As often happens, it has taken me less than 24 hours to try an entirely different colour scheme for a drawing. This time I went for a dawn theme and slightly more natural colours.

Other than the bright cyan hair streaks, obviously. And matching streak of dyed feathers on the wings (something I've never thought to try before!).

Compared to the original 'night' version upthread, which do you prefer?

First finished drawing of 2026! Another Erinys drawing, because I seem to have a thing for women with wings.

As usual, I'm of multiple minds regarding the colours. Too much, just fine, better with more [insert literally any other colour scheme here]. I may experiment some more before I call it officially 'done' after all. Suggestions always welcome.

One last drawing this month before the madness of October drawing challenges.

'Tis another winged lady, naturally.

I'm hoping to do #Arttrober again this year, though I may yet still randomly decide to switch to another prompt list if I see a sufficiently enticing one floating around.

I'll have to keep it much simpler than my recent drawings though, because otherwise I *will* die (or, y'know, not have the time).

Another demoness / tiefling-type to add to the collection, rising from the crater created by her own summoning.

Tried to go dramatic with the background and colouring, but can't decide if it's a little too busy.

I really should think of some kind of project to make use of all these character designs I've been making—like a visual novel or something.

It is perfectly possible to look both feminine and dangerous. Another erinys drawing, mixing angelic and demonic traits.

I went big again on the hair, but also on the poofy sleeves—and the wings, naturally. I tried out a variety of different colour schemes, but after an accident with colour filling ended up going all in on pinks and peaches, to hopefully striking effect.

Hope folk like it.

As is my wont, I've done an variant colouring / arbitrary mirroring of my angel drawing upthread.

An erinys / fallen angel dressed in black and red, her iron halo casting a shadow over her face.

How do people think this version of the drawing compares with the previous, more divine version?

A drawing of an erinys swordswoman, continuing my exploration of what winged humanoids do with their wings when not unfurled behind them.

Here the wings are slung low as a kind of battle-skirt. Apparently it makes the wielder look a bit like a Christmas tree? Might need to refine the design—I'm sure it's been done before many times.

Not sure what the tendrils coming out the back are supposed to be.

Having spent the entirety of last month knocking out drawings for #Arttrober, I decided to break from drawing.

For one day.

*Then* I decided to actually draw something fun that I could spend more than a few hours on.

So obviously I drew another erinys / tiefling / demoness. Here she is!

I wanted to play a bit with pose and perspective—hopefully to good effect.

As ever, comments/feedback welcome.

It's #PortfolioDay once again!

I'm Paul, and I mostly do character art—mainly but not limited to fantasy illustration with notes of victoriana and steampunk.

A gallery of my recent art can be found here: https://baffledwizard.blogspot.com/p/gallery.html, with more in the archives.

I mostly draw for myself, but I'm open to freelance opportunities (email: ravanon[at]outlook[dot]com).

Huh. Just noticed that I joined Mastodon 1 year ago today.

I've always been terrible with social media, and now I'm... still pretty bad. But the Fediverse has provided a venue to post my #tiefling, #erinys and other fantasy character illustrations, so that's been nice, and I've also gotten to see a lot of great art from others and post about games.

So... thanks everyone!

(Damn, I should have prepared a new drawing for this post. Look, just check my recent posts, okay?!)
