"What would an ice age unicorn look like?"
Little concept sketch I made of a proto-unicorn. Put some bits of yak elements, smaller horse stature, and overall fluffier fur. Would you risk petting this boi?

I'm still working on my next piece and it's taking a bit longer due to life stuff.
Look at this secondhand tech merchant dwarf I drew a couple months ago though. He rockin that Winnie the Pooh drip.

Fairy Grypus
"Most commonly referred to as 'Pidgegriff', the Fairy Grypus is a family of small monotremes that mainly live in the northern hemisphere. These animals vary in shape, size and form depending on the environment which they're in. No matter where I find these little critters I find that they have an uncanny ability to nest in any location; from sheer cliff faces to exposed pipes. Nature's embodiment of sheer audacity." -Eitr Veingar, Naturalist
It's a rat pigeon. I wanted to make a rat pigeon in my world.

Network Relay Stations
With how massive Ormauk is, even the largest cities can only feasibly stretch their data networks out so far. This especially becomes an issue when trying to connect cities which are millions of kilometers apart. The discwide network is only successful due to the support given by the numerous Network Relay Stations in between major settlements. These buildings are designed to be self-sufficient and far extends the lengths at which data can be sent throughout Ormauk. It is not uncommon for these Network Relay Stations to have small communities to grow around them as they are an excellent lifeline for new settlements just trying to take root in an otherwise wild region.

🌞 Solarpunk Wizard Gang 🌞
Continuing to draw some character concepts for Yatiuan citizens, specifically some employees at the local Network Relay Station.
I started with the idea of "retro disco wizard".
I really wanted to push for a tall beanie for the hat, but I couldn't quite make it work. Maybe I'll revisit that in the future.
I've decided that the more magical a character is, the more I'll deviate from the streetwear X solarpunk tribal patterns that I've followed so far.

Some character concepts I did for Network Relay Station curators from Yatiua City. Going to try a more urban wizard concept for the next few sketches I'll be doing

Lineart for my the next piece. Really trying to channel Moebius
on this one. Really wanted to balance the aesthetic of rural "run-down"-ness, urban fantasy and solarpunk technology. I didn't want it to lean too much into futuristic cleanliness.

The first iteration of Ormauk's world map!
The setting for the artwork I've been making since the end of last year. It's based off of an Alderson Disk. Ormauk is a disk megastructure built around a sun that bobs up and down. The distance between the star and either of the Spindles is 720,000,000 KM. The idea is that these Spindles have been weaving the disks for billions of years.
A combination of the sheer size of the setting and the effects of wild magic on nature pushes societies closer together. Leading to very tight-knit communities and mostly environmentally-reverent inhabitants.

Elder Tree Laupin
Equipped with a pair of extra long index nail, Elder Tree Laupins scoop out Glowmoth larvae that burrow into the tree's bark. Laupins can suck in air and balloon themselves up, allowing them to drift through the canopies of Elder Tree forests
Laupins are commonly found in colonies of 50-70 members and those who are able to witness a full colony drift through the Elder Tree forests are gifted with an often unseen and unlit underside of these old canopies.

Environment sketch for Ormauk! Imagine all the different creatures living in this kind of biome. If you're interested, I'm posting creatures weekly trying to fill up this world with lil guys.

Spirits of drowned sailors and floating orbs of fire. The Sunburst Iguana is often misattributed to these folklores due to its habit of huddling together on rocky outcrops out in the open waters. They keep each other warm on cold nights with their fiery frills; taking turns one after another once they've depleted their stored energy. Despite the ominuous stories surrounding them, these critters are integral to their local ecosystem for their proclivity to eat fast growing algae.
