i was going somewhere with this. i think?? but leaving it as a sketch for now. maybe later........ || #oc

a fullbody monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, ezekiel, a snowy owl hybrid. he is lying on his back with one hand by his face, fingers splayed, holding the other out to his side, with his head turned to one side and his long hair pooled behind him. he has a restful/content expression on his face and his back is arched slightly, both legs bent at the knees.

hello hello and thank you for the share! my name is elias and i draw bird people 🦚 i think the thing i'm most proud of doing recently is probably branching out a bit in my art with different angles, perspectives, stuff like that! (i have yet to actually post any of it, but just trust me 🏃)

a hips up monochrome digital sketch of the artist's ocs, potovsky and ezekiel. they are embracing and kind of half kissing, half nuzzling, with ezekiel's arms around potovsky's shoulders.

a knees up monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, eliel, a peacock hybrid. he is stood holding a takeaway coffee cup to his mouth. he is wearing a denim jacket and a pair of jeans with rips in the knees. there is a little doodle of a musical note next to his face, and his eyes are coloured in green.

a fullbody monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, flynn, a peacock hybrid. he is sat on a step stool of sorts with one hand resting on his collarbone and the other holding a bunch of flowers (roses and... another unspecified kind), with one foot on the highest rung of the ladder and the other resting on the floor. he is wearing a puffy oversized blouse on his top half and nothing on his bottom half. he has a neutral expression and looks almost doll-like. his eyes are painted in green and blue.

a fullbody monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, ezekiel, a snowy owl hybrid. he is sat (on nothing lol) facing off to one side with his arms folded over his chest and one knee slightly bent, holding his large wings out behind him. there is a little grey doodle of a heart by his face. his eyes are painted in yellow.

i'm opening sketch comms - these start at ✨$15✨ and will go towards getting me back within my overdraft limit and being able to afford my meds (inc. testosterone), travel to psych appointments, food, and upcoming rent. any shares would be MUCH appreciated. thank you 💛 ko-fi.com/hellias/comm...

a knees-up monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, eliel, a peacock hybrid. he is wearing a leather/bomber jacket, a dikhlo, and a t-shirt and jeans, with a pair of round sunglasses propped up on his forehead. he is stood facing right with his arms outstretched, holding a romani flag, which is billowing out behind him. his eyes are painted in green.

i'll start - my name is elias, and i am probably best known for my bird people (and sometimes other hybrids, too). usually smooching. and usually in grey, because colour and i don't get along. i'm working on it ok 🏃 they are also, incidentally, almost all gay as hell. make of that what you will

a fullbody monochrome digital sketch of two of the artist's ocs, ezekiel (left) and potovsky (right). they are stood quite simply next to one another - ezekiel with his weight on one leg and lifting his jumper a little, potovsky with one hand on one hip and the other by his chin. their eyes are coloured in yellow and brown respectively.

i'm a bit late, but thank you very much for the share! it's hard to choose because none of them really stands out to me, and almost none are in colour.. but... maybe this one?? anyway!! i'm elias and i draw lots of birds. 🦉🦚 mostly sketches as mentioned but i do occasionally branch out into colour!

a full colour digital painting of the artist's oc, ezekiel. he is midair with one foot extended out towards the viewer, making the peace sign with one hand and saluting with the other. the background is of an early night/late evening sky, lighter blue at the bottom and darker blue towards the top, with a smattering of stars. there is light coming through the feathers of his wings, and rim lighting around him, probably from the moon.

i'm about to open my sketch comms again! they start at about $20. i don't have a comms post or anything yet but some examples here:

two bust monochrome digital sketches of the artist's ocs, flynn (left) and eliel (right), both peacock hybrids.

flynn is facing right but looking at the viewer. his head wings are half folded, the long feathers from the tips framing his portrait. his long hair is quite messy. he is wearing what looks like a blouse or unbuttoned formal shirt, and his eyes are coloured in green and blue.

eliel is facing left but looking at the viewer. he is wearing a dikhlo around his neck and a leather jacket, with a pair of round sunglasses propped up on his forehead. his eyes are coloured in green.

a bust monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, eliel. he is wearing a leather/denim jacket with some patches sewn on the arms and elbows, a dikhlo, and a t-shirt underneath. he is sat backwards on a chair and is leaning over with one arm slung over the back of it, his other hand held up by his face and one thumb hooked under the dikhlo, pulling it a little away from his neck. his eyes are painted in green.

i have been summoned! thank you for the art share, and the happiest of birthdays to you 💛 i'm elias, i draw birds smooching and being fashionable ('''fashionable,''' sometimes). mostly sketches but i am trying to stop being so afraid of colour!

a set of three monochrome digital sketches of the artist's oc, flynn, a peacock hybrid. he has long hair, long feathers around his neck, and a pair of head wings that are quite large relative to the rest of him, with one especially long feather coming from the ends of each.

sketch #1 - he is smiling, with his arms folded and head wings stretched up and out. next to him is a little doodle of a heart.
sketch #2 - he looks kind of pissed off, with a frown and three little wiggly lines coming from the top of his head. his eyes are painted in green and blue.
sketch #3 - he has a neutral expression, and is hiding a little behind his head wings. his eyes are painted in green and blue.

not me skidding in just before the deadline, nope, nuh uh. firstly congrats on the 450 (now 550!), and secondly thank you for the raffle! your art is always a pleasure to see on my feed! not sure if he counts because he's not a dnd/tabletop character but here's ezekiel. he's a snowy owl hybrid 🦉✨

a fullbody digital painting of the artist's oc, ezekiel. the canvas is almost square and he is soaring through a gap in the clouds, one arm outstretched and saluting with his other hand. the thick clouds around him are a variety of oranges, with lighter cirrus clouds below him and a sea of blue beyond those.

a hips-up monochrome digital sketch of the artist's oc, potovsky. he is wearing a cropped long-sleeved hoodie and some net tights, leaning on something (?) with one elbow with a cigarette in one hand. he looks tired, or at least fed up, with a little puff of air coming from his mouth.
