A Haitian Vodou sorceress riding a zombie T. rex she brought back to life from fossil bones. #haitian #zombie #tyrannosaurusrex #dinosaur #art

Colored pencil drawing of a prehistoric woman butchering an antelope she has hunted. The inspiration for this came from memories of the villagers hunting and butchering antelope in the first Age of Empires game. #prehistoric #paleolithic #african #art

Shaded them in with good ol' pencil. #fantasy #dinosaur #african #blackwoman #art

Rough sketch in pencil of a woman with a spear fighting a raptor (or "hookfoot" as her people would call it due to the hooked talons on its feet). Undecided whether to render it with simple graphite or with colored pencil. #fantasy #dinosaur #blackwoman #sketch #art

Should I get off Twitter? There are some people on there I like following, and I can avoid most of the garbage on that site if I stick to the “Following” feed. On the other hand, Elon Musk is not someone I want to support. I certainly don’t want to give him a cent of my money.

Portrait of Torosaurus alongside a (proto-)Heliconia plant. I found out after doodling this that Heliconia is thought to date back to the Eocene, but who knows, maybe they had ancestors in the Late Cretaceous when Torosaurus was around. #dinosaur #prehistoric #paleoart #art

Anthropologists have often assumed hunting was a male activity for hominin relatives. New research adds strong statistical support to the data for female hunting dominance in bonobos. Is this a better model than the male-dominated chimpanzees for ancient hominins? www.johnhawks.net/p/woman-the-...

I definitely believe female humans were hunting in the Paleolithic more often than some people assume. I would be interested in knowing why chimps and bonobos differ in this aspect despite having similar anatomy and sexual dimorphism.

Gave them a background. Designing the architecture was a fun challenge. #fantasy #worldbuilding #interracial #romance #art

Three pixel-art horror movie posters I designed for a few pixel art jams in the GameGen program, going with the month's Halloween theme. I think "Mummy Love" is my favorite simply because of how romantic it is. #pixelart #art #halloween #egyptian #mummy

Got what is hopefully the final proof copy of Alani: Citadel of Swords! More than 200 pages of s&s goodness! Swords! Weird sorcery! Wuxia stuff! Intrigue! Monsters! Lizard chariot races!

A "mood board" I put together showing some of the influences I want to incorporate when I design the architecture of my fictional "Sunblessed" culture. #fantasy #worldbuilding #african #architecture #moodboard

I wanted to indulge in my steamy side again, so here's a Northislander man and a Sunblessed woman from my newest fantasy setting in an amorous moment. I might draw a more detailed background for this couple when I have more time. #fantasy #interracial #couple #love #art

And here's full-body concept art for these two peoples! #fantasy #worldbuilding #conceptart #art

I'd like to draw interesting things outside my comfort zone, but right now, my brain really just wants to make really simple doodles. 🌷 #art #digitalart #Procreate #BlackArt

A splendorous fantasy queen reclining seductively. No world built for her yet, but these kinds of fantasy doodles can be fun since you don't have to worry as much about historical or scientific accuracy. #fantasy #characterdesign #african #blackwoman #art

If the weird hatedoms Vivziepop and Gooseworx have attracted are any indication, fame can be a double-edged sword even if you're an indie creator. And especially if you got big on Tumblr with all the catty trolls on it.

5 years ago I sketched out first draft of characters of my #comic... We can see prototypes for #Cuauhtli (who was supposed to be jaguar warrior!), I'Bana, Ome Coatl (sorcerer) and Kan Ma'ax. #art #fantasy #Aztec

Reminder that I don't just write short stories. I also write entire books! Here's a bibliography with links to purchase: brandonpilchersart.com/my-books/

New short story up on my blog! This one is about my Kushite adventurer Alara searching for the secret treasure of the biblical king Solomon. #writing #shortstory #historicalfiction #actionadventure #fiction brandonpilchersart.com/2026/10/19/t...

A colored-pencil character design for a fantasy priestess or mage who serves a deity of light. I have to say that I like how the gloss on her skin came out! #fantasy #characterdesign #african #blackwoman #art

How I imagine the Singapore River in Singapore might have looked before all those modern developers arrived on the island. #singapore #asia #wildlife #jungle #art

Thumbnail sketch for how I imagine the Singapore River in Singapore might have looked before modern developers turned the area into a bustling business district. #thumbnailsketch #singapore #asia #art

One more diorama for the week! This one depicts a prehistoric South American warrior with his loyal Smilodon populator by his side. I made the warrior myself using my clay, but I got the Smilodon figure from Hobby Lobby. #prehistoric #southamerican #diorama

A clay sculpture of a Moorish bellydancer. Honestly, this was a nightmare to hold together since the sculpture broke apart at the waist. Thank goodness for superglue! #moorish #african #bellydancer #claysculpture #art

A humble medieval peasant has chanced upon the lamp of a Moorish genie who promises him three wishes! Actually an illustration to go with another upcoming story of mine... #moorish #genie #medieval #fantasy #art

Thumbnail sketch for my next illustration, in which a humble medieval peasant meets a Moorish genie! #thumbnailsketch #moorish #genie #fantasy #art

You have to admit, "MorRockin'" would be a great name for a North African metal band.

My fantasy short story "Love and Iron" is now available to read on my blog! #fantasy #fiction #shortstory brandonpilchersart.com/2026/10/14/l...

Scribbled out another story after work yesterday. This one is a fairytale-ish fantasy about a medieval peasant who finds a Moorish genie in a lamp that can grant him three wishes, and he has to keep her out of the hands of his oppressive lord. Word count is 3.6K as of this draft. #writing

Let's hope you've rubbed this Moorish genie's lamp the right way! #moorish #genie #fantasy #african #art
