Happy pride y'all! I don't do personal art a lot but I wanted to make a pride art since I deserve to be seen and legitimized :) Yap below>>

I have been coming to terms with my gender identity recently, and it's been difficult to embrace that I actually am intersex and that it has contributed to my conception of my gender. Through experiencing dysphoria at 13, going hyperfem, identifying as a lesbian and then butchgender, coming out and being forced back into the closet at 16, suspecting my DSD at 19, losing my ftm affinity group, and partially detransitioning at 20 even to myself, I am still here. I am finally freeing myself from the confines of needing to fit anyone's idea of what I should be as a transsexual person. I picked the 1999 alternative trans flag because it was designed by an ftm guy like me! It's also transsexual inclusive, and I am loud and proud about that label. Whatever gender I am perceived as or percieve myself as I will always be transsexual and that's beautiful. I'll always be true to myself.

I love you! Your identity is real! Even if it can only be online, even if like me you want to be out and can't. Keep pushing. Keep going. Happy pride.

Erlöser.

The most illustrious dragon of the First Empire, the Old One, as he is called by the kobolds of Karmelfel, has risen to godlike status in the century since the Fall, though names granted by other races fail to convey the esoteric meanings of his true draconic name. Credited with the creation of the high elven race with goliath Dido, the avenging of his predecessor Kiefernzweig (Yuri) and ascending to the draconic throne in his place, building a palace of gold at Diablo, the creation of the snow elves through Marzanna, and even the accidental spawning of the faraway wood elves, the lines between fact and fiction in his list of feats have been lost to history. It is rumored that Erlöser still lurks in human form, though his spirit has not communed with elven priests in an age. Only the dragonborn of the great Blue Mountains can trace their lineage to he and his brethren. Wood elves teach that he has entered the feywild and will someday return to judge the righteousness of all the races.

Dwarven infantry archer, patrol trooper, and traditional costumes. Pretty happy with these guys! All based on historical eastern European designs, because that also reflects the dwarf spiritual traditions (pagan & current). In this world theyre mainly defense focused because of spreading human feudalism. Theyre going in my lore primer for my DnD homebrew-ish universe ^^

A look inside Intercessionism, the tiefling religion in my fantasy/campaign universe. This guy was made for my lore primer. Yap below >>>

Tieflings are called diezmo, short for diezmadores or tithers, because of their religious traditions. They were mistakenly named tiefers, a misunderstanding of tithers, by colonial humans, which became the diminutive and pejorative tieflings. The race was a spontaneous side effect of power-hungry human nobles opening a rift to the underworld in search of gold; what they got instead was a generational curse as of yet unpaid. The diezmo teach that the Intercessionist, a benevolent fey spirit, will someday enable the tieflings' return to the underworld and free them from bondage in the mines. Alongside their aether queen, the diezmo revere nine archdemons or lineage-lords whom they traditionally trace their powers to; at their coming of age young adults recieve a brand on the scrotum denoting their patron lord, a physical vow of penance. Here's a little about their liturgical language, tlic'tp:

The diezmo click language, written in cuneiform or the script of the same name, is a syllabic language, with each syllable having up to twenty meanings. The clicks were devised to resemble the sound of dripping stalactites in subterranean aquifers, believed to be divine revelations from the Intercessionist herself. Highly reliant on tone, delivery and context to divine meaning, its mastery is a sign of spiritual maturity among the diezmo clergy. Being a liturgical language, the practical infrastructure is slightly lacking, so in daily use the diezmo have adapted a pidgin of dwarven, overseas and noble languages.

Skh’lk: The diezmo; literally “Child(ren) of below”

Tlic’tp: the diezmo language; literally “arrival of word”

Sky’lk: Lineage-lords; literally “Father of below”

‘Nkh: The Intercessor; literally “the Queen”

Tp’tlic’nkh: revelatory pool; literally “word of the visit of the Queen”

Tp’nkh: revelations or prayers; literally “word of the Queen”

Tlic’tp’sky: Coming-of-age branding mark; literally “Arrival of the revelation of Father”

Tp’sky: Curse, cantrip, blade or weapon; “Revelation of the Father”

Tlic’nkh: Smoke exit, chimney hole, Intercessor’s Entrance; “Arrival of the queen”

Dwarf infantry archer and patrol trooper; dwarven costumes.

Back again with a WIP of some dwarf, or kamennyye lyudzi, armor, and traditional costume to go in my lore primer booklet. These guys are as yet uncontested by the growing fiefdom and don't plan to start. They also have a belief against needless violence, but seem to get by on intimidation alone. More New Imperial worldbuilding coming up ^^

Eragon secondary characters sketch sheet let's go!!! My hcs of Katrina, Roran, & Nasuada once again. I was trying to iterate Varden armor and decided a nice Roman trooper plume was in order.

Some elf kids and an Arya for your viewing pleasure. The idea of elf children so intrigues me and I feel like it's hardly been touched on so far

Please pleaseee ask me about my dnd homebrew world... please I would love to yap about it.. it has elves.. kobolds who live in canyons.. tieflings.. satyrs.. religious allegory.. geopolitics... I'm so hyperfixated.. I blame the inheritance cycle for this

[ryans-artblog]

Inheritance-Brisingr era Eragon sketch page wip?? Honestly saphira is the best part of this, hopefully it comes along while I'm shading the rest of them. Arya's kinda looking like Cher over in the corner there.

And now New Imperial Loreverse has a map!! See my profile for more on these guys, this is my first time building an rp/dnd world and I'm pretty happy

Using my energy around having some new characters to start back up my motivation to draw more for this lineup, not even 100% sure if Cirro and Kazimir are going to be in Ever Autumn(they would likely take the place of another character if added, but I could just add them as coworker/shop owner, to be decided). Their art still seems a little off to me for some reason, I am still a bit ill so I am not up to snuff, apologies for that.

Was going to go more in depth for their lore but I currently do not have the energy for that. For lore light tho to explain Kazimir's prosthetic leg, he took a physical toll for bringing someone, Cirro, back from death, resulting in him loosing a leg, part of his right hand, and most of his right ear.
