A Little Jinx Sketch I Did Last Week And Forgot To Post

fun adventure with friends

I picked a brown headed cowbird for VAL since they’re parasitic nesters meaning they lay their eggs in other birds nests

a very stylized painting of thee most eldest daughter coded character in all of tolkien’s writings

roakes sentinel has been on my mind for months now, im SO HAPPY to finally have it drawn out !!! prelim sketches + notes below the cut :]

i think it's pretty obvious, but this was very much informed by the dog thing from The Thing. Rob Bottin is a huge inspiration to me in terms of body horror

the crab and dogs arent based on any specific species or breed. that's the problem with dogs and crabs -- theyre so diverse, you can't draw them generic without making them look a little weird in one way or another. and then that means picking a specific species or breed, which invites speculation as to why, which means it has to be done with symbolism in mind, and sometimes i just wanna paint a big scary monster with nothing else to it, yknow?

the dogs are (in canon) embedded in the shell, which i forgot about when i was envisioning the sentinel to begin with. thank god for artistic license !! sorry jon ware my crab now

there's them that lead and them that chase

(close-ups under the cut)

every time I watch arcane and see jinx my eldest sibling instincts kick in like do you need a hug? cookies? help vandalizing some dudes house?

meat is meat
