Diana (half-elf) and Talos (dragon, shapeshifter), respectively, holding a collapsible staff and a kilij (type of curved sword). There is no animosity between them just a prelude to a sparring session. Both have smiles on their faces. Concept art for a tiger person. The left shows the transformation, and notably more animalistic face, of the tiger person while on the right shows a more humanoid face. Their body grows by at least a foot and they are more ‘feral’. The right also shows the defensive position of the more animalistic transformation. Talos and Diana having different facial expressions. The expressions are confident, surprised, angry, confused, and flustered.

I recently transitioned my comms page from Artistree to VGen since it’s a bit more well-known (nothing wrong with Artistree btw). Although I’m a bit busy right now, please consider checking out my page! I can still do comms, it’ll just take more time (~2 weeks).

Hi, I'm Red! I mainly draw fantasy humanoid characters but I can draw animals as well as people. I don't mind drawing blood, light gore, and artistic nudity! If I sound like your cup of tea I will hap...

Hey yall! I’m gonna have to take a break from posting a lot to focus on my studies. I’m too broke to fail right now. I appreciate yall supporting me—even just liking my work motivates me. Hopefully one day I can go freelance :)

His weapon, Chain of Command, is wrapped around his right hand—it has the ability to turn blood into water. He’s other weapon, a revolver, is tucked in his holster on the left. He’s wearing a dark brown cowboy hat, a red cloth covering his face and neck, a brown cloak with a red inner lining, and his turquoise uniform underneath the cloak.

Diana and BeetleMan playing poker and drinking together in the middle of a red tree forest at night. Diana looks like she’s winning with her four of a kind and confidently takes a swig of her drink because of it. BeetleMan on the other hand, is picking out his cards carefully. Despite wearing a gas mask, he’s able to drink by taking off the main cap in front of the mask. They are surrounded by yellow roses to represent their friendship.

I was imagining this scene the other day and told myself to just draw it. Real happy I did. I love this manga (and especially anime) so much :)

Talos, a humanoid dragon and shapeshifter, and Cheese, a horse-like creature with lion and goat attributes, sleeping together in their home. Talos is laying on Cheese’s side while Cheese is curled up around her. They live in a cave behind a waterfall. Talos has made a fire prior to sleeping to keep them warmer for a little longer. She also hung up a poster of her alter ego, Artemis of The Pit (a title she earned while fighting in the dragon kingdom), and some meat for later. Talos and Cheese taking a nap outside. Cheese is almost in loaf position while Talos is laying on his side with a pillow. Talos, Cheese, and Diana sleeping together in an open field.

I got a new tablet thanks to my parents! I haven’t been able to stop drawing ever since :). Before it broke, I was creating a solo Diana piece since I haven’t really expanded on her yet. Let me know what yall think! (Lore in alt)

#ocart #darkfantasy #illustration #blackartist #conceptart #artsky
Diana and a dual-colored (black and white) seraphim pigeon staring at each other. The time looks to be evening and the forest they are surrounded by is filled with lavender trees—some baring fruit. The seraph is holding a twig wrapped with silk and lifting two small golden rings towards the direction Diana is going. Lore: After a hectic day of being an executioner, the last thing Diana expected was to be greeted by a holy presence. A dual-colored (black and white) seraphim pigeon perched within the fruitful tree next to her. She briefly questioned with awe on whether this was merely by chance, maybe meant for someone else hiding among the forest. With a quickness, she realized the error in her thoughts for Irwin, Spirit of Balance, doesn’t leave chance encounters when it comes to their messages—this was rare, holy, and meant for her. As the seraph stared into her mask hiding her eyes, it soon broke off a twig from the tree it stood on, wrapped one end with silk from its wings, and tied two small golden rings hanging along the same direction she was standing. When it held the finished twig firmly in its beak, Diana knew the message was ready. Despite her inexperience with godly encounters, something perched into her soul: There’s fortune coming her way. Instead of warmth filling her heart, there was nothing but dread in its place. What ‘forture’ could come from being an executioner? She hoped she wouldn’t have to find out too soon.

