Forgot to share the proxy that this art was made for! Brainstorm from MTG, to go along with the Lightning Helix one I did a bit ago. I have a few more sketched up but wanted to improve my art skills a bit before giving it another go!

Some quick 5-10 min sketches from yesterday. I didn't get a chance to make any lengthy studies to show, and no animation, will do that Thursday instead! But I had fun just trying to depict a character quickly. Also guest starring @itmeporps.bsky.social's new fossa Duke as the ko-fi weekly reward.

A kofi sketch for @itmeporps.bsky.social for practice day yesterday :3 of their priest Desmond! Getting faster at these which feels nice!

Digital art of an anthro canine wearing priest clothes and praying. His eyes are open and looking up with a sad or remorseful expression. Above him is a copy of his own face, but with red eyes and horns looming over him. His golden eyes shine in the darkness, the only two spots of color are the red eyes and gold eyes with everything else being monochrome black and white.

Some corrections, I am forgetting about local value & just focusing on the value of light and shadow. I like this one more & added a brightness corrected version thats better for mobile hopefully! I need to just make art in mobile friendly aspect ratios either & just work with the negative space...

Ko-fi reward for @itmeporps.bsky.social ! Their #Argemi character Yannick after their injury. Marazians believe that the heart is your soul, blood the substance of the soul. This depicts a ritual of healing, heartbeat therapy, that is meant to bring comfort to the body more than actual healing. 1/

Digital art of three anthropomorphic characters sitting in candlelight. Yannick an anthro raccoon is wounded severely, missing a leg and bandaged all over. An anthro feline is behind him, holding him to her chest. An anthro bird is coming from off screen with a bowl of water, making soft conversation to the feline nurse. There are piles of bedding and pillows around Yannick and the feline nurse who has her back to the wooden headboard. Inside that headboard there is a shelf with fruit, bandags, a wooden box, and alcohol. On top of the headboard are 6 candles ontop of piles of old and new wax melting together.

Commission for @kingwut117.bsky.social ! Thank you for supporting me <3 This is a little backstory for his character from our #Argemi TTRPG game! Radwig went to a Central Doran university where he studied language and "anthro"pology. There he met Temenyoro, who would appear in the campaign to help!

Digital art of an anthro kingsnake (Named Temenyoro) and an anthro rat (named Radwig) standing on a training mat preparing to have a practice duel. They are wearing simple cloth clothes with simple leather shoes, wielding blunted training rapiers. Temenyoro is holding the sword forward towards Radwig, while the point of his rapier is down. A bubble of Temenyoro's face is shown as she smirks while Radwig seems more cautious / guarded.

In the background there are banners with different symbols representing Jol'n, a Doran god, and some having the marks of Jol'n and the goddess Helx.

Results of practice yesterday, just put on the new updated playlist and worked on refs I had while listening and looking over. I've already watched them all before so nice to have the guiding voices while working. Featuring @itmeporps.bsky.social's fursona as a dragon!! Thanks for the ko-fi support

Digital art, using three values, to render a dragon. The dragon has a bony front to its jaw, its looking backwards, and it has a crystal crest at the bottom left on its chest in the shape of a cresent moon. They have fur on their head that flows like hair and two thin horns.

3 value studies of foxes. Top right is looking forward with its mouth open while the bottom left is looking right with its back to the light source.

2 value studies of a jug, strawberry bunch, and a peach.

#Argemi #Loreletter #10 Focusing on the Duernine in West Borterrav and their massive underground fortresses-turned-capital cities. While not a comprehensive history, nor covering all the different holds' designs, it is enough to get a good idea of their purpose for the Duernine.

The Duernine, until the Argemian Age, almost entirely resided in West Borterrav and The Isle of Neyit. This steppe and mountainous environment had many cities, but the capitals of each province was built into the rock itself. In an effort to show support for industry, have a secure fortress in times of need, and facilitate the creation of permanently supported leyline forges, the Duernine Holds were built. At first they behaved like fortresses and palaces for the nobles of the Duernine Empire. The middle class and lower class cities were built around these holds and the rocks excavated to carve a room in the Hold were used as foundation stones for the surrounding city's infrastructure. The Holds during this time were the Depth Hold, Star Hold, Ghost Hold,

These capital structures would be fairly equal in terms of size but would have different accommodations depending on the culture of the region. The Depth Hold was the only one of them to expand its size beyond just a fortress or palace, focusing heavily on mining and industry to expand the wealth of the province. They dug down and deeper into the ground and the excavated areas would be turned into new rooms and great halls. Many of the workers would live in these lower reaches, continuing the mining, but also many people supported the miners with their services and moved down to be closer to them. Small mining towns developed below the main Depth Hold structure, a large plaza, warehouses, and wide halls separated the bottom layers from the original fortress/palace structure.

The Depth Hold wouldn't stay unique for long, as a plague originating from the Sun-Plains would sweep through their lands. Quickly an emergency effort was made to quarantine the hold populations from each other and keep their healthy population safe.

