I make Catalyst, a fantasy project set in the world of Eida, where angels die and ink corrodes the bones of a dream yet to end. Call me AP. They/them/he. Hoarder of questionably valuable antiques and lover of creature design. Also FFXIV.

Recovering from some things, so my posting 'schedule' went to hell. Have some unfinished bits and baubles as I get back to normal! #art #ocsky #WIP #conceptart

Bashing my head against a wall working on rough concepting for the earth dragon without just filling him with rocks and stones. Perhaps some more fluffiness and crystals are in order. #oc / #Catalyst / #art / #ocsky / #conceptart / #worldbuilding / #wip

About all I can squeeze out this week with my flare. I watched Dirty Dancing for the first time, so have my WoL in one of the cute dresses that I liked from the movie. #ocsky / #art / #digitalart / #furry / #anthro / #ffxiv / #hrothgar / #wol

It's about time I start chipping away at getting into the lore of one of my main worldbuilding concepts. So, Corrosion! For now, the illness. TW: Trypophobia, ink-related gore, melting people, hair loss, root intestines? #oc / #Catalyst / #art / #ocsky / #conceptart / #worldbuilding / #horror

#oc / #Catalyst / #art / #ocsky / #conceptart / #worldbuilding / #fairy Finished Maggie's full body and roughly ironed out how tavern owls look. Might give them regional differences.

Happy Pride. Couldn't come up with a cozy scribble given real world events. Your life choices aren't part of some conspiracy. Nor do you deserve erasure, to be pushed out from public spaces or worse. Keep living. #pride / #art

Whilst it's too hot to focus on drawing, I figured to share old stuff that I want to redo or scribbled to get ideas out. In order: Goblin, Gnome, Ghali outfit redesign, A Seraph, God of Mourning #oc / #Catalyst / #art / #ocsky / #anthro / #furry / #artsky / #worldbuilding / #creaturedesign

WIP Map. Eida is an artificial landmass, created by Archdragons from the original continent to protect the seal below the world. Some dragons shaped the land in their likeness or their favourite beasts. Others were more reasonable. #mapmaking / #Catalyst / #worldbuilding / #wonderdraft

Worked on some stuff that was easy to chip away at. Fiette's design should be finalised (I can start on her character sheet now!) and shows off some clothes from her culture, plus -some- progress on my fox man, Sho'mu. #oc / #Catalyst / #art / #ocsky / #elf / #anthro / #artsky / #worldbuilding

Still alive, but sick. Normal post soon, hopefully. This is a kitchen urn I made for a culture, but I feel like I can do it better. Redraw pending. Kitchen urns hold the ashes of the dead and are placed on dining tables so their 'spirit' can enjoy the meal too. #worldbuilding / #art / #Catalyst

Here's the new layout- and finally, my sirens! I think holding myself to a standard of a letter -and- lore each week was a lot, so the second page will be for whatever I want instead! To be clear, her chest is eyes. #worldbuilding #fantasy #art #artsky #Catalyst #oc #mermay

I've been fist-fighting my gnome designs in the ring that is CSP (hard to make them not be bland plushies) and am losing, so I gave up and started working on Drusilla's page instead. I may change the position of the feathers, but I'm unsure. #wip / #oc / #Catalyst / #fantasy / #art / #ocsky

Some lower effort headshots of some important Catalyst characters. I'm not quite sure I got the chub on Fiette's neck right, but that just means I need more practice with bigger bodies. She was originally called Fiotte until I... looked up what that meant! #Catalyst #oc #art #elf #anthro

Have a silly meme edit I did for my FFXIV character. Unrelated tidbit about my Catalyst project below. / / I was planning to post my sirens but I've got a consistent clutter issue with my worldbuilding layout that I want to fix. I'll toss WIPs of other fantasy stuff out until then. #ffxiv

Whilst I'm trying to iron out Catalyst lore, I thought I'd share the concept art I made a while back for a different project I'm involved in, Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr! You can find the little bulletin they're in somewhere in the YouTube posts! #conceptart / #art / #modding

No fancy worldbuilding post this week. I've been focused on recovery and the second draft for my world's lore (so I can do more than creatures). Here's my attempt on my pixies! He's missing a bit of pizzazz, I think. #worldbuilding / #art / #sketch / #conceptart / #creaturedesign / #Catalyst

Of the fractured remnants of magic, fire is supposed to be pure, descended from a dead god shaped from molten flesh and starlight. Yet in Vankraeche, fire is guided by the hollow malefactions of daemons. At least, that's what the people would tell you. #oc / #worldbuilding / #art / #Catalyst
An elven woman in a dress and corset wielding a ball of fire, her hair wreathed by a twisted halo that resembles horns.

#worldbuilding / #conceptart / #art / #digitalart / #illustration / #Catalyst / #dryad Here are my dryads. I wanted to loosely keep true to the typical beautiful woman interpretation (despite the fact they aren't technically women) whilst giving them features befitting an unnatural nature beast.
A dryad with a many-eyed stump for a face, a body like a horse and a long tail tipped with sheaths of wheat. Her hair is made of ferns and her chest and leg is full of honeycomb.

#art / #digitalart / #Catalyst / #anthro / #trypophobia I should get my dryad worldbuilding posted sometime tomorrow, once I finish going over the lore. Here's a sneak peek at her as well as a scribble I did in a recent FC art thing.

#oc / #worldbuilding / #art / #digitalart / #illustration / #Catalyst Finally back from the ol' sickness bout. This is Pearlseeker Suunari, briefly mentioned in the lore of my last post. I do plan to have lore accompany her, but that will be in the soon-future once my beta readers are done.
A darker-skinned woman, wielding water in front of a sunset, her hair tied up with a branch of coral to keep it in place. She has fins for ears and an outfit covered in pearls, tassels and colourful patterns.

#worldbuilding / #conceptart / #art / #digitalart / #illustration / #Catalyst Upgraded my layout and I'm certainly paying for it. This guy isn't a traditional kelpie, but I like him. No sketch, as Kalti hasn't encountered this guy. I'll elaborate on the mentioned rebellion a little next time.

#worldbuilding / #oc / #art / #digitalart / #illustration / #Catalyst This is Archdragon Nhuie (Noo-e), who governs over Cryos (Ice). He lives atop the highest mountain in his icy homeland and those who go up without a protective talisman will fall into a deep slumber, never to wake.

Here are my harpies, based on sage grouses and velociraptors. I included a page with some (hopefully) more dyslexia-friendly font. I'll try to add them going forward, though I may forget sometimes. #worldbuilding / #art / #digitalart / #conceptart / #illustration / #harpy / #Catalyst
A harpy, coloured in orange, green, yellow and white, that looks like a velociraptor. It has a green chest. Next to the harpy is a picture of a slightly-monstrous woman holding an all-white baby harpy on her arm.

#worldbuilding / #art / #digitalart / #cipher / #cuneiform / #Catalyst Sick this week, regular posting is delayed. Instead, here is my 'Ancient Language', based on cuneiforms! I'm not much of a conlanger, so Catalyst's languages are all ciphers. This one was used by the lost Shiath civilisation.
Cuneiform-like letters on a paper background, inked in brown, surrounded by a border reminiscent of pie crust.

The running yaga huts of the Roadrunner Coven are considered the highest form of folk magic. Often made of rammed earth, there are many variants, but they will usually contain at least one rounded surface for aerodynamics and a bird or dragon motif. #worldbuilding #dnd #ttrpg #oc #ocsky #art
