Day 2, one of the most flat out horror scenes that just STUCK. Wasn't 100% sure how to interpret this moment, but I'm happy enough with the end result.

Always the curious one, Owu'tinai tends to spend her day exploring, even deep in their home of Har'mara #WorldOfWarcraft #WoW #Warcraft #Art #DigitalArt

A haranir climbing up between two roots. They have orange hair with white sections, braided down to their side. They wear a white eyepatch and trousers with a white cloth belt tied around their waist, as well as a haranir top, shin pads, and bracers, and a leaf cape flows behind her. She is also carrying a haranir spear with orange leaves attached. Their purple skin is lit up by the blue light in the foreground, with yellow rim lighting from the background of harandar. The roots are covered in leaves, and her left foot goes over the white border at the bottom of the image.

We're almost at the end of summer. It's been a... difficult one, but let Nova cast your minds back to a summer that never was. #art #oc #originalcharacter #characterdesign #digitalart #80s #1980s #retro #retroanime #vaporwave #scifi #summer

Digital vector art of a plus-sized woman in 1980s-styled beachwear. She holds a hot dog in her left hand. She sits on some sort of balcony overlooking a sandy beach with palm trees. In the background, people can be seen swimming in the ocean and sunbathing on the beach.

thank you so much for inspiring me, thank you for helping shape who i am. you helped create a character that made me believe in the strength and power of kindness. I was a scared awkward kid, and your voice was a light in the dark. you were our robot dad, and we will miss you 💜

For this art of Sandra, I wanted to pay homage to Patrick Nagel, one of my many influences as an artist. I've done two versions- one with his colouring style, and one with my own. But which would you choose? #art #oc #originalcharacter #anime #retro #characterdesign #80s #characterdesign #digitalart

Digital vector art in a style influenced by Patrick Nagel. The illustration depicts a woman in office attire wielding a pistol reminiscent of retro science fiction, all in simple block colours. She is surrounded by various shape graphics reminiscent of the "Memphis" style of design from the 1980s.

Hopping back to a TTRPG setting I last played two years ago. However, 25 years have passed in-universe... and that means my old character, Marcus, has aged a fair bit. Here he is now, at 46, and here he was at 21 with some art from 2023. #oc #originalcharacter #art #fantasy #anime #retro #digitalart

Digital vector art depicting a man of half-elven heritage. He seems to be in his 40s, with light facial hair and a slightly grizzled appearance. He is dressed in a gold-coloured armour, and is wielding a large axe over one shoulder.
