Art & Crafts, with Illustrations!
Fig 1:
Kobolds are a very kinestetic species; the sense of touch being very important to engage with their art & crafts. Colours are appreciated, but are not as important due to their poor eyesight. A lot of their wearable crafts also server dual function as a fidget toy; helping control the species natural high anxiety and energy when focus is desired.
Fig 2:
a) Statuary and self representation is mostly used in instructional art, and funeral markers. This piece is the latter, and a rare example of a hollow marker with a piece of the owners bones inside.
b) Assorted glass, gem and painted stone beads. Most kobolds will have at least a small collection of interesting small stones, and do not discern precious gems from common stones. As long as it catches the eye, it goes in the bag.
c) Decorated sling shot. Shot from slings will often be re-used if successful in their first conflict, and will be decorated with various iconography to convey their luck or battle prowess. This example depicts "bloody teeth" possibly depicting a kill.
Fig 3:
a) Common storage pot. Pottery is a well practiced skill in Kobold communitys, with labelling often being a primitive braille- allowing important vessels to be found even in the dark.
b) Drinking flute. Due to the misalignment of the top and bottom of this flute it seems that it was an early piece fault by the creator rather than an intentional design choice.
c) Eating plate/low bowl. Kobolds do not require cutlery, as their teeth and claws are often of utility enough during meals. plates and bowls will over time be worn down by a flurry of scratches, requiring new crockery to be made.
Kroot & Krootling! My favourite part of the whole Tau empire; which in my opinion should have been Star Treks Federation rather than a weird mash of Gundam and Red China tropes, but I digress.
I like their eating/absorbtion based powers and how they're kind of just chill as far as beings go in the 40k 'verse.
I'd like to play as Big Dad Kroot in a 40k RPG someday.

"Knowledge is Power"
Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.
I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.
This one is Twilight Sparkle; who should of stayed a unicorn dammit.
A first attempt in a long while of a proper full-colour piece with shading.
I've always liked Golem's, I think I was introduced to them via RPG video games but Terry Pratchetts depiction of them really put them in my heart. There's always something so powerful and yet sad about them.

I’m about a year or so late on this meme, but I thought it was fun to make a little animation of everyone’s favourite snake obsessed vampire exterminator.
I love the fantastic narratives Dorf Fort makes for us, this one in particular you could genuinely write into a story or rpg and it'd be a beloved character.
dwarf fortress fucks so hard. my current fort has an occasional patron who is an 86 year old owl lady named 'the frozen one' who spent the first couple of years just perching in trees and watching my dwarves. a two headed fire breathing ettin came to lay siege to the place before I had a proper military established, and while I was freaking out trying to lock doors she just. floated down and tore him in half. when I checked her inventory, all she had was a plain brown dress, socks, shoes, and a pair of gloves. she just ripped him down the middle like a phonebook with her bare talons.
later while checking out other visitors I discovered that almost every bard in the fortress had been her apprentice at some point. eventually she came inside to check out the taverns, and now she just sits around watching performances and getting into arguments about them, feeling nothing. I love her so much.
