"Nemesis was a Romano-Egyptian deity in the form of a griffin. She was associated with fate, and complete statuettes often showed one paw resting upon a wheel representing fate."

Still thinking about the winged twins
To kick off the new year here is a low-effort meme that appeals to me and me only
They would actually have a lot to talk about methinks
Sooo I heard there was some demand for more shartwolf
A kenku lady I got to play in a one-shot this week. Their name is Ananke and they are a lunar sorcerer.
My contribution to Leodia Week this year: Crossover AU with Elden Ring 🌞 🌚
For people who know a little bit about ER it should be obvious who they are stand-ins for in the original lore haha. Anyways lore dump for this AU below the cut
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an infant, Diana was found orphaned by the Knights of Leyndell, Royal Capital. They took her in among their ranks and, once she came of age, allowed her to train with the other initiates, hoping to mold her into a loyal servant of the Golden Order.
During that time she befriended Leona, a fellow knight initiate of mysterious origin with fiery red locks and an even fierier spirit in battle.
However, while Leona remained fully devout to the Erdtree's cause, over the years Diana saw her own faith in the Golden Order begin to waver, especially once she discovered their treatment of non-human races such as the Albinaurics and Misbegotten. She frequently challenged the will of her superiors, becoming a thorn in the side to the Royal Capital.
This tension reached breaking point when as a late teen, Diana was revealed to be an Empyrean, someone capable of forming a connection with an Outer God. And so, Diana's very existence became a threat to the reigning Goddess and the Greater Will. Knowing the schematics of the Golden Order and fearing for her life, Diana fled the Capital.
Leona was heartbroken, for as far as she knew, her friend disappeared overnight. In truth, Diana went on to Liurnia, where she discovered the Full Moon and eventually came to lead the Raya Lucaria Academy.
Years later, Leona, now a Champion of the Golden Order, was tasked to lead the golden host and conquer Leyndell's surrounding territories in the name of the Greater Will. Her aggressive campaign lead her to Liurnia and the front steps of the Raya Lucaria Academy.
She did not expect to see her old friend, now a fully fledged Queen of Caria, standing on the battlefield and single-handedly repelling the Leyndell army's assault, aided by the majesty of the night sky she conjured.

I knew I had to redraw this scene when I first saw it
Was doing a photo study of actress Gaia Girace and it turned into Laudna adsasfgh
I think I just found my personal face claim for her
Then you came into my life with come hither in your eyes
A bunch of black and white sketches of League ladies that I posted on Twitter
Princess Kalista of Camavor, Spear of the Argent Throne
She deserved so much better than her fate.
For Leodia Week Day 5: Reunion
Gonna share my entries for Leodia Week here :D
This one was a combination of Day 1's "Acolyte" prompt and Day 2's "Ascension" prompt.
Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be
Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free In the silver moonlight I can breathe
Made this for my mom as Mother's Day present. Now that she has seen it I can post it here.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday, whether you celebrate the holiday or not!

Fate decreed they be joined. Fate doomed both of them.
*shamelessly posts art of ocs on a fan art account*
Last year I visited a museum where there was an ancient sceptre on display. On it was the carving of a bird and a fish pieced together by an arrow; apparently a symbol for the conjugation of two previously warring tribes.
I decided to borrow the motif for my two shapeshifter characters, make it into a twist on the "red string of fate" trope.
So apparently the Kirammans have dogs...
(I headcanon the dobermans' names to be Janna and Kiil. The corgi is not canon and added for kicks because ✨British✨)
Leona and Diana from League of Legends, based on a frame from this animated short (check out the original for a bittersweet sun and moon romance).
Anyways I was nervous as hell while working on this because oh my god physical affection embarrassing, but I am so proud of myself for finishing it. This is a big landmark for me, both in terms of technique and being comfortable with drawing what makes me happy.
Based on in-game emotes I conclude that Vi is the girlfriend who knows all the sick moves while Cait actually can't dance to save her life.
Bonus:
Felt like drawing something cute today so have a happy little sun blob.
In case it's not obvious I'm buried deep in League lore after Arcane. Might do a matching moon gif later hehe
Of all the meaningful fan art ideas I had for Arcane, somehow this is the one I ended up doing.
like a crow chasing the butterfly
Young Donna Beneviento sketch I threw together.
Howling ghosts they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
And in the sea that's painted black Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A year after Age of Calamity and I am still not over these fish siblings.
I wanted to make a storyboard of these two based on the song King and Lionheart by Monsters and Men, but knowing my own procrastinating ass I settled for a scene redraw instead. Even then the sketch sat in my folder for two months before I finally found time to render it.
Jumping on the crow Miranda bandwagon. Can't get this image out of my head after reading @lepusrufus's posts.
Nothing to see here just some rando big cats :)
Donna Beneviento with slightly wild expressions.
I headcanon that while Donna seems like a brick wall to others, she is actually very expressive underneath the veil, almost to the point of comical.
