A black and white drawing of Wayne and Shep from the comic Shepherd's Sword. Shep is a shorter dark haired woman on the left, holding a small lamb in her arms, which is is chewing on Wayne's sleeve. Wayne is a taller woman on the right with short dark hair and a pair of wolf ears sticking out of her head. The two women are glancing at each other and smiling.

The webcomic @theshepherdsswordby@renstrapp just finished its first chapter today so I figured I would share some fanart I did a little while ago for it!

If a tale about werewolves, curses, and a pair of butch lesbeans trekking through fantasy Appalachia interests you then give it a read!

A couple of black and white sketches. The sketch on the left of a young Sol around the age of 10. She is holding a broomstick and there are twigs and leaves in her hair. The sketch on the right if of Sol lifting an unconscious Nyx out of a tangle of thorns with a concerned look on her face.

A black and white sketch with some colour accents of Sol with her arm protectively around Nyx, who has her face pressed into Sol’s chest, and her longsword held out defensively in front of them both. Two large golden wings stretch from Sol’s back.

Some more sketches. One of a young Sol dragging around a broom she can’t even fly and some melodrama from the main story.

A series of black and white sketches of Sol sewing a warm fur lining into Nyx’s cloak while day dreaming about Nyx’s joyful gratitude and embracing her out of thanks until finally Sol shakes herself out of her daydreams. Followed by a bottom sketch where helps Nyx put on her new cloak while Nyx similarly daydreams about Sol tenderly kissing her on the forehead.

A series of black and white sketches of Sol and Nyx that could be read as a comic. Image one (left) Sol is standing with Nyx reading a book to her right. Sol is chattering idly with a word balloon indicating such with the caption “idea chatter” while she unconsciously reaches out with her right hand and gently strokes the side of Nyx’s face in what is labeled with a pin arrow a “tender touch.” Image two Sol immediately pulls her hand away from Nyx’s face upon realizing what she is doing and looks away blushing. Nyx similarly stops reading and whips her head around to stare at Sol. A thought bubble emanates from Sol’s head in which she thinks to herself “Why do I keep doing that??” while a similar one flows from Nyx’s head that reads “Why does she keep doing that?”

A black and white sketch that follows from the previous one in the gallery. It depicts Nyx staring askance at a partially obscured Sol. Nyx is blushing but her expression reads as suppressed frustration while she thinks to herself through thought bubble “But more importantly... Why does she keep stopping??”

A black and white sketch where Nyx is in a mock interview. The interviewer asks her “Excuse me miss, are you a touch starved gay or a sleep deprived gay?” Nyx leans forward and says simply “Yes.”

A black and white sketch of Sol (left), seated and glancing over with a chuckle concealed behind her left hand at Nyx (right) who is looking directly at the viewer, similarly seated with her legs crossed along with her arms, her expression on of anger as lightning magic crackles around her head.

Things are getting fraught in here.

a digital drawing of Sol and Nyx sitting under a concave standing stone, watching heavy rain pour down around them. Nyx is in the middle of reading her grimoire as she looks up, while Sol is enraptured by the downpour. Small runes on the shadowy edge of the stone glow a faint purple.

a digital drawing of Sol and Nyx viewed from above as they walk through a lush green sunny field. Sol has her arms outstretched in joy as she soaks in the sun while Nyx looks over at her in amusement.

a digital drawing of Sol and Nyx standing in a field scattered with standing stones. Above them are large fluffy clouds (cumulonimbus) piled high, and at the top of the highest cloud is a castle so bright and shining it is like the sun. Nyx is gesturing up at it with her hand outstretched.

a digital drawing of Sol and Nyx facing off against a massive demon that is emerging from the mists. Magic lightning crackles from Nyx's hands while Sol has her sword drawn. This scene takes place in a field with a few standing stones scattered about.

A coloured digital drawing of Sol and Nyx sitting on a grassy hill beside a towering standing stone. In the distance is the Mist and then cumulonimbus clouds on the horizon, glowing gold from the sunset. In the blue sky are three full moons.

A digital drawing of Sol and Nyx sitting next to a tall standing stone in a field at night. They have a small campfire going and are cooking food in a small cauldron. Behind them are the Mists marching along the horizon and in the clear starry sky are the three moons as crescents.

In the style of the Peach Time Meme, Sol draw in a very simple style with droopy eyes and a placid smile, looking to her left at text that reads “oc time.”

A joke image depicting Sol as a hulking buff square towering over a small demon with her longsword in her hand and wearing some kind of harness, then an arrow the points to a flipped version of Sol where the viewer can see her back and what is being held in the harness is a tiny Nyx in a baby bjorn, her hands raised and cracking with lightning.

