I make Catalyst, a fantasy project set in the world of Eida, where angels die and ink corrodes the bones of a dream yet to end.

Bashing my head against a wall working on rough concepting for the earth dragon without just filling him with rocks and stones. Perhaps some more fluffiness and crystals are in order.

It's about time I start chipping away at getting into the lore of one of my main worldbuilding concepts. So, Corrosion!
For now, the illness.

Finished Maggie's full body and roughly ironed out how tavern owls look. Might give them regional differences.

Whilst it's too hot to focus on drawing, I figured to share old stuff that I want to redo or scribbled to get ideas out.
In order: Goblin, Gnome, Ghali outfit redesign, A Seraph, God of Mourning

WIP Map. Eida is an artificial landmass, created by Archdragons from the original continent to protect the seal below the world.
Some dragons shaped the land in their likeness or their favourite beasts. Others were more reasonable.

Worked on some stuff that was easy to chip away at. Fiette's design should be finalised (I can start on her character sheet now!) and shows off some clothes from her culture, plus -some- progress on my fox man, Sho'mu.

Still alive, but sick. Normal post soon, hopefully.
This is a kitchen urn I made for a culture, but I feel like I can do it better. Redraw pending. Kitchen urns hold the ashes of the dead and are placed on dining tables so their 'spirit' can enjoy the meal too.

I've been fist-fighting my gnome designs in the ring that is CSP (hard to make them not be bland plushies) and am losing, so I gave up and started working on Drusilla's page instead. I may change the position of the feathers, but I'm unsure.

Some lower effort headshots of some important Catalyst characters. I'm not quite sure I got the chub on Fiette's neck right, but that just means I need more practice with bigger bodies. She was originally called Fiotte until I... looked up what that meant!

I was planning to post my sirens but I've got a consistent clutter issue with my worldbuilding layout that I want to fix. I'll toss WIPs of other fantasy stuff out until then.

Whilst I'm trying to iron out Catalyst lore, I thought I'd share the concept art I made a while back for a different project I'm involved in, Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr! You can find the little bulletin they're in somewhere in the YouTube posts!

I guess it's time to finally leave #DeviantArt.
To make this announcement at the exact time #Sora finally f**king croaks, proving AI-generated video is yet another billionaire tech CEO brain fart just proves DA management's disgusting tone-deafness.
And they're using #Grok as one of their models! 😡

No fancy worldbuilding post this week. I've been focused on recovery and the second draft for my world's lore (so I can do more than creatures). Here's my attempt on my pixies! He's missing a bit of pizzazz, I think.
