#WoTtober Destruction

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital sketch on a light grey canvas, portraying a man's head drawn in dark red lines, with a lot of hands drawn in blue lines surrounding it, some groping and clawing at it. The man is bald, and looks entirely mad, his wide eyes have a crazy look to them, and his mouth is wide open and a finger stretches it from one corner, another one pressing the lower lip down. The side most hands, bigger than the rest, look like they could even be the man's own hands, held in the air on either side of his head as he screams. The artist's signature and the year 2026 are in the bottom right corner.

Wolfbrothers' rest

#WoTtober Smoke

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital illustration drawn in flat solid colors, using only five colors: white, orange, light orange-ish yellow, light blue and a cerulean blue. The drawing is of a night time scene of a campfire-lit private patch in the woods. A long-haired man with a long beard, a flat topped fur hat, and a fur over his shoulders, sits on a fallen tree trunk, leaning forward with his elbows on his thighs. In front of him, a campfire burns, creating a lazy serpentine column of smoke that spreads upwards. On the other side of the campfire, a wolf lays curled up, sharing the peaceful fire with the man. In the background are a few trees, lit by the light of the fire. The shadowy sides of rocks and a tree trunk cover the forefront of the image, only their edges drawn with the warm colors of the light. The base of the illustration is fully cerulean blue, the lighter blue used only for the smoke rising up from the fire, and white is used in small pars of the smoke, giving it more shape, and on the flames. The shapes and figures are all drawn through the light of the campfire, using both the orange and yellow to bring out the shapes, and leaving the shadows undrawn, cerulean blue. The artist's signature and the year 2026 are in the bottom right corner.

#WoTtober Clan Chief

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital illustration of a man on his knees and one hand on the ground, looking at the back of his right hand where a tattoo like dragon mark starts and coils up around his arm. He is drawn with black sketchy lineart and shaded with shades of grey. The dragon on his arm is red. He has latticeworked shoulder pauldrons, a scarf around his neck and sleeves pulled up to his elbows. His hair is short, except for a thin braided rat-tail at the nape of his neck. He is on the ground amidst slim glass columns that extend to the top edge of the image and shine bright. The columns, and light rays and lense flares from them, have light yellow, cyan and magenta hues, giving the image color. The ground and background are otherwise simple textured greys. The artist's signature and the year 2026 are in the bottom right corner.

Do they celebrate Feast of Fools at the White Tower, too? Now they do!

#WoTtober Opposites

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital painterly sketch of a young woman in a simple white dress laying on an elaborate wide throne while a woman in a bright red and gold outfit squats scrubbing the floor with a rag. The young woman in white looks relaxed. She has a smile on her face, her eyes are closed and she has her left hand behind her head, as she leans on a large red pillow. On the throne, which is wide enough for her to lay on, there are six other pillows of different sizes and shapes: one yellow, one grey, one blue, one brown, one green and one white pillow - the colors of the Ajah's. The seat's front and the tall arched back of the throne has very detailed stonework on it. The woman squatting on the foreground is at a 45 degree angle from her left back, so her face is not visible. She has a large halo like golden head piece, made of dagger like pieces pointing at her head. Her dark hair is in a bun, with some golden hair needles poking out of it. She has a golden vest like garment with a cape or long tail as part of it. Underneath she is wearing a blood red long dress, with long draping sleeves, the fabric gathered into a thick layer of folds on the floor. Her left hand is stretched out and holds a brown rag against the floor as she cleans the stone. The throne and outfits are references to the Wheel of Time tv-series' version of an Accepted's white outfit, Elaida's red and golden outfit as the Amyrlin, and the Amyrlin Seat itself. The artist's signature and the year 2026 is in the bottom right corner.

Bowl of the Winds in still image format!

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital painting of a wide glass bowl with an elaborately embossed base. It has the coloration of a sunset, with a yellow center on the embossed base, turning red at the edge of the embossing, with the smooth curved bowl part in a gradient from red to orange to muted pink to a blue at the edge. A ring of silhouettes of clouds decorates the smooth inner surface. The bowl sits on a flat light grey background, and a sourceless light shines through the bowl, casting its colors and clouds onto the grey at an angle. The artist's signature and the year 2026 are in the bottom right corner.

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital sketch with messy lines and hatch shading over simple watercolor shading, all in purple, of a sitting man and a woman crawling on him from behind him. The image is cut from below the man's chest. The man is wide shouldered, wearing a simple shirt with a loose collar and low neckline revealing some chest hair. He has a short afro and a full beard. He has sweat on his face and a shocked look, with the faintest awkward curve at the edges of his mouth. The woman has her bare right leg over his right shoulder, and she is leaning over his left shoulder with her arm on his upper chest. Her hand is up and caressing the right side of face. Her other arm is up behind them, gently bent at the elbow as she is performing a sensual dance. She is looking at the man's face with a smile, her cheek resting on the side of his head. She has dark medium length hair that hangs over her shoulder. The background is a vibrant watercolor yellow, and the same color is used on the man's irises, making them stand out in the image.

