Celi comes from my comic, which you can read here: https://ac.jadinerhinestudios.com

A drawing of a woman looking to be in her early 20s sitting on a representation of the Earth. She holds in her hand a sword with devil wings, her pose is slightly leaning forward, and she is looking down at us from the side. Devil wings protrude from her back.

Her expression is that of someone arrogant and confident in herself, almost enjoying whatever chaos may ensue.

One of my favorite Celi images. I have a brand when it comes to images like this and it's Mystical Maximalism with a bit 'o Dada Language Takes. Always meant to be open to interpretation, so have at it!

The actual title of this is "Attack and Dethrone God," not for the political associations or memes, but because 1) it fits with what the theme of this illustration is, and hearkens to a plot point in Celi's story in the comic and 2) that's such a freaking cool phrase.

(I will probably still likely use the phrase as a piece of dialogue, and will have to make clear that it's nothing to do with politics :zerotwouhoh: )

I went with "Sacred and Wild" instead, after the song by Powerwolf, covered by EPICA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmYnNxX5ZkU

Color picture of a woman with bat/devil wings floating above a water basin. The woman appears to be smiling at the skull floating in the water basin. The skull itself has some hair that is "growing" / floating out the water.  The skull is also staring at the woman floating above it, as if in silent answer.

The basin itself has blood splotches on it, being held by three naked figures a la Atlas holding the Earth. Lower along the pillar under the basin, is a headless figure tied to the pillar with four "screens." The headless figure's "head" is shadowed onto the pillar in a similar fashion to shadows painted onto walls after a nuclear bomb. Blood marks the outline further of the "head."

Two of the screens are hidden, backs towards to us, but the two in front have text. The one on the left says "I am the daughter of a god creature" and the one on the right says "in seinem Lebenswelt, URANIA PANDEMA OR APOTROPHIA?"

I wasn't planning to post another #tiefling quite so soon, but I was at a friend's place playing in a #DarkHeresy game last weekend and the session was being dominated by another PC's family politics, so I just got to drawing...

I draw too many characters with the same bland expression ('serene' if I'm feeling nice to myself), so I tried for a more energetic expression this time. I may have gone too far towards 'manic' though.

A red-haired young woman with golden eyes and horns growing upwards from her temples grins manically at the viewer. She has her hands planted on her hips. She's wearing a suede corset vest over a long red dress with green undergown. She's wearing a couple of golden necklaces, and a couple of golden bangles on her left wrist. She has a reptilian tail slipping out from behind her, from which hangs an iron ring of keys. The backdrop is of thick blue-grey mist.

Another drawing, another #tiefling (or #devil, or whatever other horned entity you conceive into your #fantasy world). I do draw other things occasionally.

This young lady appears to possess a draconic familiar, who perhaps the familiar has her? It seems to be clinging to her rather possessively. She doesn't seem entirely aware of where she is.

Drawing correct perspective on a curved stairway by eye is quite difficult, it turns out.

#mastoart #digitalart #procreate #DnD #ttrpg #dragon

A young woman walks down a curved flight of stairs flanked by pale marble pillars. She has pale blue hair spilling over one shoulder, green eyes, pointed ears, large upward curving horns and a devil's tail. Draped across her shoulders is a small dragon-like creature, which clings to her possessively. She's wearing dark teal jacket with long frilled sleeves, a cravat with a jewel mounted over the collar and thigh-high leather boots over trousers. This is the full-length version of the drawing.

@georgetakei George I simply don't understand why #transkids #trans #kids frighten conservatives do much.

It has been quite some time since we saw a headline like "12 year old #trans #boy shoots up school killing 20 students".

Those have all been #cisgender boys and men, mostly from #conservative hetero families.

Perhaps conservative #politicians are like priests. #Confronted by their own ability to be swayed towards having #relationships of a non #heteronormative nature with these children and see the #devil in the #temptation.

They shouldn't worry too much since they have those #delicious 16 year old #pages readily #available in the #senate to satisfy all their secret desires that they can't discuss with their #pastor or #priest.

Did you know that it's rather #dangerous to travel on roads in #Grenada?

You might encounter a #beautiful #woman and be tempted to go with her... But she'll lead you into the forest, vanish, and you'll die a lonely and slow #death from exposure.

Your demise will be brought on by La Diablesse, a woman who sold her #soul to the #devil. In return she received some magic and eternal youth...

... except for the ugly face and the cow's foot.

#GothicAdvent Day 5:

The Dropping Rock #Sacred Spring and #HolyWell is one of those mysterious and ancient places that hide away on the #IsleOfWight. The #CunningFolk of the island believe it received its name because was one of the places where the ancient #Devil #Stones was dismantled. The stones were worked and turned into the well and the Dropping Rock arch.

They say that it was in the deepest and darkest time of the year that works started to dismantle the Devil Stone. As they lay the rocks in formation and they touched the holy water, each stone screamed as the water bound the evil within.

Dropping, and dropping, through fern and through heather,
E'en in the summer noon's sultriest weather;
Still the hard rock is its water bestowing,
Where the rank weeds germ, and the rushes are growing.

Gently and evenly falls the clear shower,
The work of a mighty, invisible power;
Streaming not, running not—dropping alone,
Through the centuries past, and the long ages flown. -- The Vecta Garland 1860

A picot of a moss filled well with leaves floating on the clear cold water
An ancient archway, made of stone in the undergrowth.
