A digital portrait of an anthropomorphic deer, Edwin, with brownish-orange fur and large antlers, drawn by @theTundraGhost. He's wearing an earthly-colored poncho and is smiling slightly as he brushes an oak leaf with his fingers. Edwin is nestled in autumn-tinted nature: like orange oak leaves and acorns. Further back is a forest bathed in an enchanting gold glow.

I'm so blessed to have worked with so many amazing artists! Here's a batch of art of my deer boy Edwin. 🥺 #BluePitHype Featuring artwork by: TheTundraGhost Me DanoGambler capycorn

An aesthetic board of 9 images in warm, earthy colors. At the center is a portrait of an anthropomorphic deer.

Featuring images of:
An autumn forest
foraging
shabby clothing
wild magic
harmony with nature

A traditional illustration drawn with ink and marker. It features an anthropomorphic deer wearing an earthly-colored poncho with his head bowed sorrowfully. He's holding a bundle of dirt in his hands with a wilted flower as tears roll down his cheeks. The background is washed with gray and black. Lyrics to AURORA's "Soulless Creatures" are written.
"I wouldn't mind if I can't find, I can't find
Anything to save our kind"

A sketch of an anthropomorphic deer, Edwin, in an action pose. The drawing is at a low angle, looking up at him. He's knelt down, one hand planted in the grass while the other is twirling his staff in the air. Magical energy swirls around him, his earthly-colored poncho flapping in the wind. Edwin's face is tight and determined.

A digital illustration of an anthropomorphic deer, Edwin, walking through a forest with a content smile on his face. He has brownish-orange fur and is wearing a long poncho of various earthly colors. In one hand is a staff with a yellow crystal, and the other hand is held out to a vine of flowers, which curl affectionately around his fingers. The forest behind him is bathed in warm colors and is textured like a storybook.

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· Jul 9

Edwin is the MC of The Vagrant of Amberweald because he's the self-appointed protector of the forest and, thus, is one of the few people actually putting in the work to save it from a parasitic force. #BluePitHype

🚨 TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 After 3 years, I'm pleased to reveal the final title for DeerWizardWIP! So allow me to reintroduce to you all ✨ The Vagrant of Amberweald ✨

A digital illustration of an anthropomorphic deer, Edwin, kneeling in the grass. He has orange-brown fur and a long earthly-colored poncho. One hand is holding a magic staff, while his other hand is pressed on the grass. Edwin is looking down, his face serene.

Below him underground is the old tentative book title, DeerWizardWIP. Behind him, flowering vines sprout from the ground, spiraling around the book's final title, The Vagrant of Amberweald.

A4: Hi I love puns. I'm that guy. 😁 Also whatever humor this is. 👇😂 #QueerWritersChat

Man: "My wife is going into labor what do I do?"
Operator: "Is this her first child?"
Man: "No, this is her husband."

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· Jun 27

A2: It difficult for a piece of media to make me outwardly cry. That said, "A Portrait for Tomorrow" by @raynarde.bsky.social made me UGLY CRY. I got dressed for work with tears streaming down my face. 😭 Highly recommend! 👍 #QueerWritersChat

Hi this is my noble bunny brawler, Reginald. He loves lifting weights and having tea parties. ^_^

Free Day: Here's a snippet of what I've written recently! Deer boy's mad. 😬 #QueerPrompts

He willed his rage through the ether. If the Blight could perceive emotion, it will know his fury.

“I said GET OUT!” Edwin roared and swung his arm. Magic pulsed from his body, sending leaves and twigs disintegrating into the air, showering him and his companions in ash.

The magical tendrils retracted. Edwin didn’t know whether he had scared away the predator, or if it was simply sated from its kill. But regardless, the Blight vanished back into the Flow, where it was no doubt searching for its next victims.

Edwin glared daggers as ash collected on the bridge of his muzzle. The Blight would pay.

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· Jun 19

Not well. 🥲 While Edwin is more than capable of defending himself, he knows that if he fights back, it'll be the weird forest hobo that'll be thrown sent to jail. Or the gallows. 😰 #QueerPrompts

He clenched his jaw from the pain as the ewe assailed his back and sides with her stomps and kicks.

Perhaps he deserved this. How pathetic did he look curled into a ball, cowering before a sheep in a fancy dress?

“Alright, alright, Cumulous. You’ve had enough,” Izolda moaned, more out of annoyance than compassion.

Cumulous got one last kick in, right in Edwin’s cheek.

