DO's Art Thread

Post by DarkOverord »

Whoa hey I'm finally getting around to setting this up superfab it has just been so busy lately and I'd like to feel like I have the time to do what I need to ahaha

I'm a digital artist who, whoa it might be a surprise, draws furries. Sometimes befang'd ones! (Actually this is pretty often since the whole θΔ events of late December 2023)

I'll post the most recent piece here as well as link the relevant forum post to jump down (DO remember to update that on a later piece). You can also find more art that isn't posted here over on my site in the "art" category.


Latest Piece: Summer

There’s no deep meaning behind this other than “DO hates summer” and “DO hates heatwaves” and “I was like this before I got funny θΔ feelings when I made my fursona a vampire, it’s just more valid to hate the sun now”

Other pieces I'm proud of! Whoa! I'll stick these under spoilers so the page isn't too long (but I know that the images load ANYWAY)

I said I could take you anywhere

There's actually three versions of this that you can see in the linked post but here's the version, listen to Secret God Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons or The Lie that Nearly Sealed the Student's Fate for vibes

A little sketch of Annai I posted on social media earlier this month that I decided to finish up in non-commission time.

Decided to also throw in a reference to EX-Annai :3c
Forest Clearing

Tbh I assume when I was doing this piece I had Futatsuiwa from Gensokyo on loop. There's a ver without the darkness over Marcus here (my tanuki sona or whatever he is to me now, that's complicated) on my site.

DarkOverord wrote:Fri Jul 02, 2021 6:57 pmWhat’s Marcus doing here? Was feeling a little burned out so I decided to do something personal.

Which is exactly why it ended up being Extra compared to what I had intended lol

The shirt isn’t any specific design but man I like it. It’s kinda based off Aya’s shirts in Touhou. The background isn’t any specific clearing but it’s inspired by the Youkai Tanuki Forest in Touhou.

It was also a weird self flex considering the main reason I wanted a quick personal break was ‘cus I didn’t want to do a background.

There's a ver darkness which accentuates the space effect of the underbelly etc., but I prefer the light ver.

DarkOverord wrote:Tue May 31, 2022 11:01 pmI'd not done anything for pride in a few years, partly 'cus I generally felt I was too behind on stuff and then June snuck up on me but this year I decided "Oh hey I best do it this year".

Technically this was hinted in Subtle, it was indeed deliberately subtle. But before I get on to that, I still really love the idea of sticking stickers that wash off over time without damaging the magically animate and unpoppable inflatable toy etc. etc.

Hence the pride stickers. ANYWAY what was Subtle about?

Late Jan/early Feb I'd been ruminated on the hit topic we all know and love. Gender. Or, ironically, a lack of one. It's something I've been thinking on for a while 'cus boy howdy it sure is a strange coincidence that I keep making self-characters that are masc but also not really attached to being specifically male. Even the Obstagoon is SUPER masc but I don't really consider them male.

Technically the correct term here probably would be "demiboy/guy/man" (as in, someone who feels male sometimes and other times not). But you know what gave me gender euphoria and what didn't? Agender and demiboy respectively. So I followed the good chemicals and wow internal validation????????

"What does this mean for peeps though? New pronouns?" NOPE :D

A lot of this is internal validation, they/he still works for me and I have no specific preference on which one. Boy howdy that's convenient! 2025 DO EDIT: Lol, lmao even, I'm completely detached from gender, fully it/its, and find being called male or he/him uncomfortable now

But you know, it's good to finally bite and be open about it in a less subtle way :B

I’d have liked to get this out sooner but as it was a personal project I was prioritising commissions/having to scream at new sites ‘cus Twitter might suddenly fuck itself completely at any moment

So here’s Ferris, hanging off an unusually sturdy tree-branch in the night, and you’ve managed to spot them with a torch, lucky you!

Maybe >:3c

On the Border of Incident - Riftmaker's Resealing Attempt
Hidden text.
The link for this piece has a lot of extra details, such as about the magic circles and so on, that I'm not gonna fill up here, but the main gist of the image I'm still posting here :3

From here the one probably isn't a surprise, but your "what are the vibes here" music is all Touhou and is Battlefield of the Flower Threshold, both the original version in Urban Legend in Limbo as well as the version from the fan-game Frantically Forbidden Fruit. I'm pretty sure also Yorimashi Between Dreams and Reality ~ Necro-Fantasia and Demystify Feast tbh...

What do you mean you didn't make your OCs super Touhou-y and didn't give your main sona back in 2009(?) stupid powers? Just me? Ha ha : )

Young Sigel, you’ve spent all day aimlessly wandering around performing the most lacklustre investigation I’ve seen you do in a while, and then you have the audacity to blame me! It’s taking a lot from me to even perform this blending of time, I’m not some being who can easily manipulate boundaries, to seal the real cause of this incident but if you’re so intent on fighting me then very well…

Show me, o foolish Guardian of the Order who skirts responsibility, your actual resolve so I may send you to that who you truly should be fighting!
I figured for a year of the dragon (Wood Dragon, 2024) I should actually do art with DarkOverord, in fact other than the reference, this is the first rendered piece with the original DarkOverord since 2021!

I so rarely actually do art of DO actually using its abilities, especially in more rendered pieces like this, that I wanted actually do that for once. So here DarkOverord is, clearly initiating some kind of attack after splitting time in this area in two. The rift above them is a coincidence, DO blundered that in to existence either in the future or past (it’s paradoxical like that) and can’t reseal it.

Pay no attention to the lack of words from the overly instinct driven hedge… bat… hog. Maybe you should run? If you can!

A Blood Moon for a Thirsty Koopa

DarkOverord wrote:Tue Oct 01, 2024 6:00 pm So this was originally meant to be for Bowser Day but uh, I let scope run a bit too much

So now it’s an early Halloween pic ‘cus I can just say that because I’m the artist and I say so. We’ve had me as a (royal?) koopa before but that was a lot more hedgehog like, and also when the fangs were significantly shorter. So I wanted to do something a bit more batty and vampire-like oh noooooo

I really have a bad habit of letting scope creep happen in personal projects lol.
Synth DarkOverord? Simon? Both???? Me!

There's some extra details in the link that I didn't want to clutter here (it's already a long post)

DarkOverord wrote:Sun Feb 16, 2025 5:30 pm So last year I did a few doodles when I found out the 16th of February was the anniversary day Vader-san posted the fact sheets for his Synth species (1, 2, 3, 4), and officially made them an open species. I’d been meaning to design one for years but last Feb I finally I did a sketch and played with it

The basic design principles were simple: It’s based off my hedgehog, Simon, but it isn’t particularly “that shape” so I basically smashed Simon and DarkOverord (the dragon) together.

Simon points: Red colour, fangs (duh), eyes, claw colours, bite mark and tongue colour, also clearly somehow still a vampire
DO points: Zigzag horns, underbelly and leg patterns, its whompus tail, The Chest Gem 95% of the DOs Have

So I went about and then y’know, I got ill. I had it all ready to go after Regdeh’s commission hoping to do it on the Friday after I streamed that piece (which would’ve been 2025-01-24). So I decided to do it as a “Well I’m well now right?” returning stream on the 2nd and 3rd of February.

The glowy lines are a little Extra™ but I was having fun. I like how it came out!
