Thinking of some ideas for what a vreem language might look like. I figured since they have crab claws they would have a hard time using cylindrical writing tools so i came up with a stamp like pen instead. This is an example of Khlhk and is one of many vreem languages in my setting. It uses a vertical script of lines and dots and is an agglutination heavy language, so an entire sentence or phrase is also a single word.
Also an example of some graffiti with a stylized version of the script.
The Gates of Mul'Dingir
The City of the Gods,
Prior to their downfall at the hands of the archons, the Seer watched the world from their golden city. There, they wove tapestries of life and spun the great wheel of the world machine to move the heavens. When the cosmos grew large and their number few they created the servants, the first angels to work on their behalf. Unfortunately such a decision would lead to their demise.
Just some art from a fantasy world building project that's been in the back burner for a while. This is old art I drew years ago, finally got around to posting it here.
What could’ve been. Classic speculative space art by Robert McCall
Skara, Scourge of the Beast, seeking prey or entertainment
Out of the many great beasts, and elder evils which now walk the world, it is perhaps the Nephilim which are the most powerful and feared. They are the offspring of a mortal and an angel, an inherently an unstable union. They never die nor cease to grow and so they reach monstrous proportions with even larger appetites.
Contrary to believe, Nephilim are not wicked by default, but they do require special care and attention. Unfortunately angels make for terrible parents.

3. The Drone
The Drone is a pure-type monster in the shape of a human. They are relics of a bygone era and those that persist past ancient times often have an existence lacking purpose. The Drone is the holder of forbidden ancient knowledge and the keeper of hidden agendas.
The Drone represents servitude, dedication and obfuscation of truths. Those who wield the Drone will find their livelihood in the control of others and their future chained heavily by past transgressions.
This one is a bit unconventional but I wanted to maintain the sort of dream-like, surrealness of regular tarot card.
Old art - Comics
A short webcomic I made for the WOMBATS, a local art group I used to be apart of. It was a fun little project to make, and the characters are very much inspired by Miis.
Was in a dream vibe and decided to draw a harpy
"They seemed very tired and lacked the desire to move this cycle. Today, this one felt no desire to feed themselves. The rest of the colony is in the same state. My friends, the brakken, are falling very ill and we do not yet know why" - Starmaker , They Who Drinks Deeply of the Clear Waters
The Imsee and their first encounter with BWD, or Brakken Wasting Disease.
The Brakken are unique uplift case in locale space as unlike other sophonts as when the Imsee came across the Brakken weren't originally sapient but were close to it. They were the Imsee's first attempt at genetically engineering an entire alien species and while for the most part the process was a success it did come at a cost.
Brakken wasting disease is the result of the slow breakdown of their cellular structure that first starts in the nervous system and spreads through out the body. The mechanisms of the disease isn't entirely understood as there isn't a viral agent but appears to spread through pheromones and results in the incomplete formation of many important proteins and metabolic enzymes. Its a very slow disease that is difficult to detect and often times when it is, its already too late.
It's first appearance among the brakken completely took the Imsee off guard and nearly whipped out the brakken species, but in modern times, while they still lack the technology to cure it they've significantly increased the lifespans of those who have it and their quality of life.
