Introducing Seaz! This is my oc Zarando's cat. She's a little magical - her spots fade when she runs out of mana. An entirely white Seaz = very tired and most likely in need of a nap #digitalart #drawing #catdrawing #artsky
A calico cat stands on the grass. Her tail is raised. Her head is turned towards the camera. She has her eyes closed.

My favourite darlings Zarando and Taeri now have a chibi form 💜 #digitalart #chibi #originalcharacter #ocdrawing #artsky
Zarando (oc with long ginger hair in braids and grey eyes) looks adoringly at Taeri (oc with short brown hair and freckles). They are holding hands.

Miro and their Sylix v3! So far I've been redrawing this every seven months, let's see if the pattern continues ✨ #ocdrawing #digitalart
Miro (original character, enby with green eyes, freckles, and short brown hair that has a white streak) looks at a purple lizard that is sitting on their shoulder. The purple lizard looks back up at Miro. It has flowers around its head, and is wearing an upside-down bellflower on its head.

Artfight is back and so am I! artfight.net/~wietskewrites #artfight #teammystery
Dark brown and red themed card. The artfight logo is in the upper right corner. The title reads 'team mystery'. On the left is a portrait of a masked person holding a purple lizard creature. Next to it are two boxes, one with text reading 'user: wietskewrites' and one with 'I attack: anyone'. To the right of the two boxes are three more boxes: 'friendly fire', 'revenge' and 'mass attack'. All three are checked.
On the bottom half of the card are five squares with portraits of original characters, titled 'featured characters': Queros, a guy with luscious black hair; Markí, an enby with brown curls; Taeri, a guy with short brown hair and freckles; Arphica, a woman with long white hair; and Jagemir, a guy with short brown hair and vitiligo.

It's Taeri! The happiest mayhem causer of the gang, and the best artist #originalcharacter #fantasyart #bookoc
Taeri, a man with short brown hair, stands with his arms spread. He is laughing. He's wearing a lavender overshirt, a blue skirt and brown boots. Behind him sew trees and mountains. The sun is golden. A close up of Taeri's smiling face. Some of his freckles are star-, moon-, or heart-shaped. He wears earrings, and has a piercing above his eyebrow. Around his neck hangs a crown necklace.

Everyone look at my darling Arphica. I wasn't aware of how precious she was, but here she is! (Also, she's on artfight! artfight.net/character/78...) [ #digitalart #drawing #fantasyart #ocart ]
Arphica, a brown woman with white hair and golden eyes looks over her shoulder. She wears her hair in braids, with ribbons and rings interwoven in them. She also wears a crown pin. She has a scar on her nose, and has a nose piercing. Arphica, a woman with white hair, walks towards the camera. She is wearing a blue tunic with golden trims, and flowy purple pants. Around her waist, she wears a belt with a small pouch. She wears golden jewellery. Behind her is a view of hills specked with trees, with the back hills completely covered by a forest.

Super proud of this one! General Wythari (left) and Queros (aka the stray she picked up off the streets at some point) (right) walking down the streets of Bavinko together. Besties #ocsky #digitalart #fantasybook
Wythari (left), a woman with lavender hair, a matching skirt, a crown, and a wooden right hand, walks next to Queros (right), a man with dark hair and a beard. They look happy/content. It is evening and it has just rained; the lights of the buildings reflect on the glossy street. The vibe of the buildings is Japanese. A black cat wanders next to the duo.

Queros when Zarando proposes his tenth stupid plan of the week (it's Monday) #drawing #digitalart #ocart #fantasybook
Queros (oc), a man with long black hair and a beard, stands with his hands on his hips. He looks exasperated. His cape flows in the wind. Behind him is greenery. A close up of Queros (oc), a man with black hair and a beard. His expression shows that he is very done.

See, this is what I mean when I say I love editing! Taking one sentence and figuring out how to reword it to make it happen instead of just describing it 💜 And then there's the opposite where you have the ramblings of a lunatic and you go ha. We don't need that. Delete. #WIPsnips #editing

"One.
Miro leaned closer to the pot, spoon with crushed mindberry flowers trembling in their hand. Their eyes teared up slightly as the fumes hit their face, but they didn’t dare blink lest they miss it.
Two.
Their spoon hovered above the pot. Miro held their breath — there it was, near the edge, a bubble steadily swelling until —
Three.
Miro plunged the spoon into the pot and stirred counterclockwise until light pink swirls appeared in the otherwise yellow substance."

