Wahoo!! Art Fight is less than two days away! (find me as "Toyoll" there, too!)
While I doubt any but the bravest fellas will tackle this detailed dame for Art Fight, I figured I'd take the opportunity to create a sheet for my GW2 main, Kyne!
More details about her under the cut! vvv
Kyne Marrowtaster, Marrow Warband
Rank: Centurion
Legion: Blood
Age: 51
Sex: F
Centurion Marrowtaster is an admirable soldier with many commendations. This grizzled veteran cut her teeth in the Fields of Ruin during the Ebonhawke sieges where she garnered a fearsome reputation amongst the humans posted there.
A talented combatant, Kyne and the units she leads are highly trained infantry soldiers, using brute force and solid shield formations to advance the lines and defend the ranks behind them. The trust and discipline needed to hold these lines are earned through Kyne’s unwavering loyalty to the troops and to the greater interests of the Blood Legion. She is always fair with the soldiers under her charge, knowing when to crack the whip and when to let things slide.
While aloof and taciturn to most, she is quite compassionate in general. She had to feed herself and her young warband early in her childhood and that has evolved into food being her particular love-language to those she cares about. This is what has earned her the name "taster" and how her bandmates agreed on being called the "Marrow" warband when they graduated.
Kyne's adventures in Tyria have mellowed her attitude a little over the last decade, though she remains a ferocious combatant with little patience for disloyalty or chaos. Ever dedicated to her legion, she is always quick to return home at any opportunity and abhors being pulled away for the usual world-shifting shenanigans.
She is burly, gruff and a bit of a brute, between her towering height and broad features, it is no mystery how she often gets mistaken for a male, but her ferocity, skill and heroism have nevertheless garnered her plenty of admirers. She has 5 adult children (one set of twins) by different sires and, while she cares for them, is happy to let them be raised in the Blood Fahrar and allow them to live their independant lives.
The incredible @toyoll did an amazing job on my commission! My FFXIV Hrothgar Warrior of Light, B'ynn Valgyr giving Noraxia a hug! I am weeping and sobbing T^T it came out so SO GOOD.
Hey there! I do so dislike dropping a line out of the blue like this, but I have only one question, though I'm certain I am not the first to ask! My friends and I absolutely adore your redesigns for the BNHA ladies and we were hoping we could use the Momo for our cosplay group. We will be entering the group into the Halcon competition and will be bringing them to AnimeNorth as well. If you require some quality assurance, I would be glad to link to some of our past prize-winning groups! ~Cheers!
OH YEAH OH YEAH!!!! I’m so flattered and I don’t mind at all!
The only thing I ask is: if you post them online, please credit me!
Also, if you can..... please tag me in the picture or send a link over to me because I’d SUPER love to see it!
Grimshire is out now in Early Access!! [HERE] I am extremely grateful and immensely proud to share that I was the character portrait artist for the game (I drew the faces you see during character dialogue)! I'll be celebrating by posting more fan art and fan trades for this game I'm already completely addicted to!~

PLEASE check out this game and wishlist it on Steam. It's a farm sim, but it does a number of things differently. It's a truly challenging game where the farm is intrinsic to the story and doesn't become merely a chore to be automated and forgotten. It also doesn't devolve into "Become an overnight zillionare by growing beets". A plague is ravaging the countryside and has cut you off from trade, your role as a farmer here matters. If you do not grow and raise food, the villagers will starve. If you do not preserve your food, it will spoil. If you do not balance the needs of herbivores and carnivores.....well, I'd honestly rather not find out.
A simplified character sheet of my character, Daisy (named after the rabbit in Doom) for Art Fight!
Find my profile HERE !
-----
Daisy Bell
She/Her
Age: 30-something
Species: Cottontail
Appearance: Shortish with a solid/stocky build from the physical nature of her work both in the capital and her new home in Grimshire.
She is a rabbit with a wild-type coat and dark eyes.
She's friendly, but quiet, not because she's shy, but because she's stolid/reticent. She's absolutely willing to throw down and move mountains for anyone who needs help, but firmly likes to keep her nose OUT of other people's business. To a stranger, she may seem slightly unapproachable.
My current working idea is that she was a florist in the capital before the outbreak, a real no-nonsense shopkeep with gumption in the surprisingly cut-throat world of botanicals. As such, she has a working base knowledge of plants and a stubborn streak, which made stepping up to the role of farmer a simple choice for her.
She is quickly learning that the challenges of farm life, while familiar, are still a whole new game. She is determined to pay back the good people of this little hamlet for rescuing her from the ravages of the capital fire and were so kind as to gift her this little plot of land. It will take her time to learn to lean on her community in a way she'd never had to while living in the city.
While Daisy didn't have an especially wide circle of friends, she misses her shop and her regulars, she misses visiting the markets early in the mornings and hearing the stories of travelers and merchants. Her shop was small, but she had built it up completely from scratch and she mourns the loss of The Little Daisy Florists.
However! She's working on rebuilding her lost collection of teacups and quietly enjoys creative pursuits. I like the idea that folks mischaracterize her as serious, ruff-n-gruff farmer, but she's very much a softie at heart and wishes more people would stop by for a cuppa as a city gal who misses the bustle of urban life.
Batface started as a placeholder doodle for my life drawing classes whenever I ran out of time for the faces or just didn't feel like finishing the heads!
I've upgraded her to full OC for the occasion of my first Art Fight, when I realized I don't really have that many OCs lol I mostly joined so I can find some cool characters to draw for folks, so we'll see how it goes!
Find me as "Toyoll" on Art Fight and I might get to draw yer critters!
