armaina:

Hello friends, did you know I have a discord server that I post all my art to, with ping role updates you can opt into?
https://discord.gg/YpU6hhmKWW
I like using discord a lot because I’m the social type, so I talk a lot about what I’m working on, in there.

I am a very organized type of person when it comes to spaces like this and like to keep all my art in tidy categories and threads to make browsing art posts easier and keep discussion all in one place.

If you ever wanted to talk to me at length, here’s the place to do it.

(please only join if you’re genuinely interested in my story/comic projects)

Approaching the hill

Exactly a month from now is my birthday, and I’ll be turning 40 and that’s such a weird thought.

I remember the big deal it was when my mother turned 40, I would have been 9, approaching 10, at the time.

but it doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long, I can’t even say that I feel ‘old’
Granted I know well that I still have another 40+ years ahead of me, but still.

I guess good to be mindful of how short things really are in the grand scheme of things.

Anexentum Community

Since the community feature is now public, I’ve made a community for my personal verse that my stories take place in and anyone is welcome to join.

A little FAQ

Will you still post art to your blog?

Yes absolutely, that’s not changing.

How will this be different from your art blog?

The purpose is more for community interaction than just art sharing. I’d like it to be a place for people to share fan works, discuss comic updates, create/share fan characters, and for me to host little events in addition to the occasional community-only lore drop.

A scanned page of pencil sketches drawn by OP, Armaina. Sketches are of multiple images of her character, Talon. Description of individual sketches from left to right, starting from the top.  A headshot sketch of Talon look off and downward with a sullen expression.  Talon seated, facing to the side. She is leaning against a table, legs crossed. One arm is leaning on the table with her head resting on the palm, the other hand is resting in her lap. She looks forlorn and sullen.  A sketch of her face facing three quarters from the viewer, looking far off, her mouth is slightly parted pulled back in a grimace teeth clenched. She looks intensely strained, stressed, worried.  A full-body sketch of talon standing in a light robe, looking irritated. One hand is on her hip, the other is holding a glass with a beverage of some sort. Her tail can be seen thumping against the ground.  A sketch of Talon on all fours, poised to attack. Her face is looks angry and focused, mouth open with teeth bared in a snarl.  A headshot of Talon from the side with her looking back. Her eyes are focused and intense, a hand is raised to wipe blood off her mouth using the back of the hand.  A sketch of Talon seated leaning back, looking down and off looking sullen and tired.ALT

Been too long since I drew her so sketch page, not been drawing enough in general. The sketch on the left in her robe, IDK I think someone bothered her at home. Ertakar body language note: Thumping tail on the ground is a common sign of irritation/anger.

Image is a digital illustrated piece by the OP, Armaina. It contains her character, Naelynn, an anthropomorphic insectoid character dressed as the character Eido from Destiny 2. The scene looks in low light in a vast underground cavern. Naelynn is looking upward as luminous spores drop from the cavern's ceiling.ALT

With only a few hours left, I finally got this done before Halloween ends (in my time zone). Naelynn dressed up as Eido from Destiny 2. Even though this wouldn’t be anything ‘canon’ (since that character/reference wouldn’t exist in the setting) I still kinda made a vague background to the setting she’s in. Supposed to be some sort of luminous spores dropping from the ceiling to set to mood.

A digital sketch page this time. Messing with a pencil textured brush to do my sketching in. Some naelynn thing both for fun and based on events and also requests from Doc lol. Also a sleepy Drakko in the right corner there and a dark mysterious figure the party ran into that Naelynn gave a fruit to and rolled a nat 20 on persuasion. (both Drakko and the big guy belong to DoctorGitGud )

A little scene of something that takes place before the comic Ibrida, to a memory that Talon keeps close to her. A year before her mother’s death, a year before her entire life was entirely uprooted.

A time when herself, her mother Tlakanok, and her godmother Xiktali all worked together to help her build a clubhouse for her and her friends. The last time the three of them were together, taking part in something she was passionate about. Even with what she’s lost, she keeps these memories close to her, to hold the value of their importance in her life and what they meant to her, no matter what happens.

Comic is set for first chapter release in December
