Art

Art is an important aspect of Reverie and my creative process. Along with worldbuilding, it is something I am genuinely passionate about. This article serves as a gallery of sorts for the artworks I've made for Reverie. Some of these have ended up in articles, while others didn't. I make most of my drawings with IbisPaint, on my phone. When I'm not drawing digitally, I mostly draw on my sketchbook. Most of my concept art is actualy on my sketchbook.

Cover Art

This is one of the first pieces of art that i've explicitly made for Reverie. It acts as the cover/thumbnail for the world and its homepage.

As someone who primarily draws characters, concept art surrounding locations and landscapes is something I really struggle with, so creating the concept art for Mossbone really helped expand what I was capable of. Mossbone was actually the first setting I've ever drawn digitally

Character Art

Character art is the form of art the I love to do the most. When creating characters for Reverie, I want them to have unique sillhouettes that add whimsy and style. When creating characters, I take inspiration from artists such as Lavendertowne, Nanaco Yashiro, and artists I follow on social media. The character illustration on the right was actually inspired by characters on Everskies

When I wrote a short fairytale called The Princess of the Peonies, I created numerous artworks to accompany the story, and give it an almost storybook effect.

Miscellaneous Artworks

The background I use for my article pages.

The Pearl Market which I did for the Cabinet of Curiosities, allowed me to do a bunch of object illustrations at once. It was also inspired by a tiktok trend of the same name.

Base used to create all of my article cover images.

Concept art for the The Slumbering City. Although the drawing is realtively simple, I wanted the architecture to be unique and otherworldly, and I tried my best to make it unlike any buildings you would find in the real world. I also took a little bit of inspiration from glass blowing/glass sculptures for the shape language and design.

I actually have plenty of drawings of this knife in my sketchbooks. I really love using eyes as a motif when creating objects such as charms or weapons. It adds to the surrealism and makes them feel more at home in my world.
