Six deadly criminals. They’re overachievers for their ages

Heights and Depths with Kaz and Inej

Repost of these two in honor of the new novella! Kaz and Inej and a not so deadly dance. 🐦‍⬛🗡️✨

Anansi and his spider tales

Truly a terrifying experience for me to draw but his stories are much too good to pass up. As if he’d let me…

I SAID I WAS GONNA DO IT

[artbymyth]

Vin Venture, Empress, Hero of Ages, Mistborn

A Byzantine warrior in holy light!

A blazing Phoenix, reborn

[artbymyth]

“A thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle, and snorting out the breath of the terrible flame of bright fire”

A fire breathing Chimera sits atop the ruins of a once great kingdom. Shame.

“Come on Along”

Alex Stern, monstrous queen, Wheelwalker

More details below the cut!

Oh my goodness this was so fun. Below is Alphonse Mucha’s Zodiac which this piece is based on. The zodiac has become a mix of the wheel and the emblems of the Ancient Eight, the Houses of the Veil. The only one not visible is Berzelius, which Darlington would approve. Her headdress jewelry includes a blood red gem, a not so lucky rabbit’s foot for Babbit Rabbit, a star, and an ouroboros. Around Alex’s neck is the yoke described for her in Hell Bent. There’s a few more details throughout but I’ll let you find them yourself!

Tried to remember how to use copics

“Lord, what fools these mortals be”

Some various fae for my monstrous beasts series! A high court tall one fae inspired by Puck, some winged fairies, and even some spindley fingered little ones (are they brownies or gnomes or some other little fae? Who knows but it’s probably not a good idea to find out. Beware the fairy fruit, the fairy ring, and the forest. You may not come back.

My favorite pieces. Working on more. (Now updated to 8!) Disclaimer, these are not historically accurate, they are historically inspired.

I remembered my professor telling me there is no feminine declension to the word “hero” and I decided to change that. So here’s some ancient ladies in masculine warrior dress from their respective cultures!

A Chinese (Terracotta) Warrior Girl

Featuring lion dogs, lucky red, gold, and jade green, magnolias, peonies, and dragon embroidery all on a pagoda and ink and wash style mountains! So happy to finally finish her and add her to the warrior girl line up.
