Not what I meant to be doing today but! Another shot at Kht'oth, the N'ghftu Elder God of Light, Spectrum, Energy, Movement, & Precipices.
The first to arrive to the well of power where Aanrah would eventually be made, Kht'oth is a incredibly ancient eldritch being who's seen the rise and fall of many worlds. Though he was convinced not to consume the power and allow a world to be made out of it, Kht'oth assumed he would care little about the inhabitants of Aanrah - as he had with previous worlds. Alas, a human sacrifice opened the door to the world of Feelings for a few brief and fleeing years, and now Kht'oth is a brooding, ticking timebomb, one mild inconvenience away from ending Aanrah once and for all for hurting him.

Trying to decide how I want to do art for characters for WA articles going forward - kinda thinking of just doing whatever vibes with them instead of trying to force them all in one style. Two I've messed around with - not settled on either piece, but!
Left - Kht'oth, the N'ghftu ('Eldritch Monstrosity') Elder God of Light, Spectrum, Energy, Movement, & Precipices - A bismuth and opaline skeleton light construct that is one hair trigger away from deciding it's Over for Aanrah
and
Right - Raisa, the Nuríian ('Unseelie' Fae) Intermediate God of Medicine, Restoration, & Resurrection - A very old ascended mortal fae who is very much sound of mind and body, does not have a complicated relationship with the Twilight King, and is definitely not doing modern-day drugs he's stolen from other planes.

The yamahaeyuyud (dark elves) are done! Primarily residents of Aanrah's underground the yamahaeyuyud were originally shéngǒnshān (moon elves) belonging to the first moon, Gǒngbě. When the moon was destroyed, the newly-created god Oreik saved as many of the moon's residents as he could, who took to treating him as their patron. They were changed to their current form by Oreik to honor him and distance themselves from their original culture, although its influence is still obvious!

First two sets of art for my various races! The Nuríians (left, the "twilight fae") and the Nymauti. Messing with new brushes so it'sssss a lot of learning. Might redo the Nuríian woman...
(uncensored art for the Nymauti can be found on my BlueSky)

A piece of art for stub articles that I put next to a stub article summary to work as a hold over until I can flesh it out more. Featuring Sioa Angdóisa (right, wood elf) and Lurga'bundell Book-Bringer (left, gnome), a pair of once-mortal gods associated with history!

Realizing all my old stuff had ttrpg tags but now I’m not actually aiming to make a campaign and just do writing instead. I’ll have to figure out new tags to use too

Working on banner stuff! My plan is to try to at least post a chapter a week of sort of anthology-ish work + hopefully more artwork so! At least that will be a start to getting things done. At some point I'll clean up the backlog here and spruce this up but! Also, post my current and I swear to god final WorldAnvil link for this world :"U

OKAY I am. Doing what I SWEAR will be my last huge overhaul, and then I want to really start to focus on this seriously. It's becoming my focus project while I'm still recovering from surgery and figuring life out. Hopefully stuff will start being posted on here soon, as well as a link to the WorldAnvil page.

Two more little character sheets I forgot to upload awhile ago. Mostly gods, though the first sheet's third, fourth, and fifth row aren't. Or aren't really - Iuin & Zhün are demigods technically and Ua is maybe a deity maybe not.
