A book cover of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight; a D&D modular campaign set in the Feywild.

Vent art of Vulas Dracanis, my D&D OC. He is a half-elf Draconic sorcerer wearing a robe with long wild hair and dragon scales on his face. In this image, he is rendered completely in blue. He is crying, with his hands clutching both arms, and in a kneeling position. He is in a featureless void with a white floor and a dark background. The only thing around him are his thoughts.

He is surrounded by thoughts and images of the people who he has lost, or the people he has let down. In the top left is Verian; Vulas's father. He is a half elf draconic sorcerer, and the leader of the Dracanis Council. His quote reads "You were a waste of your mother's short time", referring to his human mother Sarah who disowned Vulas for running away.

To the right of Verian is Deismous the Villain, who is holding Verian who was turned into a pet lizard by him. Deismous's quote is "You did this to him Vulas", and Verian is saying a false memory/assumption "You did this to me Vulas". Although Vulas did not turn his father into a lizard, he takes the blame for it.

On the bottom left is Lorith; Vulas's cousin whom he met with early on. Her quote is "The prophecy says a weak Dracanis will destroy the family", with a false memory/assumption that says "I guess that's you".

On the bottom right is both 'Blue' Danny and Cursed Danny. Together they're saying "I don't love you Vulas", with one text being real and one being an assumption. Blue Danny doesn't love Vulas and broke his heart in the previous episode, but Vulas is now turning that upset on his memory of Cursed Danny.

He is also surrounded by other words too: Waste, They don't love you Vulas, Hopeless, They only loved you because you were a dracanis, pathetic, you'll never be a family again, weak, it's all your fault, monster, how could he ever love you, cursed, they all hate you, disgrace, fool, unlovable.

Very faintly below Vulas, it also says "Everything everyone says about me is true" as he blames himself for everything

A picture of DrawersOverCabinet's OC Lily Hiko, standing in front of Santa's sleigh and an airport. Behind is a night sky with an aurora borealis. Lily is wearing a red and green elf outfit, with a pointy hat, protective headphones, a red tunic with green and white striped tights, and a brown belt. Santa's sleigh has gold trims and is red, with a large sack on the back. On the side are two jet engines. Behind this is a large airport building, as well as hangars and a runway.

A picture of my half-elf draconic sorcerer Vulas standing next to Starrysidetrinket's DnD OC Merlu, who is a Tabaxi. Vulas is awkwardly holding his hands up and looking away with a cartoonish sweat drop running down his face. He has rainbow hair tied in a messy bun, pale skin, bronze scales on his face, and a pointy nose. He is wearing a pink polka dot shirt and red striped dungarees, with small green clown shoes. His body is covered in paint marks from previous mistakes.

Meanwhile, Merlu is looking down amazed at the unicorn plushie he holds in his hands. He is a short Tabaxi (cat person) with light brown fur and dark patches. His tail is striped, and he has long ginger hair. He also has a bald spot on his forehead. He is wearing a cosy red jumper and grey trousers, with no shoes (as he doesn't wear them).

The unicorn plush that Merlu is holding is pink with rainbow hair and a golden horn. It has too much fluff, to the eyes are bulging out cartoonishly cute. It has a little tongue sticking out too. It looks very goofy, but also adorable.

The background is green with golden sparkles, and around the outside is a red border with gold. Above Merlu is text in the form of a letter or note that says the following.

"To Merlu,
I made you this unicorn plushie. Apologies, but I think I used too much stuffing. It's been a while since I saw a unicorn too...
From Vulas"

A black and white sketch, featuring the half-elf draconic sorcerer Vulas Dracanis in a rainstorm. In one hand, he is holding an umbrella, and he has a sad look on his face with no tears. He is wearing a tunic, and has short even ears and long wavy hair. He is sitting on a large rock, and the ground around him is becoming surrounded by puddles. The top right corner says "The rain won't last forever..."

Vulas Dracanis the half-elf Draconic sorcerer sitting on a large rock in a rainstorm. The rain is coming down and soaking him, and creating large puddles around him. Tears are flowing in his eyes. He has short elven ears, messy wavy hair, and is wearing a large tunic with boots. He is coloured completely in blue for a stylistic effect.

The top left has the words "The rain won't last forever..."

