this one started as a study, but then I improvised the hell out of it... don't ask, I'm too tired ✨

[ #sketch ]

A painterly portrait of a fantasy creature with extremely voluminous hair, lounging on a sofa. The colours are very muted, sepia-like.

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀

An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

tea party at muneflower hollow 🐸 🐈‍⬛ 🐛

Nadi is on her way to the party
With her top hat on her head

Tea frog warms the tea pot
And Rose bakes the yummy bread

The guests begin to arrive
And take seats in little chairs

Chowder is riding a giant caterpillar and…
Wait, how did he get up there???

Pelly and her familiars light the space
As the candles glow

Spice uses the magic from laughter and joy
To help her dear plants grow

Neighbors and friends share worried and wins
At this party that lasts all night

They’ll leave full and so tired
But their hearts will be feeling light

The downside to working on something for the better part of a year is that eventually your art style changes. And then you start getting the urge to completely redo the drawing.

You'll never guess what happened with this one (i've been studying oil painting processes)

#art ✧ #wip ✧ #dragonage

Dragon age fanart. My character/inquisitor Micah is hugging an embarassed Dorian. The Iron Bull has his arm wrapped around both of them. It's just on the edge between night and day, and the sky is turning purple behind them.

A young girl stands hesitantly in a gallery room, surrounded by living statues. A bright sun is setting in a window behind her as one of them reaches out.

The hungry harpy may have bitten off more than she can chew

Welcome to my 2025 Monster Mashtober! What is that you may ask? It is my own personal month long challenge with no themes, lists, or rules other than to draw whatever creature I want. So, what monster do you want me to draw?

The Hippocampus is a mythical creature with the front of a horse and the back half of a fish. They've been portrayed by cultures from the Ancient Greeks to the Picts and beyond

My take here is partly based on a black-figure amphora from the 6th century BCE that currently is displayed in the Louvre

💀The Ghostly Galliard💀

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink

Micah portrait brought to you by that mage illustration from the Dragon Age: Inquisition epilogue slides. I've been wanting to do a lighting/skin painting study of it for awhile and finally got around to it \o/

#art ✧ #ocs ✧ #artstudy ✧ #portrait

My character Micah facing the viewer and staring solemnly at something in the distance. There's a golden halo behind him, and he's bathed in yellow light.
