When inventing a fantasy religion a lot of people a) make the mistake of assuming that everyone in fantasy world would worship the same gods and b) assume that polytheistic religions see all of their gods as morally good

This is Matt, Cassie and Jonathan, three kids living together in an ancient crime syndicate's best idea of a children's home. I am allergic to consistent design so Matt and Jonathan are not quite the same as in their mugshots version.

Dylan's band on their first magazine cover! It's not really his band, it's definitely Gem's brainchild (the woman in the middle). Dylan got roped in when Gem and Rachel heard him sing.

This so far nameless guy fights demons with his possessed sword - the spirit of Rebellion trapped in his most brutal aspect by a sinister organisation.

Propoganda poster for the king's service of elite soldiers. They're like cowboys, but on dragons, and the tool of a decaying monarchist government.

the myths and superstitions tied to tattos are also very fun because they're either 'symbolic representation of meaningful concept' or 'propellers on ass means drown less fast'
naval traditions are great also
i like sailing myths and superstitions because most of them can be boiled down to "if the ocean doesn't like you it will chew you up and spit out your bones. and if it really loves you it will swallow you whole and never let you go. good luck 👍"

This is Halley, Corb's guardians' daughter and his sister in all but name. She's on actually good terms with his dad, who technically isn't a hitman anymore.

Here's a little look at my design process - super rough and sketchy. I've modelled the background and brush on the Windows sticky notes because although the simplicity's great for me, their capacity to hold steady without crashing is terrible.
This character in in the same universe as my Friday Fight Night drawing, and the island's the place where it all goes down.

Character sheet for someone in a project I'm percolating. She's (not) having a great time! But hey, she's got cool horns for eyes.

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is superhero universes where someone ends up with the wrong powers. Like not even “oh they got powers that are dangerous to them or those around them” like Rogue or Beak or whatever. No, they got great powers with no drawbacks, just the wrong ones.
Like they want more than anything to fly and end up with super speed instead. Or they want super speed and get laser eyes. You get this once-in-a-lifetime, on-in-a-million chance that basically nobody gets, you have abilities far and above those of other people and they’re not the ones you actually want.
Like, yes, you’re grateful, but also… wouldn’t you be disappointed? Is it wrong to be disappointed? Is it fair to be disappointed?

Reth, Scion, and Thornie (left to right) are left with no choice to fight after Scion's outed as the prince of an enemy nation. Unfortunately for them, they'd infiltrated an elite military school beforehand.

Friday fight night's a well established tradition on this island, passed down generation to generation. Sam's unbeatable nature switched up some of the announcing techniques. Feat. Sam: whose undying loyalty to his friends is the only thing stopping him from living in the woods full time, Trixie: someone's little sister who wormed her way into announcing on volume and enthusiasm alone, and Luisa: who did really break a brick with her bare hands once, but is otherwise a well-balanced young woman
