Can’t you see that you’re lost without me?

Redraw of a piece of mine from back in 2022. You can see the original here

Papa’s bestiary - a collection.

Finally, the whole set is done. I was pondering if posting Primo alone first but I really wanted to see the full collection because I’m ✨impatient✨. Maybe I’ll dedicate a post to his portrait in the future.

So yes! Who guessed goat for Primo and snake for Secondo was right, but it wasn’t as an easy choice as it may seem.

At the beginning I wanted to associate the Goat to Nihil and the snake to Sister Imperator, while I chose bats for Primo and ravens or a bull for Secondo, but I couldn’t help drawing Primo with the goats (the first version of his portrait was so different!) so I just sticked to the animals quoted in their songs.

I have other plans for Nihil and Sister Imperator though. They’ll come separately.

I’ve done some minor edits to some of them.

Ps. For those who requested to have them as prints… find them here.

From now on i'm only drawing things that would make teenage me happy e.g. slutty emo anime boys

Amidst the swirling smoke and echoing voices, her eyes remain ever watchful.

Illustration I did a time ago, with the prompt of "Agent". So, I obviously had to come up with something queer that gives me full-on gay panic 😇🥺🌈

And here’s a gif of the process. I wanted to give the final piece more of a vintage look.

Shallan!

An old piece I made a long time ago. I still like it though, so I thought I might share it here too. ✨

This started off as a test because I wanted to figure out how I could paint stormlight and stained glass for another piece for them…

I spent so much time on it by now, it feels like a waste not to post it.

And here's the whole series. I'm kinda proud of myself - when they all put together I can see the amount of work - and I love my characters a lot. :) Now, I wonder, which one is your favorite? My personal favorite is 2nd - I think I did Lyra justice with those wings. Since this is gonna be a long post anyway, I'm gonna add a few sketches for some of them below.

Last one was an alternative variant for the 10th piece but I imagined that people would misinterpret it BAD so I decided to draw another one. I still like this sketch, however, maybe I'll finish it with lineart or sth like that. And another sketch also had Devil in it but since this piece was more focused on emptiness, I just erased him. Well now you know he was there. And about the knife... now you know who did that, too. After holidays I want to update my lore post a bit so stay tuned for that :]
