Crodlus and Jhakars Some Dark Sun critters #licantaurarts #ocs
A pencil sketch of a Dark Sun scene. A version of Kali is riding on the back of a crodlu, a large bipedal beaked reptile that looks a little like a plucked chicken. A really large chicken. Two spears are strapped to the crodlu's saddle.

A jhakar follows behind, a bulldog-like reptile with a sail on its back, much smaller than the crodlu. The three are set against a simple desert backdrop with silhouetted mesas and a large, tired sun behind them.

The boys are back #ocs #licantaurarts
Five sketches done in color-swirl pencil of ocs Kali and Hero. There is a half-body drawing of the pair talking, of Kali giving Hero a friendly kiss on the cheek, and of Hero examining a tarot card with a contemplative expression. There is a full body drawing of the pair walking, Hero using his cane, and a full body of Kali with a neutral expression, one hand on their hip and a billhook on their belt

Once again puts a face on the faceless character I replayed grand inquisitor again :]
A colored pencil drawing of AFGNCAAP (the irony of which is not lost on the artist) holding Dalboz in his lamp.

AFGNCAAP in this case is not particularly ageless or faceless, has long hair tied in a high ponytail, and is wearing a leather jacket and work boots. They have a sword on one hip, and a bag on the other.

Dalboz is saying, “That was fun! Pointless, but fun.”

A Unicorn Addorsed [6/6] End. #zine #unicorn #licantaurarts
A black-and-white ink drawing with a medieval style frame featuring curling vines two small shields, one in each top corner. One has a small unicorn charge, the other a small dragon charge, facing away from each other. In the middle of the frame is a simplified rendering of a cave, two reptilian eyes glowering from within and smoke curling up out of the dark

A Unicorn Addorsed [5/6] #zine #unicorn #licantaurarts
A black-and-white ink illustration, larger than all previous pages. Now we can see the full creature from the previous page. The unicorn is lying down in a shadowed forest clearing, leaning against the side of a much larger dragon who is also lying in the clearing. Both are looking toward the viewer, assumed to be a hunter, and the dragon is snarling with teeth bared.

Written on a scroll motif laid over the drawing, the text reads:
"A would-be hunter will have to bear this in mind when preparing to hunt a unicorn."

Below, on another fold of the scroll, the text continues in small cursive:
"An excerpt from "Weaver's Tome of Non-Herbal Magical Ingredients," a book that has been stricken from the shelves of the Great Archive, due to its concerning contents in regard to demi-humans."

The dragon and the unicorn are lying facing opposite directions, almost giving the impression of being back-to-back. The heraldic term for two creatures back to back is "Addorsed".

A Unicorn Addorsed [4/6] Fun fact, the curved section in the bottom of the bushes on the second illustration is where I punched out an index tab in the printed zine to show where to unfold it to reveal the interior illustration #zine #unicorn #licantaurarts
A black-and-white ink illustration with multiple panels and decorative bordering. From top to bottom, left to right there is:
-A top border with an illustration of a unicorn being chased by hunting dogs, with a heraldic rose on either side
-The unicorn peeks out from amid shadowed shrubs with a wild and worried expression
-The silhouette of the unicorn is just noticeable in the shadows as we look over their shoulder at two people in medieval clothing standing in a clearing with their backs to the unicorn. One holds a longbow, the other a leashed hound.
-The unicorn runs through the forest, leaping down and landing on their front hooves from a large fallen tree covered in moss across the path
-The unicorn disappears into denser brush, just the hind legs and tail visible
-A bottom border with an illustration of a long, curling, scaled tail emerging from a cave, with a four-leaf clover on either sideA black-and-white ink illustration of a unicorn staring up into a much darker section of brush and trees. A large creature stands there, but is mostly veiled by the shadow, so we can only see a spiny, scaled shoulder and arm, part of a tail, and two large slit-pupiled eyes staring from the dark.

White text in the black near the eyes reads:
"It should be kept in mind that unicorns are quite intelligent and are aware of the fact and reason for their hunting."

Black text in the bushes by the unicorn reads:
"It is not uncommon for a unicorn to form something of a symbiotic relationship with another creature or beast in exchange for their aid in protection."

A Unicorn Addorsed [3/6] #zine #unicorn #licantaurarts
A black-and-white illustration of a unicorn rearing with two arrows buried in their shoulder on a solid black background. The mouth is open wide enough to reveal sharper defensive teeth and the eyes are obscured by the mane, but there is a tear on their cheek. The text box is layered over the middle of the illustration so the illustration forms a frame. The text reads:
“The worth often outweighs the risk of societal taboo.
These uses and the means of harvesting and storage will be chronicled in more detail below…”

A Unicorn Addorsed [2/6] #zine #unicorn #licantaurarts
Black-and-white illustration of a unicorn kneeling with a leafy border. The text reads:
"A unicorn's horn, for example, is a powerful conduit for the channeling or enhancing of magic. They are fantastically strong."Black-and-white illustration of a page lying on a wooden table with a heraldic-style drawing of a unicorn, marked with several notes. The drawing on the page has some areas circled, and others marked by dashed lines that may suggest a cut line. Nearby lies the bloody end of a severed horn. The text reads:
"If ever broken, the horn shards can be ground into horn dust, but a whole, undamaged horn oughtn't be wasted for this purpose.
All manner of parts can be used, from flesh to bone, skin to hair, tendons to teeth. Even the hooves can be used to create an extraordinarily rare arcane glue."

