sometimes you feel like you almost finish a design and then look at it a bit and realize you hate and decide to start from scratch. and it's an important part of the process cause holy shit any one of these designs is so much better than what I had before. #characterdesign #costuming

A nature-theme character costume sketch. Her hair is shoulder-length, fading from light green at the top to bright yellow at the bottom. There are dark green shoots sprouting from it. She has a brown, bark-textured top covered with a shawl made of tangled vines and flowers. She has a brown underskirt with a topper modeled after the wings of a luna moth. The bottom of the skirt has an orange fringe. She wears leather hiking boots and gardening gloves, and yellow tendrils based on a luna moths tails hang from the skirt, some tied to her wrists so they will move with her arms. In the corner is a moodboard collage of four different moth species, tree bark, and various bright, sprouting plants. Her boots have flowers growing from inside them.

She wears a deep green top with a dark, dull green shawl decorated with flowers and moss. Her arms are covered with colorful, beaded fishnets. Her skirt is striped with various shades of brown, and topped with a covered based on the wings of the stained-glass moth. She has leather belt also decorated with beads, and holding three yellow fruits. She has thigh-high socks patterned after the feathers of a brown sparrow, as well as leather hiking boats and gloves. She has wings colored in green, red, and yellow.

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

Bambiraptor feinbergi. Possibly a valid genus… possibly a juvenile Saurornitholestes. Possibly none of the above. I spent far too long on this one. I hope it was worth it 🫠 If the scientists could avoid reclassifying Bambi before people have seen this, I’d appreciate it. 😉 #SciArt

If you see this, show your short hair art!

A color-block style drawing of two girls kissing. One is white with short blonde hair and a pink shirt, the other is Black with short brown hair and a blue jacket over a green shirt. The colors aren't solid though; they are cut-outs of different screenshots of movies. The black background is the same, while also being further textured by a layout of different titles available on Disney+. The bodies of the girls are overlayed with characters and posters from a few different properties. The girls faces have a glowing, golden halo behind them.

Stormy ⛈️ - Preferred VA : Kat Denning & Awkwafina

Stormy, the Angel of Time. She's as-if Limp Bizkit and Lady Gaga formed a super-group. She's an episode of Metalocalypse. A 70's horror B-movie, but on purpose...... She's fucking GRINDHOUSE!!!! But she's super sweet, and adores children especially baby sky turtles. She's kinda like a My Little Pony..... with a "gun". If ANYONE messes with the space-time continuum, she WILL BE THERE, and clap those cheeks!!!! She WILL NOT kill anyone (everyone is apart of Phoe-Bee). But.... there's a lot of beatings that can be dished-out, without killing someone. 😜

Flower: Bird of Paradise

Phoe-Bee 🐝 🦋- Preferred VA : Chelsea Peretti AND Caitlin Glass

Phoe-Bee. She is God. The coalescence of all energy in the universe (including "YOU!"). She's got ALL the knowledge, but still working on figuring out context. She CANNOT read a room. She gained full consciousness in the the mid-1980's, but didn't realize it fully until space-time was broken by a random scientist. She likes to hang-out-with/travel the cosmos with the Living Dead Division as a robotic bee, she originally tried an organic bee, but a 3-foot-long bee wasn't received calmly by really any species.

Flower: Hybrid tea rose

Oil painting of old graveyard at sunset in autumn, on 18-inch by 24-inch canvas. Orange and red sky, with bare trees, green grass, headstones, and some spooky elements in blue and green.

8”x10” oil painting of a large tree in a dark forest, with shafts of light shining through the trees. A small pond sits in the center.

“Bay Waves”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a bright, open seascape. A large wave crashes onto the shore, as cliffs and clouds sit in the background.

“Stairs to the Sky”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a windy, winter landscape, inspired by Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A frosty blue sky looking over cloudy, windswept mountains, while old rock stairs, buried in snow, lead upward to the summit. A stone cairn with a billowing, ragged cloth marks the path.

