multifandom spanning several genres. i am cursed with loving the minority ships in said fandoms, same with the side characters. on a lot of defense squads. the internet has ruined me, but i've accepted my fate, albeit with little grace (◡‿◡✿)

Oh no. I seemed to have fallen into some sort of rabbit hole. The next set is some 1930's sort of thing? Sort of got thinking about rubberhose animation and well... This is the weird thing that came out of that.

Basically I tried to redo the Phyrexian Praetors in old cartoon style.

The first one I did was Sheoldred, felt decently Betty Boop-y. Had a lot more trouble with the horrible spider butt with a very John Dillworth-y kind of smile.

Got into something of a groove and did Vorinclex next. And the big galoot felt very Bluto/Sinbad. The skull isn't as animalistic as his real face is, but I decided it was a good time to reference the Skeleton Dance.

The third one was Jin-Gitaxias, and he was just a delight. If a little odd to figure out. Won't lie mostly vibing off of "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" here. And maybe an old cartoon vulture or two. Went with an accordion spine leading into baggy pants.

Definitely the easiest one I wound up doing. Elesh Norn just wound up having some Olive Oyl proportions. Long limbs, offbalance noodly proportions to match her cumbersome headwear.

Urabrask was definitely the one I struggled the most with. Mostly because even in his main card art, its hard to tell what's going on with him. Plus there isn't exactly much that "looks" like him in old cartoons. Initially considered going a dragon route, before stumbling upon Andy the Anvil (Skullgirls) and just giving him weird boat smokestacks and a mouth that vaguely resembled a cow-catcher. Sort of get the industrial vibe.

And yes... there is a color version (of the characters at least). By the time I was working on the background I had thrown on Black & White filter, and was just trying to use more oil-painty brushes to keep it separate from the characters.

The background was meant to be an afterthought, I swear. Maybe I'll try and put a color version of that together too.

Anyways off I go... Doing my various other art projects.

Hello! I really love your work and I was wondering if you could write something with Sejuani that found a dude (reader) passed out on the snow? They bond after he woke up etc-

Thank you for your support, it really means a lot <3 This is my first time writing Sejuani hope I make her justice!
  • Bristle was been uneasy, sniffing around the snow for some time now, Sejuani just watched him, eventually caressing his side and asking what’s going on, there only a few grunts from the boar, but eventually he let out a louder groan as his muzzle pointed out, oh, what in the world is that. 
  • She walked at the body, turning it slowly with her feet, eyes narrowed as she wonders if this guy is dead or not, but anyways her guard falls a little. “Let’s take him, he may have information.” 
  • Your wides shot open, it’s warm, different for the deadly cold you have felt when you passed away, you noticed you’re... somewhere, you sat up quickly just to meet with the view of a woman pointing at you a  True Ice flail. Not exactly what you expected but she’s surely prettier than anything you could imagine as well. 
  • She’s very wary at you at first, as you try to explain yourself, you’re sure she’d feed you to the boar if you make just one mistake, but as the days pass by Sejuani was starting to get used having you around her.
  • She’s a very strong woman and she sets a line where you can go around her, Bristle was always giving you a naughty eye to make sure of it, but you have a feeling she likes you once you noticed that by this time you’d be probably death. Maybe you have a chance with her if you can break all the ice walls she builds around herself.