A redraw of the Drake Meme using Nyx. The top image is of Nyx in the Drake rejection pose while next to her the text says: Making a familiar pact with an animal, like a sane person. The bottom image is of Nyx in the Drake acceptance pose with a little spark of lightning emitting from her finger while the text next to her says: Making a familiar pact with a human (Demi-God??).

A black and white sketch of Sol and Nyx participating in the Pockey Challenge. From the top left, Sol teases Nyx with a Pockey stick held in her mouth and then pulls away when Nyx goes to bite it. From the bottom left Nyx strikes Sol in the gut with lightning magic and the Pockey falls from Sol’s mouth for Nyx to grab and run away with while Sol lies prone on the ground in the background.

More shenanigans with my funky lil lesbians.

A black and white digital drawing of Sol and Nyx kissing. Nyx has her arms wrapped around Sol’s neck while Sol has hers wrapped around Nyx’s upper back, seeming to lift her up to meet her lips.

A black and white digital drawing of Mel (a woman with short straight dark hair) and Harmony (a woman with long dark curly hair tied into a ponytail with a bow) kissing. Harmony is the one initiating the kiss, flying into Mel’s arms with her own arms wrapped around Mel’s neck. Harmony’s eyes are closed while Mel’s are open in surprise.

a black and white digital drawing of three women. The two on both the right and the left are planting kisses on the face of the shortest woman in the middle. The one on the left (Sylva) has short black hair done in chin length dreadlocks and is wearing a fleece lined jean jacket and a simple t-shirt. She has her left arm draped across the shoulders of the shortest woman in the middle (Angela) who has her black hair done in a crown twist style that ends in two twisted low buns at the back of her head. She is wearing a fancy button up shirt with frills and black slacks. She is smiling bashfully. The woman on the right (Gem) is the tallest. She has very long voluminous black curly hair tied back with a bandana. She is wearing jewellery, earrings and a necklace that features large smooth gems. She is wearing a low cut crop top and wrap around pants.

A black and white digital drawing of two older women kissing. The taller one is the God of Earth and she has very long and voluminous dark hair, a pair of antlers, a shining sprout levitating over her head. Her ears are like those of a deer and she wears a cloak made of leaves. Earth is kissing her wife Yarrow, who is much shorter. Yarrow has shoulder length blonde hair that is tied back with a bandana. She has freckles and is wearing a plaid button up. Yarrow has placed a hand on Earth’s shoulder, which Earth is tenderly touching with her own. Yarrow’s eyes are closed as they kiss while Earth’s are open out of curiosity and affection.

A black and white digital drawing of two women embracing, the taller one kissing the shorter one on the forehead. The taller is Crin. She has short dark curly hair with a bandana tied across her brow. She is wearing a coat with a large fur rimmed hood that replicates the image of a mane. She is wearing long black fingerless gloves and a black turtleneck with a boob window. She has a few ear piercings. Her arms are draped across her girlfriend Wolf’s shoulders, and in between the middle and ring fingers of her right hand she is holding a list cigarette that has thin line of smoke trailing from it. Wolf has long straight dark hair tied back into braids that go across her brow and tie behind the back to her head, and one large braid that goes down her back. She is wearing a white tank top. She is much buffer than Crin and had her arms wrapped around Crin’s upper back. Wolf has many scars on both her face and arms.

The Jackal is wearing a dark halter top and has many piercings in her ears along with dangling earrings. The Wild Dog is wearing a white tank top and has stretched lobes with gauges in them. Her arms are cross across her chest while Jackal has a hand to Wild Dog’s cheek to better pull her in for a kiss.

A black and white digital drawing of Ajo and Kagra embracing. Ajo has her arms around Kagra’s waist while Kagra has one hand on Ajo’s shoulder while the other is up to her chin, bringing her in for a kiss.

Eyyy~ I participated in @ockissweek but kept all my contributions to the challenge within a closed discord server with friends before finally uploading everything to my website blog (link in my bio). Now I’m bringing everything here.

If you want to know more about each of these characters and my thoughts on this challenge, I recommend reading my previously mentioned blog post.

Get used to seeing these two!Sol and Nyx are a pair of demon hunting lesbians who I thought up back

Get used to seeing these two!

Sol and Nyx are a pair of demon hunting lesbians who I thought up back in 2020. Their story is what will be replacing Star Trip as my next long form project once Star Trip ends this year. Although rather than a webcomic, their tale will be a series of illustrated novels.

