More art from the sourcebook of my in-dev TTRPG, The Land of Deklan Dawn. You will soon be able to follow the progress of this game on Substack, leading up to its release for my TTRPG fans among you.
The Oil Slimes of Steelspine City, aka The Primal Slimes, are the city's old money class, and among the wealthiest beings on the entire Deklan Dawn continent. Primal Slime society is small and matriarchal, as the wealthy women pride themselves on their fashion, their status, their beauty, and their bodies--as a matter of fashion, they typically 'meld' massive busts for themselves.
But despite the prim and proper exteriors, they inherently have the same appetites that nearly all of Deklan Dawn's Slime women population have...
Image 1: Saliska and Aretta Stree, heiress sisters of Stree Unlimited. Saliska openly a Steam Punk, and on the surface, that is to the annoyance of Aretta, the more strait-laced of the two. Everything annoys her, it seems.
Image 2: But Aretta has met many male Steam Punks through Saliska, can't resist alpha males, and has a bit of a secret...

I used Venice.AI, and had to run it through a bunch of different models for creation and editing, including ChatGPT Flare and Seedance 5 Pro.
Image 1 Prompt: A highly detailed, painterly dark-fantasy steampunk illustration featuring two adult female oil-slime humanoids standing side by side in an opulent Victorian penthouse overlooking a vast industrial metropolis at amber dusk. The aesthetic blends gothic fantasy, Heavy Metal-inspired fantasy illustration, Victorian punk fashion, and intricate steampunk concept art.
Character design: Both women are sentient oil-slime beings with glossy, translucent obsidian-black gel bodies. Their surfaces display mesmerizing iridescent reflections of violet, teal, bronze, and gold. Tiny bubbles float within their semi-transparent forms, and their long hair flows like viscous liquid oil. Their silhouettes are dramatically curvaceous and stylized, with confident posture and expressive faces. Their bodies have a distinctive liquid-glass appearance, with reflected highlights and subtle internal refraction.
Left character — The Punker: A rebellious, exuberant oil-slime woman with a broad, cheeky grin and a proud hand-on-hip pose. She wears a fitted cropped punk shirt bearing the clearly readable stencil lettering “PUNKER!”, a studded leather belt, fingerless gloves, brass-rimmed goggles pushed onto her forehead, a short pleated skirt, striped thigh-high stockings, and heavy riveted boots. Tiny brass gears, safety pins, and industrial charms decorate her outfit. Her liquid-oil hair sweeps backward in dramatic, sculptural tendrils. Her expression radiates irreverent confidence.
Right character — The Executive: A sophisticated Victorian businesswoman made of the same shimmering black oil gel. She stands with arms crossed, rolling her eyes with a dry, unimpressed smirk at her companion. Her impeccably tailored ensemble includes a fitted corset-style waistcoat, an elegant white high-collar blouse with a modest open neckline, a tailored pencil skirt, long fitted gloves, a delicate brass pocket-watch chain, and a miniature Victorian top hat adorned with a fine veil. Her posture is controlled and authoritative, and her liquid hair is swept into an elaborate sculptural arrangement.
Environment: An extravagant steampunk penthouse with polished brass fittings, dark mahogany paneling, velvet furniture, ornate mechanical clocks, and a magnificent gear-driven chandelier. Enormous arched windows reveal an immense copper-and-brass metropolis filled with smokestacks, elaborate clock towers, winding pipes, illuminated windows, and majestic steam-powered airships drifting through a hazy amber sky.
Lighting and rendering: Warm gaslight illuminates the interior, contrasting with cool violet and teal reflections along the characters’ translucent gel silhouettes. Dramatic chiaroscuro, intricate surface textures, atmospheric depth, painterly brushwork, exquisite costume detailing, sophisticated color grading, cinematic composition, and expressive character acting. Both women are fully clothed and visible from head to boots. Their contrasting personalities create a humorous visual narrative: rebellious punk exuberance versus aristocratic corporate disdain.
Image 2 Prompt: A handsome, bald, muscled, broad-shouldered, chiseled male orc with dark green skin in his mid-twenties and the woman in the hat from the attached image are in a close-up, cover-style embrace, her back is to the camera, she is dressed in the same outfit as the image, but as she hugs him and he looks straight ahead at the viewer, his right hand has lifted her dress, exposing her black Oil Slime, fluidic ass, and the words 'Punker Slut' have been tattooed on her ass in red lettering, the entire image utilizes the illustration style of the second attached image, frontal POV, the woman's head is resting on the orc's shoulders, he is wearing an open crimson red demin vest, crimson tattoos are on his arms
