Okay fine here's my intro

🦐 I mostly draw my own universe/story (Llynne/Children of Zaï), fantastical and slightly eldritch is my jam

🦀 I try to experiment with my art so my style ain't too consistent

🦞 I desperately try to look cool but don't get fooled i'm actually very awkward

Anyway yeehaw 💥

Probably a new bestiary entry coming soon for those cockatrices btw, figured out their lore very fast and easily lol

Back on my worldbuilding grind with a bit of a character concept. I quite like thinking about him in relation of what he means to Xander. #CoZaï

#oc #ocart #ocsky #originalcharacter #cockatrice #alchemy #conceptart #worldbuilding #character #alchemist #digitalart #sketch #concept #art

Concept sketches of a character named Faust Cor-Daurada. Only his greyish-blue hands and a bit of his torso are visible.
He wears one thick sleeve covered in long tentacle-like black feathers.

He is wearing many rings which represents various things as the three primes of alchemy, water, royal sea bream, cocatrices, ceramic tiles, a quill, and the Llynnean entity Zaï.

On top of the rings, a llynnean cocatrix is visible. Its head is red with a bright eye. Its beak's shape features a diamond at the tip.
Other than its head, the body is black. Its tail starts in long tentacle-like feathers and ends dragon-like and scaly.
Its spurs and claws are noticeably big.

text next to the art reads:
Faust Cor-Daurada
A renowned indret alchemist.
Took in Xander as his adoptive son and apprentice. only ever referred to as "old man" ("my old man") by him though. Whenever or not he sees Faust as anything close of a father figure is uncertain and seems to fluctuate.
so that means he's Ollie's grandpa ? woah.
his face is always pictured as shrouded or obscured, like a foggy memory. His skull is more known.
No nonsense kind of guy. Collected and deliberate in his actions. somewhat harsh in his calmness. have a real powerful and intimidating persona, but ends up pictured in an almost comical light when spoken about by Xander and Hope. They take great fun in minimizing him.
Based on a Llynnean cocatrix. Royal sea bream symbols mixed in.
Inspired by Nicodemus from Secret of NIMH design-wise.

I did get one messaging me, worst part is that they were faking being a man from palestine. Imagine using a genocide as a way to push your scam 🤢
Other than that i sometimes get bots following me. Hope bluesky crack down on those

Art summary bc everyone is doing it fr.
Defo wasn't a good year for me, my motivation hit an all time low and i wasn't able to do as much as i wouldve wanted to.
Still i've for sure made improvement and learned more about what works and doesnt work for me and my art so hoping for 2025 to be better

2024 art summary. May, angust and september are blank.

Gotta confess that it's funny to me how i sort of seem to be in the dnd/ttrpg niche of artists on here, because i must admit that i've never actually played any of those lmfao

I do have some interest in it though, just don't have enough friends to actually try them fr

Digital art of a fan character for the game Okami. It looks like a stone fox dragon, with a tail ending in nine points.
Its body is rolled around a bell, with two blue spirit flames floating around it.
It got five legs (two at the back, three in front) and a glowing yellow eye inside its mouth.
Moss grows at parts of its body.