A picture of my half-elf OC Vulas Dracanis and Stievel's Dragonborn OC Arvol standing next to each other. Vulas is awkwardly looking away with a hand in his hair after giving Arvol his present. He has messy rainbow hair which is tied up in a ponytail, bronze dragon scales on his face, blue eyes, and pale skin. He is wearing a blue shirt with gold stars and red striped dungarees. He has a pouch on his dungarees and a belt with art supplies stuffed in both. He is also covered in paints, which are smeared on his dungarees, arms, and face. Vulas has a very clowny design in this.

Arvol stands taller than Vulas, he is a humanoid dragon creature, with jade scales, a tail, and horns. He has a long neck, which is covered by a clowny scarf made up of silly patterns including stripes, polka dots, crosses, and squares. He is wearing a winter coat and trousers. Arvol's hands are feeling the scarf around his neck with a smile on his face.

The background is green with golden sparkles, and around the outside is a red border with gold. Above Vulas is text in the form of a letter or note that says the following.

"To Arvol,
I hope you enjoy this scarf for those cold nights on watch. Sorry that I made it too long...
From Vulas"

My DnD OC Vulas Dracanis making wonky christmas presents for his party. At the top, the title says 'Vulas's Wonky Winter Warmers' 'A Gift Art Event by Shiftyblook.' In the middle of the picture is Vulas, who has tied up his rainbow hair into a ponytail (though it's still very fluffy and big at the top). He is wearing a green shirt and clowny stripy red dungarees. In his hand, he is holding two knitting needles, as he tries to knit a sock. His face is frustrated. His arms, face, and dungarees are covered in paint.

Behind him to the left is a spinning clay wheel, which is spinning out of control. What was meant to be a normal mug is turning into a towering wonky vase spitting clay everywhere. To the right is a canvas with a poorly painted Stamones. Behind Vulas and the crafts are a series of gift boxes shaded in green, yellow, and red.

An sketched and coloured image of Vulas Dracanis, wishing for his father back with the text 'I just want my father back'. He is a half elf with draconic scales on his face. He has his eyes closed with two tears running down his face, and his hands are pushed together to make a wish. Behind him is a cartoonish shooting star on a purple/magenta background. Behind that is the lizard form of Vulas's father Verian, who is looking sad. His form is a tiny dragon. Behind the lizard form is the true form of Verian, who is sadly looking down on his son. He is a elf man with dragon horns and scales on his face like his son.

A sketch comic with two panels, featuring my D&D OC Vulas Dracanis and his father Verian Dracanis. Vulas is a half-elf draconic sorcerer, and Verian is an elf/dragonborn.

The first panel has context above that says "After the events of Wondrous Worlds, in an outcome where Vulas was able to save his father Verian and make amends with his family..." Verian is shaded in bronze. Verian is standing next to his son with a smile. He says "Vulas, we have a role in the council that's best suited to someone of your talents..." Vulas is standing next to Verian with his eyes in the shape of stars, and his hands up to his face with an overjoyed expression. Vulas is saying "*Gasp* Really?!" Vulas is shaded in blue.

The second panel has context at the top that says "Later at the Dracanis Council Meeting...". On the left, Verian is sitting in a large leather chair with a smug expression, staring at Vulas on the right. Verian is shaded in bronze again. Verian is saying "and now, I have some bad news... So I shall leave it up to our new council jester to deliver such news. Go ahead son... err... *ahem* Bumbles". Next to Verian is Vulas, who is standing next to Verian as his clown persona Bumbles the Jester. He has a big jester hat, a flower-shaped ruffle, curly hair, a silly vest with big shoulders and sleeves, clown gloves, and a skirt. He is also holding a balloon. He has a cartoony annoyed expression. Vulas is in different rainbow shades of pink, magenta, purple, and cyan

He is crying, with his hands clutching both arms, and in a kneeling position. He is in a featureless void with a white floor and a dark background. The only thing around him are his thoughts.

He is surrounded by thoughts and images of the people who he has lost, or the people he has let down. In the top left is Verian; Vulas's father. He is a half elf draconic sorcerer, and the leader of the Dracanis Council. His quote reads "You were a waste of your mother's short time", referring to his human mother Sarah who disowned Vulas for running away.

Deismous's quote is "You did this to him Vulas", and Verian is saying a false memory/assumption "You did this to me Vulas".

