Fun Background Experiment. Featuring Spooky Floating City.

Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.

Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.

A young black woman with a wide stance stands on a purple stage. Her back is to the viewer but she is looking over her shoulder and smiling defiantly. She's playing a dark purple guitar with gold tuning pegs and a black strap, a cord leads out of frame to an amp. Her hair is short and natural, with the strands that frame her face dyed red. She has two gold piercings in her ears. She wears a jean vest with a black sword enveloped in flame stitched on the back, long green pants, and red boots. She's silouetted by a blue spotlight in front of her and it to the side by blue light.

18 and ready to scream. Meet Chel, the lead singer and guitarist of Flame Blade, Kira and Midas's band. She is sooooo fun to draw.

A skeletal hand lies in a trail of blood, reaching towards a kneeling young woman in a red cape trimmed with gray wolf fur and buttoned with a canine tooth. It conceals her shoulders, but where her hands should be are gray, wolf paws resting on her long gray skirt. She wears a black shirt and brown belt. Her head is bowed beneath her hood and her black , jagged hair covers her eyes. Blood drips from an impassive mouth. A pink crescent moon hangs above her in a dark blue sky filled with stars. She kneels in a gap between two rows of pines. The ground is snowy. In the upper left and lower right, there's a capital A that looks like it's made of scratch marks. In the upper right and lower left, there's a pink geometric heart with four bloody claw slashes though it. This is an ace card, and overlaid over the image is a pattern mesh of white diamonds to make it look cheaply printed.

Another red riding hood card, this time the ace. Featuring murder, a cornerstone of any good fairy tale. My, what big hands she has.

Will dnd turn me into a furry? Mayhaps! Introducing my dnd character Ruka, a tabaxi fathomless warlock/swashbuckler rogue multiclass and an absolute fucking bastard.

Image ID: A cat person based on serval (yellow spotted wildcat with black spots and a striped tail) faces forward and stands on a rope, feet claws wrapped around it. His right hand holds the rope; the left holds a red spyglass with gold rings. The top of his left ear is torn off; the outer rim of the right is studded with gold jewelry. He wears a gold triangular necklace. His red shirt has bell shaped sleeves and poofy wrists and black crossed stitching in the front. His pants are brown and tied with a brown cord. His tail wails behind him. He looks concerned and focused. Behind him, the sky goes from pink at the bottom to sky blue in the middle to dark blue at the top. Puffy cumulus clouds drift across it.

Tasty tart, inspired by a strawberry rhubarb tart I had from the local vegan restaurant and still dream about to this day. Fell off the face of the earth for a bit (moved across the country and started a new job) but now that I’m settled posts should be more regular.

A queen playing card divided in half by a diagonal black line. that ends just a little above the bottom left corner and just a little to the left of the top right corner. The bottom fourth of the page is a field of snow, and above it is a dark blue sky with scattered white stars. The middle third of the canvas is covered with geometric pine trees textured with darker green lines. Near the right edge on the midline on the painting is a pink crescent moon. The bottom right is dominated by the front half of running gray wolf with a diamond red eye, sharp white teeth, and a lolling red tongue. The top left is dominated by a running woman with short black hair that frames her face and covers her eyes. Her mouth is a straight line. Her back arm and leg are hidden. Her gray skirt hikes above her raised knee. She wears black leggings, a red-brown belt and a black, long sleeved shirt. Her front elbow is bent and her arm is raised. The bicep bears a white triangular pauldron with a red brown strap. Her hand is bared despite the cold. A red hood covers her ears and the cape billows out behind her. It is trimmed with gray wolf fur and bound with a white tooth secured with black strap. In the upper left and bottom right corner, there is a capital Q shaped like a diamond and made of scratches. In the upper right and lower left there is a geometric heart with four red scratch marks through it.

Another day, another red riding hood concept. This time in playing card form. Love the queen card.
