Artist! Quote with your art with an insanely strong silhouette! Humm this kinda works! Blood god rising from her imprisonment, book 1 #SongOfTheDevilstorm!
Concept art piece. A large orb of blood hovers above the dias in the center of a ruined circular room. Broken stone tablets and iron chains litter the ground around the dias. The room is lit by a couple of wall mounted torches crafted in the shape of some horned horror. The blood orb radiates a dim red light, and the spiked humanoid form of the blood god is barely visible inside.

If you see this, post a sword! ⚔️🐉 #Dracthyr #WoWFanart #GW2fanart #gw2 #guildwars2fanart
Mashup fanart of my World of Warcraft Dracthyr character along with many elements of Guild Wars 2. My Dracthyr is in dragon form, wielding the GW2's Timekeeper greatsword in one hand, WoW's Obsidian Edged Blade in the other. Legendary blacksmith's belt around his waist with a Horde flag attached. GW2 golden dragon queen cosmetic attached to the wings. GW2 jeweled headpiece and fire horn cosmetic on the head. Character is in the Auric Basic in GW2, standing on a fallen Anduin face-down in the grass, with other fallen Alliance soldiers and broken siege equipment in the background. Dracthyr is flanked by two dragons: Aurene from GW2, and my WoW Netherdrake from Burning Crusade expansion. The Horde's airship Orgrim's Hammer floats above the battlefield.

Thank you so much for hosting an art share! I love seeing the talent and inspiration from these!! I'm workin on a decades long story project I've been trying to get further along with, writing and doing concept art as well #SongOfTheDevilstorm. Also fun with fanarts and random stuff on the side heh

She is a large green dragon standing several human lenghts tall, and has a large green crystal floating above her claws. Thicker brown plates run from her forehead down her tail that also supports a large retractable fin like sail that stands a few feed above each plate. She is an envoy of the Dragon Nation to the city of Alabandrin.Side comic relating to the game Palworld. This represents my first time finding an Alpha pal. Frame 1, character meets the glowing Cattiva Alpha and says how cute it is. Frame 2, 'boops' the Cattiva with a pal sphere in an attempt to capture it saying "I must have you". Frame 3, the attempt fails and the Cattiva is shocked, then angry, saying "You are already dead" - a throwback to a meme that went around some time ago. Frame 4, character is shocked and frightened, holding up an arm in defense and commenting about a strange power charging up. Frame 5, character is disintegrated by Solar Blast in a reference to the movie Terminator 1.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

The city of Alabandrin was designed to be a central hub, not only for gathering nations together, but to celebrate it all as well. Rings of the city are devoted to the various cultural aspects of other species. Administration is held by major reps of other nations. A true melting pot.

#Septopolis This is a major plot point early in my second book: survivors of a mountain village emigrate to the region capital. Very welcoming and sympathetic. The refugees are given enough to start, and then they integrate and serve where their skills are best. This is one of its main goals too.

Dezmodian @dezmodian.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
#SeptemberWorldbuilders One of the best dark places in mine is under the city of Alabandrin: lazy river floats under the city, open to the public, often a romantic place for young couples to ride slow boats through gentle currents and dimly lit tunnel snaking counter-clockwise top to bottom.
This is a general map for the city of Alabandrin, primary area in at least the first two books of my Song of the Devilstorm series. It sits in a valley between two mountain chains. It is constructed as a circle amphitheater with a 3% grade down to the center, which is raised 150 feet. In each cardinal direction, a highway stretches out from the central raised area to the edges of the city. Each of the 25 rings of roads are 200 feet across. There is a lazy river under the city, fed by surrounding rivers, which is publically accessible for entertainment and romantic events. East region outside the city is a large lake with access to the ocean. There is a tunnel under the southeast mountain range that allows for boat travel to the ocean, guarded by one of the six castles at each entrance. Roads extend out from all four main exits of the city, but the eastern road is a bridge that extends over the lake to the nearest landmass off of this map. Updated with colored zoning areas within the city.

For references on the colors, found a great piece of overcooked BBQ that looks quite convincing. Going to give a fair effort and doing detailed work on that aspect. Always a huge fan of lava, but it'll be the distant walls of flame that will probably be the most challenging ><

Work In Progress: Original (right) done in colored sharpies during high school last century. Angry hellspawn standing on a flaming mountain of bodies. Working on trying to make the fire more believable heh. Five colors to the flames, goin to blend em, then add overglow tests. #demonart
WORK IN PROGRESS. Black hellspawn standing on a pile of burning and bloodied corpses, great axe covered in gore in one hand, blue magical flames in the other. Form is all black and featureless, eyes red and staring at you.Old traditional art done in high school, late 1990's with colored sharpies. Black hellspawn standing on a pile of burning and bloodied corpses, great axe covered in gore in one hand, blue magical flames in the other. Form is all black and featureless, eyes red and staring at you. Background is a flaming hellscape of a rocky region with walls of fire reaching higher than mountains, rivers of lava flowing behind. A funnel of flames and lightening crashes against the rock in a great explosion.