Pen drawing of an otherworldly landscape with high-walls carved with figures of an ancient Egyptian style with various symbols and patterns towards the top, ending in gardens. These walls frame a set of altars while elements of the ground are liquifying and floating upwards or breaking up with some cenotaphs floating broken up into the air. A large eye looms over the horizon like a sunrise while smaller or more distant ones hover in the sky with tentacles hanging down from their bodies. This is set against a blue sky that turns pinkish purple towards the horizon with several planets in the sky above. A gas giant with green, blue and orange clouds with three moons in orbit around it. A blue planet hangs closer in the sky than a large, reddish orange planet showing signs of cities with three rings orbiting it along with a moon.

Pen drawing of a cluster of beings, from the torso up that have the appearance of skin stretched tight over and under boney ribs leading up into elongated skulls that only have open mouths for features, with hooks in the four corners of them looping around to the back of their head. At the base of these torsos is an eye positioned over a mouth with a long tongue hanging out of it. The entire mass becoming a twisted set of organic and cancerous shapes that spreads out. To They are flanked by large arcs of tusk, carved with sigils and patters with a pyramid shape rising in the distance with each layer made up of shapes resembling screaming faces with voids where their eyes and mouths are. In the middle is a faint planet showing a large scar like canyon through the haze. On the side opposite the pyramid is an arch above set of bones that look like a large column below a circular window and flanked by mottled skin. Behind the arch is a titan scale skull flanked by three spikes where it's right shoulder would be, that has multiple black void circular eyes and a head that flares out into branches tightly woven branches, with a long haired head hanging off one.

Pen drawing of a crouched humanoid figure scratching their chin with one hand while examining a blue, glowing orb in front of it. It's eyes are solid black and the skull slightly elongated with tubes emerging from along its sides up and into a the biomechanical mass that it is perching on. Embedded in the mass of bioforms are faces with extra eyes also examining the orb while several creatures cling to the structure of lounge on it. There is a gap that shows a city off on the horizon, framed by additional growths opposite to the figure. The sky is hazy and a purple star hangs low in the sky near the edge of the 'cliff' the being is on, while additional blue orbs float in the distance.

Pen drawing centered on a face with large, solid white eyes made up of biomechanical forms that twist like an elongated neck up from the waves of the ocean like surface it is emerging from. Faint gills and the effect of the forms being somewhere between tentacles and seaweed flare out as a sun with a blue corona acts as a halo around the head while in the distance multiple organic and aquatic looking large starships hang in the sky while a city with a snail shell like look emerges from a rocky outcropping nearby. A smaller blue sun hangs in the white sky peppered with grey clouds.

Digital painting of two abstract figures, one small and one tall. The tall one is showing the small one a light, which is illuminating the largely dark surroundings.

Digital painting of a ghostly figure looking at the viewer with large bright eyes and pursed lips. A hand is reaching out to the face as if to caress.

Pen drawing of a seated humanoid figure who is made up of a bunch of textured shapes of twisted, flowing shapes that look vein, bone and root like, with larger and smoother segments inscribed with symbols. The entire form is highly textured with fine details and purple gems embedded throughout the base that the body rises from. One arm is fused into the overall shape of the body while the left hand it raised upward, palm towards the figure and purple gems embedded in each knuckle. Only the left half of the face and lips are detailed while the rest is a swirl of silvery grey and purple mist, the neck is long and thin and the 'hair' is like jumble of rocks fused together and hanging down in a few stalagmite like structures flanking the long, columnar neck. Around the figure are silver lines making triangular shapes while rocks float around their head with purple glowing runes forming an inverted triangle behind them. In the foreground are stone arches and other broken structures obscured by low hanging mist.

The start of a painting of 2 shima enaga (long-tailed tits) perched on a branch. It's a faint line drawing on a with canvas.

The same painting, now an abstract background is going in. It'll be an out of focus indication of branches in browns & greys. Light blue nearer the bottom will imply cold & snow. The 2 birds and the branch they stand on are still mostly empty. One bird has its eyes & beak filled in.

The same painting with the bird on the left starting to look more bird-like with white puffy feathers and black wings & tail.
