Hi hello I am returning just for art and chaos a little bit over break (speaking of chaos apparently I dont get my user back for 180 days oh no)no promises on consistency! I will just be choosing to draw whatever interests me as I know Im going to be incredibly bored for the next few weeks. Please dont offer any pets or currency as I am not at all active here. I *will* accept art trades if you wish, and those will always end up with higher effort art from me as I actually get something out of it besides practice. Here are some examples:
shading and background n all the good stuff (highest effort):
shaded (ish) and lined and colored (fairly high effort):
Colored sketch (medium effort):
Sketch (fairly low effort):
Some things to keep in mind:
-I am doing this for free in my spare time so quality depends on my motivation. Itll fluctuate a *lot* as we go.
-Do not try to pay me with sylestia currency!! I will say no! and be mildly annoyed!
-I will prioritize art trades
-I might just not draw something! Be warned! I am inconsistent!
-I also might draw something over and over again if I like it
Things I will not draw!:
-furries/anthros
-robots probably (I mean you can try but no promises)
-anything against the guidelines
Things that I am not good at but am willing to try!:
-intricate details
-clothes (I really need practice so go crazy!!!!!!)
-shoes
-hands
-claws
Things I would like to draw!:
-people with wings
-more than one character interacting with another/with a cool dynamic
-size difference <3
-fighting poses
aaaand last but not least! things that will help me give you good art!:
-references
-description of character personalities
-pose references/ideas
more information is always better. If you leave me a whole essay about your characters I will be *so* happy you have no idea.
let me know if you have any questions!!!!!!!

could you maybe draw my character willow? i've been looking to get some art of him for quite a while now!
here he is and a bit of info :]
personality: Almost always smiling under his mask, gets unreasonably excited about anything that peeks his interest (typically birds and fluffy animals). He is super energetic and loves to chat non stop, however at first glance he comes off as a bit rude or "too quiet" because he cannot be his true self around strangers
physical: One of his wings is white, one black. He has a scar from the side of his lip all up his cheek (hence the mask) and his eyes are slightly different shades of green
I can also offer my own art :] like an art trade, if this interest you I'd love to know if you have any character you'd like me to draw!

*takes off glasses*
*rubs eyes*
*blinks*
Mushroom, is that really you?
haha apologies for the cringy roleplay. I coudn't resist :P
Anyhow, I do have two characters that do need to have art of them interacting. Here's Harvey Johnson (he goes by Harv) (Fullbody ref) and his older-by-a-year brother, The Scientist. Harv is the energetic one of the duo, happy, carefree-ish, almost always animated, while The Scientist is more reserved, a stoic, often standing still. Harv is the caring for people type of person, while The Scientist is introverted. Despite occasionally being tired of Harv and his antics, The Scientist really does love his brother.
Harv is a whole 5 feet 7 inches, while The Scientist is 6'2". The Scientist has gray/white hair, which might not be super obvious in that ref, but that's the best ref I have for him. The Scientist has a white (always white) medical eye patch over his left eye (appears to be the right side of the image if he faces the "camera").
Harv's relationship with his brother is complicated. Harv quickly learned to what extent his brother did to protect Harv from bullies after their mother died when The Scientist was 17. Harv still loves his brother, but he wouldn't be hugging him or anything along those lines.
Towards the topic of science, the brothers are as different as yellow and purple. Harv is most eager with having fun and finding out new things about the world; The Scientist enjoys procedure and thinks science shouldn't be fun but should be interesting. Harv thinks humans should be treated with the most care one can provide; The Scientist only cares about results. Harv thinks that expirimenting is the most fun (after all, in a science project, he purposefully put too much yeast in a bottle (he was making root beer) to see what happened), while The Scientist likes the results and the analysis parts.
Here's Harv's TH and The Scientist's TH for more info.
As for poses, Harv's should be something like this:
While his brother's should be a neutral observer pose or something like this:
Harv, preferably, on the left-center, facing three quarters-ish, facing away from his brother, while his brother shoul be facing the right of the image and be right-center.
I hope that isn't too much or too picky. I hope this is also enough info. Glad to see you again, even if it isn't for long!

I've always wanted to see 2 people from different realities, both with a look of wonder on their faces reaching towards an object piercing the dimensional barrier between them (watery? ice mirror? rippling color pool?)
Jraek had finally found Worldpiercer. It floated in midair sending out waves of T'Kana like a heartbeat. Reaching for it Jraek saw...what? who? A demon? an angel? Both eerily beautiful and so...unnatural... no finneral and somehow whole without them....
Kirimis's quest for the only object that could drive away Nightfall was near it's end. Hanging suspended in solid mist was Hope's Heart. But there was ..a creature.. also reaching.... what was that trailing from it? wings? flowing hair? It is floating? flying? swimming?
Kirimis is something like a gnome with clawed hands/feet and possibly a tail
Jraek is a humanoid being with multiple wing/veils (think jellyfish tendrils)
World piercer/ Hope's Heart is a vaguely heart shaped crystal with a noticeably pointed end.

Hi Shroomy <3
I was wondering if perhaps you'd be interested in drawing my boi Cairo? I love him immensely, and even if his lore isn't completely fleshed out, I am trying to work on it (granted, it is not going as quickly as I could hope, but aaaaaa).
Cairo's race has an immense affinity with the elements - one that you can read about here, if you so wish. Tl;dr about that, tho - his affinity is with the stars, and he loves them very dearly.
I do have a love interest somewhat in mind for Cairo - the problem is that I do not yet know enough about the love interest to make for interesting drawings for you. What I can describe about this love interest, though, is this: as I mentioned, Naturekin (Cairo's race) have an immense affinity with whatever element they call home. Most of the time, they are also born into this element, so its never really a choice for them. To be one with the wind or the sea is normal for them, but they never get to choose.
And that entire point kind of...sits badly with some Naturekin. Sometimes so much so that they reject their elements completely. The only problem with this, though, is that, again, Naturekin don't really get that choice. A Naturekin cannot live without their element - the one that they are now rejecting - and so those that do reject their elements are actively dying.
To make matters worse, these Naturekin who have rejected their element (known as Arkos), are looked down upon at best and downright feared at worst. Arkos Naturekin have no home, no safety, and oftentimes no hope.
Cairo's love interest is an Arkos Naturekin. A boy who has given up. The only thing I have written about him is this, and even then, that was really...well, its a bit abstract, and it was mostly concocted with the mood I was currently feeling at the time of writing it in mind. I would strongly warn against reading it if you do not do well with certain kinds of dark subjects. The disclaimer should be on the story itself, but just in case Id like to warn you.
Edit: I am now gaining some uh, ideas for Cairo's love interest; I have now taken a bit more time to do lore. His name is Colour - and his TH page is here.
