Early Concept - Histlek : God of Self Hatred

God of Knots, All-Giver, the Torment Organ.

They are the embodiment of self-loathing, self-destruction, and over-giving of oneself.

Further description in alt-text.

Early rough concept for Histlek : God of Self Hatred. Likely will change up their look, but for now...

Histlek : God of Self Hatred, God of Knots, All-Giver, the Torment Organ.
They are the embodiment of self-loathing, self-destruction, and over-giving of oneself. They are embodied by the tying of too many knots and animal biting it's own leg among the Manava, the knotting of hair and gnarled trees among the Jabikah, and twisting of horn-crest and a prey animal presenting itself for sacrifice among the Lorperor.

Symbolically, Organ Gods are focused on the spirit, the internal, so unlike a Shell God of Hatred which would be outward aggression, and a Feather God of Hatred which would be an intellectual aggression, Histlek is hatred turned inward.

It is normal for Organ Gods to sacrifice some of their body to act as guide for sea souls to corporealize on land , but Histlek has cast away much more of their body compared to their fellows, with their remainders warring upon itself.

Some say if you especially displeased the gods, they'd siphon your soul into Histlek's organs as eternal punishment .

In Manavan cultures Histlek is a fate for those who make too many bad deals with Gods, or for those whose own self-hatred makes them bitter to their tribesmen.

In Lorperor culture Histlek is more positive as a figure of great sacrifice, embodying the giving of one's self in favor of the group. Even then they are still seen as punishment for bad leaders and criminals who must give up everything for their failure to the Pride.

Among the Jabikah they are a curse and another reason to loathe the gods.

The Vulgoth view Histlek more like an obscure cousin that they've heard of but never met.

I’ve been getting into heraldry lately, and now I know that this coat of arms would be described as: “or, a goblin rampant contourny azure, armed argent and langued gules”

Slender-billed Curlew has officially been declared extinct yesterday. I will treasure all these artworks from fellow artists even more, as a tribute to this bird! Anyone who has a sketch, pencil drawing, etc. of this species laying around, I'm interested to make a swap!

At the center of Viridia lies the great market. It's used by the forest folk as a place to trade with the humans, as it's not yet affected by the Strange.

Isometric ink drawing of a marketplace overrun by the Forest. A few humanoid silhouettes are visiting a friendly looking large spider. On the side there is an illustration of a decorated box and the portrait of the spider.

Hello, here's a bunch of Dwarves I've been suggested to draw on insta.

Sketch pages filled with various dwarves. From left to right : A executioner, a miner that looks suspiciously like Wario, A surf teacher, a druid picking mushrooms and a gaulish warrior.

Sciapod observations

various sketches of alien, one legged creatures that lack arms and facial features save for one large staring eye.
In one corner of the page, a sciapod is shown transforming into a more humanoid form with 4 limbs.
In another section, a sciapod lifts into the air on ethereal flowing wings of energy as a halo whirls around their head.

So I really do need to be making some "LOOKING FOR WORK" material because I am very much without a job currently, but you'd think me keeping up the pace of doing about 2 drawings a day for 150 days straight as a side project would be a pretty good advertisement.

I can't wait for @sispurrier.bsky.social and @matiasbergara.bsky.social's A Mischief of Magpies. This sort of world building is what the larger and wider comics page is made for. Fantasy and science fiction are just generally better with this aspect ratio. @dstlry.bsky.social #comics #FantasyComics

I found another issue of the same magazine that had half the pages ripped out to wrap Christmas ornaments with. Apparently that Yoshi game had a Game Boy Advance companion piece. I get why this one went unreleased. I don't think people want to play an "irreconcilable differences" simulator.

Though ads with Latin script were what I was emulating, I couldn't resist adding some Japanese ads to my refs. Where advertisers abroad went for edgy, Japanese ads were SEXY—sleek lines, confident blocks of color. Modern. Stylish. The kind of ads that knock you on your ass—the good stuff!
