some more sketches of Nico! it's so nice to draw him a lot like I used to😌 Songs referenced: Mystery Skulls - It's Mine Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Bad Reputation [ #OC #NicoLallas #DCM #DontCryMercy #sketch #Art #ArtSky #OcSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a sketch of Nico smoking a cigarette.
he's smiling charismatically, a cigarette slowly smoldering between his teeth, and looking up at someone (likely Niners). the wind is gently blowing some of his hair strands backwards. he's wearing a tank top with a hawaiian shirt on top.

a sketch of Nico singing Mystery Skulls - It's Mine.
he's looking upwards, eyes locked with the "camera", as a huge smile spreads on his face, teeth showing proudly, while he sings. his hair, or at least his bangs, are swooping away from his face due to the swift movement.
Nico's wearing a t-shirt and a leather jacket. a stylized crown can be seen above his head.

the text on the sketch says:
"Y'all always doubted me, doubted my energy. And now you're listening and looking at a king!"

a sketch of Nico bruised up but eager for more fighting.
he has a black eye and a bloody nose, blood dripping down to his upper lip, bubbling into a droplet near his teeth, with a few drops have seemingly fallen onto his shirt already, staining it a little.
he's smiling big, mouth open as he yells the lyrics from Bad Reputation by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. the eye with the bruise is almost fully closed while the other one is open, with the lid slightly lowered, as Nico confidently furrows his brows, eager to fight some more.
he's wearing a shirt with a leather jacket on top.

some sketches of Nico! missed drawing my mans so so much, especially in scenarios where he's having fun and/or chilling ;v; [ #OC #NicoLallas #DCM #DontCryMercy #sketch #Art #ArtSky #OcSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

2 portrait sketches of Nico.
The sketch on the left depicts Nico loudly singing along to a song he's listening to and having fun while doing so. His eyes are closed, head raised high and tilting backwards slightly, as his hair is being blown backwards by the summer breeze.
The sketch on the right depicts Nico looking very chill and smoking a cigarette. His neck is stretched outwards, the posture suggesting in the sketch suggesting that he's leaning over something. His eyelids are slightly lowered which adds to the relaxed feel, as he looks upward and to the side at something or someone. In this sketch his hair is blown back by the summer breeze as well.

"Trouble's coming but I still don't know when That's the voice that I can hear in my head I hear it over and over again" (Royal Blood - Trouble's Coming) [ #OC #NicoLallas #DCM #DontCryMercy #sketch #Art #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

A b/w sketch of Nico. (The artwork is made from Nico's PoV)
He's standing in a bathroom of a bar/club at the sink, looking at himself in the mirror. Said mirror has a spiderweb-like crack spreading from the middle, the core of it being slightly off-center. The cracked shards distort Nico's reflection here and there. On each side from the mirror is some clutter - some bottles, one of which is broken, and a paper towel dispenser. The faucet can be seen too.
Nico has an angry expression on his face, nose scrunching up as he's furrowing his brow and gritting his teeth. There's blood dripping down his nose, running all the way down his chin, some blood stained his shirt, and there's also a bruise around his left eye (right in the reflection).
He's dressed in his usual attire for off-work outings - a simple, print-less shirt, a bandana around his neck, jeans, and, last but not least, a leather jacket.

⭐️🦑Team-Up Blast!🐙⭐️ (now in color!) [ #OC #OCs #NicoLallas #Niners #SplatoonAU #Splatoon #inkling #octoling #sketch #Art #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a colored sketch of Nico and Niners in Splatoon AU (Nico is an inkling with shark features and Niners is an octoling).
they're combining their specials for a big explosion of ink, forming a huge dome in the distance, with the splashes of yellow and blue ink leading the eye towards it. Nico is popping out of the ink that's part of the frame at the bottom, while Niners stands with a brush weapon at the ready in his hands, appearing to be positioned somewhere slightly further but still next to Nico.
the background inside the frame is a stylized bunch of clouds at the horizon with a deep blue summer sky.

a b/w sketch of Niners in the ffxiv AU. he's outside in the sun, wearing a summer-appropriate outfit (aka an unbuttoned button-up shirt, a towel around his shoulders and a straw hat), looking seemingly happy.

two adoptables are looking for loving homes -- Goth Witch and Demon Serpent of the Thunderous Skies! each goes for 60 to 70 USD! [ #CharacterDesign #Monster #Dragon #Serpent #Witch #Goth #Adoptable #Adopt #Art #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

A character design of a quadruped serpentine dragon.
The dragon has a long body with lightning-shaped markings, 4 horns (2 small ones above the eyebrows and 2 big ones that curl back, flowing along with the shape of the mane), a fluffy mane that thins out into a stripe of fur on the back. The mane is supposed to represent thunder clouds.

