Valen’s Art and Inspiration Blog. Hablo Inglés y Español. ✨My Art tag's over here. 🌟Commission Info 📸Instagram: kitty.clockworks 🎨ArtStation ☕️Buy me a coffee!
I lowkey wish I had legit writing skills so I could work on some oneshot (pun not intended) fic involving these two, perhaps with a “siblings who barely tolerate each other” dynamic.
(’s been a while, Tumblr! And internet in general. To put things short, quarantine has been about as easy for me as it’s been for everyone else, but things are looking somewhat better and I finally got myself a new tablet! ✨)
Adorable purple cat-like AI above is The Entity from the videogame “OneShot”. Lower guy is AM from a short story titled “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, and the awesome AM design was made by @mellomemos !🖥️✨
(A fair warning, AM’s story is rather heavier on the horror / darkness and hopelessness aspects, unlike the somber but hopeful tone OneShot displays.)

Some choice words regarding the source material the not-a-cat person comes from under the cut, to make the main post a little less bulky 🔸 ...assuming I got the “read more” done correctly, that is!
For those in the IHNM tag who haven’t played OneShot, I can’t stop recommending it! The Entity (purple catlike good pal) and AM remind me of each other at times due to somewhat spoileriffic traits, but I guess I can disclose that both struggle with difficult emotions (anxiety and anger issues™️) and having quite the upset feelings towards their programming. Otherwise though, OS goes an entirely opposite thematic direction to IHNM, and you’ll prolly end up wanting to hug your favorite AIs after you’re done with the whole story.
Celeste and A Short Hike are two wholesome retro-ish games featuring girls climbing mountains, though with opposite approaches to challenge, both of while are wonderful 🏔
I also made a couple (quick) wallpaper versions at request 🍓
Aaaaand it’s finished! It’s been a while, Tumblr. Partly because of this site’s admittedly clunky uploader, though I was really lucky being able to queue these pics at 3AM...
This is but a small but well-deserved homage for my current (and first!) D&D party. It’s been an awesome year and half weaving wacky hi-jinks with them, and I hope we only have more adventures to witness together! They’re travelling between towns, in the search of the next dungeon entrance’s location.
Along with this, I sketched a height chart to figure out the palettes and proportion between all the team members, and a more definitive design for my mind’s eye of a little custom packmate, based on his player’s descriptions.
✨▶️Commission Info◀️✨ // ☕️Ko-fi☕️
Minutiae about the characters and respective credits to their creators under the break:
From left to right in the Height Chart:
Yolotli Delacroix, catfolk-orc barbarian, merrily telling a story where she dispensed deserved ass-kicking.
Lucifurr Aucoin, catfolk druid, napping without a worry atop a very patient worg.
Remirin Gateau, catfolk wizard and artificer (in role, though not in class); de facto leader figure of the group and thus always concerned for their well-being.
Viridian, human rogue and conjurer with some alchemist skills, and responsible for all those mad-scientist looking Luminous Water lanterns.
Adaed Ralineer, elf bard and secondary character for Rem’s player, lending ambience to the quiet night.
Emmerlyn Alnwick, half-elf cleric and plague doctor as her background; taking care of her leeches and happily greeting a certain packmate.
and Gloom, former slime humanoid born in the Dungeon turned elf swordsage, attempting to reassure Rem there’s nothing to worry about just this time.
Also in the campfire pic: Lucifurr’s animal companion, the parakeet Skitles; Gloom’s familiar, Pitch the crow; Rem’s Worg familiar, Welmund, and Rem’s constructs, Kirikiri, tiny expeditious messenger, and Helran, scorpion-shaped packmate.
I should also mention that the “Real size” label in Helran’s chr sheet is a legacy / minor misunderstanding. Per a RP paragraph, he was described as at “mid-thigh height”, but the DM cleared not long after I finished this that he’s smaller, as seen in the Campfire artwork.
Credit to my teammates who do have a Tumblr account:
Yolotli and her design belongs to @xyliaxart
Viridian belongs to yours truly
Emmerlyn and her design belongs to @azure-23
Gloom and their design belongs to @acutelyrelated
And Zerrich, Welmund's overall idea, and the whole Homebrew campaign's plot & concept that enables our characters to commit all kinds of awesome, wacky hijinks belong to @gunpuku-no-bosco 🎲 although Welmund is played and further characterized by the same player as Rem. Said player, though, can be credited with the pointers for Helran's cool-ass design ✨
A little side-comic involving two of our DnD chrs from my group!