On the bottom left is Lorith; Vulas's cousin whom he met with early on. Her quote is "The prophecy says a weak Dracanis will destroy the family", with a false memory/assumption that says "I guess that's you".

On the bottom right is both 'Blue' Danny and Cursed Danny. Together they're saying "I don't love you Vulas", with one text being real and one being an assumption.

Very faintly below Vulas, it also says "Everything everyone says about me is true" as he blames himself for everything.

Some of the characters from Wondrous Worlds in festive forms. From top to bottom and left to right:
- Kreme is a reindeer with a glowing nose. They look like a reindeer but with tiefling horns coming from their reindeer horns, their cape is a scarf, and their tail is a tiefling tail.

- Merlu is a Gingerbread cat, with his features detailed in icing.

A screenshot of my Artfight attacks, which shows 14 total attacks. 3 attacks were for Stardust in 2024, and 11 attacks were for Fossils in 2025.

A slug/snail character in black and white sitting on the top of a big burger. The character has hearts for eyes and has a ':3' mouth that's on the burger. They're wrapped around the top of the burger.

The burger and the background are a photo from my trip to the Nintendo Museum's restaurant; Hatena Burger. The photo has a big burger next to fried potatoes and a melon soda. The character is drawn in 2D, but has some shading and shadows to make them fit into the photo.

An drawing of a man (Vektor with long brown hair, pale skin, and yellow eyes. He is wearing a white turtleneck, which is ridiculously large. The turtleneck is covering his mouth, and the sleeves are covering his hands. The mug he is holding is also ridiculously large, and is full of steaming hot chocolate.

Merlu is a tabaxi with ginger hair tied back and brown fur in two shades. They have a patch of fur shaved on their forehead, with a demonic mark. They're wearing a blue, navy, and yellow acrobats outfit, and holding a pink cup of tea to you in their paws. Behind them are the bright fires of the underworld, and behind that lurks the evil gaze of Baphomet the Demon Lord. However, Merlu is grinning and eagerly handing you the cup.

A bust of a mouthless jester standing in front of a orange and blue background. The jester has two blue eyes and simple makeup. They're wearing a big droopy red and green jester hat. They also has a red and green traditional jester outfit below.

A cotton candy clown leaning out of the art with his mittens grasping the sides of the art. He has spring coils for a neck and arms, and a round head with a big grin and a clown nose. He has blue and pink cotton candy for hair, and is wearing blue dungarees with clouds over a yellow shirt.

A greyscale image of Wooley. The character has a big open trumpet beak, with spikey tail, tall wing like ears, a furry body with a scarf, a long dragon tail, bird legs, and shoes. The character has one eye, and generally they look happy. They're standing in front of a shape for a background with the words 'Starring Wooley' besides them. To the left and right of the screen is two film bars.

Harrison the frog about to slam dunk a basketball into a hoop, with a basketball court and stadium behind him. Harrison is a green frog with purplely grey eyes with stars. He has three finger hands with two toed feet. His little tongue is sticking out, and in his hand he is holding a purple-grey basketball. In the foreground is a red basketball hoop. Behind Harrison is a basketball court and a stadium full of people illuminated by the flashing lights of cameras.

A half-body of a green alien with a large bald head, deep black eyes, and thin arms with three fingers on each hand. The alien is wearing a white button-down shirt, and has a smug expression on his face. His fingers are together, like he is anticipating your next move. Behind the alien, the words 'Trade Offer' are repeated over and over diagonally on a blue gradient background.

A full body image of Peppy A. Muck, who belongs to LokuzDudeIz. The character is a pinkish anthro rabbit in a green and white striped dress and a big red nose. They have big brown hair and white toon gloves. In the image, they are grinning as they're slamming down a massively oversized mallet on a member of the audience,who we can't see.

The background is a circle tent interior, with the idea that they're performing some kind of show.

A half-body drawing of Rome the Perfume Toon by InsanelySanes. The character has a perfume bottle for a head with pink perfume inside. They're wearing a purple suit jacket with a pink bow tie, and are wearing grey trousers. They are looking down on you with a judgemental look.

The background is a simple pink with long darker pink lines weaving across the page. The lines start from Rome, and are meant to symbolise how good they likely smell.

An artist sona for myself. It's a tall man with black and white shoes, long jeans, a colourful purple and blue buttoned shirt, and a joker playing card for a head.