A character design of a goth witch lady. She has dark gray skin, purple eyes and long dark purple hair with some lighter blue-ish-purple highlights/strands. She has piercings (one in her nose and 2 in her lower lip). In her hair sits a clip/accessory shaped like a stylized skull.
She's dressed in a cozy way, mostly in dark clothing with a purple accent for some of the details like the shawl (the shawl is part of the over the shoulder bit, clipped in the front with the golden skull accessory), shoes laces, fabric wrapped around her pegleg and hat, and feathers sticking out of said hat.
She holds a tall staff in one hand, said staff is adorned with a red-ish purple gem. Next to her floats a scrying orb with an image of her familiar - cat-owl.

A lovely sleepyhead cactus is up for grabs! They go for 60-70USD ;v; [ #CharacterDesign #Cactus #Sleepy #Adoptable #Adopt #Art #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

A character design of a humanoid cactus who has a very tired air about them, wearing a cozy outfit (knee-length nightgown dress, a cardigan, warm kneesocks and a sleep mask).
They're holding a shark plushy and hugging it tightly. The plushy is also wearing a sleep mask.

+ a few more versions because I like how they look

the same sketch of Niners but the outline of his eyes can be seen underneath the splash of color - his eyes lack an iris and a pupil here, completing that unnerving feel of the piece some more.

the same sketch of Niners but the stripe of color covering his eyes is gone, same as the red outline around said now non-existent stripe and line near the wound on the shoulder.

"How do you get in the mind state to kill? I need a fill Of violence to bust up the silence for real Traumatized, ain't gonna hide how I feel" (grandson - Stigmata) [ #OC #OriginalCharacter #Niners #DCM #DontCryMercy #sketch #OcSky #Art #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a sketch of Niners (a bit of a vent piece; but also crazy symbolic since Niners as a character is very much about hope and not giving up, being kind and diplomatic but here he's not like his usual self)

he's featureless for the most part, eyes fully covered by a stripe of color with some magazine and newspaper cutouts texture, as he exudes an unnerving aura.
some wounds can be seen (a hole in his shoulder, with tatters of synthetic skin sticking out, go all the way through to the other side, to his collarbone) and there's some blood running from his nose down to his chin, forming into a droplet.
there are some dull-colored shapes, similar to the thick, dull-colored stripe crossing out his eyes, where the wounds in his shoulder/collarbone are.
some red lines outline the stripe over the eyes and one line also shows the direction of how the wound on the shoulder formed. all the lines are very geometric and yet very unrefined.

Want A Slice? been wanting to draw Rex for a while and finally did so today! he belongs to the one and only @curiah.city💕 [ #GiftArt #ccRex #hyena #ArtSky #ArtTag #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a drawing of a pink hyena named Rex (he belongs to Del) <3
he's leaning forward, head resting on one hand, said hand holding a sharp, sharp knife, while the other one is on his hip
he has a snarky dangerous smile, eyelids lowered in a confident and spooky way
the background is stylized to look like a piece of steak meat, the bone in the meat is heart-shaped.
the text next to Rex reads: "want a slice?"

a little gift for the one and only @felicity.etheirys.social 🫶 [ #GiftArt #illustration #viera #ff14 #finalfantasy14 #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #ffxivart #ff14art #ArtSky #ArtTag #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

an illustration of Felicity Pawter, a viera player character that belongs to my friend

Felicity is dressed in toga-esque attire, has gold arm bracers, belt, neck and bicep accessories. A roman gladiator-like helmet sits on her head, her long bunny ears poking through the openings present on each side of said helmet. The whole outfit is very much inspired by a cosplay of Athena done by Athena Grimes.
Her hair is tied into a high ponytail with some bangs left, flowing freely towards her torso.
In one hand she has a roman gladius sword, while the other hand is depicted with the palm open, blazes engulfing the rest of that arm, with the flames crawling upwards (the shape of the flame tongues are reminiscent of the Pagos tattoo that Felicity has).
The left corner of the artwork, next to the open palm, has a burnt effect, as if it was consumed by Felicity's fire powers.
Felicity is depicted standing upright, with her body facing towards the camera but her face turned to the left.

