Chapter 3 was when I started to understand how to draw Joy.
Sweaty Joy appreciation post, I guess.

Joy stands tall
Joy runs from a lizard. She's goofy.
Joy ready to fight.

Hi Mastodon art community! I'm Anya and I draw fantasy and sci-fi illustrations. I love bright colors and spend too much time on details! Excited to find new artists to follow!

# # # #
"Star Collector". <br />A person is riding a horse holding a crystal in their hands. They wear a curved purple hat with golden decorations on the hat. They wear a purple cape with some sun and crescent-themed jewels. The horse is dusty-pink and wears a decorated armor. Patterned blankets are hanging from its back. The horse is standing in shallow water. There are some lamps floating on the water and some boats in the background. There are two pink mountains in the background, the sky is lit with stars. There's a decorated arch above the person and the horse.
"The Mage". <br />A colorful illustration with a large frog on the left side with bubbles coming out of its mouth. There's a praying mantis at the center looking at a bubble and the mage on the right side accepting the bubbles from the frog. The background is blue and has two sun-shaped windows.
"Magistrate's Daughter". <br />This illustration is about a father and his daughter. The father is placed in the center of the illustration. Their proportions are exaggerated. They wear a blue-white decorated outfit with some red details. They hug their daughter who is wearing a light pink robe and hugs the feather. There are tiles on the wall and steps and some rug on the floor. There's an arch in the center with a view of mountains. There's a red egg-shaped object on the right with a blue heart inside. Father's beard connects to the heart. There's a pool filled with red water and some lily pads floating above it. There's oriental shorthair cat on the right looking at the extended hand of the father. There's a bow aiming at heart with a shadow hand holding it.
"The Royal Manticore". <br />A scene with a large creature in the center of the image. They are what I imagine a manticore to look in the world where they exist. Their body is covered with long black hair and they walk on four arms. There is a person sitting on the Manticore. There are other people around the creature preparing it for departure. The room has a yellow wall with some murals on it and some bubbles floating above the floor.
 
And the last artwork I finish before the deadline World Building Awards! 😘

It's been really fun to conceptualize different species for After Silence and getting to use them again in different contexts. In this case: my interpretation of a nachtgiger as a very debonair professor.

A portrait of a refined, demon-like figure with pale blue skin and tall, pointed ears. He has short, dark hair styled neatly back, accompanied by a mustache and goatee. His glowing pink eyes contrast with a gold-rimmed monocle perched on one eye. He’s dressed in a Victorian-inspired suit with a purple waistcoat and a gold pendant at the collar. Bat-like wings frame him from behind against a soft teal circular backdrop, reinforcing his elegant yet supernatural appearance.
 
Hallo zusammen!
Ich bin neu hier und wollte mich kurz vorstellen:
Ich bin Cosplayerin und Larperin und verbringe meine Freizeit entsprechend ganz viel mir rumgebastle. Und ein paar meiner Basteleien verkaufe ich auch: Zaubertrankfläschchen, fantastische Dekoartikel und Accessoires.
Genau diese Dinge möchte ich auf diesem Account zeigen. Hier schonmal ein kleiner Einblick.

Sechs Flaschen stehen auf einer Holzoberfläche. Vier der Flaschen sind mit grünen Flüssigkeiten gefüllt und mit Perlen dekoriert. Eine Flasche ist braun und auf dem Deckel ist ein Edelstein angebracht. Eine Flasche ist mit Moos gefüllt und einer Lichterkette beleuchtet. Rechts im Hintergrund steht ein Entzündeter Kerzenleuchter. Im Vordergrund liegen zwei Kristalle und Tannenzapfen.

As soon as she knew, she drove to Bristol, parked any old way in the first street she could, then walked in search of the trees.

As she passed under them, she looked up, waiting for the breeze to grow warmer.

Then she looked around again, smiled, and even though she could not read the signs, easily found her way to her longtime friend's old shop.

Only once every few years can one travel by cherry blossoms--If one is a Witch, that is.

My [OC]Anshrilda the Chronomancer. She originally was just a seer, but then I thought it would be cool to turn her into a time mage. I haven't drawn her for quite a while, but she is one of my favorite ocs :mastolove:

An image of two book covers.<br /><br />The one on the left is the cover of my first book, titled "The Way of the Wielder". A young woman stands facing left, staring at a blue glowing sphere in her palm. Around her are wispy magical elements, and behind her is a misty city. The title is in the middle of the image, and the author's name is along the bottom. Between is a vignette of a fox running through a mountainous landscape.<br /><br />The cover on the right is a temporary cover, all black, with the title and author's name in green text. A red "Coming Soon!" line is in the middle.
 
This is why we write.

A review of BATTLE DRAGON, the last in the DRAGONS OF ESTERNES series.

You can start here: https://taupress.com/rebel-dragon?__src=MD2211

Review text as follows: "I have rarely binge bought and read an entire series, but this is one I definitely powered through in 2 days and have already recommended to friends and family. The characters were distinct, the interactions believable, and the world building was very well done.<br /><br />I appreciated that each of the characters were flawed, and much like real life, they struggle with their flaws. The over-reaching themes were relatable and resonated really well. Honestly I'd love more of these characters but I also loved the way it ended, too.<br /><br />For me, the most rewarding part was the LGBTQ+ representation, which was done in a believable manner, and honestly the conversations about those topics in the book were ones I and my friends have had. It was validating."
 
