Hullo,

I'm new, so forgive me for any mistakes, and I apologize if I ended up posting in the wrong place

I found myself looking through the Wiki, and I thought Yanar looked pretty cool (also like the idea of a whole society of plant people) so I tried to draw one up for myself

Don't think it's very in sync with the lore at all, but I thought it looked nice. There's a lot of unfinished business, so I guess you could count it as a WIP (and probably not an actual Yanar)

Will be updating soon.

I worked a little more on the picture, but I don't think I'll get to finishing it
[lost picture :(]

I also ended up saving a lot of images and making it into a gif. (wanted to see how it would turn out)

I hope having spoilers for every picture isn't some unspoken rule or anything

Also made this skin of whoever

[lost pictures. this is too much of a trend....]

Not Massive related. Was just trying to get back into that painterly kind of style:

And a process gif (that is related) of a drawing of RustyTrumbone's character, Fritz Brennen:

Sketches I did. From top to bottom: Walnoodle's Seraphina Eroth, RustyTrumbone's Fritz Brennen, and (i believe) NoRezForYou's Sszaf'liz Lla'sviza.


I always like sketches a little more than pictures that I try to render fully. Feel like when the need to polish is gone, more personality shines through.

Another thing: I like to waste my money on houses in the roleplaying world that I've got no business buying. I always end up unrenting them, so I don't see it as too much of a crime... But I redecorate first. I don't have any mods that make the game look better installed, but here are some examples anyway.

[lost pictures for hyssopterrace1, scriberoad1, and crossroad2. still have a few screenshots from when i owned oldoakroad4]

I like these sketches (and the houses). In the sketches I love the overall use of tones of one colour, on background and shading and linework. They look clean and I'd be so pleased to get a sketch that good, regardless of finished pieces. The art is a nice style and I have to say I'm a fan.
 
if i wasnt about to go broke ragel wise from a skin id buy ur art on that auction. U do a very nice style in my opinion, pls keep showing off that skill so i can keep rating it cudDLES
 
well looky here it's a lot of broken images. here's one to start the reposting process!
Shane Art by oldbooksmell.webp this wonderful one was done by the one, the only, oldbooksmell.
 
Some old busts I never got to posting. From left to right: VirtualStardust's Freya Aveline, WaterDruppel's Amir Razavi, AtticCat's Azra Min Eazim, BeashSlap's Garth Viduggla, and PurrPleh's Ella Marie De Letoirneau.

 
Figured it'd be good to throw in some newer stuff.
Nothing out of my usual habits. The only difference here is that I'm experimenting with Photoshop for the first time. I finished drawing this just today, but I do have two slightly older drawings on me as well:
Both pictures are of MyCatBubbles' character, Mathias Sava Terro.

Well, your first image is an error but the other two works are very impressive.
 
I still have that picture you drew of my baby, Freya. It's easily one of my favorite art pieces.
 
Decided to post all of my most recent commissions.
