I spent definitely too much time pondering over unfortunate double meaning of the consume option on soap XD (wersja PL)

I work on some horse models for a horse breeding game, Horse Fable, and the Thoroughbred is currently live in the game! The goal was a slightly stylised artstyle, with a healthy dose of realistic proportions and a pose which'd pay homage to the previous model of the breed in the game.

Alright! I've got a little carried away, so here's the main cast of Isaldi illustrated with their corresponding associated animals! (only sketches, sorry)
Igna: I've associated Igna with griffins for a very long time, to the point I've debated giving her 'griffoness' as a moniker.
She has a griffin on her coats of arms, but the more important cause was her being a half-elf. Similarly to how griffins have parts associated with different types of animals but are their own distinct creature, she is something many people consider a hybrid and yet she is something more than the sum of inherited traits.
Some Wanderers jokingly call her a rookling, because of her bearing a lot of physical resemblance to her father who's widely known as Eberre 'The Rook'. (the natural consequence of this should be a rook-based griffin, but alas, Isaldian griffins don't really function this way XD).
Tumblr media
Argo - Weirdly enough, a dog, and more specifically, a hound. He is very fond of dogs (elves, contrary to humans haven't domesticated dogs), he likes hunting and he is characterised by undying loyalty. Compared to Igna he has less reservations to kill, either sentient beings or not. Add to that a heightened sense of smell and he starts to have a lot of similarities with a hunting dog. Contrary to most of them, however, he isn't too fond of physical affection and is a relatively quiet sort, so while I've drawn him with a pointer (a type of dog he'd probably want to have) most of all, he resembles a sighthound.
Tumblr media
Theria - self-explanatory, she is a social canid incarnate. The similarities to a wolf run deeper than her physicality - she has a strong need to belong and is very much an extrovert, suffering when left in solitude. Expressive and aggressive if need be, but also very affectionate. What is her strenght, however is her downfall - she still hasn't come to terms with a loss of her whole mercenary unit and even vengeance for her late mate's death hasn't brought her peace.
Tumblr media
Daen - corvids aren't an original choice for an equivalent of a vampire, but still, the intelligent omens of doom are a correct association. As a field medic, Daen more than often is elbows-deep in gore. I've chosen the hooded crow, due to them looking like they are wearing an apron. Apart from that, grey+black color combo is very on-brand for him.
Tumblr media
Haart - an ox. Haart's unique abilities are what makes him valuable, but also unfit for his original home and community, like something gentle which inevitably harms its surroundings due to its size. He does his work dilligently (he's often the first person his friends ask for help) and came to love his found family, but he has a soft heart that longs for a home that never may be.
Tumblr media
I’m going to start putting up OC question posts for you guys to reply to! I do this in my art server already but I thought I’d do it here, too :)
First question: what animal is your oc most like? Can be based on appearance, physiology, behavior, symbolism, or any combination of the aforementioned! Feel free to reply or reblog.

