Just a friendly wolf who has a thing for green. Not like, in a weird way or anything, just platonically. This is an 18+ account, NSFW warning, etc. etc. @LTSTdrawsArts on twit! Zalia_Grieson on FA! longtailshorttemper on Disc & LongTailShortTemper on Tele!
More unfinished sketches- a pair of conjoined gnoll artificers from the volcanic lands who have two mouths yet share a stomach- not an issue until one commits to a carnivore diet while the other prefers the veg. Also, an ursine shieldmaiden and her powerful rabbit ward. Stay tuned for the future..
Unfinished, but worth sharing- A sketch page featuring Caelum and Arick joining Styx for "alone time with her boys", ending with a very round gator and the "boys" (coworkers and just friends, or so Caelum will nievely claim) stuck in a very tight spot without their britches.
Triskit's trio includes experienced feline rogue and treasure hunter Caelum, and corvid loot appraiser and party backpack Arick. Together, the three of them do anything but leave well enough alone.
The smallest member of the crew of brigands and temple-crashers that give Casta and friends pains at every turn, Triskit is almost more accessory than character. If it's not entirely obvious, she's the opposite of a Tums tablet.
All this summer, I've been writing and outlining my first full graphic novel for the Shatterworld setting. It's going to take a while.. a very long term project. I want to do it right tho, and i'm learning a lot about designing comic pages for print! I've always wanted to make something physical.
One of the first gift arts I ever received of Casta, by an artist by the name of OrionAurora on discord. As time passed, these little lizards would be developed (in a short story the writing of which is ongoing) into the Spear-Huckers, a tribal Deep Jungle race with a very particular ritual...
Unable to read, Tempus the one-tailed kitsune (@dr-whooves.bsky.social) is lured by his curiosity to investigate a Gator's maw... Realizing the kind of situation he's gotten himself into, I think the fox will carry a valuable lesson into his next revival.
Almost a follow up of the previous doodle @arcaneusserpent.bsky.social did of Khipu, it's clear Styx isn't about to be outdone in the snake gobbling sport. (And alternate poses too, which I love love love)
She's a 10 but she eats you if you can't pay your fare across the river and wears your still-conscious skull like jewelry. Normally this is a problem for any small business, but for some reason, the ferrygator's skullskiff is never idle.
Got a great commission from @gurglegluts.bsky.social featuring Styx, with a background so atmospheric it influenced the way I draw the mossier regions of the Deep River from then on!
The only thing they warn you about the Deep River is the river monsters. What's unhelpful is that the warning often comes from creatures that look like Styx, and sounds more like an invitation than advice. Smaller travelers attempting to find passage down the river had better pay their fare..
Another native to the Deep River, Styx here plays the role of antagonistic foil for Khipu- bonemancer instead of healer, ferrygator instead of fisherlizard.. Her and her party of ne're-do-wells clash against Casta's adventuring squad on every occasion that involves money, or fish.
Big lizard lady makes quick work of a snake she found in the river?? Lovely art by @arcaneusserpent.bsky.social !!
A great colored commission from @amadboii.bsky.social , and a charming artist's interpretation of what the inside of Khipu's inland workshop might look like. A stilted hut on the riverbank might not be condusive to drying and keeping herbs, after all!
Some commissions of Khipu done by artists Zokva and NoodleBread on discord! In this world, you either sit or sploot.
Pov you're a wee scrawn netted and pulled up on the muddy shores of the Deep River. River's Bank, the nearest settlement, is a bit too far to walk.. Why not take a healer's fishing barge?
Khipu is usually fairly round for an amphibian, but this is just ridiculous. She doesn't even chew them.
The greenwolf isn't the only adventurer braving the Wilds! Serving as the healer (among other things) of Casta's small party, Khipu graces the Shatterworld stage with the first full ref sheet of the group. I aim to make sheets like this for all the main cast eventually- this is called "scope creep"
A character belonging to a friend of mine, Brynvara (or Bed to her friends) She's not used to eating people whole...
Casta's many adventures have led her to places that require a quick wit, a handy spell of Capacity Boosting, and a liberal application of sword-swinging. None have yet required training on what to do if a snake goes up your butt. Commission for @jaspersteele.bsky.social
Youre just a lil guy, just a tiny little fella just a little guy. You need protection. Hire a bodyguard with a big sword, one you'll trust to take your life in their hands.. four'st. A stream sketch for @tirga.bsky.social , with a possible Shatterworld-setting outfit!
Commission for Sanuraka on FA, featuring @arcaneusserpent.bsky.social Maatra greets the setting sun alone in her palace every evening, content to let her fur breath in the cooling desert air. This time, however, she finds some company..
A sketchy page for @spudtheposs.bsky.social , whoms't Casta has "found" "helpless" out in the wilds and decided to do a good deed and "hide" him away from danger at her campsite. In talking about the idea, we couldn't decide how she would go about this.. so I drew both
Shatterworld is a ttrpg-inspired fantasy setting featuring twisted landscapes, diverse biomes, and leagues upon leagues of wilderness stretching between each settlement, encouraging adventurers to ply their skills in everything from exploration to good old fashioned monster fighting. I paint this :3
Ah, status effects.. Love them or hate them, you have to know what you'll be dealing with. It takes STR and CON to haul gear and weapons all over the wilds, and every extra stone of overburden eats into your capabilities. Just because your arms are free doesn't mean you're always unencumbered.
After an unspecified incident involving a certain green warrior and a lot of oob jelly, something calling itself Coobsta has been seen wandering the caves of the Sherabahl. Something's different about this Oobled mimic.. it seems to think it's the real thing.
Sam's latest Oobling broodmother experiments involve training them to form a nearly identical copy of her body, an "Oobled twin", to function as her own while in a trance state. She described it to Casta as "feeling like you've put on a lot more weight, and every part of you that can get wet is WET"
Normally, in the wild, Ooblings reproduce by finding a warm, damp place (you know, like a cave) with a higher than average current of Auo'rha.. but living bodies are full of the stuff, and when potioncrafter @samhusko.bsky.social needs to increase her pet colony's numbers, a broodmother she can be.
