While everyone else has been playing the new Dragon Age, I've been finally playing My Time At Sandrock; a couple hundred hours in and my builder Gloria finally married Logan!

One of my Stardew Valley OCs, Tira, with the wizard Rasmodius.

I've been hesitant to post my art here since the whole thing about tumblr selling stuff to Midjourney or whatever so I've mostly only posted on mastodon.art, but for whatever reason I feel possessed to post this here.

Hi I'm Kay and I fucking hate drawing skeletons from behind

Context: This is homework for my life drawing class. We were given a printout of a skeleton from front, 3/4, side, and rear view. The first page is 3-minute gesture drawings of each view, then the next two pages are 15 minutes each.

With the power of Blender and Youtube, I made a donut

Hello I am alive. I haven't really drawn much since August due to BG3 brainrot (and this month I've been learning how to mod the game) but this morning my brain decided I wasn't allowed to look at computer screens so I did a little sketch of Shel. She was originally supposed to be like a miniboss for a friend's campaign but it never happened so I ended up making her in BG3.

This is Bastille although my brain keeps wanting to call her Tav, idk maybe I'll call her "Tav Bastille" and she's an outlander, asmodeus tiefling (I might change it to mephistopheles though), and warlock of The Great Old One.

At the moment, I'm thinking that she made the pact when she was a little kid & didn't really know what she was doing & just kinda went on with her life & forgot about it (aside from her weird dreams but she got used to those)... until getting abducted by mindflayers & whatnot.

She worries a lot & is generally pretty nice... which is why no one expects her to be such a great liar.

Sometimes a guy feels like being a girl

(Anubis is usually more masc presenting, but sometimes he likes to shake things up... and sometimes that involves stealing Cadmus's clothes)

Also click to enlarge bc I didn't use any gray; that shading is pure black & white dithering! :3

Another "Heart Mechanism" character, Moyen Foliot. Not much is known about her, but she is VERY protective of her little sister, Clepsydra.

[perseidipity]

Revamping an old steampunk story I made in high school called "Heart Mechanism", so here's the protagonist, Elise Thackerey!

She works as a missing persons investigator & is super detail oriented (her keen eye comes in handy for work, but hinders any attempts at having a social life). At her therapist's recommendation, she started making & collecting fancy keys as a hobby and adopted a cat named Lattice.

The deuteragonist/Elise's love-interest is David Baskerville, who happens to be color blind (tritanopic), so I put the reference sheet through pilestone.com's colorblind simulator to get how David would see her (the left image). I also took the colors from a tritanopia color gradient to play around with, resulting in the image on the right which I like a lot. I really need to play around with different color palettes more,,,,

What if Arias's hoodie was a sleeveless crop top? 🤔

The thing about dithering though is that on a larger canvas, it can look weird :/

Detail shot because I really like how the shading turned out close up :3

99% of my energy today went into that little headshot so this isn't very polished at all,,,,

An Iron Moth series android named IM-437, also known as Ferris.

Like most IM series, their wings can fold into the triangle on their back to take up less space, and are made to be laboratory assistants who observe their given subjects & analyze data. Ferris was a relatively new android & had just received their first assignment when Turo's time machine captured them. The travel back in time corrupted Ferris's short-term memory bank however, leaving them nearly in the same state as when they had first been activated.

A more casual Horologian, and a more human look. They don't like being forced to look human, but sometimes it is necessary.

[perseidipity]

Went and shaded this :3

An alternate design for my sona! The little stars connected by chains are vaguely in the shape of the constellation Horologium (I originally thought of it while working on the default design but having both this and the pocket watch choker would not have worked out, so I moved it to the Starwinder form!)

[perseidipity]

What if I made a sona to use instead of drawing myself haha jk... unless?

I had a lot of trouble figure out what I wanted The Horologian to look like (in part bc I am generally content with how my body looks & enjoy drawing myself).

The first version had more of a starry purple theme going on but it didn't feel like *me*. Then I remembered that I love very simple black/white with an accent color (usually gold) color palettes, and had the pocket watch choker idea.

I'm not typically very chatty in social situations, so removing the mouth felt right, and in place of the halo from the first design I liked the idea of a witch hat where the underside of the brim had a clock dial.

Given how much work I put into the first version I haven't *completely* abandoned it; I've been thinking that The Horologian can shapeshift (given how indecisive I am), so I worked on that a little bit & am calling that version the "Starwinder Form" (yes the name was inspired by the webtoon Soulwinder, I just thought it was appropriate since that design has a more starry theme). I've got a post with that design scheduled to post later today.

Maybe one day when I set up my desktop computer, I'll download Blender & try to make The Horologian in there so I can be a Vtuber lol

A lil Arias drawing because I've been missing her lately & decided to toss her into the Paradoxverse

[perseidipity]

After seeing multiple other Q wearing Starfleet uniforms, Q feels a little left out and makes her own. As usual though, she has to make it her own style

Also, I decided to give them a name: Qadria. They only use it for the sake of not confusing mortal beings; surprising, since they're typically apathetic to what mortals think (or perhaps she cares more about others' opinions of her than she lets on...)
