KHALIDA DANCE

"More than a Fool"

BONUS ROUND

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Discord; who was always great fun, shame the VA is a nob.

Smallfry has a drawing for us!

Aww, he's a fan!

@teethflavoured's awesome salmon music meistro has a little doodle for the fridge now.

By Axe, Candle or Skin

Another D&D Character! A slavic Witch inspired by the likes of the Discworld Witches; sometimes local and sometimes nomadic problem solvers. Her class is Thaumaturge with her special impliments being her mothers axe, her fathers candle and her grandfathers skin. (He was a bear, long story)

Art-wise this is about the most effort I’ve put into a digital piece thus far using a drawing screen. I’m happy with everything but the boots and candle-arm. I couldn’t get the angle and placement exactly right, and I figured the piece was better done than held off on. I would have also preferred to give her a more muscular and wide shouldered build, but overall I’m very happy with it!

#359 ½: Babsol!

Sorry, I really couldn't think of a better name for it.

I always think its interesting when you get non-legendary pokemon that don't have younger or baby versions, and its always a good experiment to take a crack at what you think they'd look like.

Babsol hasn't grown into its swooping hair, or elbow spikes, or horn yet, but it still has eerie portents of the future to deal with. Not having learned to deal with such things yet, they can be a little emotional and moody but are easy enough to get along with with a little care and understanding. we've all been there Babsol, we were all teenagers once.

Absol itself reminds me of the Sphinx or those man-headed lion bodied and winged things you get in babylonian mythology. beast with the face of man telling you things you might not want to know.

little bugger has major neopet vibes too.

Headrubbies

Husband isn't a furry yet, but we'll get him eventually.

Temple of the Golden Tuber

Turnip 28! I love the setting and the amazing amount of world building and model kitbashing you can do with it.

This is my first landscape piece in a long time, and whilst I'm not super happy with the paint/texture on the temple I'm pretty chuffed with the work I did on the ground and sky.

The idea behind this is that in the far east and even farther north of the world of Turnip 28, lies a country in the thrall of a devious & dominating vegetable intelligence. It claims cultish dominion over the lands that used to be eastern europe in the world of T28, and is ever seeking to spread its sinister (and delicious) tubery tendrils into the rest of the world. One day all shall join in its starchy communion!

Magical Girl in Training

Fighting evil by moonlight. Winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight. She is the one named Sailor Moon!

I never really watched Sailor Moon or any of the other magical girl shows, but much like other anime tropes like big mecha and kaiju and super sentai it kind of just trickled culturally into my brain over time.

The Witches Oven

My slavic thaumaturge characters very important oven!

I think my favourite thing about drawing stuff I'm unfamiliar with is the rabbit hole you can fall down of learning, both in how to draw the stuff and its history and background. I now know considerably more about eastern european rural home design than I did before!

I haven't thought of a name for the character yet, but I know her Domovoy (house-spirit that lives in the oven) is called Uncle Ugol. You can see him peering out of the stove.

'Sploon Sayin's

I was playing a few rounds of Splatoon 2 with the husban, and he kept pointing out how my trek-like uniform made me look like an air stewardess, and lo' these words did eminate from mine lips.

Kroot & Krootling! My favourite part of the whole Tau empire; which in my opinion should have been Star Treks Federation rather than a weird mash of Gundam and Red China tropes, but I digress.

I like their eating/absorbtion based powers and how they're kind of just chill as far as beings go in the 40k 'verse.

I'd like to play as Big Dad Kroot in a 40k RPG someday.
