Dog E. Cassiopeia - angel super sketch
There’s the Universe, Abattoir, and Knackers (the “trinity”). But they aren’t the only angels.
This is the inside view of “Dog E. Cassiopeia”, Cassi for short.
In the Taur Brazen universe - but in a different story - there sits a large cage with “Dog E-” painted on the side. The “E” is cut off by a tarp over it, so the protagonists think the spelling is just a butchered version of “doggie”. After releasing what looks to be a tiny Rottweiler creature inside, the tarp is taken off. The “E” starts the word “eater”. Cassiopeia is her real name. Her nickname is the Dog Eater, for her insatiable appetite for Canidae. And there’s a dog show nearby…
While the Universe represents everything, Abattoir starlight, and Knackers dark matter, Cassi represents the expansion of the universe. She generally stays about the size of a Rottweiler. She does expand when eating. This is a glimpse of her interior during a feeding frenzy. Actual exterior concept art is still a work in progress.
Cassi is an unrelated angel to the “trinity” family. The Universe created Abattoir (their daughter) and Knackers (their child). Cassi and other angels (number currently unknown) generally remain distant. Any non-familial interactions are standoffish, maybe out of respect or fear of each other.
Cassi is a direct inspiration from the kennel-thing in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The fact that she’s a Rottweiler is not intended to denote an aggressive dog and her focus on consuming dogs is not meant to resemble hatred on my part. It’s simply a love for kennel-thing (my favorite monster), fascination with the anatomy of dogs, and spinning this fascination into a nightmare fantasy; and not intended for commentary. The Rottweiler is used for a reason throughout the story…
Hung up on the Moorland Monster
Love these goofy goobers.
Expanding on this and changing a little lore.
I wrote a whole page of fun information about them below - - -
Floof page wip
Molding all that fur~
Page 87 draft
It’s always so much easier for me to start a page than finish it.
When there’s less sketch, the dialogue will match the background. Questions? Answers will be right there.
Front facing gurl
Fumbled my drawing schedule. Rebuilding it. Thank you for your patience~
I don’t think I have an updated true front-facing ref for Taur, so here’s an attempt~!
All idols are female, in the image of their creator, Mother, even if every idol operator inside of them is male. Technically she/they, “they” referring to the operators, and “she” being the idol herself.
Perspective Practice - and idol redesign
Getting some practice in while I’m recovering from exhaustion. Playing with the design of Barker’s idol.

Sketchie while I take care of full-time and personal work~
Idol cloaks are their skin. If you rip their cloak off, you skin them alive.
However, if you wanted to hide from the sun… or someone… you CAN hide… near their nether regions. There, the cloak lifts off the body a bit, much like coat tails or a sleeve, to allow hind legs (or wings or tails) to run unencumbered. It is a bit sensitive though… and you should only do it if it’s dire, or if you have consent. Don’t touch butts unless you have consent, please.
Almost ready!
I dislike drawing inanimate objects that aren’t characters themselves. This is bed. Bed died.
More 86 WIP
Mental health not the best, but still chipping away at this~!
Thank you for your patience.
Barker practice
Stopped the presses to take another crack at drawing practice. This time, focusing on a complicated character design. Actually reduced detail in the legs for sanity.
Let’s see. He is scared easily; middle-aged; a tarantula; walks on walls when avoiding conflict (or scared); and is voiced by Arin Hanson (in my head).
His goggles are based on a phoropter. He can take them off, but he’s completely blind without them and has to rely on his legs to guide him around if they get stolen by someone as a prank. His eyes are not as big as those lenses.
He is venomous (via the chelicerae on the sides of his head) and completely forgets this fact, even during dire straits. No, he cannot web. Yes, he loves cookies.