Remirin, the catfolk above, is usually the party’s Only Sane Man, especially so towards my big Dork that is Viridian.
I don’t normally do requests but I had to draw this shitposty blurb by our DM, in which Viri can always rely on modern solutions for modern problems 🗡️🤓
🎲 Rough sketches meant as playing tokens for my D&D group! I’ve been drawing them leisurely as warmup for other works or whenever I got clear descriptions of their designs to work with. Or when new additions happened. ✨ In order of appearance:
Viridian the “wannabe rogue”, blacksmith+dagger thrower turned newbie alchemist
Trosalor the Elf Rogue
Remirin Gateau, catfolk chef turning into wizard & artificer
Aliburn (RIP), tailor and Barrier Mage
Emsh (RIP 😢), Myconid Necromancer
Gloom, friendly Slime and Shadow Knight
Lucifurr, jeweler and Healer mage
Zerrich, sapient sword found in the Dungeon
And some of Emsh’s friends! (RIP... once again)
✨ Same blurbs but in a more flowery format ✨
Credit to my teammates who do have a Tumblr account:
Viridian belongs to yours truly
Trosalor’s design belongs to @sashi-sketchbook
Emsh’s design belongs to @xyliaxart
Gloom’s design belongs to @acutelyrelated
And by virtue of being our DM, one could say Zerrich and Welmund’s idea belong to @gunpuku-no-bosco 🎲 although Welmund is usually played by the same player as Remirin
Only time will tell if I also art more of our NPCs, threats and character design changes (mostly from... exploring sessions gone awry ⚔️)
Profile pic commission for @gunpuku-no-bosco ! ✨ A follow-up of previous ones, now a Halloween skin with spooky eye shading! 🎃🦇💀
Public version with signature posted post-season, but we know Halloween never quite ends until the first of December :B
Sketch commission for @eggbapy, for a Discord rp partner of theirs! She’s Joanna, their fanchild of Jouta Kujo ✨ and a nice excuse opportunity for me to use some solid dark shadings for a change 😎✨
✨▶️Commission Info◀️✨ // ☕️Ko-fi☕️
Color sketch commission for @plasticdancer and her RP partner @strangerbarbie of the characters Shiroi and Vanessa from WarioWare series! ✨ The former character being a charming hc version of the RPer. They’re in the middle of an adorable date with cake and tea to boot 💕🍰🍵
I should try to draw cute looking food more often...
A fun sketch commission for @plasticdancer for her RP partner @club-sugar ! Jimmy T. and his (ex) girlfriend, as per The RPer’s headcanon version, from Wario Ware series, showing off their moves ✨ 🕺 Added a little feline guest star since I loved the kitties in ref pics I found 😊
A particularly fun sketch commission for @ooparts, for her RP partners @cantusanguis and @catncore , involving dear TWEWY peeps being too done with Joshua’s antics x) ✨
No memes were harmed during the production of this sketch. I cannot say the same about that photo/painting frame...
A second part of my commissions with the same friend & client from these pieces, and there are more yet to go!
A full body flat-color piece (plus a second version with the same character wearing a hood/cloak) as well as expression sketches, adding a waist-length one. It was hard to highlight a favorite out of all the sketches! I beg y’all to zoom and look at those eyes if your bandwidth allows it, for they were real fun to figure out ✨
You are going to have a great day/evening today. Any attempt to change that will prove to be futile.
Eyy Anon! Sorry the late. Yesterday was a bit of a busy day and I kinda sorta wanted to wait to reply to this until I took hold of decent internet™, so this message wouldn’t be devoured by the abyss when I posted it……but you were right! I got to spend time with my boyfriend, finish Crash Bandicoot: Warped (not a big ordeal but still fun!), got treated to some cake and cupcakes at a local cake shop, and ironed out the final details of a fun commission, so you weren’t exactly wrong!✨
(Shoutout to my boyfriend for this adorable and super comfy ying yang / taijitu cats sweater, I was finally able to get it this week so I guess it also counts! ✨)
