I keep forgetting it is Winter Gift-Giving Season and that I sell things, including a bunch of spoopy stickers and other fun stuff. www.redbubble.com/people/parad... and I do commissions (link in bio)! (and here's some samples of Cool Art you could acquire via my RedBubble) #shopindie #shopsmall
Watercolor image of The White Rat, a god from T. Kingfisher's books. A variety of brightly colored potion bottles, each with a skull and/or label that indicates that these are probably poisonous. Ghost and postal delivery themed images, including ghost mail deliverers, spooky-themed "stamps" and hearse-inspired mail delivery vehicles. Watercolor and gouache painting of the Bun of Spoons, an image of a white bunny inspired by the 9 of Wands tarot card. The Bun of Spoons offers you an extra spoon in times of need and inspires you to hold on and get through tough times.

Tried to find a "real" job/degree path for my quasi-mandatory BA. Managed to get an AA in art by accident. Went to art school. Came back. Worked at a library for years to pay bills (& because libraries are cool!) Dodged pressure to get a library degree. Burnt out at library due to a lot of factors.

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

Messing around with a looser style on this picture of a gothic heroine!
A woman walking through a dark abstract background, brown hair and white nightgown blowing dramatically in the wind. She is lit by the candle she holds aloft. The linework and rendering are fairly loose, with the shadowed area simply left unfilled.

Middle of the night is the best time to post art of some sort of vampire victim gothic heroine!
Digital painting of a young blonde woman in a white nightgown. She has a vampire bite on her neck dripping blood and two of her fingers are red as if she has just touched the wound and is regarding her blood thoughtfully. She is smiling a little.

Hello #portfolioday! I'm M.C. Marcellin or Mags! I do book covers, ttrpg art, and weird creatures! I am open for commissions or other work!

Cover for ttrpg Eat God by David Prokopetz, featuring an adventuring party of muppet-esque creatures against a strange desert background and a greenish sky with 2 moons. Poster design for my ttrpg warlock character, Folie, designed in the spirit of vintage magician posters. [Folie. Magic! Secrets! And the unknown! at the carnival of endless stars!] Cover for one of the books in the Curse Words series by Derin Edala. This is for The Heiress of Duniyasar and features a girl in red robes with a colorful headscarf climbing up a spiral staircase. She is holding a knife and looking back apprehensively. Digital watercolors over hand-inked lines depict a strange hooded figured with a corpse-like face, four red-stained hands, and plethora of jagged tentacle-like shapes for a lower body. (this was a design for a warlock patron in game I didn't get to play. Gonna recycle it for something some day! )

Drawing my girl The Hunt for #artjamolantern
A leather-clad female figure with out a head sits holding a knife dramatically in one hand while regarding the smiling jack o'lantern held in her other hand. Or perhaps the head she's holding is regarding her body.

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating
Contact me at [email protected]
See portfolio link below

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated
A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms. A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance. A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly. A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen. It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.

🎃👻🐉
Digital art in a cute cartoon style. Two little chibi dragons: a green one sitting happily in a hollowed-out pumpkin, and a black one dressed in a sheet like a ghost, fluttering through the air. The background is a night time scene of a fenced path, hills, and a crescent moon in a starry sky. A simple border around the image is decorated with falling leaf shapes.

The ttrpg I did cover art for is already well on its way to being a Real Book (with more art by me!) but there's so many cool folks lined up in the stretch goals to write playsets so do take a look if this sounds like your jam!
