'Past lives couldn't ever come between us.'
╭┈➤ 𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨 🔸 Do you ever just get an art piece idea and then work on this new project relentlessly for days on end? That's what happened with this one. After browsing through artwork made by a variety of artists who possess both way more bravery and way more skill than I do, I was tempted to try out a piece with a non-traditional colour palette. And, well, the best way to learn how to do it is to just try. So here we are.
╭┈➤ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨 🔸 My Mirabile Visu and @hirundine 's Claude have had one of my favourite unplanned character development arcs of all time. Not only do they both come from environments that shaped them into being horrible people, they both got out of said environments and managed to do a complete 180° in terms of personality, morals, and behaviour. And along the way, they also managed to fall in love, too.

"I just like it."
Twisting Pathways entry for the Sweet Challenges event over in Realm of Serpents. I will never not find this dialogue option funny.
Cleo the Inaurate is my player character from Realm of Serpents. Artwork inspired by and dialogue based on Baldur's Gate 3.

Cohost profile
If anyone's moving to cohost, you can follow me there - link
I'll still be posting here primarily, but made a profile there in case I ever want a different site. Plus it doesn't compress my images horribly so that's pretty nice.

Been a while since I painted some tarot card-esque pieces, so here's the Three of Swords for my Realm of Serpents character, Reshava! No one gets rid of their business rivals quite as well as they do.

Back with another goofy new character I'm obsessed with. This is Pres short for Precious bc I saw that name in dmnes and knew I had to use it and they're an angry goth assassin who's best friends with... an equally angry weasel.
My character concepts are unparalleled in their stupidity this year but I'm having a lot of fun. I'd explain what's up with their eyes but I don't feel like subjecting ya'll to my convoluted fantasy worldbuilding today.

Bitter Farewell
Tumblr media
Pools of the Niravar
An ARPG with a living story and focus on character development.
Find out more about the group here
[ Elyathil 1348 & Isarnor 1177 ]
One of the hardest and most important parts of growing up is learning through experience. Depict a time when your Niravar learned an important life lesson. Was it something practical, or a lesson that helped advance their personal growth?
Isarnor and Elyathil have now completed their Obsidian Accord training, but their paths were forcibly split - each of them was assigned to a different Toneru tribe. They part ways, knowing that next time they meet, they may not be allies any more.
See the timelapse for this piece here.
I am traumatising my cat children again :]

For once, perhaps, everything would be alright.

An important part of growing up is reminiscing about the choices you made in your youth. Show your Niravar revisiting an important location or object from when they were young. What does it remind them of?

Call of the Abyss
An illustration I did for Pools-of-the-Niravar of the latest story event, where we fought an ancient sea monster and prevented it from eating too many townspeople.
This piece features Drahoslav, our Niravar NPC for the event, as well as Adrian 610 (owned by SWRpg) and Selenian Laeuth 1304 (owned by sky-limits), both of whom participated in the fight and who were picked for having the most entries.

When the weird underground city you find on your arctic expedition has some unexpected hot springs so you get terrorised by your bodyguard who has no shame. Maybe the real monster hidden in the ice is the unexpected lack of clothes on your travelling partner.
Event collaboration with @hirundine who transformed my messy sketch into beautiful lineart and added colours as well. I did the background and shading.
"Totally not Filip" (left) belongs to him, Iovita (right) is my character.

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.
Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).
