Raiel painting

lord I started to go insane painting this because of how long it took me to erase the overflow paint but outside of her back foot which im still not happy with, im proud of the result.

slightly sorry it's so long, it's already set to 16x speed and the app I spliced all 4 recordings into doesnt allow me to speed it up faster than 16x ;_;

Raiel design concept

yeah boy full length video of me ripping my eyes out drawing 1000 scales

you'll see at numerous points i tried desperately to use brushes of scales to save me but none of them worked for what I wanted. rip

Artblock sketches

not the best stuff. mostly mindlessly sketching ezrael trying to break an art block I have--I am actually still getting /shit done/ despite being unable to draw. like yesterday I spent the day converting the ark dossiers into my book format, so it's still work. im still working, even if im doing minimal "drawing"

kinda a bit of a vent sketch there on the right of ezrael losing her shit on her govt officials.

top left on 1st page is ezrael younger [just so we're all a...

sketch

just the sketch of a little guy I've been concepting for both the creature compendium and another side project. he's sorta like an iguanadon if iguanadon had a chicken face and massive frills on its snoot.

trying my hardest to break this art block. [and failing]

this is a new dragon which 10$+ supporters have already seen, and ezrael's namesake.

I admit fully, one of my weaknesses is made-up anatomy. ie: dragons and their fucking limbs. most artists will choose to cop out on complexity and draw wyverns as opposed to DRAGONS because drawing 6 limbs is way fucking harder than 4.

I need to practice it a lot. I just dont have the motivation to do so--also si...

2k19 drake revamps

not major overhauls, just changes. dad-rael has the same clown spots as ez now [because kerr pattern reminds me of a fucking RAPIST i know]

camina was modified as well, and given to chibi since she kept pestering me about the midget halfbreed

Israfel aka Io sketches

was chatting with a friend and I mentioned how I had human chars at one point and then made a joke that I could probably draw them from memory

so I sketched my angel israfel from the good 'ol 90s. she was a fallen angel, white hair, white wings, meditteranian olive skin. sketch was about 5mins so not that impressive, but yeah, some things we don't need references to remember. truthfully, humanoids are just extremely boring and there aren't really any unique traits for humans that...

teaser: ezrael the black death

larger copies will be sent to your DM inbox of the full ref, thank you for your understanding

full version will go to 10$ tier and super large HD goes to 20$ tier

View Post

From here forward

Sketches will be posted to 1-4$ tiers


All other finished content and lore will be posted strictly via DM to circumvent the scraping of my patreon.


It’s an inconvenience to us all, but having lost 133,000$ minus an additional 20-30k in commerical book art to the public/theft, it’s the only way.


Posts will likely have a cropped preview posted on the page as a teaser with the full images being sent via puush links. You will still get the s...

so

today I had to file a federal police report.

one of the patrons here stole a ton of content in my lore tier and reposted it illegally, breaking about a dozen national and international copyright laws.

I'm personally devastated as now my stalker cunt will be able to rip off my shit even more than she already does---I should report her too ngl.

anyway the FBI will be contacting me, as I want to press charges.

kids, don't fucking steal content ...

Space station woe [midsize]

Rhae griping at her grand daughter Asura about pretty much everything.

Space station woes [HD]

monolith of a piece, and practicing the most basic perspective. figure I'll start at the bottom and work up to 2, 3, 5 point, etc. I learned lighting on space stations is tricky, so I mildly gave up trying to make it perfect.

this piece was originally to be something waaay different, but it didn't go that way so it went this way instead and I'm kosher with that.

2 nameless qorroc and chibi's Asura, as well as our Rhaeash. Rhae is the grandmother of Asura [ha, hows t...

Qorroc species guide[open species]

quickie guide here!

I'll do it in bullet format because that's easiest for me

basic guide [because I'll likely never make a species sheet for them]

  • Qorroc are the nearest sentient life to Emain/Astaris in their galaxy. Their distance is 2LY away. When the drakes began to place way gates across their galaxy, the first species they met over 200 cycles ago were the Qorroc

  • Qorroc have a very good na...

character "stats"

Doing this for funs, maybe it'll help some people get a basic idea of some of the characters.

ranking is 1-5 stars// I included main and sub storyline chars of mine. aeryn and hades are background chars but I included them as they're on the behemoth [ez's ship] calypso is also a bg char same as her twin [who has much worse stats] but I included all of Ezrael's "relatives"

Orbiting space station

Rhaeash [mine/chi's] with Asura [Chi's] discussing things while exiting one of many restaurants on the station as 2 Qorroc's pass by, one is lost and the other is happily texting a pal.

it's quite a large setting actually and has been a load of work just to get to this stage. originally i wanted to paint the chars too since the entire bg is also lineless/painted buuut no

anywho, I made the floor assets for this after doing the initial perspective sketch and ...

no ragrats

I mentioned a week or so back to Chi that every time I draw Asura the ears enlongen [it's a real word now, i said so] and I said it was akin to the glorious scary movie 3 scene with the cop

and I threatened to do it to her

AND I DID

yes, clearly if you want to be spoiled with copious doodles of inane and "archaic" memes, you only have to exist [and share my sick sense of humor]

'New' race: Qorroc

In the closest inhabitated solar system from Astaris is the Qorroc [pronounced core-ock]

The Qorroc are one of the abyss drake's allied races. They are somewhat insectoid, long limbed and quite slender. males and females have very little dimorphism. They have 2 antennae on their heads which are thick and end in a glowy bulb, and have a short semi-thick tail ending in another bulb. As a race their eyes are always black, and the exoskeleton/skin can be almost any shade of blue--som...

anyway, the elements in their bones are literally the most typical elements in their solar system. copper [overly abundant] is resistant to radiation [which is abundant on emain, io and qothos]

FAQ

  • I'll try to be as succinct as possible [like always] and will post these in Q/A format

    I'll start to basic questions then move up to more complex

     

    Q: How many eggs do abyss drakes lay?

    A: 2-4 avg. max of 6.

     

    Q: When do female drakes produce eggs/go in heat?[asked by chibi]

    A: While there is no 'heat' females ovulate when the weather is hottest. They do in fact have pheromones' that attract males. Females ovulate every 2 cycles. She...

Lineup

I wanted to do a horizontal layout of the planets/moons/objects

then I got curious, and did a refined version to turn into a tattoo--including the refined tattoo version as well.

and of course a test of how it would look in the future

pretty damn baller

edit: totally forgot to say the important shit

These are the MATHEMATICALLY CALCULATED ACCURATE AND CORRECT SIZES of each and every solar object in the Astaris system.