This was one of my favorite pieces I did of Calcifur during his campaign, even if it has a lot of issues. From 2020, the name in the corner was my Twitter and Ko-Fi handle (no longer, I don't have X and my Ko-Fi is ourocorvus). I remember using a 3D poser, but having to change the feet for hooves made my perspective a little janky. I still like the colors a lot though. 💙

Trying to decide what to toss up tonight before I fall asleep, but I only really have access to my phone files right now, so I grabbed the old doodles from Calcifur's campaign.

Sketch of two characters in a cute style of a short tiefling with the caption "I DON'T WANT TO FORGET" next to a genasi with their hand on his shoulder.
Sketch of a deep crow lowering its face to a crying tiefling.

#: what's the most annoying fandom/hobby argument you've ever been involved with?

if you can, include the fandom, what the argument was about, and what the sides were

(involved doesn't have to mean actively arguing it, as long as you were there in some way, watching it, moderating a board, associated with the fandom, etc, although it's more interesting if it's an argument you were actually engaged in)

Did this short Conan comic to stretch my sequential art muscles. Would love to get some storytelling feedback and critiques from comic people.

# # # # # # # # #
A sketch of a comic page showing two lizard men guarding a temple in a jungle. A man comes running out of the darkness of the jungle with spears in his hands. One spear in the throat of one of the lizard men.
A sketch of a comic page showing Conan the barbarian stabbing a spear into the chest of a lizard man. Inside the temple is an auditorium full of lizard men. At the front of the auditorium is a fat lizard man holding a knife and a bag full of something.
A sketch of a comic page showing the fat lizard man pointing at Conan. Conan is then attacked by a mob of lizard men. Conan throws a trident into the head of the fat lizard man killing him. A large monstrous reptilian art bursts out of the mouth of the dead lizard man.
A sketch of a comic page showing a giant serpent creature coming out of the dead lizard man. The other lizard men flee the temple. Conan leaps into the air and kills the serpent with a bladed weapon. Conan opens the bag and a pug leaps out.
 
I am SUPER broke this month, so I'm looking to take on a new # client.

My wheelhouse includes #, #, #, #, and variations/combinations thereupon. # is my special favorite. No Erotica, please.

If you'd like to discuss a quote for your manuscript, email me a query with a short synopsis, the first 1-3 full pages, and your word count: river@riverjhopkins.com

The next # topic is magical balloon.

This small robot resembles a blood-sucking insect and is designed to collect magic by sucking it out from anywhere. If you wonder why, the answer will be in this week's Peplandia Facts 😀

I made this to test the new ground fog feature when Daz Studio 4.20 was released, completely forgetting I can't do just "a quick test".

„Cosmic Cow“, first # of the new year 🎉

A magic # and it's time-bending #-companion enjoying the night on Harris ^__^

I like # a lot, they're so chill and cool. This was probably inspired by John Maher's night photography of the #:

Vector drawing in dark greens and blues of a night-scene with a highland cow on a small peninsular. The cow's reflection in the water reflects the milky way in the sky above. There's a crow sittig on the cow's back but in the reflection it is somehow in flight.

A portrait of a figure with medium toned skin, white hair, pointed ears, and dark facial hair. There is a shock of black hair in the center of his bangs, and he is surrounded by thick brambles that cast shadows across most of his form. The eye in the shadows is a deep black, whereas the eye framed in the light is a shining golden colour.
A halfbody portrait of a character with 3b textured hair & medium toned skin, with golden EMP treading on his face. Behind him is a pattern of the different card suits, and he is wearing dangly gold spade shaped earrings. His neck features an ornate scarab beetle necklace, and he is dressed in a black shirt with a vintage moon, star and sun golden pattern.
A portrait of a pale, iridescent skinned character with white hair and pale blue eyes, wearing an orange sweater, and a large, thin scar across one eye.

Started this in spring for the 20 years of # (1.3) # # # but then moneywork happened. So what better time to post it now on Inkscape's actual birthday, Nov. 6!

Definitely inspired by # ^__^

I think I like the version without the person better, what do you think?

# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
Vector drawing of a room in the evening. There's a desk placed in front of an open window with a laptop running Inkscape  on it. Outside the window (a black cat on the windowsill) is a fantastic landscape with Godzilla, ghosts, a castle, a dragon, a flying bus, crystals etc.
Full version of the same drawing showing more of the room, on the left there's an original Playstation running Diablo on an old TV. On the right an old-school cassette player/radio and a bedside cupboard. Lots of books, manga and magazines are strewn all over the room.
Another version of the illustration with a person sitting in the chair, eyes closed in thought, flipping a pencil. They have green-blue hair and brown skin, wearing a hoodie and short pants.
 
[OCs]Rallosameer and Xivaillon. They are friends. Rallosameer is a protector of the dimension of dreams and Xivaillon is annoying, I mean, he has different talents.
