Lughnasadh. Lammas. First harvest.
The wheel turns again bringing golden fields, fading blooms and soft beginnings of the descent. Gratitude, preparation, and stillness before the slow dark arrives.

#lughnasadh #lammas #firstharvest #wheeloftheyear #seasonalart

A hand-drawn circular wreath composed of soft golden grain heads, lavender sprigs, and muted leaves, woven tightly into a ring. The palette is earthy and warm, hinting at late summer tones, dusty gold, deep mauve, and olive. The wreath is centered on a clean white background, echoing themes of harvest and seasonal shift.

Today my eldest acted in her first video. She was calm, confident and it was like watching a whole new person. Proud mama. 🥰

A recent sketch for a series of seasonal ideas. :)

#sketchbook

A digital sketch of a winter scene featuring a lone stag standing beneath a starry night sky. The sketch has a soft, textured pencil feel, and the stag looks outward with a sense of calm. Second slide shows a 30-second video of the drawing in progress.

Yes. That old. 🫠 Or at least the first game I recall playing.

My first D&D toon. A naive barbarian, who spoke little and was apprehensive of everything, unless someone hurt an animal.

Not my usual barbie style. She was a reflection of how nervous I was talking online to friends I had known for years.

Now I don't know how to be quiet. 😂

Here's an old pencil sketch of the stunning Eva Green I made over 15 years ago. 🥰 Finding love in my older works lately.

#evagreen #portrait #artjourney #sketchbook

Pencil sketch across two pages of a sketchbook. The right page shows a detailed portrait of a woman with intense eyes, holding her hands around her face in a mask-like gesture. The left page has faint, gestural sketch lines of an arm and shoulder in progress. The portrait is inspired by actress Eva Green.

High humidity, blaring yellow ball in the sky and hyperhidrosis.

Just a tad sweaty today. Just a tad... 😂

I've been working on a lovely portrait this week. It's a gift so some sneaky peaks will have to suffice. ☺️

Sarah @sreedillustrates.bsky.social · Jun 25

Dug up this biro sketch from 2007 and feels like I doodled it yesterday.

It’s wild seeing how much has changed in my art, or hasn’t?

Sometimes I feel like I’ve barely moved forward. Other times, I notice the refinement and feel quietly proud.
Might even redraw this one.

Black biro on paper.

A hand-drawn, black biro sketch of a gothic woman sitting at a cluttered desk in what looks like a magical library or alchemist's study. She rests her head on her hand, looking up thoughtfully with long, messy hair, dark eye makeup, and glasses. The room is filled with shelves of books, skulls, bones, jars, and oddities. A lit candle stands beside her, wax dripping down, and a human skull sits on the desk next to an open book and an ink bottle. The linework is dense and scribbly, full of detail and texture.

I finally have some life on my balcony that isn't just spiders. More to be added and I'm still learning. My nanna was very green fingered! Can't wait for the day I have a home with a garden. 🙌

Eternally Tired. I have a couple of health conditions that trigger (sometimes crippling) fatigue. Today is one of those days.

Another day and another D&D toon. This is my recently created toon, with much personal love thrown into her. She's a Circle of Stars Druid, loves ancient customs and does everything she can to uphold them. Probably my favourite OC to date. :)

#DnDCharacter #OCArt #TabletopRPG #DungeonsAndDragons

“Digital illustration of a mystical female druid character with long white hair in braids, glowing blue eyes, and antlers made of wood. She wears fur-trimmed robes, layered necklaces with a celestial pendant, and stands against a starry night sky with mountain silhouettes in the background.”

Black and white line art for the previous image.

More D&D doodles. This time it's my Teifling Genie Warlock. A purveyor of gems, fine wine, and exquisite fabrics. Her Patreon was just as lavish. A warlock built purely on deceit, a rather forward character who stops at nothing to get her way, she was a lot of fun to play.

#dungeonsanddragonsart

A blue-skinned female teifling with blue shoulder-length wavy hair, blue rams horns curling over her head, and red eyes. She has a lot of golden tattoos on her face, as well as golden jewellery. She wears a dark blue outfit consisting of a jacket, elbow-length gloves, and a white v necked shirt with delicate blue embroidery.

A character sheet design of the same blue skinned teifling, this time wearing a different outfit. She wears a long back sailor coat with gold trim, a gold sash belt, a brown corset, vertically stripped trousers and knee high heeled boots.

Some loose sketches of the same teifling, just line art, depicting a full body sketch and a closer 3/4 body sketch of the first image.

Meet Truffle, my D&D Satyr Spore Druid. A lover of all things dead, decaying or mouldy... and she occasionally sprouts a mushroom or two herself! 🍄

Stylized cartoon portrait of a cheerful fantasy character with goat-like features. They have bright orange and pink curly hair adorned with mushrooms and black horns, large round glasses, and green eyes. They rest their chin on gloved hands and wear a green outfit with a red and white spotted mushroom directly in front of them. Small red hearts float around the character against a dark blue background.

Close-up illustration of the same fantasy character smiling brightly. Their vibrant curly hair is orange and pink, styled around black horns and small mushrooms. The character has goat-like ears with gold piercings, green eyes, large round glasses, and visible teeth in a wide grin. The background features a textured blue forest-like pattern with subtle mushrooms peeking in the corner.

Character reference sheet showing a full-body front and side view of the fantasy character. They wear a layered green tunic, puffy striped trousers, hooved footwear, a red scarf, and a white apron. The character has orange and pink curly hair decorated with mushrooms and clips, and a utility belt slung across their torso. The design shows their practical, rustic adventurer aesthetic.

Some old D&D art I created for a campaign and it was my first attempt at a more chibi-inspired style.

*doodles* No direction, no plan, just doodled.

An illustration of a pale woman with blue celtoc inspired tattoos. She wears a burgundy apron dress with gold trim, gold brooches and deep coloured feathered epaulettes. She has large curly red hair with small and narrow brown antlers. She has her eyes closed. Behind is a large disc with golden radial pattern of yellow, orange and red. A striped bordered version of this outlines the top of the image. All set into a circular shape. Hand drawn style.

The cutest commission.

The most recent Dungeons and Dragons commission in my cutesy illustration style. A gnome and her faithful companion.

I'm happy with how this one turned out, and it was a joy to create. ☺️

This is a cutesy Dungeons and Dragons illustration of a long, wild, red-haired, green-clothed bard playing a late game and smiling at a large and happy mastiff dog. The gnome is sitting on a fallen tree stump upon grass, with mushrooms and flowers growing around it.
