Octobow Day 13 - Regal

EDIT: I wasn't satisfied with the original one; I was too hung up on making it very circular like Lunacera horn, so I made some adjustments to make it more crescent-shaped and form the shape of a bow. I'll also include the older version in the vault folder later.

Octobow 2025

As a result of the recent vote regarding this year's art challenge. I'm going to make 31 bows this coming October ~

Coincidentally, another fellow item maker was actually thinking the same idea and invited me to join their challenge, which they named 'Octobow'. So, since this is a new challenge, I think I'll join them using their prompt list. Because I know if I ask you all for a prompt, you're going to gather some esoteric words for the prompt... (We'll save those for next year XD). Bu...

Jauharmawth, The King of The Gilded Mountain

Sorry, this one took much longer than I expected. I had a bit of trouble with the details and how to handle/depict the gold hoard.

This one is more straightforward than Ishqara, a dragon so ancient and so full of greed that upon overcoming mortality and becoming a dracolich, it becomes one with its immense hoard. Coins and gemstones become its scale and skin, various relics...

Ishqara, The Thorned Temptress

As the first in the Seven Deadly Sins series, I'm tackling what I consider to be the hardest of the seven: LUST. From the very start, I already struggled with how to portray Lust for this creature. Even after a lengthy discussion with some of you on our Discord server, I am still unable to find the right design. Then I stumbled upon the phrase, 'Mistaking lust for love', which gave me the idea to make ...

Since this time, I'm joining in the middle o...