Happy Valentine's day! These are Taeri and Zarando! Zarando is the star in my book series, and Taeri is his, eh... long distance lover. They're the moon and the sun, tragically separated but still very much in love #digitalart #ocart

No perish, but I do have 'die'. This is part of the opening scene of book 3 #WIPsnips
Dark green background with white text. The word "die" is highlighted. Text reads: 
"Corrosion of faith happened over time. An accumulation of injustices, a net of hairline fractures. A young boy, cheeks smudged with dirt and tears, following a group of Crythille soldiers to his new home. Because how could the gods have let his sister die like that?
The gods had abandoned them.
A teen still, clutching his ribs as he collapsed against a tree, taste of copper gasping from his throat. His gaze flickering over the horizon, the battlefield where he’d left his comrades.
The gods had abandoned them.
The destruction of Bavinko. The fate of the Deithi. Arin’s death. Crack after crack, blow after blow. A certainty, echoing louder and louder. 
The gods had abandoned them.
Why else could these things have happened? If the gods cared, if they cared at all, they would’ve been there. They would’ve helped. But not even Yuki — Arin had been Yuki’s favourite. Yuki was supposed to protect them. The fact that she hadn’t should have been enough. Yet Queros’ faith had persevered. Cracked, chipped, bruised, but unyielding.
Until now."

Been drawing sealbears recently [ #digitalart #fantasyart #fantasycreature]
A seal with a bear-inspired head makes a somersault in the water. It has a yellow belly and a light blue back with purple patterns. Its face is furry, blue with purple patches. A sealbear (seal with a bear-inspired face) makes a banana pose in the sand. It has a fluffy yellow belly, while its back and head are blue with purple patterns. It is smiling and its tongue sticks out a bit. Tiny hearts float around its head

Miro and Jagemir, besties in every universe #digitalart #drawing #fantasyart #originalcharacter #ocdrawing
Miro, a freckled enby with a white tuft in their otherwise brown hair, is sitting on a chimney. Jagemir (Jags), a man with short dark hair is standing on the roof next to them, staring into the distance. He has a mountain goat embroidered on his skirt flap.

I don't have manager, but I do have 'squad leader', which is basically the same. Queros has come to the market to ask Jicin for a favour 👀 #WIPsnips #WriteSky #writingprompts
White text on a dark green background. The word 'leader' is highlighted. Text reads:

As soon as the customer had disappeared back into the crowd, Jicin turned to Queros. “What is it?”

He wanted to leave. He wanted nothing more than to leave, leave Jicin to her life and her business instead of dragging her into this mess once more.

“I need your help again,” he said, despite that. He found her eyes. “We think Zarando is trying to communicate. We have a potion that might allow me to talk to him, but we’ll need ingredients.”

Jicin blew out a gust of air. “Again? I — ” her eyes flit over his face. Queros hardened his gaze, armouring it with all the authority he could muster. His squad leader gaze. The gaze that didn’t ask, but commanded. The gaze that — wavered, just a bit, as a pain shot through his head. He brought his hand to his forehead, massaged his temples.

“The list isn’t too long.” He took the paper from his pocket. The ink had smudged a bit, but hopefully it was still readable. “How many days would you need for these?”

Miro is definitely not okay #WIPsnips #WriteSky
White text on dark green background. The word 'low' is highlighted. Text reads:
They continued their trek until the sun kissed the horizon, orange rays leaking between the trees. It hadn’t rained yet, but the sky promised a good storm, so they set up camp in a narrow cave, entrance guarded by thick, twisting roots.
Queros waited for Torean to be asleep before approaching Miro. They’d settled down near the entrance of the cave, using the last remaining sunlight to sketch one of the creatures they’d encountered during the day — Miro loved documenting flora and fauna.
Queros slumped next to them, watching Miro’s face as their pen scratched over the page. Their eyes had a slightly red hue, a muscle on their cheek twitching irregularly. A weariness wafted off of them, weighing down their strokes. Every now and then, they coughed, a raspy, unproductive cough.
“Hey.” Queros kept his voice low. “You okay?”
Miro sighed, glancing at Jagemir at the other end of the cave, then at the sleeping Torean.
“Define okay.”

Funny thing, I decided to redesign his assassin's tattoo because he's had a placeholder all this time. So I checked Miro's notebook for flowers that might have death related symbolism, and landed on the Red Ryorilla. Turns out the original tattoo already matched the shape of the flower #lore
A page titled 'red Ryorilla', showing a dark red flower. Different parts of it are drawn separately and labelled: the bud, the seeds, the flower head, and a leaf. Below it, a text reads 'according to legends, it grows where blood has been violently spilled'. A headshot of Jagemir. He has a small tattoo on his neck.

Bottom text reads 'diamond-shaped scar before lip'. Text on the right reads 'tattoo on neck' and has a drawing of the tattoo, which is a flower head with three leaves.A headshot of Jagemir smiling.

Markí - born to be a poet, stuck as bartender at the town's inn. Their favourite place to write poetry is at Tsuka's old temple, or what remains of it - the temple has fallen to ruin since the God Regnant outlawed 'false' gods. Markí doesn't mind - there's a kind of beauty in the ruins, isn't there?
