…Crashes thunder can be heard, far off in the distance… Or at least, that’s what her footsteps sound like. The princess is here. She looms over the town, her third eye glowing bright like the sun, visible to all. She wants to be entertained… Think you can manage that…? [ #BoCOCT ]

They are all here at last… Waiting for you to arrive… …Or… Are we missing something? [ #BoCOCT ]

If one doesn’t wander far from the port or even outside town’s walls, Labhra will be a common sight. At her floating pub, some derelict ruin, or the beach, all Ms. Ni Fearghusa needs is a quick shout if you require any muscle. [ #BoCOCT ]

Once a booming fishing harbour exporting hauls far and wide, but currently only serves to help feed the town and house aquatic fae like Niamh. Theres a barge with a built-in pub, open to all who need a wee pint in these trying times... Amazing BG by @5wordsman.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

The forest weaves in and out of the walls of the town. Thick trees further obscure the environment and makes it harder for anyone to even see a way back to the normal world. Funny thing is, it seems to go on forever… And loops right back to where you started. [ #BoCOCT ]

The town itself is falling apart; the architecture is preserved victorian buildings, but slowly but surely being reclaimed by nature, flora and vines lace through brickwork.. Fae and people still occupy the houses despite the structures crumbling. Amazing BG by @5wordsman.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

THE TOWN WALLS During the medieval era, these walls were built to keep out intruding forces… Now reclaimed by nature, still acting as a deterrent to this day, with the Dullahan standing guard to keep anyone who discovers them out… Until now. Wonderful 3D render: @easypeat.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

The cliffside is formed by Basalt Columns, huge hexagonal stone columns that act as a staircase for the giantess lurking in the sea. It is thought that she formed them herself in a rage. (2/2) [ #BoCOCT ]

An ancient church that sits atop Caoin’s cliffside, overlooking the sea. It acts as the perfect place for Máire to observe the town. The lights are always on, but the doors are locked for the tournament. (1/2) Incredible 3D renders made by @easypeat.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

A dreary, dangerous place. It sits just outside the city walls, nestled between land and ocean. Tall, mossy trees lurch over the water like fingers gripping a prize. Any unlucky enough to travel through its depths will note that the paths and river ways wind and twist like a maze. [ #BoCOCT ]

The begrudging guard of Caoin, Andrew is a dullahan that once reveled in blood and torment. Perhaps the opening of the festival will bring back these old habits. NPC created and drawn by @hummingdead.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

A ray of sunshine amongst the dull and drab. All Niamh wants is to have fun and make merry! But there's so much you can do in such a small town. She’s seen it all. If she feels like it, she may even tell you a secret or two… NPC created and drawn by @5wordsman.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

These are certainly not the only Fae you will encounter in this sealed away town, but a few you may see often… [ #BoCOCT ]

Hey #portfolioday, I'm Dana, and I like using digital symmetry tools to explore contrasts in nature and mythology, and I have an affinity for dark witchcraft and spooky scenes. 📧 [email protected] 💼 exhibitor.abandonambition.com I'm OPEN for work and events. #art #animalart #darkart

Caoin's current magistrate sought refuge here to escape from the violent demands of tyrants. In exchange for keeping the peace, he is free to live a peaceful life as his true self. NPC created and drawn by @easypeat.bsky.social [ #BoCOCT ]

🪶[20] Nēnē aka Hawaiian Goose. The texture of their furrowed neck feathers is so stunning. I thought it was just a black striped color at first. 🌺[20] ハワイガン。初見では首の模様は表面的な白黒羽毛なのかと思っていたけど、よく見るとがっつりスパイラル溝が入っている立体構造で驚いた。すごい造形。 #AvianAugust #Birds

Otterly adorable 🦦 #art

If I ever make a character that does not have at least ONE thing terribly wrong with them, then something has gone terribly wrong.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Who am I kidding, had to do the set

Let’s see, a new pinned post maybe. I am an illustrator and I also make pictures with my own hands for animation and games sometimes.

To Slay the Great Regurgitator

I'm serious when I say this. If any of y'all feel like your dreams of working the animation industry are crushed, give comics a try. It's the best way you bring your vision to life in a tangible form. If you can't draw comics, give it a shot. There's no right or wrong way of doing comics.