Didn't have time to draw anything today either, so here's an unfinished and previously unpublished pic from 3 years ago of an Aelfinn for #WoTtober Visage.

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital painting of a greenish yellow skinned humanoid with some snake like features. The person is visible from just under the chest up. They have their arms crossed gently over their chest, with their hands barely touching the opposite shoulder and very pronounced collarbone. Their fingers are longer than a normal person's would be, just enough to be uncanny. The have unnatural neck muscles down the sides of their neck, attached to the collarbones, and a pronounced Adam's apple. Their chin is slightly lifted up, thin black lips parted in a smile, revealing two little snake like fangs. Their nose is flat and wide, and they are breathing in weaves of One Power, which has turned their eyes vibrant greenish yellow, with clear bright veins surrounding thin black slits for pupils. Similar veins spread out from the eyes, going around scales on its cheeks and nose. The face portrays odd pleasure. They have a thick brow with no eyebrows, and very round and pronounced cheekbones with deeply hollow cheeks. Their hairline is an almost perfect arch on top of their head, with long black slick and straight hair hanging down behind him. One visible ear has a little point to it. They seem to be naked, their skin covered in scales. A sickly yellow light hits them from above, lighting their face and collarbone and partially their hands, as well. The background is shades of a deep and rich blue, with a faint blue aura around the being's head. The bottom right corner has the artist's signature and the year 2023.

Anyone up for a match at the #WoTtober Courtyard?

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital illustration of a fake 2D fighting game stage with a 2 versus 1 fight. On the top, there are wide red healthbars, with thinner green stamina bars underneath them, in purple frames. Above the healthbars are the names of the characters written with capital letters in black old schooly pixel font. On the left side the names are "Lord Gawyn Trakand" on the top, and "Lord Galadedrid Damodred" below him. On the right side is "Matrim Cauthon". Next to the healthbars are portraits of the characters in the fight. Gawyn is a reddish brown haired man with blue eyes, Galadedrid a dark brown haired bearded man with blue eyes, and Matrim a curly brown haired man with a thinner beard. Between the healthbars are big white letters "VS" with purple edges. In the center of the image of the word "fight" in very large capital letters, white with thin purple edges. Purple lighting spreads out from behind it, and a thin white horizontal line with sparks run over the lightning bolts, behind the word, from side to side. On the bottom half of the image, Gawyn and Galadedrid stand with a sword in their hands each. Gawyn is on the left, holding his sword downwards on his side, and Galad stands holding his sword up and ready, both facing the staff-wielding Matrim on the right at equal level. The background is supposedly a part of a warders' training ground courtyard. Wooden arches on at the edge of a mostly shaded sidewalk hold up a wall. Lanterns hang from wooden pillars, and the back wall of the sidewalk is stone, with some bricks visible. There are crates and tied up sacks on the sidewalk. The background has a halftone texture on it. Each character is in a ready stance, the fight hasn't started yet. The artist's signature is on the left bottom with the year 2026.

A quickie for #WoTtober Tel'aran'rhiod.

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital painting sketch of a woman looking at a bright star in her hands, with the image of a couple within it. The woman is a quick approximation without any detail on the left side of the picture. She has dark hair, golden brown skin and muted green long sleeved clothing. The image is from behind her at a 45 degree angle, looking over her right shoulder, at the hands she holds in front of her. A large bright star floats between her hands, and within it is an image of a man holding a woman against him. The man has orange hair and a red coat with golden embroidery on the collar, cuff and upper sleeve. The embroidery on the upper sleeve is in the shape of a lion. His hand rests gently placed on the side of the neck of the woman leaning her head on his shoulder. The woman is the same as the one looking at the star with this image in it. She has dark hair, darker skin than the man, and a muted green, wide cuffed and puff sleeved dress. She is smiling, with her eyes closed, and her cheeks are a little flushed. The background is shades of very dark blue, with more stars in it.

No time for a bigger and better pic but here's something Festival of Birdsy for #WoTtober Tradition :P

#thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital illustration drawn with black lines on a light grey background, portraying a woman from her chest up, and her child on her back. She holds his hands up in the air on either side of them, as she's turned to look over her shoulder at him with a wide open smile. The child is wearing a feathery mask with eyeholes, and a wide feather collar. The mother has ruffle around her neck and on the sleeves that reach her elbows. Her hair is a thick curly bush and there's a ribbon with feathers and beads attached to it.

After last night's horrors with the previous prompt, something quicker and simpler for today... If it pleases you, an assortment of Chora shape ideas.

