Attempting some of the prompts from albabbgg's Curser Relics 2023 ✨⚔️💀🕯️

Prompt: Scythe

[tomatoderby]

When I see a character with pointy ears and horns, I feel compelled to draw them. So when I saw @albabbgg 's dtiys on Instagram featuring their oc Ulvut, I knew I had to make time to draw her and her demon companion in my style. I hope I did them justice!

Please do not repost, but reblogs and likes are appreciated.

@albabbgg 's Cursed Relics next prompt: Axe! 🌿🪓🌿

Changed the golden Sharpie for something more... "Controllable".

The character exists: he's a dawn sylvari soulbeast that goes by the name of Lleuelys!

Fun fact: Alba made polls to vote this year prompts and one of them was axe or sword. Since swords are a thing, I voted for axe.

Sword won.

So I decided to bring to light my little sovereign self, and AXE THE COMPETITION. :D

Cursed Relics Week 1. Grimoire, Sword, Torch.

A piece I made for this year's inktober last month.

albabbgg DTIYS from last year!

[undercaffeinatedgeek]

An older Albabbgg DTIYS I did on Instagram. I love how the stylization on the gold turned out. I find it difficult working in pinks and other pastels normally, so this was a fun challenge for me.

Can I ask you where have you found inspiration for your art? For example I've noticed you have a very specific (and beautiful) way you draw jewelry and clothing. The shapes are very organic yet grounded at the same time, give a bit of a Nausicaä vibes, as well as art noveau meets iron age.

Honestly I could go on and on about the beautiful details of your art but I don't want to seem too fangirlish :D

Ohhh thank you I love those comparisons 🧡 Because I didn't even know those are the vibes I was going for but yeah that's great actually... This is like when one of you made a playlist inspired by my art... (I still have that saved btw! 🧡 And I still cannot believe!!). Here's a little Rhiam drawing with some jewelry she doesn't (yet) have in canon (earrings she does have but she cannot use them yet)

But what are my inspirations hmmmmmmm many! Idk even what all I have inhaled into my art but I try to list something (this got long so rest under cut):

Nature 🌿 I love both mundane (sparrows, plants growing from asphalt cracks, moss covered street signs... the little details) and grand formations that fill me with awe. There's something about things so vast that take my breath away. Like oceans, mountains, high cliffs, endless tundra, wind so strong you could lean against it, ancient stone that has been scraped visible by massive sheets of ice thousands of years ago. (But I'm guilty of not being that impressed by conventional beauty of average gardens. Aren't people tired of only finding planted blooming flowers beautiful!). Most often I'm drawing inspiration from nature familiar to me, that being Nordic/Scandinavian ones.

I already said nature but birds deserve a special mention! Agh I just love those funky little animals 🦅

Stories! I love making stories, I think they help me grasp and go over my thoughts. I love pouring myself into my characters, it makes them feel both personal but also makes it easier to talk about myself to my fellow storytellers. I'd love to do a long graphic novel or write a book one day, but I also love making ttrpg stories just for and with our little group 🧡 For a long time I felt kinda bad that I wasn't doing "real art" that wasn't just illustrations of my characters. But then I realised doing art for arts sake doesn't really inspire me. I don't want to do art that I'd think would be easily consumable nor do I have any great performance to create with my art. I just love to illustrate stories and tell stories through my art and I think that's great! I still love seeing and experiencing artworks that aren't this illustrative, I just don't have the motivation to do that myself. But I can get really excited of works like Emma Jääskeläinen's granite sculptures!

Other artists! There are two categories I think: 1) those whose work I've seen (usually irl) and whose technique or themes or symbolism facinates me. I usually don't want to create similar art, or replicate their style, or medium even. But there's something about them, a feeling of awe or they feel formidable. Or there's something clever about them that lets me have this sense of epiphany. For example, Jääskeläinen who I already mentioned, Marcel Dzama, Merja Palin, Helena Vaari, Marika Mäkelä, to name a few I've seen lately-ish. And then 2) there are artists whose stories and/or style inspires me and influences my art. One of the biggest inspirations to my softer line art style was and is @albabbgg. @serpentface has some really cool worldbuilding and designs, I think they were also a great influence to how I draw bodies these days. @wiltkingart has also very cool shapes and genders in his paintings. @sanctus-ingenium 's stories and art have been a huge inspiration lately. And to list a few others now that I started: @pangur-and-grim/@greer-art, @beidak-art, @elemei, @emilylorange, @pansylair, @cy-lindric, @psrj, @lokorum

And many others I'm probably forgetting now! I also have a side blog @sancta-cessatrix where I occasionally reblog cool art, check tags #art #inspiration

@albabbgg Cursed Relics 2023 - Scythe

Look at em all little slimy bois :D

[albabbgg]

From my custom mermay list “Ancient Waters” ✨💫

[sophiefourcadeart]

My first painting for this inktober, following the list Cursed Relics by albabbgg on insta

This one contains the words Scythe, Mask and Arrow

[skellignd]

Let's begin!

@albabbgg 's Cursed Relics challenge, this one is the first promt: Grimoire! ✨📖✨

For this late drawtober, I am following my style and her aesthetics from last year.

You'll see a lot of whiteouts because there's always room for mistakes, specially if the Sharpie marker you bought VOMITS ALMOST ALL GOLD IN THE ETERNITY LOOP!!!🫠

It was supposed to be uploaded and finished in October, but this year I'm trying to keep calm and carry on with these kind of challenges, just like Alba stipulated in her prompt list. :)

[solacestea]

Cursed Relics Week 2. Gauntlet, Cape, Moonstone.

I was so hyped for this one - specially since I had this cool idea in my mind of making her long hair act as a cape of sorts - but college hit me like a truck this month and left me destroyed on the road so...

Nevertheless, hope you like it!
