"Hello there, little one"

It's Mother's Day here in the UK and I felt like drawing something cute. Cobalt meets his mama for the first time. Little fun fact about Forest Bull Griffin chicks, they don't open their eyes until a few days after they hatch and usually have a grey coat of fluff that they shed as they get older.

Year of the Dragon

A bit late, but happy lunar new year! 

Been in a bit of an art block recently so hence why I haven't posted much recently. Decided to draw a more full bodied illustration of the dragon from my first art post of 2024. A lot less of a fierce drawing of him. I don't have a name for this character yet, might try to think of one at a later date. 

Have a nice day guys!

🔥 Orlaith the last 🔥

Orlaith is the last of the subspecies of Phoenix Raptors known as the Long Eared Phoenix Raptor. As the name states this species have long feather like appendages that make it seem like they have ears. These are used to protect the glands on the side of their necks, which is where they’re natural magic is stored. 

Orlaith is one of the oldest characters in Galatea very few have reached the age of 100yrs. Being the last of her kind makes her very lonely and unable to relate to other subspecies of Phoenix’s, however she has found companionship in a dragon whom her kind have a developed a close relationship with. 

Woooo! Boy I’ve been trying to finalised this creature/character for ages!! I’ve finally managed to finalise them! I love her design and I’m working on her character, she does appear in Cobalt and co story but she’s not a major focus. However I am planning on writing a short story on her in the future!  Anyway more references sheets hopefully to come in the future, though I’m planning on updating some as well to add some species information, and species culture information as well.  Hope you guys enjoy!

The Ember Rose

"The ember rose is one of the most strange yet beautiful flowers in Galatea. It blooms for a minute emitting a soft warm glow and once fully formed the petals start to float off the flower up into the sky slowly disintegrating and pollenating other flowers in the are." 

Most likely going to be the last art post of this year as I have work in the run up to the new year. So I decided to make some art based on my Phoenix raptor character, who I do plan on making a reference sheet for sometime in the new year. 

Hope you all enjoy and have a wonderful new year!

Christmas Lights

Cobalt gets himself tangled up in some festive tree lights, but he doesn't care cause he enjoys watching the colours change XD

Made a sort of gif to this (well it's a video, I tried to make an actual gif in Photoshop but it doesn't seem to work very well, or it's too big to post) with the lights twinkling.

Festive Song

Been really busy lately so I haven't had much time to draw, however I manage to draw this up in one evening. Little robin based feathered wyvern. Fun fact featured wyverns are known to have pretty singing voices. That would also include Ash.

Anyway hope you guys enjoy and enjoy the festive season!

Vali and Vivian

Yep, I'm out with it. They're a couple!!

Sorry that I've been MIA when posting art, work has been very draining recently so I haven't had much time to draw. However I had this sketched up a while ago so I decided to finish it.  I've been slowly developing these two in my head for a while and making them a couple was just the natural progression of that. I do have a rough idea of their story and how they met. But for now enjoy some cute art of them together!

Long Eared Pheonix Raptor

Quick creature design sketch I did last night before bed. She's an old species from Galatea, many wyvern's see her kind as their ancestors.

Still need to tweak the design a bit, but for now here she is, I've called her Orla.

Autumnal Coffee and Chatter

Astrid: This planet's beverages aren't too bad are they?

Cobalt: Yeah, kinda reminds me of the boiling berry cordials from home.

Ash: *blows on drink* Yeah, though berry cordial isn't as thick as this Hot Chocolate.

Felt like drawing an autumnal scene featuring the trio. In this case their visiting earth (don't ask how they got there) and trying out our hot beverages.

hope you guys enjoy!

Galatea Ghost Stories

Well...he did warn you kid...

Some more halloween themed art, I got inspired to make a new character after listening to some audio of Vincent Price. Will introduce them much later once I've gotten their design nailed down. But for a little tidbit the black pegasi is called Maximus and the little one huddled next to him is Lila (Leon's twin sister).

Hope you guys enjoy!

Forgot to share this, had a moment of drawing Ash as a anime character.

Might do this for the other characters at some point.

Enjoy!

I can't remember if I've shared these here before but I made two meme compilations featuring my creature characters. These were originally Instagram reels, so I apologise if some are in portrait mode, I just didn't have time to adjust them.

Hope you guys enjoy! There's also a bunch of youtube shorts on my channel featuring my characters as well if you want to check them out! Also note these are not canon to the story I'm writing for them, these are made just for fun!
