I always wanted to paint a larger version of the white wolf with the lantern because so many people asked for prints. The original was just a tiny postcard-sized miniature, so making prints simply wasn't possible.

Painting of a white wolf with a glowing lantern, surrounded by watercolor palettes, paint tubes, colored pencils and art supplies on a wooden desk.

Thank you to @guttertongue.bsky.social for this absolutely excellent character design! Decades as a petty tyrant proved disappointing: bandits obnoxiously gristly, subjects obnoxiously thankful. So they set off for uncharted lands and the monsters lurking within, hoping for a real challenge.

A character sheet depicting a monstrous fantasy character. They are similar in appearance to an enormous slug, although the front of their body rises up into a humanoid torso, arms, and head. They are tan and brown in color, with their 'mantle' covered in spots and lined with a row of eyestalks. Their gastropod 'foot' is lighter in color, almost a dark yellow. They are capable of rapidly secreting hard metallic 'scales' as a defense, and reabsorbing them back into their body once the threat recedes.

They wear a crude necklace with three animal skulls, a green spotted rag tied around the waist of their humanoid portion. A number of larger monster skulls are tied together with rope and also worn like a belt around their waist. Into the back of their mantle are stuck a number of broken bladed weapons.

The frontal portion of this character's body is protean in nature, and so they have a number of forms. The form they prefer is that of a muscular humanoid woman, although they also sometimes appear as a much skinnier humanoid man. In both cases they have spots on their shoulders, unkempt brown hair, eyes with black sclera and red irises, and dark fingernails. They can also take on any of a number of considerably more monstrous forms should the need arise.

The character sheet depicts the following images of them:

A side view depicting their full body, with dark brown overlapping scales covering every part of their body except their mantle, arms, and head.

Two halfbody views depicting their humanoid guises.

A primitive looking axe, which they keep as a favored weapon.

Two frontal halfbody views depicting their humanoid form with and without their defensive scales.

A fullbody depiction of them in their monstrous form. They are rearing up, and the humanoid part of their body has been replaced by a monstrous looking 'head' with six clawed arms and a pair of horns covered in eyes.

Another absolutely incredible piece of Solruatiavanimil completed by @boaillustration.bsky.social! =D 💖 Definitely cannot recommend her enough. 💕Thank you Bee for always doing such an amazing job with all of your character work!

A character sheet depicting multiple different poses and emotions of a cervitaur druid character. On the left is an image of them in the past, antlers still intact and smiling peacefully as they work in a vegetable garden. The depictions on the right side of the sheet show them in the present, with the top pose caring for an injured creature, the middle pose puzzling something out, and the bottom pose in a teary state of distress. The center of the piece depicts a dynamic present day pose of them mid-battle, raised up on their hind legs and with their short bow drawn and ready to fire.

Good afternoon, everyone! =D Have to share this absolutely GORGEOUS piece of the current version of my alseid/cervitaur druid, created by @boaillustration.bsky.social! She seriously did a beyond incredible in bringing them to life. ❤️❤️❤️

Image is of a non-binary cervitaur (half elf/half deer) laying down and smiling at the viewer sheepishly. Their elven half has a copper complexion with dark brown shoulder-length hair and green eyes. Their antlers have been shorn off near the base, leaving two small stumps remaining on their forehead. Their deer half has reddish brown fur with dark brown legs and a white underbelly. Behind the character is a backdrop of an ornate patterned circle.

A character that @sinealas.bsky.social designed for me! Thank you so much!!! The dracofolk civilizations are much diminished from their age of glory, but there are those who still consider themselves treaty-bound to wage war against tyranny and injustice.

Two illustrations of the same fantasy character. He is humanoid in appearance, but for the lower body, membraneous wings, and tail of a dragon. His legs are digitigrade and his hands and feet are clawed. His draconic parts are covered with white scales, which also run up the sides of his torso and cover his shoulders and neck. His eyes are an icy blue and his hair is also white, and he has a pair of twisted horns growing out of his head.

The image on the left depicts him wearing ceremonial armor, with ornately crated metal pieces protecting his thighs, shoulders, and forearms; his uniform also features a bifurcated cape that trails behind him. He holds a metal polearm with some sort of arcane flame burning within it. The image on the right depicts him in the same pose but without clothes and with his wings unfurled.
