Part 1/3. Stained glass illustrations done in May / June for @zekethegm of the pantheon from Death of Fatherhood. Death, Ambrose (not one of the gods), Life, and Humanity.

This was different to what I usually do, but I’ve always been enamoured with the pantheon and it was a delight to work on them! :D

[ID start: four images of humanoid gods drawn in a stained glass style with limited colour palettes.

1. Death is pale with four arms, six fingers each hand, nine red eyes that cover his face, and red vents in his neck. He is wearing dark, long flowing robes. Two arms are raised to frame the halo that frames his head, the other two digging into the hills in front of him that depict the fossil record. His predominant colour is purple.

2. Ambrose is a light skinned human with a gentle smile, short, dark brown wavy hair, and a skeletal arm and hand raised in greeting. He is wearing a brown shirt and shoes, blue jeans, and a long purple coat. He is standing on cobblestone, with clouds and a cemetery depicted in the background. His predominant colour is blue.

3. Life is dark skinned with four legs, no face other than three yellow eyes, long, purple tentacle hair, and is wrapped in pale ribbons. She is floating over a background depicting grass and lavender fields with two legs outstretched and the other two crossed. A sun halo frames her head. Her predominant colour is green.

4. Humanity is dark skinned with a stoic expression, dark brown afro, and is wearing long leather armour over a cream tunic, and a long blue cloak. He is standing with hands behind his back, in front of a background depicting a cloudy sky and mud huts with thatched roofs. His predominant colour is brown. End ID]

Verda (she/her), a new character for a new wip. Started working on it before I even got anywhere with the last project gskjdhf *weeps*.

Thin lineart is my mortal enemy but I missed doing cell shading so I gave it another go, full piece is up on patreon ft. the second character.

[ID start: crop of a coloured character art showing Verda in profile from the shoulders up. She is an older woman, tan, with greying brown hair partially covered in a light brown headscarf, dark brown eyes, and wearing dark red lipstick. She’s wearing a coat the same colour as her lipstick with a patterned light brown trim, and a cream shirt. The shirt’s collar is held closed with a stylised eye golden pin. The background is a dark blue-green with faint scan lines running horizontally across it. End ID]

He’s wearing a frustrated expression, a dark turtle neck, collared shirt, open jacket, and various silver necklaces. He has a nose bridge, labret, and several ear piercings, one earring is a silver sword.

The second is of a light skinned man with dark brown, curly, chin-length hair, dark brown eyes, glasses, and a short beard. He’s wearing a slight, soft smile, white collared shirt done up with a green tie, and an old brown leather jacket. He also has a silver ear piercing. End ID]

Been a while since I’ve drawn a map but I realised I hadn’t posted any of these here yet! Some of my favourite progress photos from my campaign setting Viraeth, a map drawn for last year’s madmapmarch on instagram.

Each day’s post came with some lore for the location(s), you can read them at @ lostnavcartography.

(if you’re on instagram and want to see some very cool maps you should search the tag, it’s a fun event!)

Copic multiliners on A3 watercolour board.

[ID start: nine photos of a hand drawn, stylised, black and white industrial fantasy map sitting on a wooden surface.

1. The map’s title, Viraeth, written in the balloon of an airship. There are some clouds and floating rock in the background. 2. Ignarr’s Scar: a volcano, part of a mountain range, with an out of focus icon titled Research Outpost above it. 3. Head of Atus: a many-horned and eyed mask partially buried in a salt flat. 4. An island ringed by mountains with The Whistling Pot: a forest basin, and Sentinel’s Tomb: a tomb entrance with three giant swords sticking out of the hillside above. 5. Ghostlight Gap: a chasm with a telescope-like viewing device pointed into it. 6. The Fangs: what looks like a giant snake’s head emerging from a mountainside. 7. Red Mines: a wide chasm, a crane holding a bathysphere over it, and an old submarine on the ground behind. 8. Profundyss: an underwater dome city sitting on a deep lake bed with large creatures swimming around it. 9. Footsteps of the Giant: a trail of footsteps leading towards an icon titled Traveller’s Veil: a veil hanging from a stand of some kind. End ID]

Under Moonlight 🌒

Been in the mood to draw soft jumpers so I sketched another Embry :’3 full res image, colour variations, timelapse, and process are up on patreon.