Portraits of Saeva and Toshi for @felicity.etheirys.social 's friends! [ #Commission #ArtCommission #CommsOpen #ArtistForHire #SupportArtists #portrait #viera #hyur #ff14 #finalfantasy14 #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #ffxivart #ff14art #ArtSky #ArtTag #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a portrait of Saeva, a female viera from FFXIV (she belongs to Felicity's friend)

She has a confident look to her, hands crossed across her chest, as a self-assured smile tugs at her lips.

Saeva has some floral tattoos on her body, some being visible on her chest and shoulders, some viera tribe tattoos on her face and some face paint around the eyes.
Her hair is on the shorter side - with spiky tips pointed upwards on the back side of the hairstyle and more relaxed, downwards-pointing strands in the front, a few of the strands on the right side are long and reach past her clavicle.
She's wearing a top that leaves her shoulders open.

a portrait of Toshi, a female hyur from FFXIV (she belongs to Felicity's friend)

She has a calm. mature look to her, a slight, gentle smile on across her lips as she looks off to the side.

Toshi has dark long hair that cascades down to her shoulders. One strand of her bangs has a wine-hued gradient.
She's wearing the Virtu Myochin Haori set top.

Me too!!! I gotta draw him in it some more bc OUGGHH the levels of threat and intimidation he exudes fit him so well🙏 (also, this is what inspired it all)

doing my best to try and draw at least a little bit to get out of the depressive rut so here's a MonHun AU doodle of Niners! [ #OC #OriginalCharacter #Niners #MonsterHunterAU #MonsterHunter #sketch #Art #OcSky #ArtSky #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a b/w sketch of Niners in the Monster Hunter AU
He's wearing his hunter attire (parts of it seen in the sketch are a musketeer-like hat with a long feathery bit that leans to the left side, behind the hat, a fluffy feather cape-like garment sitting on his shoulders - it's part of the rest of the cape that can be seen strapped together by two belts behind the flappy collar -, a utility belt sitting under said cape - the belt has attachments on it for useful items and pockets -, and then underneath all that sits a tunic like the one that's part of the Quematrice's masc armor in Wilds)

Niners' long black hair is cascading downwards, some of it sittings over the front bits of the cape, while the rest is flowing behind.
His eyes are obscured by the stark shadows casted by the hat but it's easy to tell that the aura that he exudes here is very intimidating and serious.

a little thank you gift to @sipnchugartist.bsky.social for the chimken emote!💕 [ #GiftArt #portrait #roegadyn #femroe #ff14 #finalfantasy14 #ffxiv #finalfantasyxiv #ffxivart #ff14art #ArtSky #ArtTag #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a portrait of Snusnu Amazonia, a female roegadyn Warrior of Light from ff14 (she belongs to Clarissy)

She has tan skin, dark short hair with dark forest green highlights, a scar stretching upward from the mid-cheek area up to her forehead, dividing the eyebrow in two. There's also red facepaint/markings on her face - a line going across her face from one side to the other, mostly in the cheek area, but doesn't cover the nose. There are a few dots above the line on both sides of her face and also above her right eyebrow.

Snusnu is dressed in the Courtly set (the Striking set).
She's holding a piece of deepfried chicken leg with a bite taken out of it and smiling, while looking to the side. One of her cheeks is a bit more round to signify that she's still chewing the bite she took from the little chicken leggy she's holding.

gorgeous Nieve for @extrasor.bsky.social🌟 I love her so much, she's so badass! ;v; [ #Commission #ArtCommission #CommsOpen #ArtistForHire #SupportArtists #ArtSky #ArtTag #украрт #УкрАртПідтримка #cardiart ]

a flat-colored waist-up commission of Nieve, Sor's original character

She's dressed in a classy, strict-looking uniform - mostly black in color with white accents. There are some additional details on her jacket - one on the left breast depicting 2 crossed axes, facing outwards, with a crown and some stylized stars between them, and another one on her sleeve depicting a dragon-like creature in an upright position with some pointy lines below that. On her right shoulder sits a shawl of sorts - the fluffy bit has 3 long spikes coming out of it, while the rest of the shawl is more smooth and drapes down her shoulder and arm. The fluffy bit of the shawl is pinned in the front of the jacket by a talon-like accessory with a few decorative ropes coming off of it, spanning across the chest right up to the aforementioned spear and crown insignia.
Nieve is standing with one arm slightly outstretched towards the "viewer" with a blue flame appearing around her palm, her fingers poking through the everchanging shape of said flame. The other arm is flexed at the elbow and curled towards the fluffy part of the shawl. Nieve is looking downwards towards the "viewer" and the flame, a confident expression upon her face.
She has quite a bit of accessories adorning her ears and top part of the hair. All of them are white in color and add to the elegance of Nieve's vibe.
