kazimir didn’t mean to hurt sitri’s feelings, and when he realised he had, he didn’t know how to say he’s sorry—so instead he gets him this huge scarf as an apology gift. it’s the first time someone has given sitri something simply because they care, without expecting anything in return, and it fills him with a new kind of warmth.

i’ve long wanted to do a part 2 follow-up to ’impatience’ featuring julian and andreas, and since jaeger&wick mentioned wanting to see more of them—-here it is. things have heated up, to say the least.

which of mine and kubi’s characters and pairings should i draw for future weekly art pieces?
do you want to see more of one of our best-known pairings? or perhaps you’re curious about a character you saw in a sketchdump? or someone you read about in an oc spotlight but that i haven’t properly drawn yet? or maybe you want to see more of a past monster of the month? comment below, i’d love to know!

softly now.
fun fact 1: remember how my whole ‘one piece of art every week‘ challenge is about being less perfectionist? about not getting stuck refining a piece ad nauseum, about not tweaking it and adding details for hours and hours after it’s already finished? this painting really put me to the test. it was so hard to ‘let go of,’ because i kept seeing things i could cha...

so i’ve long had this vague mental image of what i wanted the prime (demonic leader) of envy to look like, but only now sat down to transfer it to paper (so to speak). they turned out looking exactly like i wanted them to, and i’m sure everyone who’s had that same success knows how incredibly satisfying it is!
the whole realm of envy is themed on swamps, marshes, and disease, with envy being like a mire (so easy to fall into, so hard to get out of) or an illness (catches ...

the subject of HOW TO MONSTER 09, as voted on by ~you~, is going to be monster horns & antlers.
as usual, here’s your chance to pose questions on this topic and to tell me what kind of info, tips, and ideas related to horns & antlers you would find most useful and helpful.
for example, do you want to see a variety of horn & antler shapes? or ideas for what material they can be made of/resemble, aside from the conventional kerat...

leah was born in ashwick, a certain english town previously mentioned in samuel's story. ashwick was always strange, isolated, and somehow ... different. a woman accused of witchcraft had once cursed the town, and it had a long history of mysterious events and eerie occurences. by the 1880s, when the story of ashwick cultimates, england's official religion was protestantism, but ashwick remained in...

so i’ve long had this character named lei, who has a fairly well-developed story but i never quite managed to pinpoint his design. he is basically a lab-grown mix of spirit and mortal, set loose upon the world to wreak havoc. he quickly becomes infamous, eventually ends up in prison, and is stuck there for decades. a spirit and a priest finally breaks him out, and he learns that for some unfathomable reason the mad sun god helwusah has chosen him as his champion.

... but holy shit lol, this was maybe the most difficult monster of the month design i've ever done.
deciding on some of the basic stuff was easy enough. i chose to make this dragon a beefy lesbian, simply because i was in the mood for it (i’m so weak to muscular monster ladies). i wanted her to be a veritable tank, all muscle...

character doodles! you might recognise some of the portraits from recent oc spotlight polls: thoeris (aristocratic raptor lady), shamassah (the mad god of the sun), layla (desert princess turned burlesque dancer), dogs (fighty orc who killed her shitty werewolf boyfriend and is wearing his pelt) and murmur (the loyal servant of the demonic lord of acedia).
then there’s a couple of random sketches and design ideas, including a swamp monster with an, uh, interesting design feat...

my art goal for 2020 is to try to do at least one piece of art every week. it doesn’t matter if it’s simple or complex, detailed or minimal, rough or polished—as long as i draw (and post!) something every week. i only thought of this goal/challenge halfway through january, which is why i’m kicking it off in week 4 lol. i’ll do my very best to stick to it from now on, but it’s okay if i miss a week here or there (sometimes life just gets in the way, yknow).

vasilisa is based on THE vasilisa prekrasnaya of russian folklore, but with a heavy emphasis on based on. her tale begins in medieval russia, with the shitty stepmom sending her to baba yaga’s hut, and involves many elements from the fairytale in question. but as with many of the stories set in our ’gods among us’ universe it’s ultimately a drastically different tale, an homage full of references but with zero claim to staying true to canon.

the yule goat monster was the clear winner of the winter holiday poll and so here he is, in all his glory!
the design is inspired by old yule goat masks/costumes and depictions, mixed with certain straw goat features - specifically the braided horns and the red ribbon, the latter of which translated so easily into something rather kinky-looking. the lettering is directly copied from holiday postc...
