THE EKANOX
"The Ekanox" is a horror worldbuilding project that takes place over six thousand years in the future after a world changing apocalypse has destroyed the Earth, turning it into a desolate wasteland. Over a millenia after the Ekanox made contact with Earth and released its pestilence upon the planet, Earth has succumbed to a calamity. The infected, known as beasts, roam the surface and each passing day is a fight for every survivor’s life in a northern land now known as Akuria. What has come of the rest of the world remains a mystery... as far as the Akurians know, they're the last of humanity.With limited technological advances, Akuria's population has been forced to adapt to a terraformed world of flesh and decay. Now ruled by Beasts, Earth is merely a husk of what it once was. The last of humanity finds itself safely hidden away behind a massive wall known as the "Blood Wall", their only protection against the apocalyptic wasteland. Humans known as "hunters" are responsible for hunting and harvesting the beasts for parts and protecting the Blood Wall Society.In this story, we follow the curious and adventerous protagonist Thistle Khousuuh- also known as the "Thunder Dragon"- and countless other characters both in past and present; one way or another, their stories lead back to the Thunder Dragon.Full guide to the world of "The Ekanox" is currently in progress.

BLADE IN THE CITY
"Blade in the City" is a sci-fi thriller and crime drama worldbuilding project that takes place over tenthousand years in the future after humanity's extinction. In this future Earth, creatures derived from man-made bioweapons known as "animans" rule the world. Following in the ruins of humanity, animans have rebuilt the Earth and reestablished new countries, territories, and cities. In addition, they exist with advanced technology and artificial intelligence.This story takes place in a country known as Eaderix. Here lies the largest animan city in the world: Haderia. Haderia was once the capital of the state of Kaiurrus, though after an uprising, the government was forced out of the city and settled a new capital further up north. In the midst of that uprising, the Phantoms acted as a vigilante group that most rebels were affiliated with. The Phantoms then took control of what was left behind by governing bodies and since then has maintained economic stability in Haderia through underground activities with allied groups around and outside of Kaiurrus.To this day, Haderia continues to thrive under the eye of the Phantoms and their current leader, Obasi Adebowale, who is the face and morally ambiguous protagonist of "Blade in the City".BOOK 1 SYNOPSIS
(NOTE: This is a working synopsis. Subject to change.)After going extinct in 3101, humanity is nothing more than an echo. In the wake of man, a new race– the animans, beast-like anthropomorphic creatures– now rule a new Earth with advanced biomachinery and artificial intelligence. The year is 10089. New world governments formed in the ashes of what came before threaten life as all animans know it. In the high-tech city of Haderia, gorilla animan Obasi Adebowale leads the criminal vigilante group known as the “Phantoms”. Born from a century-old legacy, Obasi is both a parent and a revered leader attempting to juggle her familial life with her work as a crime lord. Day by day, her work and her past weighs on her. As she pulls away from the ones she loves, danger looms over Haderia.A handful of mysterious disappearances throughout the districts catch Obasi and the Phantoms’ attention. An old rival, another gorilla named Faraji, and his cultish group rear their heads once more. Life in Haderia as they know it is threatened, animans become enthralled by Faraji’s manipulative beliefs to embrace the end days. Obasi must face herself and her past if she is to face Faraji. Her autonomy is questioned and must brave everything that she has neglected. If Obasi does not brave the face of change, then everything that she has fought for will be lost.Full guide to the world of "Blade in the City" is currently in progress.

will be met with legal action. this includes use for nfts or use for training artifical intelligence.★ DO NOT make any nsfw or sexual comments towards me,

if you draw any fanart! DO NOT DRAW OR MAKE NSFW ART OF MY CHARACTERS PLEASE.

★ Q & A ★★ what program do you use?
i use clip studio paint! i also occasionally draw traditionally in
graphite and inkwash.★ how do i get a commission or custom?
my commissions are announcement based, so keep an eye
out for any announcements!★ i want to talk to you or ask a question, how can i get in touch?
you can e-mail me at [email protected]!★ why do you draw so much personal art?
i want art to be enjoyable for me. that means not focusing on
fanart and commissions every waking moment
i'm at my tablet. additionally, i am a freelance artist, so i tend to
focus heavily on my own personal projects
whenever i am not working on commissions or contract work. art is also a very special and important coping mechanism for me so it’s important that i try to not overwork myself with just commission art alone. in addition, i am a filmmaker and film student, art helps me unwind from this tough work!★ can i make OCs in your worlds?
unfortunately no, not because i'm gatekeeping but
purely because my worlds are constantly developing
and there's too many inconsistencies and changes to
be suitable for public collaboration. :(but! i do plan on eventually making guides that entail canon
information that fan characters can be created off of.
i have no clue when that'll be available... hopefully sometime soon!
