Happy #PortfolioDay 🙂 I'm Davis, an artist who created the Welcome to Bluesky Comic. I'm also an engineer and have created feeds and tools for artists, like @aimod.social. Great to meet you!

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth. A digital illustration of banjo-kazooie in a sketchy and rough style. Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She’s part of everything and distinct. #art Digital painting of an ethereal woman shackled in outer space, her head replaced by a black hole. The black hole's radiating energy merges with the cosmos, while dark bands swirl around her body, symbolizing entrapment. The image conveys the idea that absolute certainty is a mental prison, with the woman’s chains and the black hole illustrating the constraints of rigid thinking.

The first snow falls 😌
A figure with purple hair, wearing a green shirt and blue pants, stares out over an open sea while fluffy snow falls. The sun is setting with an orangish hue. They are standing on a bridge with trees and foliage to the right.

✨My art mentorships continue this year!✨

I had the great pleasure of working with 90 students last year, helping them level up their illustration work. If you want to join, I have a few spaces open for the February class.

Details about the course here:
www.masteringimaginativerealism.com
Art by Morgane Magloire, created during Semester 3. Follow Morgane: https://bsky.app/profile/morganemgl.bsky.social The art depicts a cool femme character with a spear, crouching on a tree in the jungle. A huge striped cat is climbing down beside her. A companion. There are colours, but I don't know what they are because of my eyes. Art by Alexandria Neonakis, created during Semester 4. Follow Alex: https://bsky.app/profile/beavs.bsky.social The artwork depicts a cool cowgirl riding a rattlesnake dragon. They are flying over a heard of cows, ready to... wrangle them? Rope them? Whatever cowfolk do. Art by looceyloo, created during Semester 2. Follow Lucy here: https://bsky.app/profile/looceyloo.bsky.social The art depicts a woman in western clothing (hat, poncho, shirt and gloves etc), kneeling beside her massive jackalope (?) friend. The creature has various packs and a saddle strapped to it. Both are looking off-canvas. Big clouds and mountains in the background. It's gorgeous, god this one is so gorgeous. Art by Jeleynai, created during Semester 5. Follow Jeleynai here: https://bsky.app/profile/jeleynai.bsky.social The art depicts a femme character crouching (always gotta be crouching, holding a spear and attempting to hold back 2 massive dog things. They are cute as hell. The one on the left is poking it's head out of the shadow into the bright light.

A stunning waterfall in Iceland's Kolugljúfur Canyon. This one was memorable thanks to the ability to walk right up against the falls and get drenched by the spray all around me! #WaterfallWednesday #Photography

A small, stylized fantasy character with short curly purple hair and pointed ears stands smiling, holding a wooden staff. They wear a teal tunic with patches, a belt, brown boots, and a simple necklace of a fish hook with a glowing gem held inside, painted in a soft watercolor style with colorful splashes in the background.

I love the idea of “start curious, not furious.” It has saved me from a lot of unnecessary pain over the years. And admittedly, the times I forget to do it are the times I realize just how valuable that mindset really is.

I’m just gonna say, it makes me really happy to see @bsky.app hiring artists for more things. Their support of the art community is really lovely.

I still have to pinch myself sometimes to believe they had me do the welcome to bluesky comic. 🥰

Since June 2025, I've been learning to code in #gamemaker as I rebuild #Moonshell_Island from scratch after losing another programmer. Follow my #gamedev journey one day at a time in this thread!

More recent #devlog sprints available to paid patrons, starting here: www.patreon.com/posts/21-day...

Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch! [unselected dialogue option]: Where's the self-destruct button on this thing?

Managed to accidentally print double the amount of this print. Here's hoping it's the queer art gods telling me loads of people want to buy this one!

I refuse to use ChatGPT to make a little cartoon version of me and my interests.

But also I like social media trends.

So I will ask you, the people, to badly draw a little cartoon of me featuring sharks.

Please don't spend too much time on this. Badly drawn is fine.
