Like what you see? I take commissions and art trades!

What a year it's been! I started 2024 with the goal to complete at least one piece of art a month, and other than when I was moving I did it! I feel like I am really improving in my digital art skills, thank you to everyone who's been on this journey with me ☺️♥️ Perhaps I'll focus more on traditional art in 2025... Stay tuned!

All pieces drawn on a Lenovo Yoga 7i 14" with FireAlpaca.

A scene from my current DnD campaign, where @s0akie's Ammit and my Ryix have a touching, brotherly moment :3

The Sands of Time

Surprise! Ryix has a back tattoo! He earned this at his "igo", which is a three-day journey that every Leonin takes when they turn 20 years old. They are considered a "cub" in the eyes of the Pride until they return. On the eve of their return, the young Leonin brings back three items to represent a lesson they learned on each day of their journey. A feast is held and the young Leonin gets to explain their items & lessons. The entire next day is spent with the elders, who create a custom tattoo based on the Leonin's learned lessons and their Pride. Once the tattoo is complete, a ceremony is held to welcome the young Leonin as a full member of their Pride. I titled this piece "The Sands of Time" since Ryix's pride is the Sandrunners. (disclaimer: this lore was created by me; please don't recreate it without my permission. It is not canon DnD content!) Also little design note: he has not gained his braid yet, nor does his mane/tail have white streaks yet! More to come on those :3
