Interpret the images as is, crop them, zoom in/zoom out, put them in a different setting, whatever speaks to you. Just have fun! No explicit or NSFW work

  • There are 4 of my original characters (Character Ref Page) and for the sake of having a visual base guideline, I've scheduled out one character per week (month calendar at bottom).

The Characters

Week 1, Oct 1-8
LangA wolf spirit caught between the mortal world that hunts it and the abyss that pulls it in. A dark exchange inspired by the Chinese tale, The Wolf of Zhongshan.'Something vicious this way comes...'

Week 2, Oct. 9-15
White Peony TeaA demon that brews a special white peony tea to help guide those with a troubled mind to closure... or not. Failure to overcome your inner demons, and White Peony Tea may claim your soul to brew and drink itself. It can shrink and travel as a small sprite."Ease your mind..."

Week 3, Oct. 16-22
The KeeperOnce the beloved companion of its creator, but many years have passed since then. It's power dwindling as time passes and the world changes. It hides, slumbers, and waits in the shadows of ruins for the opportunity to fulfill the wishes of its creator. The hands around its face behave like frills and can cover its eyes when resting.'I miss my creator'

Week 4, Oct. 23-31
Master YunMaster Yun is an embodiment of the limbo period between inciting incident and climax. Feeding on the despair of those endlessly waiting, wronged, or mourning before the storm."I am endless; the waiting despair, love, and revenge."