10 Happy Things
Thank you for tagging me @thunderboltfire
I love making lists (let’s call this an eleventh thing I sneaked in) and thinking about this really picked up my mood.
1. Graveyards: I don’t mean this in any dark or edgy way. I feel like graveyards are extremely peaceful, reflective places. I love wandering through and looking at the headstones -- seeing the different sculpture designs, seeing the names, and inscriptions, making little guesses at these people’s histories. I like the newer graveyards where people make so many unusual design choices (an entire recipe on the back of a headstone! a stone that looks like an electronic device!) and I also like older graveyards where you can feel the passage of time. When my mom was little, her family sometimes would eat their lunches in graveyards on road trips, so I was never raised with the idea that it’s disrespectful to talk and laugh in a graveyard. They’re pleasant, welcoming places.
2. Brush-tip markers: Along with being smooth and velvety and blending so nicely, they let me pretend I’m a Master Painter Painting Masterfully.
3. Used Book Stores: This is a little similar to graveyards. Broadly speaking, there are two types of used book stores, and they’re both good. 1: Bright colorful bookstores with more recent used books, lots of paperbacks from the last twenty years, books you’ve been interested in but didn’t want to buy at full price and here they are. 2: Brown, quiet used book stores with much older books, lots of hardbacks who’ve lost -- or never had -- dust jackets, lots of foil-stamped covers and thick pages with huge margins and frontispieces protected by translucent paper, books you’ve never heard of, without Amazon reviews or back-cover blurbs, that you decide to take a chance on.
4. Finishing a journal and lining it up on the shelf with my other journals: Along with the sense of accomplishment and thinking I’ve made a bit of a record, my journals are mismatched, lots of them gifts from people, and they remind me of those people.
5. Really Old Stuff: This may be because I come from the States, so there isn’t a lot of really old stuff around me, and even the oldest stuff usually isn’t very old. Really old trees, old houses, old knickknacks -- I love these tangible proofs of the past, thinking about where they’ve been and the people who’ve interacted with them. This exact knickknack was sitting somewhere the day I was born. People were clumping across these wooden floors when they heard the Titanic went down. It’s a neat feeling.
6. Meeting Animals: I don’t currently have any pets, so meeting other people’s cats and dogs and horses and goats feels like a treat.
7. Character Building: Landing on just the right name for an oc, or drawing an oc and finally seeing their personality in my pencil lines. I can “see” the character in my head, but putting that on paper can be really hard. Some characters, like Arsen, still haven’t really “appeared” on the page for me yet.
8. Wandering around in fandom spaces and finding art of a favorite character I haven’t seen before. Extra points if something about the art is so good and so spot-on I want to incorporate it into my own headcanon.
9. Names and Words: I haven’t studied it very deeply, but I’ve been interested in name/word derivations for a long time. When I find out that two words, deep down, come from the same root, it’s magical. My dad once speculated that foal and pullet might have a common source, and I didn’t believe him, but he was right. The other day I learned that Lucy and Luna come from the same Proto-Indoeuropean root, and it means both “to shine” and “to see”. There’s something fascinating about the history of the very words we use, hidden meanings and connections we don’t even know.
10. Hot cocoa: I used to drink hot cocoa regularly, but not so much anymore. It’s the best hot drink, in my opinion, and I don’t take it for granted these days.
Please consider yourself tagged, especially if we’re mutuals. This picked up my mood, and I’d love to spread that around.

30 Day Watcher Challenge- Day 28
Prompt list here
28. playlist: share some songs that fit your watcher!
Here’s the thing. I’m not super great at making playlists, particularly seeing as most of my taste in music is instrumental. I’m going to do what @rannadylin did and leave this open to anyone who wants to contribute. There is no wrong answer! Seriously I would squeal with delight if any of you wanted to suggest a song. Or multiple songs. 
Bonus: here’s a link to art of Mara’s beautiful face, done by the excellent and wonderful @thunderboltfire!

It would be extremely epic, if it wasn't also a Looney Toons situation. (I may have forgotten that Divine Smite exists).

Well-earned rest, 40x60, acrylics on canvas.
This painting of a "Victor" battlemech damaged in battle was commissioned by my long-time client for his friend. It's the first time I've ever drawn (or painted) any mecha, and I think it didn't come out half bad!

Ah yes, the night-prowling, mean and eternally hungry dude, who enjoys killing a little too much.
Happy National Cat Day!

Woe to the one
Who boast in front of the gods
Woe to the god
Who is petty and jealous to mortals
Ensiferum 'Andromeda' --------------------------
I've decided to give oils in Rebelle another go. It's more of a cinematic recreation than what actually happened, but I'm really happy with it.

Do You think their eyes do this in the darker environment?
(what was planned to be a more silly doodle became more of a complexion study - more of my thoughts on their eyes' design under the cut)
Tumblr media
I was pretty sure Lae'Zel has reptilian eyes and I suspected crocodilians to be the main inspiration, but after closer inspection, they have beaded pupils, so I think they're most similar to some species of geckos. I'm pleased to inform You that geckos' eyes do in fact dilate in low-light conditions and they're looking exteremely goofy when doing so.
As to what's Karlach's eyes are based on (excluding dragons and other supernatural beings) based on color + shape of the pupil I think they're feline. And if it's true, then huge, round pupils in the dark are self-explanatory. It's of course entirely possible that they're magical eyes and they don't adapt at all (seeing as they glow with their own light), but it's a fun perspective!

*the sound of muffled shanties coming from the next room*
I've got reminded about mermay and I can't for the life of me find whether or not I've posted this piece on here. This little guy was originally made in 2020 as a Howrse coat, which is why he was a bit rushed and may seem a little rough around the edges.
I gave him a small overpaint of the details and a more spacious background.