That's a wrap! I even managed to hit the 100 attacks threshold this year! #artfight2026 #teamcomedy #licantaurarts
Five Art Fight Attacks: 
-A young Japanese-American girl in a long-sleeve pink shirt and long dark hair posing with a smug smile, holding her phone with a photo of a cat visible on the screen
-A couple seated in a castle room with a moon in a window, the lady seated on a padded bench in a long gold dress and dark hair in a loose bun. She's holding a wine glass and propping her chin in her palm as she looks at her partner. The gentleman is seated on the floor beside her and smiling up at her, one arm hooked around her leg and also holding a wine glass. He's wearing princely clothes and has long pink hair.
-A raptor lady with peacock-patterned feathers and locs, smiling and waving
-A little celestial goat prince with moon emblems and a long robe with a maroon cloak
-A blue-haired serpentine lady with a hand resting over a false eye, her real eye (disguised as eyebrows when closed) open above the false oneFive Art Fight Attacks:
-A couple in a park in Victorian attire, one sitting on a decorative iron bench and reading an entry on a moth in a book, the other standing nearby with the same moth on her hand
-A lady with her dark hair done in two buns, wearing black and purple clothing and bright gold jewelry, dramatically lit from below
-A white unicorn with some black spotting and golden horn and ornaments, standing amid rose bushes and a marble column statue in a dark garden. She is lit by glittering pink butterflies, and her eyes are obscured by a wreath of thorny roses.
-Two portraits of the same white-haired and red-scaled siren character, one in her 'land form' using forearm crutches and braces, the other in her 'water form' with a long red tail
-A young girl with short dark hair, resting her chin on the backs of her hands and smiling. Her clothes and accessories are all in lesbian flag colors, and she wears a jersey-style tank top with #1 on itFour Art Fight Attacks:
-A butch oc with short dirty blonde hair, glasses, and a brightly patterned shirt layered over a longsleeve black shirt and jeans
-An angler fish fishsona with long white hair, dark shorts and hoodie, red sneakers, and a fish tail, floating on her back. Her smile shows off sharp teeth
-A smiling bird man with a checkered shirt, blue tie and vest, ombre hair, and a trimmed cape. Blue feathers are visible around a dark beak.
-A smiling man with freckles and long rusty red hair tied back with a dark bow, wearing a tie, collared shirt, and sweater vest with a rabbit pin. He's seated in a chair with his cane resting across his knees and holding a teacup. The hand with the cup is missing the pinkie and ring finger

Juniper Padochre, a dashing highwayman with a magic hat and a love of women, money, and horses [ #licantaurarts | #oc | #satyr ]
A character reference sheet for Juniper, a satyr highwayman with a half-elf disguise. There are two full body colored portraits, one without her hat and showing her satyr features including legs, horns, long ears, and yellow goat eyes. The other includes her tricorne hat, providing a half-elf appearance- she also has a bandit’s mask and a rapier. In both she is dressed in masculine 1700s style clothing including coats, breeches, and riding boots. Surrounding the portraits are three uncolored sketches, detailing her horn shape, an additional face covering for robbery, and a note about buttons on the cuff of her breeches.

Serious art by serious artists [ #ocs #licantaurarts ]
Two drawings in thick maroon lines (aside from Lucky’s yellow scales), of Hero and Lucky referencing a meme base. In the first Lucky holds Hero bridal-style as he looks at her chest. In the second it switches to a top down view and he’s snuggled closer to her with the same goofy bug-eyed expression looking in the same direction (you know, respectfully).  The drawings are surrounded by several tiny hearts. The meme reference image drawn in black lines - originally saved from Tumblr but I wasn’t able to track down the op again

The Child and The Night (and some Shadowrun concepts in the corner don’t worry about her) This ended up being a strong start to a new sketchbook [ #sketches #ocs #licantaurarts ]
A page of pencil drawings. The upper right corner has two drawings of a lady’s face with curly hair tied back and the GHS diamonds for toxins and corrosives. The rest of the page feature three drawings of Rowan and Kali from the Kingdom au - the first has Kali in their winged boar form looking down and extending a bird hand to a younger Rowan with long hair.  A caption reads, “A dream from when I was young.” The second has Kali perched on the side of a bridge, shushing a young Rowan. He looks distressed, his hands are folded like a prayer and Kali has their hand on top of his. The last has Kali looking worried, tired and haggard as they hold a crown and look over their shoulder. Rowan, older with his hair cut and wearing his Archdruid robes asks “Pryncet, you called for aid?” as the sun watches the exchange.

Thinking about them… One of my favorite drawings of Hero and Kali honestly #ocs
Two colored illustrations of two elf-like characters hugging. In the first Hero (with red hair) is hugging the head and kissing the cheek of Kali (with brown hair) who is making a lightheartedly annoyed face at him. In the second Kali is hugging Hero so he has to bend to match their height as they both laugh.

Two sketches loosely inked over visible pencil. In the first Hero and Luck are sitting both clothed in autumn clothes including long sleeve tunics and trousers, with Lucky wearing a dagged liripipe hood as well. Hero is leaning his head on her shoulder and holding one of her hands in both of his, studying her scales. In the second Hero is wearing shorter sleeves and is smiling brightly, his fingers laced together and resting his palms on Lucky’s hand which is much larger now, and though her body isn’t visible it implies she is in a full draconic form rather than her humanoid one.

Ah… off to a good start
A character portrait and coat of arms on a hand-drawn play sheet. The portrait is of Kali, their ears still slightly pointed but more more human proportioned to match the game they are being used in. The coat of arms has a per bend sinister division, a black boar’s head in the lower half and a moon and “plate” (a silver circle) in the top half. Since the sketch is black and white, it uses the hatching system to indicate that the top section would be blue if colored.
