Hello!!

So I finally figured I should make a separate blog just for my art, since currently it's scattered through several blogs.

My Instagram: @ minty_soosh My Twitter: @ minty_soosh

All of the reblogs tagged with [my art] are in fact drawn by me and reblogged from my other blogs.

A deserved break for the Inquisitor | Artfight 2026

Time to start sharing my Artfight attacks!!!! This lovely fella is Ra'nehn Lavellan - Dragon Age Inquisition Inquisitor that belongs to thatonegreenleaf on Artfight!! I love the Dragon Age games and seeing their characters filled me with so much nostalgia haha. Not to mention, my Inquisitor is also Lavellan so I just had no choice, but draw them :)

Knowing how hard Inkys work to save the world, I really wanted to give him a moment of peace, quiet, and quality rest haha.

Feel free to check me out on Artfight!! I always revenge >>

The chosen home

Ayy, I'm finally sharing this! This drawing is very important to me for several reasons.

First of all, this found family dinamic is so incredibly important to Tara as a character. Viktor is her precious baby and she's sooner gonna burn the world to a crisp than allow him to suffer more than he has. I wanted to capture the tender protection and reassurance from her side, the tired relief that he's safe. For Viktor - the attachment, the unconditional trust and safety that he's found in her. They've gone through so much together and separately, yet in this moment they're both content.

The personal reason of this work's inportance is the artistic journey that it took me on haha. I really wanted to bring this idea to life for a very long time, but stuck in art block I didn't even know where to start. I started working on this one February, struggled and dropped it for months xdd The idea didn't leave me alone though. After working on other things and mending my relationship with art a bit more, I actually decided to give this another shot and started anew. I took some time to (kind of) study several "Madonna and child" paintings, took some ideas from them and with renewed inspiration actually made some good progress! Working on this piece was actually such a pleasant challenge and actually helped me to enjoy art again! After finishing this, I've been drawing sooooo much more, I actually have a craving to do so again!

I know that it might be nothing too crazy or impressive, but this piece feels like an important part of my art journey. I already know that I'll want to redraw this after a few years to see the progress and perhaps realise my vision even better!

Man, who knew a Curse of Strahd campaign could lead to something so important to me RAAAHH!!! (Of course it did lol)

"After so many years of practice and searching, a day of heartbreak was the one you finally heard my intentions... you were with me. Under the veil of a dream I can finally see you. Mother... is this truly you?"

HEYO! It's been ages since I've posted any art, so it's a bit strange to come back. After a tough battle with art block, I'm finally feeling the desire to draw and find joy in it. I've been working little by little, on my own pace, but lately I've been having lots of fun.

I've been wanting to draw this specific moment of Tara's story ever since I made her. This is one of the key moments from her backstory - after the life and hopes that she knew shattering to pieces, the goddess her family worship has finally made contact. During the day, Hekate has lent her power and thus helped Tara through a pivotal moment of change, to step over the threshold that steered her fate a new direction. During the night, Hekate has finally appeared to her in a dream, acknowledging Tara and offering her power of a warlock.

I had this moment in my brain for so long and I am so glad to see it visualised (even if it's not exactly ideal). Also, I kinda like how this depiction of Hekate came out. I wanted her to appear as a triple bodied shape, veiled in darkness and shadow, so drawing that was an interesting challenge! In my lore / imagining of her, she has so many more shapes and ways to show herself, I might draw more of them at some point!!!!

Artfight drawing #1!!

My first drawing was a nice lil portrait of Reinhold Adler by KingHydrangea on Artfight!!

This is my first drawing after a loooooong time, so even if it looks quite simple, it brought me a fair amount of struggles :") At the same time, of course, it helped me to brush off some of the rust and adjust to drawing once again. Not my best work, but I feel like it was essential to the progress I've made through other drawings :)

Tara Neumond, my precious! 🔮🌛💫

(I drew this months ago, but never shared this on Tumblr so here we go the original blurb too)

She's my latest DnD character for a Curse of Strahd campaign. I love her so much, yall don't understand.

I've had this drawing done for months at this point, but hesitated to share it for multiple reasons. I had a bit of a turbulent relationship with my art and creative process for a while. Long story short, I got burnt out, took a break, tried to get back into creative my doing other things (made a cosplay prop, drew this in a completely different style) and it actually helped me. Then realised that it was social media that lead em to the burn out - just the pressure to post something to at least get any chance at being noticed. It's just so draining. So I just.. yanno.. Didn't post lol. It's been a nice break, but I still want to share stuff every now and then... and it's a bit intimidating to post again. I kind of thought, I want to share some stuff that I have drawn this year before the year ends, so it's a fresh start in a way. So here we go. ALSO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED ABOUT TARA I'M VERY DOWN TO RAMBLE

"I am now a fully fledged dragon, powerful enough to judge the rest of the gods."

I'm glad that I finally finished this haha. I had quite a battle with my motivation, so it feels satisfying to finally recognise that it's done. Also Neuvillette is amazing!!!!! I started playing when he was released and this man has carried me through all of the Genshin content ahahha. He definitely deserved a drawing of his own and while working I thought why not turn it into a very simple animation?

I will post some still frames from this some time later!!

Woah, just realised that people really loved Chords over here >> glad that my lil birdie got some appreciation!!!

Let me introduce you to Nash!! 💚

Nash is a huge, somewhat brash krogorc (alien race), who grew up in a planet with gargantuan hostile flora and fauna, where survival is key. He might come off intense sometimes, but at the table of drinks he'll be laughing and sharing stories of his past adventures in no time. Even more, if you know some big beasties to hunt, Nash will quickly become a good friend and a reliable ally. (He's a ranger from a Spelljammer campaign, that's why the DM allowed me to make up an alien race lore-wise, but I'm using half orc stats x)). Also, doing a kiwi accent for him is incredibly fun xD He's the uncle who has the most engaging, borderline unbelievable stories to share and would sneak you a beer or a some money without your parents knowing. Gosh, you'd be hearing a lot about the ship crew he used to travel with and shit they got up to... especially a badass goliath lady who was their captain. You'd think that they were together given how he talks about her + given that they lived together for over a decade. But he'd just shake his head and laugh in response. What was their relationship? No one knows.

[minty-soosh]

Let me introduce you to Chords!!!💜

Chords is a bit skittish, yet sharp-tongued kenku bard, with a massive collection of songs, insults and bolstering phrases in their memory. Of course, being a kenku bard is hard (plagiarism is a bitch), but where they lack in originality, they compensate in theatrics and special effects. Even if they're nervous being far from home, Chords is eager to learn and help their friend reach her goals. Once a kenku clings to you, you're not getting rid of them anyway.

[minty-soosh]

In all honestly, I never thought that I'd feel represented by a Genshin character haha 💚

Baizhu is my baby girl, I adore him and Changsheng is a queen!!! The best Doctor and the Herblord herself 😌

I needed to express my appreciation for him somehow, so I started sketching him and this just happened. Since I was trying to restrict myself less, practice being looser with my art aaand wished to have a more "natural" look, I decided not to bother making the lines clean. I left the sketch waaayyy messier that I'm used to, but I like it a lot. I need to practice this more often, cause usually I'm obsessing over the smallest and the most unimportant details that no one can even see.

Also, as you can see, I'm mega indecisive haha, so I decided to share all of the versions.

I barely draw Genshin fanart, but when I do it’s when the brainrot goes rampant. Have some past works I did!
