Do the horses use magical tools when casting spells I.E. wands, staffs, athames (ritual knifes), crystals, ect. Or do they mostly just prefer using hands (hooves?) ?

Raul returns to provide another primer on an expansive magic-related topic.

If you have a question, be it technical, personal, or whimsical, don't hesitate to send in an ask via Avania Mail--It will get answered eventually!

Quick Easter wallpaper featuring Una and Charlotte in their questionably canonical costumes… (I didn't have time to draw the new seasonally "appropriate" pinup I was thinking of, so I figured I'd do some more tinkering with the lighting on this old art since I put a lot of time into drawing it but never felt like the rendering hit its full potential).

Anyway, Happy Easter!

Viktoria tries out a little low-fashion style while enjoying a refreshing beverage.

I'm pretty sure I drew this picture last summer, but it was a pretty warm day today and Spring is just around the corner, so here we go!

Which Lackadaisy female character do fable and Tracy likes to draw the most?

Tough to pick. Ivy's fun to draw because she's usually having fun. I enjoy drawing Mitzi's flowy shapes and over-dramatic eyes. It's also amusing to me to draw really goofy expressions on someone who otherwise comes across like a glamourpuss. I like drawing Lacy's put-togetherness, Elsa's wispiness, and Nina's short-and-stout-ness. I enjoy drawing Serafine's sharp sense of style and ability to chameleon between one look and another, depending on what mode she's in. I get a kick out of drawing gnomish Mrs. Bapka too. I guess it helps to be unrepentantly indulgent about designing your characters, because then drawing is always a good time. I can't answer for @fablepaint, but I'm tagging them so they can chime in if they want to.

#I feel that!

Rhys looking marginally more weeaboo than usual here, though not out of line with her pre-naval academy civilian school uniform.

I haven't pumped out the ink pen pinups in a long time, but I did make a few last fall that I still haven't posted yet... I might clean this up more in the future, but it turned out pretty well on its own so why not now?

STOP Right There, Terrible Driver! No one violates the traffic laws on Officer Flossy's watch... Especially YOU, Dingo Dog!

If you're familiar with my art then you're no-doubt aware that I very seldom draw species that aren't some permutation of avian or equine...

This is what happens when you enjoy drawing sexy anthro characters (frequently in uniform) and are then forced by your toddler to read Cars and Trucks and Things That Go 50,000 hours a day for months on end. I enjoyed the book a lot as a kid myself, but hadn't given it much thought again until recently... I guess I can't resist an excuse to draw uniforms and pleated skirts!

Officer Flossy is © Richard Scarry (or perhaps more accurately, his estate) ...Though obviously I've deviated a bit from her canonical stature.

Also just think about this for a second... Flossy chases a criminal joyriding in a sports car, over SIXTY PAGES of different driving environments, obstacles, and situations, on her BICYCLE, and OUT-LASTS his CAR. Can you imagine how much endurance that takes?? She must have some epic Chun-Li thighs from all that pedaling too!

Anyway, I feel a little weird posting this pic right after recent sad events, but I originally drew this picture a while ago, since I had wanted to explore more fun rope / suspension poses after the shibari Forte pic, but I thought it would make a fun card and it was close enough to Valentines Day, so I just waited and we'll, the timing is what it is... I'm even more busy now, on top of bearing a heavy emotional burden, but my art is always a great comfort to me, so I will continue to pursue it as much as time and energy allow!

After experimenting with new brush settings for the line art, I had intended to finish this pinup with a flatter rendering style, but as is typical for me, I just kept adding to it and tweaking it... I am extremely pleased with the result though! I especially love how the neon green highlights look on her scales, but the soft highlights really complete the shiny look and offer contrast to the matte cloth of her outfit. In general I just love the black n' neon color scheme--certainly something different for me, and it was fun to unironically embrace the 2000s mall fashion too.

As I mentioned in the sketch version of this pic, I started yet another AU... It's a totally ordinary early 2000s setting, but with SPACE RAPTORS! It doesn't follow any particular logic, I just just felt like it would be a fun way to express Chasse' personality in a vastly different setting than usual, and draw some fun clothes that wouldn't fit in any other continuity too. Speaking of the sketch version though, I did end up changing her face/expression a little bit. I like both versions, and I feel like the sketch face slightly younger and angrier, while this version is a little older and more fashionably apathetic... Ugh, it's not a phase, MOM!

(@alfafilly I need to see ActualEmo!Forte and idk maybe PerkyGoth!Linda whenever possible).