The Star Hold, The Iron Hold, Feather Hold were all destroyed or weakened by the plague that swept through the old empire. The reality of Star Hold's destruction and the fate of its people are still not fully understood. There are very few expeditions to the remote hold and even then they are steeped in superstition. With some saying the Duernine demigod curses and haunts the place. The Iron Hold dwindled before the plague took its toll, its abandonment was hastened by the sickness and paranoia. Finally, the Feather Hold and it's people abandoned the capital and make up a majority of the nomadic population that is resettling the long abandoned outer cities of the holds in the Argemian Age. Though superstition still stops the reclaiming of the hold itself.

Some #Argemi art as practice for the Manticore after her transformation to a daughter of both Va'karya & Ty'isa instead of Ty'isa & the Old Gods of Marazia. One of her titles is 'The Living Shrine' because she can behave like magical shrines during holidays & channel Va'karya. Like every full moon

DIgital art, monochrome in red, of an anthropomorphic Manticore. There is text that reads The Living Shrine - Manticore.

So two salvagers walk into a pitch black wreck…

Two oddly salvagers walk through a dark corridor of a wrecked space station lit only by a desk lamp. One is in a clown hard suit and the other in a more retro style space suit. Behind them is a Goliath, a large mass of hide and flesh which is about to strike from the darkness. The salvagers are unfortunately unaware of its presence

To the side is a lizard plush with the word “KILL” above it and an arrow pointing to it

A new #Argemi creature I have been working on! Inhabiting Borterrav, these grazers occupy mostly grasslands & the Duernine Steppe but can be found all over the continent. They are not to be messed with! Closest earth equivalent would be an American Bison! I do not have a name for them yet.

A colored digital sketch of a hulking beast with a beak, a hard skull cap, and a large feathered frill that is sticking up in a threat display. It is looking at a Doran dragon-morph person, who is holding their hand up scared of the beast trying to threaten them. They are in a forest!

A quick paint over of the most recent incident in yellowstone national park of a man being thrown into the air by a bison but it is painted to be the creature and the Doran from my art.

#Argemi #Loreletter #7 Naming Rituals of Argemi, the important days of which a child is bestowed a name. Some uncomfortable truths of pre-modern medicine, but the people carry on like humans once did as well. (Had to re-upload, didn't notice the copy-paste mistakes)

All cultures have a differing period of time that must pass before the newborn is bestowed with a name. Even within cultures there are regions that practice altered or even completely different naming rituals. Very rare is it to find a naming of a child that isn't constructed as a ritual even in the loosest of definitions. Some are signified by astrological events, such as Marazians which wait until the next full moon. Others require a celebration and deliberations from family members, so naming becomes a community effort that isn't as parent centric, like the Shattered Holdings.

One of the more involved rituals is the Doran ritual that involves many people of the village and the local clergy of Helx. This ritual starts with the birth and lasts 3 days. The first is a day of thanks to Helx, rituals here are performed to check the baby's health after birth, as well as the birthing adult's health. This is a calm day of rest, quiet thanks, and congratulations. The second day is a day for the parents of the family. Full of feasting, drinking, and partying. This day honors the parents of the child but also the grandparents and further ancestors. Included in this is family caretakers and household-keepers. The final day is for the child, a day of remembering one's youth and the lessons you learned then and how it got you to where you are now. Passing knowledge through hushed voices and providing monetary gifts to the parents for the child's care and future. This end of this final day is where the child is bestowed a name. Typically by the birthing parent but if one could not be thought of, the head priestess of Helx may give one. All others are excluded from provided a name; though as stated previously, this tradition can mutate depending on the region of Doran, or if there are physical barriers separating similar cultures.

This is in large contrast to the Duernine of Neyit that, due to their own history, spend the smallest of time. Every home of the Neyit Duernine has a history of the family and their names carved into a stone. When a baby is born, their name is simply added to this stone when convenient. The name itself is chosen by the parents in private and announced when convenient to their family / community. Duernine early childhood is not reclusive, but it is less community involved as other places on Argemi are. The child is involved with the community as their parents are around their third birthday, but they are by no means kept hidden before that. They are simply kept at home for most of the day with one of the parents.

The spectrum of naming ritual complexity for every Argemian culture lies between these two, and as said before, even within cultures the specifics can vary per region. Each one of these deserves their own spotlight in truth but I hope this overview was informative.

Pride Month art! For Elek! Its not conveyed as much due to how I write and show #Argemi a lot of the time so I like to show a reminder every now and then that Argemi is an inclusive world. Fantasy has a lot of exclusion and bigotry imported from irl, but not Argemi. Elek is a trans man, a prince.

"Sometimes the shield must lower, so the sword can strike. Slay the tyrant that desires our collective end." - Elek

Digital art of an anthropomorphic lion jaguar hybrid named Elek in their armor, holding a sword and shield. They have a mix of leather, metal plates and laminar armor. They are pointing the sword forward in front of the shield that they hold close to their body. There is a trans flag that follows the path of their sword as they swing.
