~TwistedHensley
Hee-Ho, howdy everyone! My name is TwistedHensley and I am a writer, illustrator, and most of all I am a world builder! Here you will find the whimsical and alien setting known as “Skin to Scales” and "Hyembs the Dragon"
Skin to Scales is a "Dark Epic Fantasy" setting with an extremely bright and colorful coat of paint. There is magic, sci-fi elements, dragons, kobolds, gigantic monsters and an extremely colorful cast of characters who live within it! Just because the universe is this "dark, cold, and unforgiving" place, doesn't mean the characters have to be! See this mystical multi-universal realm with an ever-expanding timeline through Thomza, the Maskless Entity and main hero of the setting. Or how about the Sci-Fi Superhero, Hunter Star Spine! The Faceless Survivors, Huntley or even Caroline Star. Maybe posts with the swashbuckling Kobold, Freya. The warped and boundless researcher Aellea. The tactical commander Captain PiK. Or even the feral veteran, Ayvil. There are so many characters for you to meet and more within this mystical realm!
With so many characters and so many varying perspectives across this multi-universal setting they’re all bound together by one big bad guy, Maxwell. For he and his faceless forces wish to call the curtains on who he would call "rejects". No matter how grim things may be these heroes will gladly fight for a better tomorrow. However, Maxwell isn’t their only threat... There’s Angel-Tech, The Council of Colored Gods, King Keii and the Holy Order and not to mention the various wildlife and monsters of unknown and terrible origin.
If this dark fantasy setting does not suit your wishes, there is always the setting with "Hyembs the Dragon", which is a much more colorful, bright and hopeful setting without a real need for many bad guys. The main character being Hyembs and her various Kobold Squires as they get up to no good while playing the guise of a hero to the various villages spread across the land. For she will protect them the best way she knows how through love and friendship! Although keep in mind, she is also considered to be my "Internet Persona", and avatar for the most part. Any and all "crossovers" with any other IPs or anything like that is simply fanart, and are all entirely unofficial, this goes double for skin to scales. Although, I still do fanart on this page, let it be Pokemon, Pikmin or some video game you "never ever heard of before, and I'm *TOTALLY* the only one who shares this interest." There is never any copyright infringement intended on my page or the artwork I create.
Now let me get into one last thing, all of this stuff is a passion project of mine, I do artwork, writing, worldbuilding, all that stuff for fun. I do not do it out of obligation, I do not do it for the "fame" and "internet points" that mean nothing in the end. I have created all of this for myself and it's why you do not really see me take commissions or anything like that. (I may open commissions one day, but it's still off the table.) I started artwork about 12 years ago from today, maybe even longer, and it's been a very long journey to get to this point. I am entirely self-taught, and I try my best to be friendly and open towards people, but I also suffer from some social anxiety issues, so please do not be to upset if I somehow miss a comment or it takes me a very long time to get back to you. I try and joke around a lot too, so don't take anything I say tooooooo seriously
With all of that being said? I thank you for reading, and I have one last thing to go on about before you get going here! I thank you for reading, and I have one last thing to go on about before you get going here! I have an FAQ page right below here, and my pronouns are She/Her/They! I am Demisexual/Pansexual, and you may refer to me as Hyembs or Hensley, I’m fine with either~!

>>IMPORTANT STUFF:
>>My DA page is admitteldy well more organized than my FA page, I've tried my best to do some organization, but it is pretty painfully hard lmfao.
>>I have many people who have claimed to be me, stolen my artwork, stolen my username, etc. Even though this threat is long gone and was a minor annoyance if anything, I mostly only really use Deviantart, (and one other place), but I do have a dead Youtube channel and a few other "Dead Accounts", but they do not really need mentioned. Now I'm going to say this like I say in every post, I do not mind people sharing my artwork, in fact? I encourage you to do it! Go right on ahead if you like my work! Just please do try and link my work though and my page of course. If it inspires you? That's even better! You have every right to draw my characters (as long as it stays SFW of course lmfao. Also you do not own my characters/places/lore,etc— either if you draw them (obviously.). Just make sure you properly credit me!) You're also allowed to make fan characters of the setting of Skin to Scales too, none of my species are "closed", and I seriously don't understand why some artists get so mad about stuff like this. Write and draw away!— Just as I said? Make sure you credit me and stuff
>>Copyright stuff: I, TwistedHensley, am the creator of the "Skin to Scales Universe", as that's what I like to call it. The characters, places, all that stuff belongs to me, and any form of copyright infringement is mere coincidence. Skin to Scales is not meant to be part of any other setting at all, any names and places are merely coincidences, and the setting does have a lot of "faith based" content, but it is also not meant to connect to any real-life religions either. The setting is meant to be completely grounded in fantasy and stay in that fantasy realm. Even if names are similar, such as "Dwarf", "Mandrake", "Tiamat", "Kobold", I assure you they all have different meanings in this very alien setting.
>>I have a lot of niche content on my page, all of these things will be marked with either a MATURE rating or an ADULT rating respectively, I mostly make a lot of SFW content, so do not expect the niche stuff to be constant. Also, if you're not an adult please turn away from my page on this website here...
>>I do not roleplay and I do not take free requests for drawing artwork. I have gotten multiple offers on it, and the answer will always be "No", and those comments will very unfortunately be ignored or sometimes deleted.

Question for my Watchers.
3 years ago
I’ve grown to known that I’ve gained 69 watchers these past few months and that I’ve decided to become more active on this website.
That as well as this place being the only area I really feel like sharing my artwork.
So. I’ve been debating on sharing some of my SFW content as well on this account and having some variety.
Although I could make this into a separate account as well.
Anyone else’s thoughts?
These art pieces will mostly be doodles, concept work, and even some full fledged art pieces there. This does mean everyone will see more artwork out of me at the very least and it won’t just be rotting away in my files.
Also thank you all for sticking around and enjoying my work
You all are truly wonderful
