Commission of @oh-yeah-no’s Aevirious, the human priest!
Thank you for commissioning me!
My half of an art trade with the very amazing @catbatart of their very stunning and extra, Xillion from their Pathfinder campaign.
MADE HIM EXTRA SHINY.
<333 thank you for trading with me! You can see Cat’s rendition of my Koroth right here.
Completed Sombra print!! Might make an online store to sell it as well. It’ll be up for sale at OMG!Con in Owensboro, KY.
Commission for @captainswingbeard for @entropytea of their character Rinua. I'm a star war, you're a Star Wars, we're all Star Wars now.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE TOO INVESTED WHEN YOU MAKE AN ANATOMICAL STUDY OF A FICTIONAL SPECIES FROM A VIDEO GAME.
So I was bored (read; procrastinating) and decided to study Koroth? The Draken are supposed to be an elite hunter species but Wildstar anatomy (or at least how I butchered Koroth in the character designer) doesn’t necessarily support the idea. So I tried my best to figure out how?
If you want to read my text wall of stuff, hit that readmore because HOO BOY
A disclaimer though:
This is all headcanon btw and should not be taken for like an actual guide or law or whatever. This is just me spitballing I know jackshit about animal/human anatomy outside some in depth science and art classes. I am not a doctor/anthropologist/forensic thing whatever.
I would assume most draken have evolved to have a heavier brow, or at least the pronunciation of such. Which are attributed to fatty tissue pockets/deposits, both for need for sturdiness when fighting or attacking, using force to headbutt and survivability purposes, as an assist in adjusting to light, possible backup energy supply in case of malnutrition/dehydration, impact cushion, etc.
They seem to have flatter skulls, which would be mildly detrimental but the bone is definitely denser in the forehead and jaw-- which is high arcing and heavily lined with movable muscle tissues for movement range and strength. Good biters. Not like in the range of jaw movement of an alligator, but maybe closer to a pitbull or large wild cat. Due to the oblong shape of the skull, the bone has to be denser in order to prevent undue stress and injury to the brain from various impacts and traumas. Now when looking at some real world comparisons of skulls, I found that the best suited models were a cross between a gorilla/orangutan skull in brow shape and ridge size, and the early model of the Homo Ergaster, which is an early flat faced, vocalizing hunter-gatherer hominid originating form the African continent several million years ago.
Nose!! Dependent on the structure (since the character generator does allow for some biodiversity), the Draken are okay-ish for scenting things. Probably better than most playable species in the Wildstar Universe. However as far as elite hunting species go, I could arguably say that the Draken would not be the best bloodhounds due to low/average nasal cavity depth. The bridge is mostly bone and muscle, with a very very short cartilage tip. Not a lot of room for any sort of scent receptors there and even then they’d have to be heavily condensed or their actual skin/fur/scale around the noses would be quite a bit more sensitive and prone to weakness.
(However now considering the skull it’s likely plausible....)
Eyes! Actual socket is very large, and houses possibly a decent sized eyeball, with a fair amount of muscle tissue and fiber around the area. Due to the fatty tissue deposit/pocket above the brow bringing a visual weight down around the area, the eyes do NOT look very functional, but in fact are quite acute. Whereas humans, we can see mostly sclera, iris and pupil on average in our own eyes, the draken have no visible sclera, it is enlarged iris and pupil which are excellent excellent excellent when it comes to hunting small and fast prey, and keen night vision. That however can vary dependent on the area of the Draken home world they or their family line extended from.
SO yeah! That’s a Koroth for ya. Have a gif.

Sighs I’ve got a thing for characters with terrible traumas and big hair.
Another gift! This time it’s a Kelutra for @teechew

A commission for @catbatart of their D&D character, Nika Siranaut.
I love this feather man. Also I’m thrilled with how his wings came out?
Finally. After like..... all these years of roleplaying her. I actually have a completed outfit and body reference sheet for my baby. Insomnia: it’s good for something.
GUESS WHO’S BACK FROM BOOTY BAY AND BETTER THAN EVER?
ITS YA BOY FALLANE.
All I need to do now is her jacket/extra details. And fix up her tail.

I've been playing with this idea for a long time but I've decided to revamp Anneve. Like complete overhaul of her character. No longer is she a fallen from grace paladin turned retired warrior/file clerk for the Argent Crusade. Anne now is the ex-head of a defunct Gilnean hunters coalition to King Greymane known as the Houndstooth. Once disestablished, Anneve no longer wanted any part in Alliance/Horde affairs and has slipped away into the solitude and peace of a hermit lifestyle. She lives by herself in a wooden cabin and lives as best she can off the land. She also doesn't hate her worgen half anymore and has no issue controlling it. I've toyed with her having adopted a kid but I'm not 100% on that idea just yet.
Remember how I said I would only make one Wildstar OC? I lied. I’ve got like three. Here’s Koroth. My hellchild. The second drawing is an off model meme.
Part of @catbatart‘s and @dinnasaw‘s and mine new trio of friendship

Overwatch Three-Way Collab with the beautiful nerds, @dinnasaw and @figgeryboo! We decided we’d all start off by sketching our mains and rotating them around. >>
This was so so so much fun and I hope to do more in the future!
Warmup for today: my first and only wildstar character
her name is olena
she is a mordesh doctor/scientist
think of her as that ray of sunshine that while elbow deep in someone’s chest cavity that reminds you how you need your annual physical and vaccines

the most last minute of valentines from your favorite pirate, Captain Fallane
original alt. text btw was this:
Temp clothing design for Karuk!! Along with one of his hunter pets, Gustwing. Later I’ll draw his wolf but eh.
Also a Mh’yishka and a Gorkada in the corner. (They’re romantically involved later on but remain polyamorous.)
GUESS WHO FINALLY DREW MALE ORCS meee. Actually I kind of have a lot planned for these three but anyway
So just in case my handwriting is poop:
Karuk: M/22 Frostwolf Orc, Beast Mastery Hunter. On a journey to complete his Om’Riggor, connect with the elements and become an adult. He’s not the strongest, but he wishes to bring his father pride.
Gorkada Fangripper: M/27 Dragonmaw Orc, Fury Warrior. Owes a debt to Karuk’s father, a Frostwolf Shaman. Begrudgingly now Karuk’s guide and mentor on his quest. His patience is always about 25%.
Mh’yishka: ?/????. Don’t know, Storyteller, and totally 100% not a dragon, nope. “Captive” to Gorkada, but really she just lets him think that, this is all going to make one hell of a story. Thinks Karuk is nice, and always manages to convince Gorkada not to leave him defenseless in a gorge.
So some non-warcraft stuff right here. I decided to revisit some of my old original characters. I've had these babies since like..... freshman year of high school? So almost ten years. I kind of abandoned them for a time, since my primary rp partner and I drifted apart during college. But we got back in touch! And in doing so, I felt it necessary that my characters received an appropriate revamp. If you remember me from Deviantart, or the OCT scene, you might recognize the two up top. Kura and Anesh (previously known as Nakatsuki/Naka) are mother/son. Both of them demimortals and equipped with certain abilities. Anesh is a live conduit for electricity and has a ridiculous penchant for knowledge and books. Kura's a shapeshifter, and firestarter. They've both been around for a long time. Lukos is just a werewolf. He got a haircut and beard. Lmao.

I like Keyleth like 85% of the time. Her anxiety gives me anxiety though.
Also another thing I’m working on in between things to gear up for a convention.
