"Lady Lxo'vac's Very Tiring Vacation"⛵☀️
My 2D character entry to this year's Atomhawk art competition, 'Under Strange Suns'. Had a really fun time painting this snooty lady! Next vacation she's DEFINATELY hiring a nanny.
Hello there!!! I've got an ask game here juuuust for you :] also because I'm genuinely curious, like, who IS the person behind the anonymous bathtub?? We may never know.... :o
If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notes, anonymous or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog 🌻
Awwwhaha tysm!!! This is so sweet lol <3 I remain a mystery for the aeons....
3 RANDOM FACTS:
- Salted caramel is my favourite flavour of treat!
- I'm 5'11 and Very Indignant that I'm not 6ft. Emotionally I think I am. I deserve it. I wish nothing more in life than to be a hulking beast
- Rn I just looked at a badger drink coaster on my desk and it made me smile :3
Dragon colour thumbnails? Dragon colour thumbnails 💖🐉
Happy Pride Month 🌈✨God says have lots of gay sex!!!!
(hoping that the extensive censorship will be enough for tumblr to let the middle panel slide ;;👍 I’ll be selling the uncensored set at my uni end of year show!)
Sexual themes
The true nature of the mushroom pope (”The Voice”) revealed, Petr and his new human friend - Raphael - conspire to take them down for good! (An assassination performed by two 12 year olds can't be that hard, right?)
When finishing this painting I thought it’d be fun to mock it up into a mid-game menu screen concept :) 🍄
Iteration work for Petr. I was taking inspiration from historical catholic vestments for his Vessel robes design, and trying to find a balance between ostentatious and innocent.
Introducing Petr, the protagonist of my Divine Decay uni project - he’s a young, recently chosen Vessel of the Voice on his first crusade up to the surface world! Unfortunately something goes... wrong, during the battle, and he’s left stranded in the wilderness, hundreds of miles from his mycellium network, and with only a human for company.
(Boy, I sure hope he doesn’t discover any divine heresies while exploring ruins on the way back that will fundamentally alter his worldview!)
- devotion -
The first key scene illustration from last year’s Divine Decay uni project, featuring Petr (will share soon!) receiving his missive from the Voice of the Spore 🍄✨
Exploratory thumbnails for my uni project Spore:Divine Decay from back in late 2021. It follows the story of a young boy from an underground, church-led society of mushroom people who worship a pope-like figure known as the Voice of the Spore.
The purpose of these thumbnails was to push silhouette, and establish a fashion for the underground society, getting a feel for what everyday people might look like in it. Primary inspirations were catholic vestments, and (loosely) 14th century italian fashion.
Some creature designs for a uni project last year, based in an underground society of mushroom people! (more of that coming soon 👀)
A series of quick fashion studies from uni last term :D

Illustrations from another Fox&Wit dust jacket commission last year, this time for The Ballad of Perlious Graves - written by Alex Jennings. (I’d definately reccomend a read! His writing style is very engaging.)
Some character designs I created for my uni course last year as part of a “trope smashing” brief! I really enjoyed how these guys turned out - I see them as a private investigative pair in a fantasy victorian-esque setting, with perhaps some sci-fi elements. And yes, they’re husbands.

Said drawing exercise from the other day - I took a selection of images of real world animals and objects, randomly picked one of each and gave myself 2 minutes to sketch a dragon from them.
As someone who struggles with working speedily sometimes, I found it was really beneficial and I really like some of the concepts it generated!
Some very quick dragon concepts, based off of a drawing exercise I did the other day with a selection of random reference images!
