols and sigils. And last description next to the opened Watcher: opened and alerted Watcher.
There is one more picture on the right, framed and in sepia tones only. It shows a gate with two closed Watchers on each side.

We managed the last bigger con tabling of the season. Tabling at five cons since the start of May. Two bigger cons w/o our helper. Whoof. Was a lot, but its done and over and after next week I should finally be able to rest a little. ;; 💕

The Pilot | The Beast Among the looming horrors of their own making... 🌠 #FF7 #VincentValentine #CidHighwind

Digital illustration fanart of Cid Highwind. He is standing on a fragile looking piece of rock, holding a spear in his right hand while tryinh to reach for a sparkly looking star with his left. There is a rusty looking construction with a rocket from his hometown looming behind him like a great shade. There is also a huge Moon coming down from the top of the picture. The pink-red tones and smoke at the bottom of the piece suggest there is something wrong with the rocket.

Digital illustration fanart of Vincent Valentine. His figure is floating mid air in the center of the piece which is framed by massive Galian Beast, opening his jaw full of teeth right above Vincent's head and clawed hand under or behind Vincent's legs, making it look like he wants to devour or capture him. Vincent remains in his coffin position with his arms crossed on his chest.

Two wolf fanged maws biting on a strap of fabric with a text: "Clenching my Jaws Untill I Grow Fangs". The lower jaws already grow too many extra fangs.

Tea on the porch | 🍵 "It's good you stop by from time to time, Vincent... the place gets more familliar, if you know what I mean, hah!" #valenwind #VincentValentine #CidHighwind #FF7

Digital illustration fanart of two Final Fantasy 7 characters - Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine - standing at a porch of Cid's house which is literred by various old things - from boxes to empty cans of paint and airplane parts. There is also a pin wheel with Tiny Bronco colors from Marlene in the back and barometer on the wall. In the back we can see remains of the Rocket Ship launcher pad and yellow lilly flowers in a pot. And in the very far back, sunset-lit Nibel mountains.
Cid and Vincent are having a chat, both drinking tea from cups.

If you see this, post a monster 🦁 (not my brain panicking WHICH ONE THO)

Digital Illustration of Bael (Baal), a demonic prince of Hell, taking form of a giantic winged lion chimera with extra frog leg holding to a staff. There is also a human skull on his left shoulder. He is standing up on a hill with damaged antique pillars growing from it. There is a sigil burning behind him like a sun and an outline of a crown above his head.

Character limit hurts here, so here is the journal entry for the big guy 🔥 Longer version, hires, concept art and rest of the lore on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/162958...

Hic sunt dracones! is a saying which could be applied to the Hell as a whole. But in case of Messenger territories, its real meaning takes shape. Its notorious little noisy critters which carry messages to all parts of Hell are the closest to the fearsome creatures you often hear about in legends and heroic stories. (...) And nesting on one of the towers, the head of the department, the one who gets a glimpse at each letter sent in Hell - the Administrator.

Le Soldat Mort 💀🍂@lesoldatmort.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"Hic sunt dracones!" Long time no new Hell Employee boss encounter. This time it's the Administrator! And finally another illustrations featuring the Messengers too,... i love my anxious red shrimps 🦐 #darkart #monsterdesign

Vertical oriented digital illustration of a scene from Hell Employees original series. The center is taken by a tall hive-like tower on which sits a giant dragon monster with its long tail wrapped in red employee ribbon swirling around the tower. Lots of little red dragon devils are flying or running around, they are called Messengers. There are other hive towers in the background too. The sky has three moons and dark clouds are framing the picture from the sides.

I realized these doodles have piled up and Manfred deserves his own post..... the best son 💀 #dragonage

Fanart of two characters from Dragon Age Veilguard. Assan playfully stealing Manfred's leg and flying away with it while the skeleton is trying to reach up for it.

Two doodles of Emmrich Volkarin and Manfred from Dragon Age. In the first sketch, Manfred is recieving Mourn Watch robes from Emmrich. The text above reads: "There... I am SO PROUD of you." The second doodle is Manfred trying to balance with multiple tea-sets and desserts placed on his hands, leg and head while hissing "Ta-Daaaahhhh!" and a speechbubble coming from the left (Emmrich's) says:"MANFRED! That's antique!".

Doodle of Manfred the skeleton from Dragon Age doing a silly move and text above him reads [:excited hiss:]

Digital illustration of a motive with two WW1 soldier skulls surrounded by poppy flowers and poppy petals slowly falling apart going from the bottom to the top. The skulls seem to be huddled together in affection, the one in the back looking up to the one facing left.

"When the last vampire is extinct, who will mourn our passing? Will she? Will anyone? Can anyone understand this pain, this loneliness?" 🦇 I really needed to treat myself with new VHD, this time more landscape oriented 🌙 #vampirehunterd #fanart

Digital illustration fanart of Vampire Hunter D with influence of Castlevania. The scene includes a detailed castle in the background, giant moon on a vibrant red sky and figure on a horse in the foreground. The path leading from the viewer to the castle is full of crosses. There are also bats swarming on the sky.
