(sorry for dissapearing, I am working on many artsy projects heheheh)

I finished my first prompt for the MDZSaction Gotcha for Gaza charity event on Twitter - Where you can donate to Gaza charities and have a prompt for MDZS made in fanart or fic!

My prompt was Catboy Lan Wangji, for jianqzai on twitter!

Hiii! I've been gone a few months, but I've still been drawing a lot! I just tend to post first on instagram and then forget to post on my other socials ahahahahah - so if you feel like still seeing what I make, make sure to follow me on insta @ thewonderingnomad there!

(also I forget to check when people comment and share my work here, I'm sorry for being a Tumblr newbie, I apprecieate it all <3)

Anyways, here's one of my most recent drawings! I wanted to practice painting with my new guache paints, but I didn't use proper paper and ended up using my markers, poscas and pencils to salvage the background hahahaha I also tried to make the scene darker and mor enight.themed, but I dunno how apparent that came across!  The character is Aahmes, an ancient egyptian soldier/guard, and I've other drawings of him and his buddies if you wanna see more!! 

Hope you enjoy!!

Happy new year, hope you had a great beginning of 2023!

I'll start mine out with sharing the last of my pirate OCs, the cutlass swordsman! (I forgot to draw his cutlass, so for now imagine it in a similair style as his lil’ pistol) 

I imagine he’s native american, but I need to do more research on which groups where around in the pirate age and how they interacted, if at all, with the pirates - if anyone cares to enlighten me I’d be very thankful! <3 

I’ve gotten a little obsessed with loose shirts and long braids for character designs recently, so expect to see more of that hahahaha

Hope you like him~

So guess who suddenly got obsessed with MoDao ZuShi?? A friend reccommended the show last month and my life got swallowed in this fandom - I've been rewatching again and again, crying my eyes out over how the best boi ever could try his best at doing everything right and still be made the boogieman after dying so unfairly- I will fight people for this man!!!

Ofc my first ever comfort character has to be the literal demonic grandmaster-

And don’t get me started on how I then wanted to watch adaptations of MXTX other works, saw the first season of Heaven Officials Blessing and then emotionally scarred myself by reading the novel in two weeks of 2nd hand trauma-

I physically hurt over how much I adore these works asdfghjkl

so anyways, if anyone is up for screaming at each other about how tragic Lan Zhan’s 13 years of mourning were, how Wen Ning is adorable af, or how the Yiling Patriarch should have statues raised in his honor - I’m game

Another pirate added to the crew!

This guy’s got a fascination for (ivory?) flintlock pistols, a bunch on him always loaded - and with a accurate shot it’s a bad idea to get on his wrong side!

Hope you enjoy!

Wether it's playing AC Black Flag and Sid Meyer's Pirates, or listening to Colm R. McGuinness' music, or watching Pirates of the Caribbean and recently Our Flag Means Death - it would seem I am obsessed with pirate media!~

So it's only fitting I made some pirate oc's! To start, here’s the ship’s captain! I imagine he’s a spirited jokester, who takes the lead in singing the shanties that keep the crew working!

I might’ve went a lil’ overboard on his oversized jacket, but the captain has to stand out a little ehehehe

Hope you enjoy!

The lil’ yōkai girl from yesterday has a lil’ exorcist girlfriend! <3 

I definetily was inspired by Moroha’s color scheme when drawing this character design, I just adore red, gold and black together hehehehe

Also don’t judge my terrible talisman writing, I did my best ;_;

[a-wondering-nomad]

I've been watching Yashahime and rewatching Inuyasha a little recently, so I got really into Yōkai and japanese mythology - and I drew a kitsune/oni girl! Hope you like her <3

I think my character designs are getting more and more inspired by my Genshin Impact brainrot ahahaha///

Happy pride month!!! Hope everyone can get to be openly who they truly are, and celebrate it as well! 🎉🌸 I doodled a cute sketch i was quite happy with, so had to make it into an illustration! It's weird how you feel happier drawing a happy scene - I was even smiling drawing their expressions, mirroring their emotions hahaha ✨ The boys are Akiya (red hair) and Yenna (black hair) - I hope I can draw them some more, they have happy summer vibes, and that's really my mood atm 🤭🌄 Hope you enjoy!

[a-wondering-nomad]

I finally got something done! I've been trying to rmember including some progress pictures of the sketch to see the difference from sketch to lineart to color 🌈 Also, belated Eid Mubarak to all who celebrate! You've done well through the Ramadan 💪 Hope you like it!

When I say I’ve gotten deep into this fandom, i mean it! 

I saw there’s another art competition for Kokomi and Raiden, and since Kokomi is my favourite character i Genshin Impact, I had to draw her!!! She’s just so pretty, with beautiful colors!!!

Hope you enjoy!

[a-wondering-nomad]

Another one I got to finished recently!!! I've wanted to draw my pharoh character Raneferu in this outfit properly for so long, ever since i first doodled it on my phone whilst trying out IbisPaint X~ I also played around with some new water-paints and guaches I was given recently, but it did misform the paper a bit, so I'll try some other surfaces in the future!!! Hope you like it <3

[a-wondering-nomad]

I finally managed to finish something other than silly doodles and half-assed sketches hahahaha

So here’s a serene scene of a princess and her doggie in the river bathed in moonlight~

Hope you like it!!!!

It’s been a busy time, huh! Hope everyone got a good start to the New Year! I happened to end mine with establishing an addiction to Genshin Impact, wich my friends urged me to try - now my head is filled with Teyvat lore and fan OTP ships hahahaha

The character designs are phenomenal! Though, ofc, some I adore more than others - and Aether simply stole my heart! I have been loving long braids for masculine characters recently, so seeing his braid  swoosh around while playing is just- I HAD TO DRAW IT AAAAA

Do anyone else play??? Who’s your fav character, personality or design-wise??

[a-wondering-nomad]

I wanted to design some characters from a fantasy royal family whith a forest theme, with wooden/earthy colors and leaf motifs!

Sorry the picture ended up a bit blurry, I’ll get some better onwe of the stuff I’m currently working on!

Hope you like it!!

[a-wondering-nomad]

I drew this character reference for my character Nebti a while ago   I hope you like her!

[a-wondering-nomad]

I had so much fun drawing this dancer, especially the floofy hair and skirt! I wanted to make it chaotic and fun to animate if I should ever do an animation of her dancing hahahahaha Hope you like her!