(Image descriptions under the cut)

Image 1: A digital drawing of two women. The one of the left (Sol) is tall with warm brown skin and curly golden hair tied back into a ponytail and pitch black eyes. She is wearing a big winter jacket with a fur hood, a cowl around her neck, a cream and green tunic, slacks, boots, and gloves. She is holding a large sword, almost as tall as she is, in her right hand. The sword is pointed downwards, resting with its point in the ground. It has a red cloth wrapped around its hilt. The woman on the right (Nyx) is shorter than Sol and has dark brown skin, black hair, And bright yellow eyes with purplish blue highlights. She is dressed in a dark grey cape with a hood, which is pinned together at the front, a long grey tunic, which is cinched around the waist with a cord of rope, long johns, which she wears under her tunic, a pair of boots, and finger-less gloves. She also has a side bag slung across her chest. Her left hand is extended and lightning/electricity the same colour as her eyes circle it.

Image 2: A page full of black and white sketches of Sol (taller woman with light curly long hair) and Nyx (shorter woman with short dark hair). Top left to right: Sol holding Nyx as if she is an angry cat and Nyx depicted as such with little cat ears on her head pointing backwards and a furiously swishing cat tail. Both Sol and Nyx standing in profile facing the left with Nyx nestled under Sol’s right arm, which is wrapped around the back of Nyx’s shoulders protectively while held in Sol’s right hand is a long sword. Nyx in an aggressive stance and a furious look on her face as lightning crackles from her hands, her right hand with the palm open held away from her body and her left in a fist at her side.Bottom right to left: A half body sketch of Sol facing ¾ to the right with a grin on her face as she glances to the left, her right hand raised to chin in the ASL sign for “Lesbian.” A bust sketch of Nyx in profile facing towards the right and two small bolts of lightning emanate from her head. A small bust sketch of both Sol (smiling) and Nyx (frowning).

Image 3: More black and white sketches of Sol and Nyx. From left to right. Nyx crouched on the ground with her arms wrapped around her knees as she glances to her left. At the upper middle of the page, a bust drawing of Nyx looking disdainfully down at the viewer as she says “tch!” Bottom middle another drawing of Nyx, this time half body, she is looking up at the viewer with her arms crossed and a disdainful sneer while small sparks of symbolic lightning emit from her head. Far right, a half body drawing of both Sol and Nyx where Sol has patted Nyx on the head to calm her down, which Nyx does so with a small grumpy frown and a blush on her cheeks.

Image 4: Yet another page full of black and white sketches that could be read as a comic from left to right depicting Sol and Nyx fighting demons. Far left image depicts a sketch of Nyx in that one meme of Marge Simpson with her left fist raised and her eyes narrowed in contemplation, the word balloon pointing to Nyx reads “It seems I am filled with RAGE.” Centre image is of Nyx on the back of a large demon, the two of them facing the right in profile. Nyx has her hands held against the demon’s head as she zaps it with lightning magic and the demon opens its mouth as if crying out in pain.Top right image is a small sketch of Nyx spitting on the remains of the demon she just killed. The demon’s disintegrating body is reduced to just part of their frowning face.Bottom right is small sketch of Sol facing towards the left but looking over her shoulder to the right at what Nyx is up to. There is a concerned look on her face as she says “Hmmm…” and cleaves the head off a frowning demon using her long sword.

Image 5: A coloured digital drawing of Sol and Nyx. Nyx is standing facing the viewer with a frown on her face, orange lightning arcing menacingly between her hands. Sol stands behind her, her large sword held behind her head by her right hand. Sol looks down at the viewer with a smile on her face.

Image 6: A comic in the vein of a Buzzfeed Unsolved skit. Panel 1: a crop of just Sol and Nyx’s heads, Sol has her left hand raised next to her mouth and yells “Fuck you, demon!” while next to her Nyx shouts “SOL!!” At her in shock. Panel 2: A wide shot of the two women standing on a bridge, facing the viewer, Sol looks ready to fight while Nyx looks anxious. Behind them, partially obscured by the mists, is a large horned demon, shadowy in colour with glowing orange eyes and mouth. Neither woman is aware of the demon. Sol says “If you want me off this bridge you’re gonna have to kill me!” Nyx says “Have you lost your mind??”

Image 7: A black and white sketch of Sol and Nyx depicting another Buzzfeed Unsolved meme/skit. They are sitting next to each other at a desk. Sol is leaning back a bit with an unconcerned look on her face. Both her hands are raised with her elbows resting on the desk and she is pointing both index fingers up. Next to Sol, Nyx looks irritated and is pointing at her with an accusing finger.

Sol: I’ve connected the two dots.

Nyx: You didn’t connect shit.

Sol: I’ve connected them.

I am returning to posting some art to this blog rather than just webcomic updates. I want to focus on my original content though, so there won’t be a lot of fanart these days. You can also keep up with my art via my website blog, which is linked in my bio here. I tend to post things first over there, and they are accompanied with my written thoughts and feelings. Art posts here will be a lot less verbose. We’ll see though!

Thanks for hanging out for so long.
