A fake cover for a gang of characters I have with my friends over at EnterVOID.com called Void City Valkyries. From top down we have Crikey Dile, Xia, Wizzie Belles, Raven and Black Swan.

We collaborate on comics together featuring the characters, you'll see more of them around, but if you can't wait till then look 'em up over at Void.

Some rough sketches of a new OC. Her name is DeVa La'Che (pronounced DAY-vuh Luh-KAY).

She is a fighter of the Global Battle Association, which is essentially a competitive MMA circuit. DeVa signed on alongside her friend, Cendra Blaze, when they were young; and have been training together ever since. Now, they're two of the most respected fighters in the circuit!

When she's not fighting, DeVa usually stays home to focus on her creative works. As an Artist, she is capable of using all sorts of media -- she can do tattoos, digital prints, photography, and even sculpting!

She also occasionally helps with her Lover's modeling and music career. Sometimes, they even collaborate!

At her core, DeVa is generally kind and compassionate, but if it comes down to it, she won't hesitate to pound your face in the dirt to prove a point -- both literally and figuratively.

Alright, time for a bit of story between these two!

Yzei and Kawrok have known each other for some years and even collaborated. They first met when Yzei became Chancellor and was introduced to the alchemist by the royal family. Even though they were not working in the same fields, they had a mutual respect for each other (considering their talents and dedication to their work, and their great intelligence.). Therefore, the royal family and many others had great hopes in this partnership.

Alas, while people believed in the good reputation and progresses of Kawrok, this one created a small circle of Interlopers and started to work on darker projects. Seeing his projects restrained because of ethics and because the Twili feared to repeat the mistakes of the past, the alchemist had to make his experiments and researches in the greatest secret, laying his hand on forbidden magic and techniques.

However, this good façade Kawrok displayed to be at peace was soon destroyed by Yzei who discovered his true designs with disappointment. At everyone’s surprise, he put an end to all the alchemist plans at once and forced him to face consequences for his acts. Alas, Kawrok wasn’t out of resources and managed to escape, not without giving a hint about his future goals and being quite eager to see what the young Chancellor would do about it. From this day, Yzei swore to stop the Interlopers at any cost. This somehow started a very intense and dangerous kind of chess game between the two.

An illustration I did last year but didn't get to post until recently for Homemade in Hyrule, a Zelda themed cookbook! I got to collaborate with one of the chefs to make this illustration for one of the recipes shown in the book. I figured I'd share this while I'm working on a bunch of other things! Leftover sales are open for another 10 days or so, so if you want to pick up a copy you still can. Be sure to check it out if you're interested!

Webinars and more!

We are lining up guest speakers for our webinars for next year. Who are some artists that you'd like to hear from?

We are also working on some blog articles with some big name artists.

Let us know in the comments who you'd be excited for us to collaborate with!

Autumn Journey is a fan series, created by fans of Bella Sara on the North of North discord server. These are only two of my contributions, the only ones that are solely my work. Many other pieces in the project I helped collaborate on.
For more info on the series, please check out its [wiki page](https://bella-sara-oc.fandom.com/wiki/%22Autumn_Journey%22) on the Bella Sara OC Wiki!

Sabrina is my original horse, created for this project.

## I'm sure I'll get a lot of hate for this, but if you use a photo of yourself as your PFP and you send me a private message, I'm going to block you

------

## On DeviantART, there's been a lot of fake spam accounts saying they want to use your work for a mural or to collaborate, but these are scammers and most likely art thieves. It wouldn't surprise me if they start going nutso over here, so I'm going to be pretty strict here on who I let interact with me. I'm doing it to protect myself and my work, especially with all this AI (images) crap destroying artists' livelihoods
------
## So yeah, if you use a real life photo as your PFP instead of something you drew, that's an instant block from me. I'm not going to waste my time trying to verify if these accounts are legit or not. If you are a legit person but still use a real life photo, I'm sorry that I am forced to take these measures. Blame the liars, scammers, and thieves for that

Background art for Everett Fischer and highintheautumnsky's video, Slayer Mech.

This is a piece inspired by Everett Fischer's music, who I collaborated with. This art piece had gone through multiple iterations over the course of many months, which was initially inspired by Pacific Rim and Warhammer 40K.

I was very inspired by Franz Xavier Winterhalter's painting, "Empress Eugenie Surrounded by Her Ladies in Waiting".

(left to right)

**Radella, Lady of the Tomes.** She manages the Royal Library & is Samara's advisor. She's the most level-headed of the group & is the one the ladies go to for help.

**Anais, Lady of the Seasons.** She oversees agriculture & maks sure the farmers have everything they need. Anais is a sweetheart & always puts others before herself.

**Neoma, Lady of the Stars.** She tracks the stars, the weather, & follows celestial events. She collaborates with Anais when there's a change in weather patterns or when a storm is brewing.

**Rezin Qoisar.** A thief from Qoisar, she’s happy-go-lucky & loves making friends. She uses wind magic, which she annoys Lizzie with.

**Elizabeth “Lizzie” Sherwood.** From Sylvatae, Lizzie is always playing with machines, figuring out how they work. She’s a loner; it took her a while to warm up to Samara & Rezin. Rezin still annoys her with her “magic”.

**Samara I, Queen of Alenia.** Samara's getting used to being the monarch & leading Alenia. Her friends have been an incredible support - giving her advice when she needs it and uplifting her when she doubts herself. She hopes that she leaves an inspiring legacy.

**Lucretia, Mistress of Wardrobe.** She coordinates Samara's clothes & meets with dressmakers to keep up with current trends. She's exuberant & over the top, & has a taste for anything luxurious & fancy.

**Mae, Lady of the Arts.** She collaborates with artists, musicians, actors, writers, etc. & manages Samara's patronages. The youngest, Mae is cheerful & looks up to Zephne.

**Zephne, Private Secretary to the Queen.** She was the first Lady in Waiting, & was promoted to Private Secretary when Samara became Queen. She's in charge of organizing & scheduling Samara's commitments & meetings. She's a changeling, so she works as Samara's body double. Zephne is Samara's closest friend & confidante.
