The Creature Forge

My art blog. Mostly my own ideas, some occasional fanart, and likely a lot of garbage. New to the tumblr thing, learning as I go.

Summary:  Soon after Overwatch's recall and fragile reformation, Helix Securities approaches them offering a deal they can’t refuse: help them contain the awakening God Program Ra in exchange for their support to continue to act. But they don’t want just any Overwatch operative going in, their plan hinges around Zenyatta’s cooperation.

My own version of Human Zenyatta as written in my Genyatta Zine submission, ‘The Man-Machine Dichotomy’ available to read on AO3.

My contribution to the @genyattazine ! I was super honored to be allowed to take part with so many gifted artists and authors!

The Western Terrace was but steps away and in minutes Genji emerged from the temple and back out into the sunlight, strong and over-bright as the day came to a close. Through the glare he could just barely pick out the form of a slim figure garbed in robes and leaning on the railing. “Are you Tekhartha Zenyatta?”

“I am,” A smooth voice agreed, quiet, curious, and somehow familiar—“And who might you be?”

Genji squinted behind the visor, the sun painfully bright and raised a hand to try and block some of the glare. “I am Genji Shimada. I spoke with Mondatta, having come here seeking… guidance. He said that if anyone would be able to understand the balance between man and machine—“ he cut off, seeing the monk more clearly. Skin and flesh—a human looked back at him with blue eyes. “You… You’re just a boy! A human boy. The one from the shrine!” he recognized him now, anger beginning to boil within him.

“A boy?” This human monk, Zenyatta, smiled placidly, his expression amused, “Well that is hardly charitable.”

This was a piece I did last year. There are some parts that I could probably do better these days if I wanted to update it, but I still like enough of it that I'm not quite so desperate yet.

The Four August Celestials: Niuzao the Black Ox, Chi Ji the Red Crane, Xuen the White Tiger, and Yu'lon the Jade Serpent (from left to right), imagined as humans instead of their usual beastly shapes. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria fanart, my favorite expansion pack so far. This piece was done in 2013 and is a little older, I've changed the way I paint a few things now, but I'm still pleased with the way this looks and the designs used. Perhaps one day I'll revisit these four and give them an update!

A piece I did for my Facebook cover at the end of 2015. She's a vaguely eastern-inspired dragon from a novel I've been working on, on and off for a few years that has a bunch of other original dragon-esque critters. I expect there will be more of them showing up here. She 'flies' with internalized gas-bladders, and cannot actually ever land.
