Be kind, We all have rent to pay, thank you for your time.

Given the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, I decided I wanted to open up commissions to try and help out in any way I can. As such, I opened up comms!!! 100% of the proceeds will be going to the charity Care for Gaza, and proof will be attached with each piece of art.

If you're interested, please feel free to DM me!

"Wingless"

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

“Dragonfall”

There are specific mythical creatures connected to each magic type in the aercelei universe. This is my interpretation of dragons, which were the fire magic creatures in the story.

The dragons were the third magic creatures to be born, after the Embassy and the baskilisks respectively. Due to their fire magic, they were extremely hotblooded creatures who had the ability to both breathe fire and the ability to regulate their extremely high body heat to the point where they could set something on fire at will by simply touching it. They also had the ability to consume metals, melt them down in their stomachs, and then lace that metal though their wings, horns, and the gaps in their scales. The metal acted as a sort of armor by covering up the weak spots of the dragon.

However, their connection to fire magic was eventually their downfall, as a great unnatural global freeze occured. Due to their need for the heat that was being snuffed out at an almost instantaneous pace, they all died out, though some fell a bit slower than others. That's what this lovely illustration is depicting. Very fun, I know!

If you have any questions or general thoughts about the piece or lore, feel free to express them in the comments below!

(Edit: I have no clue why the quality became so bad on here. Feel free to tap for better quality if you want!)

Different versions and info below the cut:

Here's a ref of my gryphon oc, Emeir, a half booted racket-tail hummingbird and half cinammon tabby cat! I’ll be posting info about my interpretation of gryphons as a species here eventually, but in the meantime, here's some info on Emeir themself:

Unlike most of their kind, Emeir has struck out on their own to live in bird society. With their small size, ability to hover, and most importantly their remarkable interest and ability for working on machines, Emeir is incredibly adept at fixing up and improving airships both in and out of ports. Because of how heated it can get within the airships, they wear earrings made out of gems instead of metal. They also seem to have a concerning obsession with volatile materials, and are willing to risk their life in jobs no bird would ever willingly take if they had any other choice just for "the challenge of it".

Alright, the first oc piece that I’m planning on posting, and likely my favorite! It's a drawing of the Little Hare watching starflies outside his window (as you can probably tell, starflies are similar to fireflies) I actually wrote a bit of a short story that included them a good while ago, so I'II include it down below, even though the drawing isn't really depicting that exact scene! As I’m kind of a beginner writer, I’d love to hear any constructive criticism y’all might have!

The Little Hare leaned on the windowsill, staring into the moonlit forest outside.

"Look! There's starflies!" the Little Hare gasped, sitting up in excitement.

"Mmm?" The Fox King replied.

"Yeah, they're right outside!" The Little Hare leaned in even closer to the window, nearly touching his nose to the glass. "They're so beautiful! I love how...um...uh." The Little Hare glanced at the Fox King, his ears falling to his back. The Fox King was intently staring at the papers on his desk. He certainly wasn’t interested in the little bugs outside. The Little Hare was probably just being a nuisance.

After a few seconds of silence, the Fox King looked up from his papers. "What were you saying kid?"

"I, uh, no, it wasn't really important. Sorry."

"Rigel, we've talked about this. You can't just stop mid sentence, especially when it's something that you're obviously excited to talk about."

"Um. you're sure? It really wasn't all that important. I don't think you'd be interested"

The Fox King set his papers aside. "Try me."

"Um, ok. Well I was just saying how I love the way they move and flash." The Little Hare smiled and looked back at the starflies. "We had a lot more on the plains. They would swarm across the grass and and sky and make really pretty patterns! They were a lot less green than they are here though.”

"Really? I thought they all looked the same."

"Nope! The ones we had were yellow!"

"Well, if you want, you can grab a jar and go catch some."

The Little Hare whipped his head back, dismayed. "Oh, no! They're a lot prettier out there! And they wouldn't be happy in a jar. They belong outside." The Little Hare hesitated, glancing back out the window. "At least, that's what Ma always said...”

The Fox King got up from his desk and walked over to stand beside the Little Hare.

"You're probably right about that, kid. Not much room to flourish when you're confined." The Fox King stared out at the dancing lights of the glowing insects. "How about tomorrow night after I've gotten done with all the work, we go out together and look at them closer?"

The Little Hare looked back to the Fox King. "Really?"

"Sure. It doesn't seem like I've ever quite seen them like you seem to. Perhaps you can help me gain a new appreciation for the little insects.”

The Little Hare grinned, eyes gleaming as bright as the starflies outside. "I'd love to!"

Finally decided to try to catch this account up with all of the art and info about my ocs that I still rather like. However, before I do, I figured I should tell y’all the background of the main oc universe that I’ll be showing off. Of course, you don’t have to read all of this if you don’t want to, but it’ll give you some background so that you might better understand the pieces that I post. So without further ado, here’s the summary of the oc universe that I want to post about first:

Oc Universes and Story Info:

The Aercelei Universe

The Aercelei universe: A very informal name for the universe I'll likely be posting the most about here! It includes anthro animal characters along with (hopefully) unique spins on classical mythical creatures and original creature designs in a world that also has magic, but the magic is more elemental and more of an environmental force, and less something that most can harness (though there are clear exceptions) other than creatures made of concentrations of the different types of magic, most of these being the aforementioned different takes on classical mythical creatures. There's a mainland full of magic and smaller lands with less or no magic. On the mainland, the kingdoms are generally divided by what type of animal you are (mammal, amphibian, bird etc) and the environment you live in, though it's currently relatively peaceful between the kingdoms. This is the universe that Emeir is from!

The Little Hare and the Fox King: As the name suggests, the story with the Little Hare and the Fox King! It's meant to have a bit of a darker and more unnerving tone than the other stories, with it taking place in a forest that a certain character with future sight prophesied would burn up in a wildfire.  The Little Hare and the Fox King take a journey to try to prevent this future from occurring, and discover there's been strange and unnatural magic afoot. The characters are inspired by the entire album of Bone Crown by Marah in the Mainsail.

The bird story: don't even have a solid working name for this one, but it is the main story of the aercelei universe. The birds, who have lived free in the Highlands above the mainland without any wars for hundreds if not thousands of years, are suddenly attacked by insects, specifically bees, who hail from a land outside of the mainland (no, this is not meant to reference what the phrase the birds and the bees usually means lol) It follows Lyra and Xena as they try to make alliances and try to fend the invading force off as part of the bird army.  Very very loosely inspired by Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men (the song's the reason they are fighting bees lol).

Finally shaded it lol

I gave him clothing that was more consistent with those of other Forliidians, digitigrade legs because I thought they would make the design flow better, and a mouth to make the neck less awkward

I wanted to make a second version with the scarf covering his mouth, but I got lazy

I finally finished the set up for the ask blog! It stars Rye and Dravena, and it’s called @ask-team-grim

Silly prank

i can be your angle....or yuor angle 360°

This piece took forever, but it’s finally done! A while ago, I made a cover for a fanfic that I’m hoping to start posting soon, and I’m really happy with the result! I was going to post it once the actual fanfic was out, but it’s is taking a bit longer than I expected it to, so figured I’d post it now since I’m proud of how it looks. I probably added too many details considering on the actual sites it’s gonna be super small, but y’all get to look at it here, so it’s all good!

Comms, Comms, Comms!

You ever see some of my artwork labeled as a commission? Well then, you can get yours outside of Twitter cause I got a form set up to send some to me now!