#WoTtober #thewheeloftime #zuconart

A digital illustration of an assortment of different tree silhouettes drawn in a darkish shade of teal on a flat grey background. There are 21 different shapes presented. 1st one has two trunks with one shared foliage, their branches meet in the middle to form an arch between the trunks. 2nd is fan-shaped, with four branches spreading out from one point, all ending in one shared arched foliage. 3rd resembles a long haired perm from the 80s. 4th resembles a cannabis leaf with seven points. 5th is a slim and sagging-branched tree with leaves hanging in long straight ribbons. 6th is a palm tree with rounder and softer foliage. 7th has three separate trees in it, each of a different height, and each with a different sized sideways-oval shaped foliage. 8th is just an upright ring with a stick coming down from the center of it. 9th is a wide snowman in shape. 10th has a V shaped thin trunk with an upright donut shape for foliage. 11th looks like a simple trefoil leaf. 12th has three slim tall trees with long oval shaped foliage. 13th is an upside down ice-cream cone with the ice-cream half eaten so it's flatter. 14th is a thin trunk with a large burger shaped foliage, if the burger was just the buns. 15th is like an elegant diagonal brimmed hat with inky the brim. 16th's trunk splits in two at the top, each branch with a different sized ball shaped foliage. 17th is three layers of wide flat foliages, connected by one or two slim branches in-between the layers. It looks asian in the most wonderful way to me. 18th is a dandelion shaped tree. 19th is like a soft ice swirl. 20th is just a lollipop shape and the 21st looks like a slim legged tall mushroom.

A generic Asha'man with its stand The Black Tower, á la Jojo, for #WoTtober day 3.

#zuconart #thewheeloftime

A digital illustration of a man and a humanoid version of the Black Tower from the Wheel of Time, drawn in imitation of the unique style of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The man is in a peculiar pose, standing on tiptoes with his legs stretched far apart in a long crossed step. He leans forward with his upper body in a slightly bent over position, but keeps his head up leaning back, his eyes directed at the viewer. His left shoulder is pushed forward as he holds his arm stretched out in front of him, with the back of his hand pointing away from him, fingers towards his left. His other arm is lifted up, bent at the elbow, hand resting on his hair with his pinky down by his left eye. He is wearing a high and wide collared dark jacket with a silver sword pin on the collar. The jacket is held closed by a heart shaped silver pin just under the collar, leaving an open boob window from which his bare chest is visible. He has brown breeches and dark boots. He is fair of skin and dirty blonde of hair. Behind him, in a one-knee-forward high leap, is his Jojo "stand". This personification of the Black Tower is mostly dark in coloration with a lighter grey secondary color. It's at a 45 degree angle, with its back visible to the viewer. Its head is a long stone tower, with a gate as its face. Pillars on either side of the gate form its eyes and tear lines coming down from them. Between the pillars is small purtcullis and below it, the stand's thick lips. The head is leaning back and turned to face the viewer. Its upper arms are similar kind of stone towers in shape, rising up as elevated shoulders. Its right elbow is pulled close to its body and it hold its hand in claw like form. It has armor like pieces on, lighter grey in color, including a collared crop top, thick stone block panties, elbow and knee pads, and a wide ring around each wrist and ankle. It has very high heeled shoes. The background is a tiled halftone orange. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.

#WoTtober is here yay! Here's my no-wheel version of a Jo-car

#zuconart #thewheeloftime

A digital illustration of a futuristic tear-shaped vehicle that hovers in the air. Drawn in messy sketch lines of a darker and a lighter shade of turquoise on a flat grey background. The top part of the image is colored darker grey, and in the center of it is a hovercraft, a sideways turned tear shape with the pointier end serving as the rear and the wider and rounder part as the front. The bottom half is slightly flatter. One large curved window takes up the top half of the front, and through it, simple shapes resembling four people can be seen sitting inside the vehicle, two at the front, and another two behind them. Below the large windshield is a long stripe, much lighter in color, supposedly continuing around the entire front, set slightly deeper into the vehicle. It serves as the vehicles front and side lights, as a very wide beam of lighter grey comes out of it. A similar but much smaller indented light is at the pointier rear end, serving as the back lights of the vehicle. The light coming from the front fuses the top part of the image with the bottom half, as they are made of the same color. A smaller top view sketch of the vehicle is on the center left, showing lines where the side doors would be next to the window, one on either side. A platform with arrow lines pointing towards the inside through the length of it leads to one of the open doorways. At the bottom of the image is the same side view of the vehicle as the one on top, but only done with sketch lines and no hues of grey to separate lighter part from darker part. Next to the vehicle is a person of average height for a scale. The jo-car is much closed to the ground here and the person is slightly taller than the vehicle. The side doorway leading into it is open, with no visible door in it, and a long platform stretches out from it, reaching the ground, with a stripe of light on either edge of it. A very simple flat grey outline of a wheelchair sits on the platform, on its way inside.

Spent five times longer creating this detail for the embroidery, before I even started thinking about the shape or colors of the outfit.
#zuconart

A lineart drawing of a set of stained glass windows without the colored panes forming a single tall decoration with a pointed arch at the top. The lines are all in gold-like colors. The separate window parts of the full piece are large detailed circle, a wide arched arrow on top of the circle, arched corners pieces on either side below the circle, forming the top half of the piece, and the bottom half has four tall rectangular windows next to each other at the base, with small arched triangular windows atop each of them, and small round windows between said triangular windows, plus two small corner piece windows to frame the set.
Imagery featured in the windows contain a lot of stars with differing numbers of points, some planets, and the base rectangular windows form one large image of a mountain scenery at night with northern lights.