[he/they]

[ID start: a coolly lit half-body drawing of a pale person with long, red hair whose face is touched by moonlight as he frowns slightly with closed eyes. They are wearing a light coloured, loose, knitted jumper and are standing with one arm crossed over their front, holding the other. Behind them is a partially obscured, cracked, pale wheel with the moon cycle repeated twice around it’s circumference, and a plain dark background. End ID]

#sketch #sketch page #art nouveau #oc #original character #fantasy art #lostnavarts #*reposting today at my more usual time in the hope it will get seen this time. also removed a tag in case it was getting blocked ;w; #a friend said this art looks like it was pulled from a memory and i have not stopped crying since ;w; #i have another soft jumper art i am working on bc watching the terror has left me with an incredible need to wear one but it is hot here #and i am allergic to wool so instead i am projecting on characters aksdj #i'm really proud of this art's vibes ;w; might see if i can get it printed so i can stick it to my wall

The Lost Navigator; i.e. me but a little Wrong.

I've become obsessed with old photos so I wanted to have my own daguerrotype / tintype. Blurred the face for fun and vibes (something something ghosts can’t properly be caught on film) >:3

[ID start: Two versions of an art depicting a person with his face blurred, one tinted red and one tinted blue-green. He is posed with his right arm resting on a wooden desk, looking to his right. They are pale with short, dark hair, and wearing a stiff-collared shirt, knitted jumper, old naval coat, and a black ring on their middle finger. He is holding a spyglass in the crook of his arm, and there is a small world globe sitting by them on the desk. The background is an indistinct painting of mountains and clouds, and both drawings are framed with an aged gold frame. There are a few small, white specks over the ‘photo’. End ID]

#illustration #self portrait #daguerrotype #tintype #antique photography #horror art #queer artist #lostnavarts #(not sure what trigger warnings to add for a blurred face) #third reason i blurred my face is i got it too close to my actual face and i don't want that floating around online askjdhks #i keep saying i don't want this style to be my primary style but the softened shading...the lines becoming indistinct to the colour... #the five layers of overlay textures...the aesthetic of it all...beloved #the coat isn't historically accurate to what i was going for but i am only willing to fight a collar for so long on an art that is #something fun just for me x'D it's fine i feel like the vibes are there enough #also i am well aware this isn't how spirit photography looks but i think it is cool and fun and i am not removing my ghost comment askdjhsk #very gender of me to use mostly he pronouns for myself in the id given most everyone still ignores that i prefer that <3 #edited to shorten the id a bit

Finished the redesign for my grave cleric, Wren! I’ve made him a cleric of the Harvest Mother now, which is based on one of the gods in my wips because i want to bring in a bit of horror like i did with Verdi >:3

instagram: lostnavarts

[ID start: Two full body drawings side by side with four object drawings lined up in a column to the right. The full body drawings are of Wren Osomra (he/they), a short, grey-skinned elf with white dreadlocks in a loose ponytail down to his hips, and clusters of white moths instead of eyes. Wren is wearing a cream-coloured, knee-length tunic and trousers, a dark red, waist-length leather tunic and sandals, and a small sparrow skull necklace. He is holding a wooden shepherd’s crook with a bunch of flowers tied to it. The second drawing is the same but Wren is also wearing a dark red cloak and a wide-brimmed straw hat.

Object 1: a sparrow skull sitting on a cluster of flowers and leaves with a crown of wheat. Object 2: jasmine flowers with two jasmine moths sitting on them. Object 3: a pair of dark sunglasses. Object 4: a woven umbrella/parasol sitting on it’s side. End ID]