Gabblin the Goblin wearing casual clothes. Gabblin is a short yellow goblin (or Sun Goblin in Abersyrcas lore) with ginger hair, long ears with gold hoop earrings, and a green clown nose. She's wearing a black puffer jacket with a green hoodie underneath, some blue jeans, and comically oversized red trainer shoes with white accents. Gabblin is looking very grumpy, with an annoyed expression and her arms folded over her chest.

A stamp that acts as a signature for my art. It's a rectangular stamp with rounded corners, and SB written in a curly and chaotic way. Besides the SB is Shiftyblook written in English, and 'シフティブルック' which is a Katakana translation of Shiftyblook.

A WIP drawing of Gabblin scowling.

The view of Tokyo from my plane window, with Tokyo Tower visible 🗼

An entry in a guestbook, with my OC Shifty giving a thumbs up, and an illustration of a Welsh and Japanese flag.

The note says 'Shwmae from Cymru! I love this museum! Such a great collection! Beppu is a wonderful city, and I'm glad I stayed here. Diolch yn fawr! Shifty'

Shwmae = Hello
Cymru = Wales
Diolch yn fawr = Thank you very much

Tokyo Tower at night

Fabric that I've cut out to make a custom shirt, with instructions and scissors.

A drawing of a cartoon frog at a pond, holding a fishing rod with a fly tied up with fishing wire dangling from the rod. The frog is looking at you with a big warm smile. He wears tiny little glasses that are ridiculously small for his big eyes. He wears a pink and red checkered shirt with dark green dungarees, and giant red rubber boots that take up his whole legs.

Next to the frog is a wooden sign that says 'No Fly Fishin', but the 'No' has been painted over. This is because the frog has no care or respect for the local council that put the sign up. Yeah, he's a cute fishing frog that probably speaks in rhyme and has picnics in the meadows, but he's also a rulebreaker and a rebel.

Behind him is greenery and foliage, and behind that is the early morning sky.

Waffles the undead goblin king as a clown. On his head is a red, white, and green wig with a pink clown nose. Half of Waffle's head is missing. Normally in the design, Waffles has flowers and plants growing from the left side of his face, but in this version he has a balloon flower, some candy floss, and a whoopie cushion. His head is goblin-like, but without a jaw.

Around his neck is a bow tie with a magical glowing pink orb. The orb is controlling two giant white clown gloved hands which float and glow besides him. He is wearing a red and white striped shirt without sleeves (as he has no arms) on his rotund body, and straps hold up oversized baggy clown trousers. The trousers are blue, with a cartoon waffle pattern. On his feet are two large clown shoes, which are red, orange, and yellow. On the end of the shoes are red and white targets 🎯.

Waffles is standing in a purple and blue big top circus, under a bright spotlight. He is also surrounded by glittery sparkles and bubbles.

An image of my lanyard from the Cardiff Twitch meetup. On the lanyard is my username (shiftyblook) and the QR code which links to my Twitch. The background is a purple Twitch t-shirt which I won.

Wedi Blino as a goblin. He has purple skin, curly lavender hair, a blue clown nose, and pointy ears. His face looks tired, with a toothy frown and bags under his eyes. Blino is wearing a matching nightgown and nightcap, which is a minty green colour with white pinstripes and a white bobble. He holds a pillow under one arm, and in his other claw he holds a magic lantern with a pink flame. On his feet, Blino is wearing mismatching socks and big pink slippers. He is hunched over and wandering around, using his lantern to light the way.

Bumbles dressed as a clown king. He has curly rainbow hair, a big purple and gold crown, a purple robe with patches of fabric sewn on, a while undershirt with pink buttons and a red and white polkadot bow tie, giant clown gloves, a belt, and big blue and green trousers.

A half-elf sorcerer dressed up as a royal clown. He has wild curly hair, long ears, and dragon scales on his face. He wears a big clown nose, and has an awkward smiling expression. His neck is completely covered by a ridiculously large ruffled collar. He wears a tunic with a three-tiered ruffled neck tissue, and now he wears a big cape that brushes along the floor. His tunic has massive shoulders, and he has big sleeves with big clown gloves. A belt with a silly clown belt buckle holds up his ridiculously large and baggy trousers. On his feet are two very large clown shoes.

