This boy has found himself transformed into a naga and is now wandering the forest
Monster Folk had been a bit of a problem for the most part ever since they appeared. Lacking a sense of civilisation like humans, monster folk tended to roam around forests, ruins of cities, and their other natural environments. while some are docile and curious enough to approach people with friendly intentions, usually, when humans wander too far into their territories, they find themselves ‘attacked’ by the overly excited monster people.
These beautiful and often adorable monsters find it hard to control themselves when it comes to humans and delight in trying to 'convert’ them, transforming them into one of their own.
This young boy was no different. Having gotten himself lost in the forest, he’d narrowly escaped some other monsters, but became the victim of a naga. Soon after, he found himself slowly waking as he was released, being gently lowered to the forest floor as a long serpentine body followed.
For a while, he was confused and a little scared, but his new tail was rather stunning, so maybe it wouldn’t be all bad. And he couldn’t remain sitting in the forest forever, so he began moving.
Now, the still lost and anxious boy with a brand new body found himself moving through the forest on a shiny blue tail, wondering if he could find his way home, and if he’d even be welcome there any more. At least if all else fails, he could still be welcome here in the forest among the other monster folk.
This took me ages to finish XD Clip Studio really started to get grumpy with me after doing the background and having way too many layers XD
Also damn the background and general atmosphere and colour balancing was so hard >.<But it was fun! And I’m really happy with how this looks like omg. I hope the lining and colours did it justice too haha. Been working on it a little too long to tell. But the sketch was great!
Also, was super unsure of what to title this piece XD definitely “lost and something” xD was originally “lost and just transformed”
*air horns* I didn’t forget to do the thing I totally made up a few years ago as a joke that probably some people also thought of!
I had a Pathfinder 2nd edition character I was testing things with (I did my best to convert the centaur race over cus I love centaurs XD) so I felt like drawing him.
I designed a weapon for funsies XD I just wanted to make like a super legendary bard weapon okay?
So it’s a transformable weapon that goes between a Bow/Harp and a Greatsword/Flute
Well I don’t know if Greatsword is the right category cus that makes it sound super big and heavy, but would definitely be a 2h sword. also you’d need 2h to play the instrument part anyway haha.
So imagine, for the harp form these beautiful mythril strings sending their voice through the body of the tool, crafted with very high quality materials too, and resonating through the singing steel blades to create a beautiful bell-chime sort of twist to it, while also resonating around these crystal shards to create a super sparkly gemstone sort of feel to it too.
And of course with the flute form the sound also resonates through these things to create a lovely beautiful sound both deep and pretty.
Though I think the design didn’t go exactly as I’d planned and still when I think about the design what I imagine for the blades and such don’t look the same as this. but it was really hard trying to design this in a way that, even if you do need a little bit of stretching of the imagination, it’s at least maybe possible for the transformation to make sense XD So I sketched the parts out and moved them all around constantly to try and get what I wanted
A creature I drew today as a design for a small DnD campaign I was planning. Long story short it’s basically the reformed form of the final monster after it turns good again X3
Less colourised version:
As it’s previous form is a monster born of an evil power released by greed and possessing a girl who’s heart was filled with despair, bringing misfortune and malevolence; causing negative emotions to grow and good ones to shrink… This form is it’s opposite, as it evolves and regains its conscience, it becomes a spirit of fortune and benevolence, bringing good feeling, patience and enlightenment, and decides to act as the guardian for the town in the campaign to correct its wrongdoings. (and because it is literally it’s home since it’s the spirit reincarnated from a girl who lived there)
I wanna give it a fancy name :3 something with Lapis in it probably
It initially was just gonna be a rough sketch of what it vaguely looks like but as you can see I got carried away XD
Couldn’t think of a better title haha. but then it is a bit of a better title. This is an old one but it isn’t getting any more finished than this so I just thought I’d wrap it up and post it. I do need to draw more Centaurs haha. and more general fantasy stuff. Especially for my fantasy world of Kyrinos.
I’ve been playing Buck: Legacy a lot recently and really wanted to make some fanart of the Necromancer boss Ebony Bloodrose. I like to imagine this is what happens if she defeats our Adventuring party!
Buck: Legacy is an RPG card game where you play as a pony Adventurer and go on quests to beat up Monsters, It’s really cool so you should definitely go check it out right now! A lot of hard work goes into it and it’s a great game! http://buckcardgame.com/buck-legacy
been playing Fable II lately and it reminded me of a steampunky daydream I ended up turning into Fable lore (Post F-III I think) and the main character is a gunsmith’s apprentice with a great creativity who starts working on a sword and gun fusion in secret. one day some bandits attacked Bowerstone and killed his master along with many other people and he ended up finishing the gun in a hurry and fending them off with the guards and his friends, vowing for revenge.
I don’t wanna go into the whole thing cus I have like, most of a whole story in my head xD I actually should write it as a fanfic sometime but I have a ton of fanfics I wanna make and no motivation.
Anywho this is his weapon, which he named after his fallen mentor, Gunemiir. Gunamir, i dunno, some spelling like that xD pronounced (goon-neh-meer) Just the first thing that popped into my head and I thought it sounded fancy. sounds German.
It fires pretty powerful bullets of which are unique to this particular weapon, 8 shots total in each magazine. yeah it has like a revolver barrel system but he made them more like magazines (which is pretty interesting by Fable’s old-era steampunk standards xD) for quick reloading. it’s not too slow at firing either.but he has to make his own ammo when he has time to, which makes them expensive and rare.
Haven’t drawn Xai in a while. especially not in his naga form. Trying out new styles and colouring techniques here. been in a big naga mood lately. maybe I’ll draw Cherche again at some point, or some others.
Ended up doing a forest background cus awesome lighting effects XD worked nicely. he’s so adorable.
My backgrounds are improving too. —
