an oil painting of a coyote in profile against a blue sky. it holds a bouquet of california poppies, coulter's lupine, and yarrow in its mouth while honeybees buzz around it. the colors are all bright and saturated digital illustration a ringtail (bassariscus astutus) holding a chunk of gold atop a saguaro cactus and against a backdrop of the sky. the gold shines with bursts of light and the clouds are swirling in the sky; everything else is rendered semi-realistically a digital illustration of a steller's jay in flight against the backdrop of a ponderosa pine forest. light green swirls accompany it and thread throughout the piece digital illustration of my ocs yarrow (he/they) and grimm (they/it). yarrow kneels and washes grimm's feet in a dingy motel room while grimm watches them in bewilderment, not believing it deserves something like this. both of them are backlit by haloes- yarrow's is a honeycomb-like hexagon while grimm's is circular and surrounded by barbed wire. the illustration is overlaid with red lineart of an anatomical heart above yarrow's head and a coyote with submissive posture on grimm's side of the piece. both are mutated humans; grimm looks almost entirely human but has some fur growing on their face, meanwhile yarrow has beelike features including mandibles, antennae, extra eyes, and asymmetrical carapace on their body, including their entire right arm.

Making the most of the last of autumn and finishing this guy's reference ✨
A character reference of a fluffy dragon with navy fur and bright orange and red accents. They're themed on maple leaves, and they have leaf-shaped wings along with leaf-shaped ears, chin fur, and tail fur. They have antlers like tree branches that are barren when their wings aren't present, but sparse leaves cover them when their wings are shown.

Mexican Gothic 3 of 3

Last image of the month for my Patreon! The color palette this month was so small I was a little anxious, but it turned out to be extremely powerful.

Join by the 30th to get this set

you better watch out !!! 💥 || #art #ocart
A drawing of two characters. One is large, has a lot of shocking pink, shaggy hair, and "dressed up" as Krampus. They have a mouth of sharp teeth and a long yellow tongue. They are holding a birch branch with nails in it, and appear to me in movement, like they are leaping. The other character is in a basket on their back. She is dressed in a Santa Claus-like outfit and is holding a long staff of shapely golden wood. Some magic appears to be coming from the staff, resembling a comet. There is text on the Krampus's basket that reads: "You been naughty".

digital drawing of my ocs grimm (they/it) and yarrow (he/they) with a text box with "Honeybee: the basics" overlaid. both are mutated humans; grimm looks almost entirely human but has some fur growing on their face, meanwhile yarrow has beelike features including mandibles, antennae, extra eyes, and asymmetrical carapace on their body. They're both wearing western-esque clothing with grimm looking more like an outlaw in all-black, and yarrow looking more casual To the left of the page is a text box that reads "An Overview: Honeybee is a sci-fi(ish) western romance mostly about being (in)human, bearing the weight of the past, and trying to be a "good" person. In a desert viewed as a wasteland, people turn a blind eye to anything from ecological destruction to genetic experimentation as long as it makes cash. Cruelty is a given— but so is kindness, if you look closely. The story takes place over the timespan of about a decade and has three major parts with time skips in-between. Part Three (P3) is the "present day". Grimm and Yarrow are the protagonists; the two of them irreversibly change one another in many ways as they go from strangers to intensely devoted partners." To the right is a digital drawing of Grimm and a digital drawing of Yarrow stacked vertically. digital drawing of my oc yarrow waving cheerily with informational text to the side that reads: "Yarrow (he/they)- Human with honeybee mutations- actually very excited about the whole situation. Small-town doctor. Benevolent, Eccentric, Bookish, Adventurous. Believes there is good in people and the world despite bearing witness to its cruelty- wields his hope like a weapon. It also helps to have a shotgun, though." the primary drawing is labelled "P3" (for their design in the story's third part) and at the bottom of the page are two additional boxes with how they look in P2 (fully human with no bee modifications, but otherwise the same build-wise) and P1 (younger and thinner) digital drawing of my oc grimm with informational text to the side that reads: "Grimm (they/it). Human with coyote mutations- very good at hiding their coyote traits until P3, when they stop caring. Outlaw, farmhand, and (ex?)attack dog. Jaded, Calculating, Lonesome, Devoted. Prefers animals to people. Doesn't really believe it's a person, but is nonetheless good at reading people." the primary drawing is labelled "P3" (for their design in the story's third part) and at the bottom of the page are two additional boxes with how they look in P2 (similar, but shaves the fur on their face) and P1 (also similar but younger and has shorter hair)

[1/4] NEW COMIC TIME!! This one is a lyric comic too, set to RAIN by Sleep Token!! I hope you enjoy it <3

[ #comic #art #thestormline ]
A comic cover depicting a heraldic dragon wrapped around a stylized "sword", wings spread across the background. The background shows storm clouds, and wind pressure charts, as well as four jet planes crossing it. There are red details on the cover, particularly a red crown on top of the dragon, and red lightning bolts over the whole page. The text reads the title "KINGSLAYER" and underneath it the subtitle reads "lyrics from rain by sleep token" The first panel shows a dragon, kelan, pensively looking out into the sky, with the silhouette of his father behind him. The text reads "for so long I have waited, so long that i almost became just a stoic statue fit for nobody". The next panel shows kelan surrounded by screaming shadow dragons, symbolizing the pressure he's put under because of his role as prince, the text reads "and I dont wanna get in your way". The next panel shows him running away from the shadows, along the text "but I finally think I can say" The last panel zooms out to show he is running towards a larger dragon, Cercerion, in a field of tall grass. They are both smiling and clearly enjoy each others company. The text reads "that the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me"