Felt like experimenting with some character designs yesterday and ended up making this guy. I may make him an actual oc of mine one day. Lore ideas in the alt text

#furry #queerart #transmasc #illustration #blackartist #watercolor #fantasyart #artsky
Blue Bull King (he/they) holding two magical axes. Their hair, eyes, and tail are a bright red. They have purple hoof scars on his chest and legs. They have gold accessories all over their body (horn crown, makeup around his eyes, a medal-lined necklace, arm bracelets, tattoo, belt, skirt, tail bracelet, and hooves). His gold skirt in particular has green cloth lining it while his axes have it around the ends. He also has a cotton cape and cotton lined on his belt. Lore-wise, they was blessed by Goel, God of Land and Transformations (also known as the creator of all beastmen including Talos), when they transitioned. He became king after proving his worth to his tribe—basic king trials to show endurance, strength, and smarts. Besides ruling over cowmen, they’re also in charge of other prey-like beastmen. One of them are the sheepmen who gave him his cape and belt in gratitude. Another are the cowmen who made his other accessories along with his magical axes lined with air stones (it makes them act as a boomerang when he throws them). Lastly, birds are sacred creatures in this world which is why it’s all over his accessories. Think of his as leaning towards a songbird.

My drawing tablet is broken :(. I had it for about eight years or so. I can’t afford a new one atm so I’ll just be doing traditional art for now. I painted my girls to help me feel better (the sketches are a bonus for yall)

Talos and Diana dancing together happily. Talos is in her elf form with long cloth covering her chest while Diana has a long sleeve suit. They’re both wearing long pants—Talos’s is more loose so she can hide her tail. They’re wearing each other’s colors—green to represent Diana’s eyes and red to represent Talos’s scales. Diana doesn’t really know how to dance so she’s letting Talos lead. From up to down, left to right: Dario smoking menacingly Talos giving into her bloodlust/berserker mode Diana lifting a big log Talos kidnapped by the Ironclad Sirens Text from up to down, left to right: “Before” “After” “Talos learning to write in the common language” Art from up to down, left to right: Diana and Talos in the Ironclad prisons. Diana gave Talos a blanket and fire stone for warmth. Her job is to execute her but she wants to show mercy. Talos is unsure of her motives since she doesn’t fully understand what she’s saying. Diana and Talos in an undisclosed location. Diana is teaching Talos how to write the common language. Talos is pretty nervous about writing it.

Artfight Attack 3 :)

#artfight2026 #artfight #digitalart #blackartist #artsky #illustration
Kilo belongs to dootsartbook on Artfight and Cara. Kilo(he/they)—a little blueish-grey kid with fluffy teal hair, a halo, and star tail—stargazing on a water platform of their creation in the middle of the ocean. His clothes are mostly blue and green while consisting of a long sleeve shirt, a short poncho(?), fingerless gloves, pants, and boots. He also has golden stars attached to his short poncho(?). The overall tone of the piece is calm.

OJ, Orange Juice, is created by Happyllama on Artfight. OJ the lemur in a detective outfit and holding a magnifying glass towards the audience. He has a question mark by his head, and has a focused look on his face as he looks for clues. His colors are that of a ring tailed lemur—grey fur with black around the eyes and mouth—with the addition of brown hair and red eyes. The overall tone is serious but not to an overwhelming degree.

Smuta, created by Volkorez on artfight, flying in the air in a city with a happy look on his face. His wings are bright tropical colors such as yellow, green, blue while his tail is black and white—it looks like a lemurs tail. His skin is a warm brown and he has dark brown locs with two black feathers on his head. His shirt is maroon while his cargo shorts are tan. The overall atmosphere of the piece is cheerful.

It took me over a month and sacrificing making art for pride, however, it was 1000% worth it! I made these all for artfight this year. I hopefully won’t have to touch up most of these for a couple months/years. There are small descriptions in the alt text :)
