The Dreaming Garden.

A stained glass style artwork of an anthropomorphic bear with blue hair sleeps peacefully in folded arms, surrounded by blue, pink and white petals and flowers. Behind her, a window glows with blue and light blue patterns and roses in shades of blue, pink, and white.

Just two friends hanging out in the mushroom garden. #art

A snail and a rabbit. The snail is much larger than the rabbit, and the mushrooms are also proportionately quite large. Sepia and white oil paint on wood panel.

「 I sought love once—
Only to find myself hollow. 」

#ocsky #digitalart #art #illustration #apricityart

The text on the description reads: I sought love once— Only to find myself hollow.

The image illustrates an angelic entity realizing how they are empty.
Capable of giving love only to find out they themselves are incapable of receiving and being loved.

This is Nís, a new OC for a short Draw Steel game! He's a corpse revived by a hive-mind of alien psionic spiders (yep).

They suck at socialising, and they propel their body parts like the corpse's hands or head using their telekinetic abilities to attack enemies lol

Digital portrait in an oil-like style of a man in a 3/4 view, with very pale greenish skin and disheveled white hair. Most of his face is covered by dirty bandages, covering everything but one eye. The bandades make a sort of hood over his head, held together by a thorn crown made of gold

So happy to share one of the three cards I made for @saharian.bsky.social Briardark!
For more info about the books please visit their profile 🌱

#art #illustration #darkfantasy #book

Illustration I made for S.A. Harian's book Briardark. The scene is showing a young woman wearing a blue coat lost in an heavy atmospheric forest in which the trees tangles with each other and the roots are everywhere on the ground. The woman is sitting - knees down - on the grass, the look on her face seems scared and hurt while she tries to extract a glow arrow from her chest, dripping blood as she's looking at the viewer, terrified. Next to her, on the grass, there's a bloody knife almost hidden.

I gave in to the scifi AU. Here's The Prince of All Galaxies 🌌✨ His hair is starlight and it glows in the dark

#digitalart #oc #ocsky #scifiAU #AlienPrince

Digital illustration of my OC Rivenn in mine and my friend's sci fi AU. On the right what his royal outfits would maybe look like, the two on the left with brown scarf are deeper into story, stolen from enemy soldiers probably, when he's trying to stay hidden and not get taken as hostage again

The little rabbit sits in the shade
Of the falling petal cascade
Here it sits and spends its hours
Enjoying the beauty of the flowers

Portrait illustration of Wick, a fire genasi gunslinger with a furnace in her chest and scarred vents in her cheeks. Behind her is a halo of barbed wire and thorns. One of her eyes is covered by a spark. Inspired by Velnna's cr portraits!

Artober 4 - eclipse
#art

Digital art of a dragon cast in shadow, looking up at the dark sky which shows a solar eclipse, bursts of light showing around the edges. The sky is filled with stars, some of which are swirling towards the center. In the lower half the sky lightens, partially obscured by clouds of peach and teal.

#Artober 3 - eyes
#art #angel

Digital art of an angel wearing a cloak with golden leaf patterns around the shoulders and blue spot patterns further down. They wear golden chains of varying lengths around their neck and hanging from their wing ears. The angel is dark in color, almost entirely black, turning to a rich purple at the ends of the wings. They have many eyes on their face, glowing icy blue with orange/red irises. Above their head is a halo made of stars and connected by short wavy lines in between. The background is dark with a glowing golden circle behind the angel with light radiating out, and faded gold rake patterns through the other areas.

Golden Hour 🌤️

#art #ocsky #OC

An illustration of my original character, Aleron. He is an elf with long dark blue hair with glowing cyan ends tied up in a high ponytail. He has fair skin, green (left) and blue (right) eyes and is wearing a blue long-sleeved robe with silver armour and vambraces. He is looking down at the viewer with a solemn expression and is holding a large silver shield in this left hand. Golden sunlight is shining down on this face and behind him are large metal spikes indicating he's in a battlefield.

APOTHEOSIS OF WAR (1992)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20” x 19”

People often ask me, “Where do you get your ideas?”

I always have so many that I don’t think I’ll live long enough to paint them all...and if I ever experience a shortage, I just have to pick up the morning paper. 1/3

A white on black abstract rendering of the culmination of war. It stands with arms flung out as if declaring "look what I have wrought!" Horns sit upon its helm pointing up and outward in a slight arc. Eye slits sit high with a double opening between jagged cheek plates. The effect elongates the helm, an inhuman distortion that looks more devil than man. The collar and pauldrons are wide, overwrought and wickedly spiked. Open mouths scream from the underside, echoes of suffering or cries of bloodlust. The figure is skeletal with one bony foot exposed beneath long flowing tattered robes loosely wound with barbed wire. Lines across the fabric of its chest suggest ribs as if there's no other substance beneath but bone. The hands, however, are tense, anguished flesh with long curving nails as if saying the delicate instruments of war are all too human. Projecting like bladed weapons from each sleeve, the sleek heads of a dragon and a long-beaked demonic bird extend in a mockery of open arm