#SongsOfSeptember Ohh a great question. I usually have a playlist goin for ambient background. Usually dark! My first book's main character is a blood god who's realizing she made some mistakes. There are lots of great ones, but #1 fits so well for her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC36...

#SeptemberWOrldbuilders I missed this one, but had to add haha! My blood god Arsolvet, MC in book 1, did recreate a food source for a tribe of Daggerspine (big hyena-like quadrupeds with large dorsal spines off vertebrae) to help stabilize them. When the tentacles are red, detach and eat ;) lol
Snail like creature with support tendrils anchored to the cavern wall. There is an attached bowl like structure on one side with blood in it. Front side of the creature is a mass of red and purple tentacles. Function of this creature is to feed populations with its detachable tentacles. When they turn red, they are ready to be pulled off and consumed (most prefer to cook first). They will regenerate like lizard tails with additional blood donations in the basin. Original versions had elongated fangs and grappling claws that were meant for attaching to Arsolvet's great warbeasts skeletal structure and carried into warzones as mobile food sources. Those versions would leech material from the warbeasts digestive tract, which was usually filled with the dead and dying from the battlefield, from all sides.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders I haven't yet, but the main city in a couple of my books is sitting on a massive dock to lakes that empty into oceans, one large cargo tunnel connects two lakes under a mountain. But I did draw a Mer-May thing with one of my main demons from book two #SongOfTheDevilstorm
This is a general map for the city of Alabandrin, primary area in at least the first two books of my Song of the Devilstorm series. It sits in a valley between two mountain chains. It is constructed as a circle amphitheater with a 3% grade down to the center, which is raised 150 feet.

Roads extend out from all four main exits of the city, but the eastern road is a bridge that extends over the lake to the nearest landmass off of this map. Updated with colored zoning areas within the city.This is my demon OC with a concept twist in honor of Mer-May, my first entry into this particular event. My demon OC messes with a water temple during May, their month of power, gets caught and is punished by being transformed into a Merfolk of the Orca flavor. This red demon has half of their body magically modified into the black and white body of a male orca (tall thin fin) with a few elements that still marks him as a demon. The scene is in a clear blue ocean near the surface, sunlight streaming down into the darker water.

#Septopolis Ahh, depends on the situation, but mostly it'd be whatever is useful and durable for the day. Medieval-ish, so 'extravagant' is muted by lower general wealth and materials. I need to do more, but here are some character refs from my #SongOfTheDevilstorm
Character reference for P'traltis, love interest of the Song of the Devilstorm's main character in book 2. She is an Ascenris, centaur type creature based on a panther instead of a horse. Minimized feline features in torso and head, though still has a short snout, fangs, ears, and toe beans on all six limbs. Hands are humanoid/cat hybrid, four mobility limbs are more aligned with true panthers. She has flowing red hair against her coal black fur, which also has a skin pattern akin to panthers that can be seen with infrared light. Brilliant amber eyes with flecks of blue/teal. The quad reference shows her in different clothing, from formal dress, cargo setup, casual work, and full plate armor.Character reference for Arsolvet the blood god in her true physical form, along with three variations of her favorite human form. Her true form stands around nine feet tall. Horned head, four glowing eyes, lip-less mouth of sharp teeth. Her skin is semi-transparent red that appears to move and flow like a pool of thick blood. On her neck, back and shoulders down to her ribs, as well as forearm and foreleg are dark red growths with spikes. Her human form is a red-headed woman standing around five foot eight, green eyes, sun-bronzed skin coloration. The three forms are nude reference, leather travel armor, and formal white dress.Brown eyed human standing in plain clothes with an ominous shadow resembling his true form. Father to the main character in book 2. Survived a brutal attack on their caravan over the mountains, saved by a mixed town of farmers. The farmers adopted him and his wife, who soon gave birth to the main character.Mother to the main character in book 2, and quite a loving and absolutely normal human! Survived a brutal attack on her caravan over the mountains, saved by a mixed town of farmers, and raised her son. She stands in a respectful pose with a dark blue work dress, brown boots and bracers. Red-orange hair with a ponytail over her right shoulder. Her blue eyes are very kind. Her shadow stretches off into the background as a sinister and massive non-descript demonic form with several glowing eyes.