Before the buck could act, he was once again pressed into the dirt. All he could see was the women’s feet. Behind them, flowers drooped, weeping helplessly for him.

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· Jun 13

🦌 Edwin looks at himself in a full mirror for the first time and he takes a moment to take in his own body. 🥺 #QueerPrompts

A mix of emotions swirled within him as he stroked a finger on one of his spots. Melancholy, sorrow, but also a hint of…pride. He liked the way he looked. He liked that he inherited a part of his mom that he loved so much.

I'm not quite ready for a Pride graphic for DeerWizardWIP, but here's something for my epic, KINSHIP OF AEITHALIS. 😊 #LGBTQWriteAThon

A traditionally drawn illustration using ink and colored pencil on toned paper. It features a large group of anthropomorphic reptile and lupine characters in a Pride parade. Various LGBTQ+ flags are displayed in some form on the characters -- some obvious, while others more subtle. There are characters lifted on others' shoulders, a couple nuzzling one another, while others are more quiet and off to the side.

There are labels throughout displaying the character names and their identities:
Irithmir - Exploring
Dinn - Aromantic/Asexual
Lawk - Queer Mess
Malamedes - Aromantic/Pansexual
Hunt Master Roibeard - Non-binary
Shaerie - Bisexual
Elder Eurydike - Pansexual
General Gorgion - Heckin' Gay

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· Jun 5

I describe Edwin's fashion theme as "scarecrow". 😂 Purely practical, he doesn't own any fancy clothes or a varied wardrobe. So he takes very good care of the clothes he does own. 😌 #AwesomeCharacters

I envision all my stories as animated, so all my fan-casts are voice actors! That said, I'm so bad at associating my characters with actors. It's hard for me to find a real voice that matches the one in my head. But I do have one! Jennifer Hale would be perfect as Mariette. 😊 #MemeMay

An aesthetic board of 9 photos for a fox mercenary, Mariette. A photo of a fox is in the center. The left column has monochrome photos of dueling, fleeing, and a lock and key. The center has rapiers and battle. The right column has warm-colored photos of a fox and her kit, a young girl with a flower basket, and a cozy brick house.

A3: Yes and no. Edwin doesn't know how to heal *people*, but he can use his magic to heal flora! 🌼🌳 #QueerWritersChat

Edwin’s bruised chest swelled and his ears fell. “I’ll make it better,” he whispered.
He touched the ground, tapped into the Flow, and directed some magic into the ivy. New growth budded off the burnt vines.
Edwin smiled a little, gingerly thumbing a leaf. The ivy curled affectionately around his fingers before he rose. The nearby trees fretted over him. “I’ll be okay, thanks,” he murmured, hoarsely.

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· May 18

Reginald's boar maid, Gairovald, has a habit of sneaking up on people and delivering dry sass. 😂 #AwesomeCharacters

He dried himself, put on the robe and stepped out of the washroom feeling like a new deer. He glanced around the hallway wondering how to call—
“Have a good bath, Mr. Batcher?”
Edwin jumped and squealed, whirling around to find Gairovald standing there behind him. He swore that boar wasn’t there a second ago. He sensed for magic, but found none.
“Good gods,” Edwin hissed.

Tylor E Kunkle@tylorkunkle· May 16

I've had this drawing partially done for months, but I can't decide how I want to color it. Colored pencil would take forever with the vines, but I'm not sure if I'm confident enough with markers yet. 🤔

An unfinished drawing on toned paper. An anthropomorphic deer in a poncho is inked. He's lying on his side in a peaceful sleep. He has his hand reached out. Sketched vines embrace him, affectionately curling around his fingers.

After shedding blood together in a fight to save the Forest, Reginald treats Edwin to a tea party! (Featuring Gairovald the boar maid) ☺️

Gairovald returned wheeling out a small cart that had a three-tiered stand, a teapot, and cups. Edwin’s eyes bulged and his jaw hung loose when Gairovald set the stand on the table. His eyes were dazzled by an array of miniature sandwiches with no less than three different types of bread stuffed with a combination of cucumber, shaved carrot, hummus, cheese, spinach, bean sprouts and pesto.
The maid then brought out the ornate tea set with various flowers painted on them, and poured the floral-scented tea.

This chaotic alignment chart was shared on a Discord server and I had to do it. 😂 Featuring: Kanaak / Edwin Mariette (stand-in photo) / Lawk Reginald Famena / Dinn 👇 Art credits

An alignment chart with a series of chaotic and unhinged categories such as "Would fight god behind 711", "Big parent energy", and "Cracker Barrel arson charge"