A lined drawing of Vulas dressed as a royal clown. He is a half-elf with wild and curly hair, and long pointy ears. He is wearing a big clown nose, and his neck has a large ruffle. He wears a fancy tunic with massive shoulders, big poofy sleeves, and large clown gloves. His trousers are big and baggy, and he also has a pair of big clown shoes on.

Two alien creatures. The creature on the left is a purple-blue squid creature with large black eyes, tentacles for arms and legs, and three tentacles on it's head resembling a jester's hat. He wears a green diamond-patterned costume with a big belly. He is also wearing a bowl of water on his head to breathe. The jester alien is holding a flag.

The second alien is smaller, and resembles a clown with frizzy green hair, a red bowler cap with antennae sticking out, a large green clown nose, a polka-dot shirt with a circus-designed raygun, pink and blue striped trousers, and big red clown shoes. The creature also has four eyes and a mean expression.

A reference sheet for an alternative story Vulas where he leaves the circus at the end of the one shot adventure. He wears a red and purple cape, big poofy shorts with brown tights, a fancy tunic, and a pair of giant red and yellow clown shoes. From his hand, he is casting a bolt of lightning.

The texts reads:

"Vulas Dracanis
The Royal Sorcerer (& The Royal Clown)

After receiving his pardon and paying off his debts, Vulas Dracanis left the circus and took up a job as Royal Sorcerer to the King. However, his smug and arrogant personality made many enemies in the royal court...

One day, Vulas was tricked into wearing 'cursed' clown shoes to remind him of his past. However, nothing can stop Vulas's vanity and ego. Even when the King asks him to play the royal clown.

Meanwhile Vulas's new shoes seem to have a mind of their own! Making him dance, dragging him places he doesn't want to go, and tying their laces together to trip him! Vulas doesn't know that his shoes really are magical living creatures!"

A Valentines card of Vulas/Bumbles the Buffoon being zapped by lightning. Next to it is text saying "You are the lightning of my life"

An image of Shifty pushing a giant circus ball up a cliff, like the iconic depiction of Sisyphus. There's text next to it which reads:
"The Game of Sisyphus with Shiftyblook. Friday 8pm GMT. Twitch.tv/shiftyblook"

A reference sheet of Vulas Dracanis, titled: "Vulas Dracanis The Royal Sorcerer" with a more hidden "& The Royal Clown" besides it. The page is designed to look like an old piece of paper, with splotches and ink marks. Vulas is casting a lightning bolt from one finger as he stands proud and confident. He has pale skin, white long hair, and long elven ears. He wears a long red cape, with the inside of the cape turning purple and glittering like a starry sky. The cape is held by a golden dragon head broach, as Vulas is a draconic sorcerer. Vulas's face and neck are decorated in bronze scales. Vulas is also wearing a textured brown and beige tunic with frills, large pantaloons, tights, and two ridiculously oversized clown shoes that stick out from the frame. The shoes are red and white, and seem to have eyes that are looking up at Vulas.

Underneath the title is a biography which reads "After receiving his pardon and paying off his debts, Vulas Dracanis left the circus and took up a job as Royal Sorcerer to the King. However, his smug and arrogant personality made many enemies in the royal court. One day, Vulas was tricked into wearing 'cursed' clown shoes to remind him of his past. However, nothing can stop Vulas's vanity and ego. Even when the King asks him to play the royal clown. Meanwhile Vulas's new shoes seem to have a mind of their own! Making him dance, dragging him places he doesn't want to go, and tying their laces together to trip him! Vulas doesn't know that his shoes really are magical living creatures!"

Besides the text is a close up of the clown shoes, surrounded by a blue and purple magical portal. The shoes have cartoony eyes, rims that look like a toothy grin, and tiny little nostrils. The shoes have also tied their shoelaces together.

A collage of all my art from this year. There are sketches and drawings of Shifty, Gabblin, Wedi Blino from Chroma Corps, Vulas from the D&D one-shot hosted by Piipia; as well as Gobbo (BusinessCat) and Floppy (Stievel), the Shifty Puppet, Waffles (ACraftyJellyfish), Northernglow (AnimeBoyStars), Pomni (TADC), Artfight drawings of Crispin and Amanda (PBelle) and Armani (Coughedrop). There's also art that I haven't *yet* released, including a drawing of a new OC called Lulu, a drawing of Human Gabblin, and Vulas drawn as a toad. Sometimes it pays to read the alt text. ;)
