I used my female base mesh to make a 3D model of my old OC Nadjela of Batela. #3dmodeling #blender #african #blackwoman #originalcharacter #art
My female base mesh is now complete! #3dmodeling #blender #female #african #blackwoman #art
Marker doodle of a stegosaurid from my prehistoric-fantasy world that is called a "plateback". #fantasy #worldbuilding #creaturedesign #prehistoric #dinosaur #art
Still tweaking... #3dmodeling #blender #african #blackwoman #art
A doodle of an ancient-era pirate lady from my sketchbook. No name or backstory for her yet, but I wanted her to look like an African/Southern European mix in terms of ancestry. #characterdesign #fantasy #art
The more I tweak my female base mesh in Blender, the more gorgeous she appears. #blender #3dmodeling #art
Historical headcanon time! This infamous image is a reasonably accurate portrait of Ptolemy I Soter. #ancient #macedonian #egyptian
A couple of base meshes I have modeled in Blender for later use in character creation within the program. I rather like how the female base mesh came out, personally. #3dmodeling #blender #art
It being the 4th of July today made me want to doodle a Native American huntress. After all, you can't get much more American than a Native American. #nativeamerican #native #indigenous #art
A full-body drawing of my OC Zaynab Bit-Zabbai, Ahrabiyyan warrior queen of Al-Batra. #originalcharacter #fantasy #ancient #arab #middleeastern #art
Concept art for an Ahrabiyyan camel skirmisher from my ancient-era fantasy world. #fantasy #worldbuilding #ancient #arab #middleeastern #art
And here's a portrait of her love interest, Julio Antonio of Valerium. #originalcharacter #fantasy #ancient #roman #art
My art buddy @dualmask.bsky.social recently experienced a personal tragedy, so I drew his OC Amari to cheer him up. My condolences to him and his family. #giftart #art
A huntress stalks a herd of savanna hoofers from atop a rocky overhang. #prehistoric #fantasy #african #illustration #art
Lineart before I go to bed tonight. #lineart #prehistoric #fantasy #illustration #art
Thumbnail sketch for a prehistoric-fantasy illustration in which a huntress stalks some grazing Mesohippus-like mammals on the open savanna. Those purple things in the background to the lower right are sauropods, or longnecks as they're known in the setting. #prehistoric #fantasy #sketch #art
Defenders barrage a ravenous blademaw with rocks from the rampart protecting their village! #dinosaur #prehistoric #fantasy #african #art
Another thumbnail sketch for another illustration set in my prehistoric-fantasy world. Here we have defenders on a village wall throwing rocks at an attacking blademaw (allosaur). #thumbnailsketch #sketch #dinosaur #prehistoric #fantasy #art
The work of comic book art legend John Buscema inspired me to try emulating his rendering style in marker. It didn't work out that well, but ah well, you can only come so close to the greats. #comicbookstyle #prehistoric #fantasy #african #blackwoman #warriorwoman #art
Boog here is not that eager to see you. (I didn't have a specific hominin species in mind for this one, but if I had to place him anywhere, it would be the transition between Homo habilis and Homo erectus.) #hominin #hominid #caveman #prehistoric #art
In another world during another age, a mighty deathjaw prowls among megalithic ruins. #fantasy #prehistoric #dinosaur #illustration #art
Thumbnail sketch for a prehistoric-fantasy illustration in which a "deathjaw" (the setting's equivalent to our Tyrannosaurus rex) hunting among ancient megaliths. #thumbnailsketch #sketch #dinosaur #fantasy #art
