I think you already knew… Ocarina of Time fanart, I was thinking of making Link physically different from the Kokiri even as a kid and this is what I came up with. I’d like the kokiri to have a kind of wood carving edge to their features?? Make them look like dolls idk

"Tender heart, you can't change anything if you are not ready to sacrifice something... and sometimes, your tender heart is what you need to sacrifice" ... Personal artwork I drew for my birthday… a year ago. I don't want to draw anything this time, so why not to post this one instead?

Stylized digital illustration of a young fantasy feline (my original character), which holds its bleeding prey, a musk-deer-like creature. The background has two sides: the left one with a red moon and abstract bloody flows, and the right one with a blue moon in a dark sky, surrounded by several stars. The feline stands between two sides, looking sad.

The initial inspiration for Symmetry Silkmoth (and her whole vibe) in The Mermaid Mask was Jan Švankmajer's 1971 stop-frame film Jabberwocky, one of my personal favourite things ever

a little look at how we write the script for The Mermaid Mask - I write the script directly into the Unity editor, including the voice directions. Then that gets automatically exported into a document for the actors to read. Then, once we have the audio, we import it back into the dialogue system

all the sentence-puzzle icons I had to draw for Tangle Tower, and then again for The Mermaid Mask. There's an obvious scope difference, but it's also interesting to compare the colours and vibes - Tangle Tower is all punchy fruit/flowers/gems/etc, Mermaid Mask is quite murky and slimy in comparison

Drawings of two characters from "The Mermaid Mask", Symmetry Silkmoth and Sinthia Seafoam. Symmetry is thinking about something while gesturing around the room, and Sinthia is listening intently in a one-leg up "captain" pose.

One of the most rewarding art challenges we took on in The Mermaid Mask was to make all the clues fully 3D. @catherineunger.bsky.social would paint the 2D image as always, and then @kindradantone.bsky.social modelled and painted a 3D model to match it exactly - and the results were quite incredible-

Lastly, a bit of tech art from @sfbtom.bsky.social - Catherine's art has a coloured outline - not immediately possible with 3D, but Tom made a shader that adds it dynamically - taking the colour it's closest to and producing a darker version of it, and then pinching and warping it to look painterly

i think i legit finished this design back in july but got so caught up in other stuff i forgot to actually Make It A Ref. but now it is YAYYY #art #oc

a reference image for an original character named puvezhi romesh, a thin dark-skinned woman with vitiligo patches below her eyes, dark medium-length hair, and buck teeth. she is wearing a short white, black, and pink-paneled mod dress with matching boots, and gloves. next to her are blurbs stating that she uses she/her, that she is 22, that she is supposedly straight, and the following: "head of hr and the newest recruit on the space station sappho after the last one quit. sunny and outgoing, though a bit condescending in the advice she doles out. proud of herself for being a "much-needed" breath of fresh, youthful air on the station. feels really normal about being stuck in close quarters with a bunch of women for potentially years. she doesn't think about it that much, she swears!"

ghost of eris past and ghost of eris present ...... very funny how little xe's changed over the past 7 years. just kinda shaved her head and got a more coherent fashion sense #art #oc

a drawing of two designs of an original character named eris, a scrawny pale-skinned demon with bright red hair, blank white eyes, sharp yellow teeth, and a drippy teal tongue. on the left is her old design, where she has her hair up in a ponytail with some rainbow streaks in it and is wearing a colorful outfit consisting of a crop top, a tutu, and combat boots. on the right is her current design, where she has short buzzed hair and is wearing a teal, red, and black outfit consisting of a ripped vest over a tube top, baggy jeans, and combat boots. the two are hugging eachother in poses mirroring one another.
