Where the Kobold Sails

I draw things... IRL I'm a scientist, online I'm a kobold on a pirate ship. Iove cats and a lot of nerdy things like fabulous non-binary elves... (yes that's my fav OC) I'm mostly active and shitposting on Twitter (@SailingKobold) and I'm also on instagram (@thesailingkobold).

Just wanted to draw something sweet... from left ro right: Reif, Arell, Lulu🎶 Cat's name is Mephisto (chosen by Arell because "mephisto felis" is a great name for a cat). Reif and Lulu🎶 are both Arell's boyfriends because he's such a NEEDY elf that 1 bf is not enough, and they're both pretty reasonable guys that are fine with open relationships so they agreed to "share". (This didn't happen at all in our game, but since we can't play because fkn PANDEMIC, I'm imagining how things could go) #digitalartwork #digitalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcontentartist #originalcontent #originalart https://www.instagram.com/p/COK9OKMptVn/?igshid=17qzlvvrlkwp5

A #shortcomics about one of Arell's childhood memories... He was an orphan growing on the streets of a small impoverished community far away on the far edge of the galaxy. Though he didn't suffer from hunger, this wasn't a very pleasant of fun existence. He still managed to get a few peaceful moments, that he now remembers fondly. I spent a lot of time on this #comic but I'm quite proud of it. Shoutout to my friend John Night for helping me design the juice bottle :D #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcontentartist #originalcontent #digitalart #digitalartist #digitaldrawing #digitalartwork #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasyartwork #scifi https://www.instagram.com/p/CN54bybppaQ/?igshid=uafshsb7j6ml

Am I messing with my DM's plot and my friend's character? ... Absolutely. 👀 At least they now know that this kind of plot won't happen with me 😂 (It's a lie, if this happened I would be veeery wary but would play along because I don't really enjoy ruining games. :p) #ttrpgs #ttrpg #fantasy #fantasyart #digitalart #digitalartist #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalart #shortcomics #criticalsuccess https://www.instagram.com/p/CNz4gE7ppvX/?igshid=g4wwexr3t7bf

(Cropped because instagram format...) 'Nother dude from our party, Nonim Rana the battlemage who, sometimes, forgets how to mage. He once blew up all of Los Angeles when the party was stuck in a time loop, but the city is fine now. Mostly. Also he's a vampire now. #playercharacter #originalcharacter #ttrpgs #ttrpg #digitalartist #digitalart #artistofinstagram #artofinstagram #fantasy #scifi #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CGcxZVyJoyB/?igshid=1ow08va3j4uj5

'Nother #ocarcmeme with my shiny boi Arell. This time I got a good idea of what would happen to him... Corruption would happen after the death of a loved one, either one of his 2 boyfriends. Arell would completely give in to his anger and get back to his space-pirate life, committing violent war crimes and losing an arm at some point. Until his surviving boyfriend gets to him and shakes him hard enough for Arell to understand that this is not a good way to grieve, that he still has ppl that love him. He would then leave his outlaw life, change identity and find a new, peaceful place to live closer to nature, raising some chickens with his bf and learning how live with his very intense emotions without destroying himself... #originalcharacter #digitalart #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #artofinstagram #ttrpg #scifi #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasyartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVEOm7i879/?igshid=su95h333sgjd

#ocarcmeme with my sweet boi Davian, an #aasimar celestial #warlock #dnd #dnd5e He's very shy and kind, so imagining someone as good-natured as him getting all corrupted is quite heartbreaking. This would alter both his powers and his very own nature. I sure hope it won't happen :D His redemption would restore his bound to his gods and as a gift he would get some shiny, colorful scales similar to his patron's. #originalcharacter #digitalart #artistofinstagram #artofinstagram #fantasy #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRwk_0iXtd/?igshid=8ounype39sjn

Gathered the strenght to finish these three. They'll be printed on cards and gifted to a friend on friday after her phD defense, along with a nice pile of money. The cards will be her "clues" in order to find what this cash is intended for... Guest stars are her dog Valka, cats Napoleon (the stupid one) and Opera (the less stupid one) and the glorious Mistress of Death herself, Liliana Vess. #fanart #mtg #magicthegathering #lilianavess #digitalart #artistofinstagram #artofinstagram #cats #dog https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5GBhZC7M9/?igshid=9ed3hkygj4vd

Finished this on #valentinesday2020 but didn't post it right away as I was tired and just went to bed. I spent a lot of time on this one, especially the peacock's feathers... huuuhhhhhh. But I'm quite happy with this one! Once again that's my fabulously queer #OC Arell, in all his colorfull glory! I decided to add the "decidedly male" as a jab at some very bad writing in the Magic: the Gathering story... I considered removing it because not that much people would understand the joke. And then I left it because it's quite fitting with Arell, even if it's a 100% tongue-in-cheek statement. :D #originalcharacter #digitalart #art #artofinstagram #artistofinstagram #playercharacter #elf #ttrpg #rpg #fantasy #fantasyart #instaart #instaartist #fabulous https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mu0M7Ci7-/?igshid=18awkfo3opck4

I love drawing faces and that's one of the things I draw the most because I want to really capture the expressions and be able to draw diverse faces... I knoooowwww I should also learn more abt, I dunno, anatomy or background or whatever BUT DRAWING MOODBOARDS IS FUNNIER? Anyway, a moodboard of my OC Davian, that I did back in february. The moodboard, not Davian. He's a gentle, sweet young man aspiring to be a great astronomer one day. His face / body markings were given to him by an unknow deity, alongside some cool magical powers, as a token of affection and a reminder to live for himself, not the others... #originalcharacter #dnd #digitalart #digitalartist #artistofinstagram #dd5 #moodboard #aasimar #warlock #fantasy #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDixzydipv7/?igshid=17bey1acsm969

Aaah finally finished the #sixoutfitschallenge with Arell! It was really fun and I like how many of those turned out (except the Disco one but I can NOT stand this style, it's just..... Huh. I hate it.) The monokini was probably the one that made me laugh the most (obviously) and I'm actually amazed at Arell's ability to both wear dresses or plate armor ??? Anyway. I had lotta fun. #sixoutfits #6outfitschallenge #6outfits #originalcharacter #elf #fantasy #gameofthrones #softgoth #digitalart #artistofinstagram #digitalartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CALHzdRIZLJ/?igshid=1xrg5ph6v92rd

Did the #sixfanartschallenge ! T'was very fun (although I'm really not proud of my Auron..... Still my favorite character from #FinalFantasyX ) Also @allisonline_ loved my Speedwagon so much I redid it in HD just for her!! #jjba #jjbafanart #phantomblood #speedwagon #sixfanarts #digitalart #fanart #pokemon #pokemonswordshield #acnh #conantheadventurer #theloudhouse https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NCj7LKnlx/?igshid=7i4zar8fzev3

Lil fanart of @allisonline_ 's trio of character, from a unreleased project called Apocalypse, Inc. From left to right: Charlie, Meg and Nico. I won't say much about this project (because 1/ it's notine and 2/ it's unreleased), except they're a couple of demon-hunters and their daughter... Through our discussions, and Allison telling me about the relationship between those three, I've come to really, reaaally like them so it was only natural that I did a lil fanart of them. 😍 Done on bristol paper with alcohol ink pens, black felt-tip pen, black and white posca. Hopefully, this drawing will be able to get into the hands of its new owner in October ❤❤❤ #originalcharacter #originalcontent #originalcharacterart #originalcontentartist #traditionalart #traditionalartist #apocalypse2020 #grayscale #drawing #smallartist #artistofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiCW0UiS2o/?igshid=o8622w9hij81
