I published my second book! It's the sequel to "The Hole Story", and follows Miro and Zarando as they, once again, make less-than-ideal decisions. Contains exactly one scene where a cat goes "Mrow"! Find out more at linktr.ee/wietskewrites

Purple lizard with a shiny new book on its head smiles. In the bottom right corner is another book, labeled 'prequel'. Text on top says 'new book!' Page titled 'featuring:'. Below it are three headshots. Left is a grumpy ginger man labeled "Zarando", below him is the text "Would rather stop breathing than get his socks wet". In the middle is a non-binary person with a white tuft in their hair. They are labeled 'Miro'. Below them is the text "Creator of Miro's notebook" and "Gives out their address to strangers". On the right is a dark-haired man with a beard. He is labeled Queros. The text below him says "Will insult you while saving you" and "Tired of everyone's crap". In the bottom right corner is a book labeled 'prequel'. Text 'The Banished God" floats above a purple lizard with a book on its head.

Been drawing sealbears recently

[ #digitalart #fantasyart #fantasycreature]
A seal with a bear-inspired head makes a somersault in the water. It has a yellow belly and a light blue back with purple patterns. Its face is furry, blue with purple patches. A sealbear (seal with a bear-inspired face) makes a banana pose in the sand. It has a fluffy yellow belly, while its back and head are blue with purple patterns. It is smiling and its tongue sticks out a bit. Tiny hearts float around its head

Miro and Jagemir, besties in every universe

#digitalart #drawing #fantasyart #originalcharacter #ocdrawing
Miro, a freckled enby with a white tuft in their otherwise brown hair, is sitting on a chimney. Jagemir (Jags), a man with short dark hair is standing on the roof next to them, staring into the distance. He has a mountain goat embroidered on his skirt flap.

Funny thing, I decided to redesign his assassin's tattoo because he's had a placeholder all this time. So I checked Miro's notebook for flowers that might have death related symbolism, and landed on the Red Ryorilla. Turns out the original tattoo already matched the shape of the flower

#lore
A page titled 'red Ryorilla', showing a dark red flower. Different parts of it are drawn separately and labelled: the bud, the seeds, the flower head, and a leaf. Below it, a text reads 'according to legends, it grows where blood has been violently spilled'. A headshot of Jagemir. He has a small tattoo on his neck.

Finally gave Jags a new government picture

#art #digitalart #drawing #oc #originalcharacter
A headshot of Jagemir smiling. Next to it is the same headshot but mirrored, showing an overview of both sides of his face. The text on top reads 'Jagemir'. Text on the left says 'mole on jaw'. Bottom text reads 'diamond-shaped scar before lip'. Text on the right reads 'tattoo on neck' and has a drawing of the tattoo, which is a flower head with three leaves. A headshot of Jagemir smiling.

If anyone knows what I meant by this, please hit me up, I'm stumped
#editing #fantasybook
Text that reads: "Miro only looked at him, a look laden with salt and exhaustion and fear. And Queros shook his head, turning the corner to Jicin's house." The word 'salt' is underlined and highlighted.

💜If you see this, post your purple art💜

Apparently purple means Taeri. I love that.

A man with short brown hair and a man with ginger braids sit closely together on a tower, their backs towards the viewer. They are watching a night sky, swirling with blue, pink, and purple. A man with short brown hair and freckles turns his head towards the viewer, smiling. He is wearing a purple sweater.

Markí - born to be a poet, stuck as bartender at the town's inn. Their favourite place to write poetry is at Tsuka's old temple, or what remains of it - the temple has fallen to ruin since the God Regnant outlawed 'false' gods. Markí doesn't mind - there's a kind of beauty in the ruins, isn't there?
