Maxine Domino, 02/13/2022

Not the first(or last) image I've made in this style, but absolutely my best so far. This piece had three purposes: to incorporate color contrast into composition, to help me refine this scratchy art style, and finally, to be the first full rendering of Maxine 'Max' Domino.

A little info on her: she is a Khejitsune, one of the twelve soulbearing species from my TTRPG setting. Frontwoman for the punk band 'Dynamo,' she is well-known for having a "Fightpass" at every live performance, given to one able-bodied and willing attendee upon entrance to the venue. This pass allows the attendee to climb on stage and have a brawl with Max during that performance.

She has not yet lost to a Fightpass holder, and has never stopped singing during a fight.

Boys' Night Out 2, 04/01/2023

The follow-up to a daily sketch I am now retroactively titling 'Boys' Night Out,' this piece depicts the natural conclusion of any group of dudes chilling together long enough: total erasure of your physical form in order to enmesh with the cosmic subconscious.

Umbral Forest Background, 02/04/2023

Originally the background for a rotoscoped animation project for uni, I loved it too much and choose to display it as its own piece.

It takes inspiration from the artstyles of Everhood, Fight Knight, and especially the song 'Cursed Cathedral' from Mario's Mystery Meat,(along with the background of the area in which it plays). I am in love with the aesthetic of highly saturated colors overlayed onto a pitch black background. The poem hanging in the Foyer describes my feelings on the matter.

Twilight Forum 3, 04/09/2023

One of my earlier Bryce renders, this is the only scene in which I have taken shots from multiple angles. For a time, I built a space in my head of sorts to visit when I meditate. This is my attempt to recreate it, with mixed results, honestly. I feel there should be more here, like it doesn't catch the proper feeling when I look at it.

The tall trees are my favorite part though, simply black silhouettes framed upon a deepening blue sky. That looks exactly how I wanted it to.

Twilight Forum 4, 04/09/2023

This is my favorite angle of the Twilight Forum, and has the most interesting composition to me, though it hides almost everything else in the scene.

You Came From Somewhere, You Know, 10/25/2022

I've always loved the aesthetic of clowns. Bright colors, abstract shapes, completely different fashion standards. They're quite interesting to look at, honestly. I feel like clowns in art are a bit like spirits, appearing inhuman but familiar, relegated only to select spaces and circumstances.

I wanted a high contrast space here, inspired a bit by renaissance paintings, but also by a certain weirdcore image that fills me with comfort.

Ga'Kara's Outfits, 01/29/2023

A simple reference image for Ga'Kara Angell, my friend's character in a campaign I was running in my rpg system. While this was partly to show Ga'Kara, this is the first (and at the time of writing, the only) representation of Haukozan attire.

Despite coming from a frozen world, they are very well adapted to living in the cold. As such, Haukozan clothes tend to be lighter and more breathable than one would expect, especially when living on a warmer planet, such as the one Ga'Kara finds herself on.

Royal Procession, 09/01/2022

A Khejitsune royal procession, dressed in their formal attire. The royal guard are believed(rightly) to bear skill and fortitude which surpasses the need for technology. As such they use only ancient weaponry and armor to show this to all, and the history ingrained in these relics strengthens them.

While serving as a good example of Turran royal attire, these people most visibly wield a logic, the most powerful form of magic in my setting. The tools you use, the armor you wear, they only go so far. It is the ideas you wrap yourself in which are your greatest strength.

Turran royalty, and the dominant Turran culture as a whole, believe in history as reinforcing the future. The spirit of all previous hammerstrikes strengthen the one you swing yourself. The spirit of all previous decrees enforce the one made in the present. Most Turrans wear a "chronicle," a garment on which they write their entire life's story, as they live it.

Searching The Ruins, 06/04/2022

I've always loved how useful charcoal is for rendering flowy clothing. This piece was a bit of an excuse to do just that, drawn while I was at home during summer break, unlike most of my charcoal pieces, which were drawn for classes.

Loomomu Villagers, 06/19/2023

What's notable about Sphirin, the planet on which the Loomomu live, is that the wilds are haunted. All of them. Everywhere. Any stretch of untouched land can become home to spirits, creatures, and other things which live through logics alien to the Soulbearers.

As such, any individuals living in the city outskirts or smaller settlements are threatened by these forces. A way to somewhat assure your safety is to wear enchanted clothing, bearing charms and wards strong enough to keep the bad things away. Or at least, the weaker ones.

Enchantments in this setting are not worked through magic directly. To intentionally enchant an item one must infuse it with their soul through expression by making it into a piece of art. To unintentionally enchant an item, it will simply gain power through enough usage and care, or from experiencing incredibly unique circumstances.

Mineral Gallery, 08/11/2023

Created while at the beach, this render was inspired by the mineral gallery at the science museum in my home town. The museum's long since been updated, but I still remember how it was when I was a child. It was a strangely dark place with a feeling of mystery, and many small exhibits I think about every now and then, the vibrating sand table being a big one.

The mineral gallery stood out to me though. I had already visited the museum for years before it was added. A completely different feeling from the rest of the museum, even darker, with red curtains(which I may be misremembering), a dark green carpeted floor and gray fabric covering the walls. The brightest points in the room were the display cases, filled with strange stones, metals and gems on black pedestals. I remember there being interactive tv screens with information on each stone that you could navigate to through a grungy, 90's sci-fi looking user interface. I still think about that gallery.

The Masked Dog, 10/09/2022

The ancestor(god) of chaos in my setting, the Masked Dog is unlike any of the other ancestors, particularly in form. It is believed by some that it was not born alongside the other ancestors, but is instead an extant deity from elsewhere who took the place of one.

Shifting constantly in color, texture, shape and sound, its presence is cacophanous to all senses, and those who witness it are incapacitated by seizures, and left without any form of perception for weeks... If it allows them to be.

The Masked Dog is not disorder, unrest, or complete dissolution of logic and meaning. It is the potential for anything to occur within a single, moving, point in space. Any action or occurence, and the effect thereof.

It feeds on them, leaving all things devoid of agency and change.

Self-Portrait, 05/08/2023

The final assignment for my figure drawing class was to create a self-portrait. A conclusion you might have noticed on this site is that I don't find the face to be a particularly important feature of myself. I don't find being human to be a particularly important feature of myself. I actually find names to be dangerously important, which is why I am 142. So I can be my own.

While partially an excuse for more flowy fabric, I wanted to capture a feeling of me, not the me I am physically, or that I know, or that I even believe myself to currently be. If I were the most basal, purest me as I could be, idealized and inescapably flawed simultaneously. I believe, at the time of drawing this, that this would be me.

On The Toilet, 03/27/2023

This piece, at the time of drawing it at least, is my answer to the question: "how hard can I go?"

Based on an image of what I believe to be an entirely carpeted bathroom and featuring Benneth, my fursona at the time, the goal of this picture was to render as much detail as I could (while still getting my homework completed). I am not satisfied with the techniques I used for Benneth, but I am quite pleased with the bathroom.

Triptych in Longing, 05/10/2023

One of my more unique pieces for a few reasons. It is extremely personal to myself, it features multiple images combined into one, it's the first digital diorama I have ever made, and it is only one of a few pictures that came from a successful strike of sudden inspiration.

Driven by the first warm winds of spring I had a thought of my creature standing in a field, staring into the open distance. That thought eventually grew into this, depicting both my feelings and some events I was experiencing at the time. The lingering obsession with this scene also led me to make a certain secret page you may have found. The house should look familiar.
