hey folks. the last month has been hellish. i was already having pretty bad seasonal affective disorder and then unexpected family drama happened that really did a number on me. there's been days where i barely managed to get out of bed and days where i barely ate. i wish i could say i've started...

elves like rahim tend to be rather short and petite, while kha -- on the other hand -- just so happened to grow very tall. he loves teasing rahim for being small, but would have been just as protective no matter rahim's size. the cat imagery comes from the fact that rahim has some sphinx...

this sketchpage accidentally turned into rahim ribbing kha for being a dork, but it's ok because their banter is so precious. it's a mix of design doodles (you know me, i gotta draw the cool outfits and the teef) and little moments, like hair care and kha sipping on blood. he's a vampire and if h...

kha was once an orphaned baby vampire who got adopted by qaragan and na'im, and rahim was an elven kid raised by renza (and 2021-03-29 05:07:44 +0000 UTC View Post
A quick disclaimer: Seir and Murmur is a pair of villains, and their story definitely contains elements of unhealthy obsession, possessiveness, and a twisted kind of love. It's all consensual and they care for each other more than anything, but it's certainly not meant to set a good exam...

time for the monthly dose of march & charlie. the first three doodles are unrelated to each other, i just 1) enjoy drawing them being gremlins and 2) i’m practising drawing romantic and/or intimate moments that aren’t necessarily explicit, such as charlie moving in to kiss a cranky march....

sometimes you just want to draw close-ups of blushy, flustered faces. introducing sekani (the pretty elf from most of the panels) and his boyfriend (eventual husband) byeong-ho, whose indefatigable stamina regularly leaves sekani in Ruins (in the best of ways, of course).

Saying that Nuha had a rough start in life would be an understatement. Her parents belonged to a people of bird shifters known as thajir, one of them a nightingale and the other a sparrow. They were desperately poor and alone in the world, barely scraping by in the slums of the capital. After the...

so the february spotlight is about a thajir named Nuha. she's an old character but i haven't drawn her in a while, so i wanted to do some new sketches of her and her girlfriend Jing. i literally had to dig up old art of Nuha to remember how to draw her lol, specifically her downy feather 'hair' a...

march is ... a very impatient demon. he ain't got time for house chores and turnips, he's got shit to do and places to be. running on four paws is much faster than walking on two feet, so get on loser, we're going adventuring.

"rhahean" is a term of affection that the rhaajim -- our dragon people -- use for someone who is not a rhaajim, yet have a dragon's spirit. it's what iskandar calls his beloved renza, not least during mating season. truly, it's a remarkable feat for an elf to keep up with a lustful rhaajim ... 2021-02-08 20:07:32 +0000 UTC View Post
more nsfw pose sketches and wips -- but the most important part of this sketchdump is clearly march's ponytail. in a recent roleplaying scene charlie had in-game reasons to tie up his hair, and we quickly realised it's a fucking look.
