Swordtember D03 - Poisonous

Blistering Beheader

Instead of forged, this sword was grown by planting various kinds of carefully selected poisonous fungi and plants on a young Green Dragon’s poison glands. The final product is a grotesque sword that can discharge a variety of poisonous gas to its surrounding. The wielder must remember to regularly consume the Panacea fruits dangling around its hilt to prevent themselves from being affected by the poisons.

Swordtember D02 - Ice

Gracious Glacier

Those who wield this sword shall not be stained by the blood of their enemies. Forged from an adamantine which has been soaked in white dragon blood, the blade freezes anything that it touches and steals the heat from its victim.

Swordtember D01 - Fire

Molten Maw

Forged from the bone and blackened heart of a high ranked devil, It creates a portal directly to the fiery pit of hell allowing the fire and molten stone to leak out to form a sharp and grotesque tongue that can cut and burn souls.

New 'Archivist' Tier + Swordtember

Hi everyone~

So I'm here for some quick announcement,

I've made a new Tier 'Archivist' with an added benefit to request 1 additional set of rewards from any previous months' reward every month. Hopefully, It'll let new patron who want to catch up or interested in previous creatures.

And one more announcement is~

I decided to participate in the 'Swordtember' art challenge, 

It's basically 30 days art challenge with 'sword' as the theme create...

August Reward 02 - Kerhagon (Dracopithecus giganteus)

I present to you~

Dracopithecus giganteus

Kerhagon

a primitive ancestor and transitional species from dragon to modern Dragonoid such as Dragonews, Dragonborn, and Kobold~

I had quite a lot of fun working on this beast, it also made me thought of the concept of evolution and how new species were born and evolve in D&D-like world.

anyway, the files will be sent soon along with the link for curators to compile a new set of...

WIP - Fossil

Some prompt breakdown and how I usually break down a word/theme/idea.

This time ‘Fossil’ is a bit tricky too. I was tempted to go toward a straight forward dinosaur route, or character that use a bone to animate dead creatures.

But then I saw human step by step evolution during my research process, and thought, “Hey, how about a transitional species instead?” Since ‘Dinosaur’ is already inside my mind, I immediately turn my attention to Dragon and the huma...

August Reward 01 - Arsqualia, The Timeless Dragon

Arsqualia is the byproduct that is born as the time of this world takes its first step, the counterbalance to the order of the universe, and the one who lives outside the constraint of time.

I took quite a step outside the box this time, and go with the 'flow of time' as my foundation and interpretation of the prompt 'Flow'. This time I need a bigger space, so I combine the pages into two long ‘scroll’. I hope you like this one, and perhaps some inspir...

WIP - Flow

These are some sketches I made for ‘Flow’ prompt~

For some reason, my mind stuck at the phrase ‘Flow of Time,’ and after a while, I gave in and just developed it.

I eventually decide to go with the design on the 2nd page, with the ‘Infinity symbol’ as the center point. I wanted to tie in the ‘flow of time’ phrase into the concept even further, so I’m going to make it an entity that acts as a counterbalance to the order of time, a beast that isn’t c...

August Prompt Voting

Time for Researchers and Curators to gather and vote for the next prompt~!

Since I failed to make 'Flow' before the end of last month, 'Flow' will be our first prompt for this month, and we'll vote for one more prompt.

These are words that were suggested by our dear Curators. 

*Researchers and Curators can vote

July Reward 02 - Melinoë, Keeper of Ruòn

Hello Everyone~

I hope you’re doing well.

Here is our very first character entry, Melinoë, Keeper of Ruòn, entry by our Curator ARBco.

I have a lot of fun making this and manage to test out how this style handles the action scene, apparently, it turns out pretty good in my opinion. Unfortunately, I miscalculated my speed and schedule and didn’t manage to finish the voted prompt ‘Flow’ within this month. Apparently, 2 d...

WIP - Melinoe and Deadnought

Some sketches exploring Melinoe design as representation of the underground druid, Lampade. I love the stone platted hood and I think I'll add some pattern on it too later~

This document will also feature 'Deadnought', one of The Lampade's nemesis.

After a discussion, we agree with the last page sketches, adding more stone and crystal ornament to the 2nd alternative for Melinoe, and going with the first alternative for Deadnought, but giving them more bizarre and twisted appearanc...

July Reward 01 - Barkhound

Greetings everyone~

The first creature for this month, Barkhound (submission by Cameron) is done~

I’m having a lot of fun trying to learn about canines in order to make this creature. Also, since this creature originated from one of Cameron’s adventuring sessions (Pathfinder), I included the character, Nia Triln, who reported the encounter to The Archive.

I hope you like this one, and I can’t wait to work on the next one, which gonna my first character art...

WIP - Barkhound - Initial sketch

Hi all~

I started working on the 'Barkhound' by one of our Curators, Cameron. The idea submitted in our previous contest was :

 Barkhounds are a species of wolf native to temperate forests. Their fur is umber in colour and they're somewhat stockier than the common wolf. However, what truly sets them apart is the dense bark that grows in patches on their body. When threatened this bark spreads to cover more of their form, providing protection from the claws and teeth ...

July Prompt Voting

 Welcome to our first Theme/Prompt voting~

As promised, each month, we will have a vote on theme/prompt that I will be using to make a creature/character~!

Usually, I will choose 2-3 words for each month. But since we already have 2 from the contest winner, for July polling, I will only take 1 highest voted word. In case there is a tie, I will choose the one that either feels more challenging to me or spark an immediate idea.

These are words that were s...

Curators Contest - Voting

Hi everyone,

Due to some error or mistake that somehow removed a submission from some Curator, and also as suggested by some patrons, I move the voting process to a proper Patreon Polling post. I hope with this, It'll make it easier for you to vote your favorite ideas. I will compare the number of voters in this poll and the original post, In case this poll attracts fewer voters, then I'll use the vote already cast in the original post instead.

I apologize for the frequent change ...
