Time to start crossposting art! I've been really into Destiny 2 recently, so here's an older doodle page where I try to learn how to stylize the Eliksni, using various reptiles as inspiration for facial variance (try to guess who inspired who!) #Destiny2 #Destiny2fanart #eliksni #fallen #arenart

Couple pencil doodles of baby Eliksni done between experiment runs- took heavy inspiration from nauplius larvae and baby jumping spiders for them! #Destiny2 #Destiny2Fanart #eliksni #fallen #arenart

A painting of Hornet floating serenely in the Void Sea, her mask tipped forward, the Everbloom degrading slowly in her hand. Behind her floats the shade of the Hollow Knight, head dipped down close to their sister's face, while the Lord of Shades floats on the opposite side of her, void tendrils lashing. A halo of soft white light encircles Hornet's head and the Everbloom, and in the shadows beyond, the blank eyes of the shades of her many other siblings watch on.

And another one! This piece is from 2020, but I still like it quite a bit! #HollowKnight #HollowKnightFanart #TheWhiteLady #ArenArt
A fullbody drawing of the White Lady from Hollow Knight, nude except for a transparent blue shawl draped loosely over her hips. She's a white tree-like being in the shape of a woman, with roots extending off of her hips that are shaped vaguely like that of a dress, and intricate, whirling patterns swirl over her skin. She's extending her right hand to the left of the screen, above which a single green leaf floats, wreathed in the soft glow of soul.

what was supposed to be a warmup instead turned into a headcanon dump for Eliksni expressions- ft a lot of inspiration drawn from parrots and heavy emphasis on the bristles mentioned in the Ecdysis loretab, bc I loved that little detail #Destiny2 #Eliksni #ArenArt #Destiny2Fanart
Eight Eliksni headshots, featuring a range of different expressions- from top left to bottom right they are default (chillin), content, fear, submissive/alert, dominant/proud, angry, pain/sorrow, and smiling. In the default, the eyes are wide, the bristles relaxed, the setae crest in a neutral position, and the carapace plates on the back of the neck are relaxed. In content, the eyes are half-lidded and soft with nictitating membranes half-drawn over the eye, the inner jaw is closed, and the mandibles are slack. In fear, the eyes are wide and tense, the bristles and crest on end, the jaw is closed, and the mandibles are wide and quivering. Preen gland secretions containing pheromonal cues are present. In submissive/alert, the eyes are wide and tense, the bristles are pulled back, and the mouth/mandibles are closed. In dominant/proud, the eyes are narrowed and tense, the bristles are back, the jaw is closed, and the chin is tipped up. In anger, the eyes are narrowed and hard, bristles/setae crest/chitin plates are puffed up, and the mouth and mandibles are open, baring teeth. In pain/sorrow, the eyes are narrow and hard with nictitating membranes drawn up, bristles back, crest down, and mandibles quivering. Tears and preen gland secretions are present. In smiling, the eyes are happily squinted and relaxed with nictitating membranes half-drawn over the orbit, bristles are neutral, crest is slightly puffed, and the mandibles are relaxed and spread open.

More Hollow Knight art reposted- this time, a colour palette challenge that I did over on tumblr nearly 4 years back (good lord how the time has flown) #HollowKnight #HollowKnightFanart #TropeMasterGrimm #ArenArt
A drawing of Trope Master Grimm holding up the Grimmchild, done with a pixellated brush and set on a darker red background covered in watching eyes, all leading back to the silhouette of a heart. Grimm has a halo that looks like snaking arteries and staring eyes, and both father and child are outlined in red fire. One of Grimm's extra limbs can be half-seen under the drape of his cloak, lifting it so that it looks like a wing.

Repost of a painting of the Hollow Knight I did when I got my new tablet a while back! I love how this painting turned out, I really need to do things like this more often :> #HollowKnight #TheHollowKnight #ArenArt
A painting of the Hollow Knight, looking over their shoulder as their cape swirls up to the left of the screen. A stylized sun on a blue-grey background halos their horns, and from the bottom left of the screen, flecks of void float up from the dark

Sometimes I get haunted by visions about what life on Riis must have been like, and what animals the Eliksni must have lost on the Drift. So here's a concept for one of them! I think I accidentally recreated an axehound, but I think it's cute! #Destiny2 #Eliksni #Riis #ArenArt
A coloured doodle page featuring concept art for a Riisian companian animal, inspired by isopods and leachianus geckos. From top left to bottom right, there is a headshot of a leachianus gecko next to a doodle of an isopod, then a fullbody of an adult male. It stands on 6 legs and has eliksni-like colouring, with a hard, plated back, finned limbs, whisker-like bristles, and a stout, wrinkled belly. The hatchling-flushed a deep purple shade- is being held up in the disembodied hand of an Eliksni, fat rolls pressing over claws as it grasps the Eliksni's talons. The last drawing shows a stylized doodle of an Eliksni standing in an A-pose, with the 'dog' standing behind it, looking up to display the average breed size.

whoa whats up with these funky white guys (turned some pose practices I did into my young wolf/bloodborne oc, Aeris) #Destiny2 #arenart #myocs
A drawing of a very thin, pale man with brown hair and bright blue eyes, wearing nothing but loose blue pants and dogtags. He's leaping through the air with two shock daggers in hand, brows drawn down with fierce concentration. His hair is tied up, and he's got a variety of scars crisscrossing his skin, the two most notable being a gouge in his abdomen and a huge Eliksni bitemark on his left shoulder. There's a mole on his right pec. A drawing of a very thin, pale man with brown hair and bright blue eyes, wearing nothing but loose blue pants and a black collar. He's got an arcstaff manifested, which is leaning casually on his shoulder as he balances on one leg. His expression is relaxed, mouth slightly open. His hair is tied up, and he's got a variety of scars crisscrossing his skin, the two most notable being a gouge in his abdomen and a huge Eliksni bitemark on his left shoulder. There are two moles on his right pec.
