Fallen London has some absolutely wild lore, and "The language of the stars that burns itself into what its written on" in particular inspired me to try some symbol design of my own
Sigil names below, for clarity
An Agreement Spoken As An Apology A Secret Known To All But The Silence A Weight Carried For Love Beauty Which Conceals Danger The Grace Of Laughter That Precludes Grief Rage Against The Dying Of The Light
#taith art#fallen london#these are not specifically meant to be fan-sigils for FL#they're for my own use in various projects#but FL is included in those uses!

My hope is not for a peaceful world, nor for a world free of suffering and loss. That is a hope for an impossibility. More so, it's not fun. It isn't fun for everything to be nice and good. World peace. I don't want that. What I want instead is a world that is worth living in, that we can enjoy life because we are alive.
I found a journal assignment from, like, elementary school, and jeezus was little me going through it!
#taith art#taith writes#no wonder Nitw's 'i want it to hurt' quote resonated with me a decade later#ive always been like that i guess#theres also an entry that clearly telegraphs me as aroace but i didnt know that existed back then

My dnd group's planning to try out MASKS: A New Generation, and (like always) designing a new character has proven to be the best source of inspiration! Eridani (they/them) is an Outsider who's having a blast on Earth because it's way more fun than the situation on their homeworld
#taith art#masks a new generation#eridani#if you think they look a little like Stitch that wasnt intentional#their homeworld is tidelocked and the conflict between the day and night sides is. Intense.

Monster design is one of my favorite things to draw. Piecing together weird, freaky bits to create something new and terrifying is so much fun!
This is one of my first, favorite-est monster concepts. A hateful spirit born from lynchings and hanging executions, bonded to the tree the victims died in, that stalks the woods looking for new victims to feed its wrath: The Hangman's Terror

The Perennial Nightmare
Born of the dark and the wild unknown, the Perennial Nightmare is an embodiment of the campers’ fears melded with the living forest. It was once a forest spirit, but some malicious machination twisted and corrupted its purpose. Now, it embodies the nightmares of mankind.
The Perennial Nightmare is the main monster from the MotW game I'm currently running! It's stalking the edges of Camp Perenell, waiting to slaughter anyone who treads outside the camp's grounds. It's killed three NPCs and one PC, although the PC has the ability to come back so that doesn't count
#taith art#monster of the week#motw#monster design#its designed to mimic Jason-style slasher villains#from a distance it looks like a malformed human.#you dont realize its a plant monster until you get close#I so want to talk more about the cosmology of my motw setting..#i need to draw this properly as full art.. im hoping to publish/sell mysteries for folks to use

In-progress map for the Monster of the Week mystery I'm running right now. Camp Perenell is a year-round camp that hosts many different events and activities, but it's currently under siege by some kind of plant monsters. Bad times all around
#taith art#monster of the week#motw#WIP#campfright#the map is deliberately designed to look like it came out of#one of those brochure handouts you get from visiting like. disney or a con or something

My Witchlight party just squared off against the remaining two hags in the depths of one's castle lair, and Nemea spent the first two rounds clinging to the underside of a balcony like some kind of cosmic murder cat-moth
(5-minute sketch of what that looked like to the enemy)
#taith art#oc art#nemea#dnd#dungeons and dragons#not pictured: the quartet of elemental horses it summoned to break shit#summoning became so good once tashas came out

@ziracona almost lost a PC to a selfish, team-killing asshole, which is just. The fastest way to ruin a session and also your reputation in a group. So here's my girl Nemea giving Aadhya a hug, because she deserves hugs

Nikki's my character for a one-off MotW game @ziracona is planning. She's a teen conspiracist who spends way too much on cryptozoology and urban legend forums, and also is an urban exploration hobbyist.

Nemea was voted Witchlight Monarch, which gives it three summons of the Monarch's Wings. Combined with Starry Form and Cloak of Stars, and adding in a Moon Sickle, she's able to turn into something really really cool.
Nemea's my pc for a Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign I'm part of! (She/They/It)'s a nyxborn circle of stars druid who grew up in the Astral Sea, which made them. A little weird.
She also discovered that the hag who stole its sense of direction is fated to die under a solar eclipse, which is just delightfully appropriate.
#taith art#OC art#Nemea#dungeons and dragons#dnd#tabaxi#as far as im concerned nemea is straight up apotheosizing#once its able to they can cast flame shield and fire blade#and become a full-blown Cosmic Avatar#its shield has an eclipse painted on it too

I haven't animated in any way, shape or form for at least three years, and I haven't done 2D animation in probably twice that. I haven't used Toon Boom Harmony even once in my life, so this was my first time exploring how it worked. I animated this entirely within the 21-day free trial, which I think is decent for learning/relearning how to animate after so long!
#taith art#animation#this truly was an interesting project#I can tell i've barely scratched what toonboom can do as well#I have Ideas about other projects to work on in the future

Local artist surprised to discover drawing Human Anatomy is much easier than drawing Human Anatomy But Wrong.
#taith art#sketches#Monster of the Week#its for a campaign idea#my long-forgotten love of drawing Weird Monsters has been reawoken

The mage origin is wild in hindsight. They condemn your friend to death on hearsay of blood magic, but no one bats an eye at you consuming corpses to heal yourself. smh at these double standards...
#taith art#OC art#viite#dragon age#dragon age origins#my wonderful nightmare warden#this isnt a joke btw her literal starting spells#include one that desiccates enemy corpses to heal her#and theyre totally fine with that!#but noooooo you touch anything involving blood and suddenly youre eeevil
