Digital drawing of a dragon, only its head and neck visible. Its head and neck are covered in sharp, dark blue scales; it has two blue horns pointing backward, and its eye is orange-red. In the background, you can see the evening sky with clouds on either side and the sun shining just below the dragon's chin.

Digital drawing of a dragon (head and neck only) looking directly at the camera. Its body is covered in red scales. Its chest is covered in light brown plates. The right eye is orange, while the left eye is bluish and has four scars. It has one blue horn and another pale blue horn that appears to have been shaved. It has a golden mane. Its nose is dark blue, and it has a pair of visible fangs. An orange light comes from the bottom left. The sky is dark blue, and some orange clouds that look like fire can be seen in the background.

Ohhh apparently it's #PortfolioDay again!

I'm Vicky, I paint space and use genuine space dust in my original pieces!

Light pollution is such a HUGE issue, that I've made it my life's mission to bring to stars to everyone!

I dabble in astrophotography occasionally too.💜💫

I guess even genuine-looking accounts can be scammers

the account @thievesguild.biz trying to convince me to add them on discord to tall about a supposed person impersonating me, but we all now about this scam right?

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.

The deity of my DND Barbarian Zealot.

The anomalously existent god of the Dhy Shtarken half-orc tribe, GRAWL is a being of the strengthening of one's self and others.

Veiled in viscera of a beloved divine opponent, tongue whispering to the worthy so they may join in the Wallow.

A massive hippo laying in a cosmic starry blue pool. It is cloaked in a bright red covering of sinew and viscera. A large mouth filled with ten white tusk protrudes from the mass, holding a large cloudy blue orb within the maw. A dark serpent hangs from the mouth and curves towards the orb, it's body glowing internally.