Super rough sketch comic that I probably wouldn't have posted had I not ended up adding on to it (hence why it goes from a pen sketch to digital)... Some "reality" warping going on here, but through shitposting, all things (and ships) are possible! Even though this comic is basically a shitpost, it is still a bit of an exploration of Chasse' involvement with Linda, Forte, and now also Harlie... For lore context, Chasse is a newcomer to Linda's tribe. Linda is pretty open and casual when it comes to having fun with others (not unusual for rozenich in general), as is Chasse, so they fool around as Chasse tries to get a feel for everyone's attitude/power level. Forte is effectively Linda's boyfriend, and Harlie is ostensibly her chosen mate--but only for the purposes of reproduction? idk it's complicated. Harlie is kinda jealous of Forte, and despite both being rather intellectual for their species, they can have a hard time getting along... I figured that something interesting might happen if the existing love triangle of sorts was turned into a love square of sorts with the arrival of Chasse.

Chasse is my character, but she, Linda, Forte, Harlie and the rozenich species were all designed by @alfafilly

Time to get inked for the new year! I've been experimenting with brush settings to get away from the default brushes I've used for years now, and try to introduce a bit of the grit inherent to real ink on paper.

As I mentioned in the sketch version of this pic, I started yet another AU... It's a totally ordinary early 2000s setting, but with SPACE RAPTORS! It doesn't follow any particular logic, I just just felt like it would be a fun way to express Chasse' personality in a vastly different setting than usual, and draw some fun clothes that wouldn't fit in any other continuity too.

Post Chapter 17 (Part 1) Status Update

It's already that time again? Half a chapter goes by even faster than a whole chapter, but I think it's better than no chapter! Fortunately, chapter 17 has a scene transition with a short time jump roughly halfway through, so splitting it into two parts shouldn't feel too jarring.

2023 has turned into quite a taxing year for me for multiple reasons, and my available time and energy has unfortunately slowed comic production to a crawl... Chapter 17 is fully written and sketched out, but actually illustrating it is the most labor-intensive part and can be very slow going on the highly populated panels.

To keep my morale up and avoid burnout I've always enjoyed making non-comic art along with my comic pages (even if that art is also Avania related), and this year is no exception... Drawing whatever I felt like has been an important stress-reliever for me lately, but advancing the story of Avania is also something I find very fulfilling--at a glacial pace or not!

Anyway, thanks for reading and thank you for your patience. I look forward to Chapter 17 (Part 2) and I'm very excited to finally get to Chapter 18 and beyond. I hope that I will be able to return to my previous production schedule soon so that I can finally share these long-written scenes with everyone!

In the meantime, look forward to more Avania Mail, closing out this year with #101!

#tristikovupdate

[tristikovart]

We got a world map for Avania, how about a world map for Demonus too?

Avania Mail #101: Demonian Geography 101 - Eraclare might not have failed it, but she could probably use a refresher (or perhaps find whatever scholar she "convinced" to do her homework again), then maybe try again...

This will most likely be the last regular Avania Mail for 2023, but there are plenty more to be answered, so thank you for your questions, stay tuned, and look forward to the new year!

Maybe I've just been feeling nostalgic lately, but one way or another I started yet another AU... It's a totally ordinary early 2000s setting, but with SPACE RAPTORS! It doesn't follow any particular logic, I just just felt like it would be a fun way to express Chasse' personality in a vastly different setting than usual, and draw some fun clothes that wouldn't fit in any other continuity too.

Doom turns 30 years old today! (12/10/23)

This poster captivated me as a child when I saw it at a family friend's house. Though I didn't get into custom wads or the Doom community until more recent times, I still played a lot of Doom growing up, and the premise, visuals, sounds, music, and aesthetic all contributed to my tastes. Its influence is something I carry forward to this day, and I'm pleased to see the classic Doom community is stronger than ever these days, continuing to push the game to new creative heights.

Also, that's just one hell of a cool poster (illustrated by Don Ivan Punchatz, and Doom logo by Adrian Carmack).

#doom #id software #classic doom #scifi art #demons #corrected credit to Adrian Carmack for the logo; the article on the poster seemed to imply Don Ivan Punchatz was hired to make the logo too

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎*** Attention ***

This marks the end of Avania, Chapter 17, part 1. As mentioned in the previous announcement post, I decided to split the chapter into two parts in order to move things along during this period of reduced comic production time. While being a good father is my foremost obligation now, Avania is still a passion project for me. Fortunately, the rest of the chapter is already sketched out, and I am working to complete it as soon as is feasible. I hope you enjoyed this half-chapter, and thank you for reading in any case! Stay tuned for a proper update (on @worldofavania,) and also a little sneak-peak at the second half of the chapter! If you enjoy Avania, be sure to give it a vote on Top Webcomics  and enjoy an aeronautical wallpaper ft. Rhys O’Shaughnassy!
