I managed to scan today's stamp! One of the cutest critters I've found playing the game, I love them so much...

Black stamp of a bell beast from the game Silksong - it's a bug-like creature with a mask and some bells floating around

Hi hi that sounds like a cool idea! I love doing TTRPG character commissions - the first three are recent samples of a tarot card, party scene, and character design commissions :) last one as extra sample of group art because I LOVE drawing compositions with multiple characters

Tarot art commission for a vampire woman, she has gears in the background, and she's holding some sort of tech piece with wings on one hand, a book in the other. The card is I - The magician

A party art of a group reunion at a neon-vibe diner, they seem to be talking through a plan but each of them has a different mood. For sample, the left character is just waving at the right character that looks back in disdain. The leader and the ones to his left seem to discuss the plan while the ones on the right seem to not be agreeing.

Character design commission for an anthro antelope/satyr woman with a broken horn. The left design has leather clothes and a blue cape while the right one has a more cozy green vibe.

Full watercolor illustration of my OCs from a personal story, with the three main ones at bottom and the rest at top.

A couple samples of layouts I've prepared and a couple illustrations that aren't targeted for kid books :)

Layout design for a couple videogame articles

Mini booklet I wrote, prepared layout and photoedited a cover for, about Pokemon Scarlet Violet videogames

Watercolor illustration for my story TSOH featuring the main three characters and another 7 relevant ones.

This is your reminder to take a rest, stretch, drink water, rest your eyes, flop on bed, whatever you need and can do for your body

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 2d

Doing common day things such as shopping really is exhausting when you are ND, I got that reminder today

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 2d

A little fun fact, the greenish one from the tests isn't from a green pad, I stamped the blue + yellow to see what sort of green it would make but I wasn't convinced

Still, happy to see improvements on my registration/lining up, it's always a little hard!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 3d

The 4th one is for a game I played a couple months ago. Nine Sols was a hard game for sure but I really enjoyed the curious taoism and cyberpunk mix, and many of thr character designs

Linocut and a tiny behind the scenes :)

#linoctober #graboctubre #artober #linocut #ninesols

Same linocut drawing in three colors: blue, black and yellow, of Yi from Nine Sols with a sun and rays in the background

Wip of the seal with some color tests on grid paper, the stamp itself and the material to cut it.

Very good choice 😌 I really like him, he's a really nice chara!

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 4d

And a couple doodles with my thoughts, in the end I specially see them in contrasts: my adult vs younger self, sapphic vs masc self, introversion vs extroversion etc. it’s sort of like the two sides of me in my head.

Funny enough, Nala is easier, but Hiku is easier/more recognizable drawn in BW

Little info about my sonas with Nala the bear at top left and Hiku the red panda at bottom right.

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 4d

I’ve been wanting to draw my sonas together and introduce them for a bit and I got some time today! Nala is my proper sona, she’s the one of my icon, while Hiku was born as an OC and eventually became sort of a sona.
They are friends in my head even if I rarely draw them together!

My fursonas Nala, a brown bear wearing a yellow sweater, and Hiku, a cheerful red panda with a teal top

Both Ashley and Elliot are pretty secondary characters, but I like them a lot still. I can also tell you the older siblings are pretty caring for the younger ones, these ones have a pretty good relation. It's also funny to me to say Elli and Ile because that's how I call them

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 4d

From main OCs, there's two that have siblings! The mains are Tesh (they/he) and Ilenne (she), at right, and then there's their little siblings at left - Ashley (she) and Elliot (he) :)

Don't mind me I only had these 5 y.o. sketches of them together from when I was figuring out the siblings designs

My OCs Ashley at left and Tesh and right. Ash has a low ponytail, glasses and two purple hair highlights, she's wearing a pink and grey hoodie. Tesh has some lightly matching vibe with a higher ponytail, a pink shirt and a black and grey hoodie.

My OCs Elliot, at left, and Ilenne, at right. Elliot has long brown hair, half tied on a bun, freckles, and is wearing a brown apron on a white shirt and green vest. He has a wooden leg. Ilenne has white hair, and blue, white and brown clothes along a dark brown cape.

Damn it!!! CERNOS!!! @dmnitcernos.bsky.social · 5d

Savon's weapon is flamberge, when it hits, it leaves awful lacerations. Due to that, Savon often perceived as a dangerous swordsman, even though he is a pacifist and uses his sword only in folk dances.

This duality is intentional and i love it so much!

Nice! Okami fans unite ⭐ do you have one fav character?

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 5d

Thank you ❤️ Id assume you like the game based on your username? Haha

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 5d

and I personally have more fun with something like that than a monochromatic drawing. I hope you enjoy this version this year <3

Nala @nalvali.bsky.social · 5d

NICE! I think I also did 2 or maybe 3 but I'm not sure, I've been doing more consistently one in October so I'm usually too tired for huevember but I really love it <3 and honestly, even tho I didn't use that template, it's pretty much what I did on the one I shared :) it's very fun to do!

Brain is so much chaos I should make a schedule to share things on sites, because otherwise I'm starting to see my routine is offer commissions, work on them, and prepare cold mails...that said, I will try to share today the 3rd linocut!
