Heyo, I'm Zilof 🍂

I draw pinups, creatures, and do character design ( and periodically game dev stuff ).

Expect a lot of doodles/sketches... and boote.

Uhh I dunno who to tag to do this who probably hasn't done it already... 💦
So anyone please feel free to promote yourself the same way!

Mock-up of a PC-98 box art for Paldra, if I were to ever get to make it.
Ven D'Agrahm is posing with her back turned in the bottom right, and three imposing figures are faded in the background. A sinister pair of eyes looks on in the sky.

Very crude mock-up of Paldra. I don;t even know what genre it would be. This was more of a tiling exercise. It takes place in a forest on the edge of a village, with little bit of light poking through the foliage. Ven waits on the other side of a gap squaring off at a strange enemy.

Larger sprite exercise of Bella Forte, an antagonist from another game idea. Trying to lean into a more Sega Genesis/Megadrive style. She strikes an airborne battle pose with her cape flowing behind her.

Ref sheet for Cinnamon. Details on all her components and add-ons are listed. Her headdress folds up to reveal a light. Her mouth opens to reveal a vacuum. Various eye colors and what they indicate. How her pigtails are constructed through a series of red spheres ( at the end culminating in the multitool ), and various add-on attachments.

I'm sure she'll be fiiiine, just a little seasonal nonsense and mischief.

The pumpkin will surely eventually turn to goo.💦

Aw yeeee~ When folks got something to smile about; its a good day.

On the flipside, that banane puzzle reward in DKB is freakin' LAME. Random outfits are normally a toggle or options menu whatzit.
Feels like a $5 game mode with a $15 bow tie, also DK Island is there.

Broke out my markers and pen ( I need more tbh ) again recently. Dunno why i wanted to doodle a pumpkin lady with a very backless dress... and sharp teeth.

Anyway uh, here she is. Felt nice getting some motivation to doodle something. Dunno what to name her though. 🎃

#ic #Pumpkin_lass #flora-fauna

Initial sketch of pumpkin lady, after many erasures. Still mostly like the general proportions though.

Its a front/back 3/4 view. Her cheeks and mouth are carved in traditional lantern shapes, while her eyes are large ovals with her "pupils" being the light from the candle within. Her hair is three large leaves and a short, curly vine. She is very pumpkin shaped, with a larger busom and boote. She wears knee length heeled boots and a long, snug dress with an open back ( exposing half her tushie and pumpkin stem "tail" )

Various expressions for the pumpkin lady: neutral, grin/sneer, side glare, annoyed, shouting in a rage, annoyed squinting, absolutely shocked to the core/enraged, HUGE smug smile, and... not quite sure but something happened.

Pumpkin lady fall down.
She looks incredibly pissed off with her papers flying everywhere. Her pupils are small and fierce, with the eyelash wisps also thinning out. One eye in a bullseye and the hole is visibly cracking. Her frown is toothy and tilted. Her tushie is very prominently showing from her low-cute dress and busom smushed as she's laying down.

Pumpkin lady frantically and nervously lights a match to relight the flame in her head as it's gone out. Smoke wafts from her right ( you left ) eye socket, as her hand trembles with the lit match. Normally she uses a stemmed lighter for this, as she's essentially going in blind. The matches are for pinches only.

I made a doodle of her. They have a fun shape to draw.

Pen doodle of Orbmaiden giving a peace sign. A small version of them is in the background kicking their leg into the air.

Still on a shaky hiatus from online stuff, stuff's been rough here.

Just wanted to hop on to make sure I got that draw to their recipient.

Year's kicking a lot of our butts this year, so i dunno, I feel like little gestures are important and go a long way.

Fun collab with @zilof.bsky.social
They sketched Zeena, and I handled the lines and colors.
It was fun.

Same, especially if they're larger.

I try to but generally end up feeling like I have little to no presence unless I'm complaining/being negative, and i don't want to be that person. Even then, it feels like conversations end when I chime in lol

🍂Zilof🍂 @zilof.bsky.social · Jul 11

Happy Birthday! 🎈🎊🎉

🍂Zilof🍂 @zilof.bsky.social · Jul 11

🍂Zilof🍂 @zilof.bsky.social · Jul 10

Just been sketching.
Inspired by a bud's work, been having fun with this character.
They called her the "Orbmaiden" once and its stuck in my head, and probably going to be their placeholder name for now at least.
Scarlet the flower girl is her magic buddy.

#oc #Orbmaiden #Scarlet

First doodle of the Orbmaiden.
It didn't start in this theme but ended up unintentionally following one of 'what can i do with most everything made of circles, half circles, ellipsoids etc.
He head is a sphere, hate brim a flat plane with a poker chip motif for the inlay and two baubles hanging from the star's legs. She's very round, goes without saying. She also has two floating sphere gloves with stripes claw fingers.

Various doodles getting an idea of what she's about.
Top left: Bouncing in her hat like a pogo stick.
Top right: Rotating her legs like a helicopter kind of like Chun Li does, except her body here can spin independently 360 degrees.
Bottom left: She got smacked by something and literally made her head spin.
Center: She's skating on the spheres attacked to her feet.
Bottom right: BUTTE

More stuff she can do. Mostly using her head and hands etc independently from her main body, including putting her had on one of her gloves as a makeshift 'stealth mode'.

She is also astonished how huge her butt apparently is, giving an utterly shocked expression as her body tries to find where her head rolled to.

The Orbmaiden doing more weird stuff. She has extended her claws to act like a tripod for her weird camera.
Various expressions for funsies.
Laying on her front with an 'oh hi' happy expression.
Lastly she's showing off her buddy Scarlet, who had burst a bouquet from her arms and head is in full bloom. ( Yes I know roses don't have stamen like that, deal with it she's just a weird creature )
