potion seller | fantasy pet portrait
2025 limited color pet commission in green and black in a small alchemy shop interior, a cat regards your entrance. he holds his paws daintily above his tucked legs on a pillow on the stores counter. He is surrounded by his wares, potions mushrooms and curios. a large cauldron emits a haze, and a basket of fish remains sits tucked near the stores entrance.

A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons. The headline reads “A man attacked federal bullets with his body” Underneath the picture is a quote saying “those bullets had families”

it's incredible how the ancient artists of 2011 were able to capture the power and majesty of the animals that were most important to them in a few simple lines.

A Smilodon for the ice age. Protect your neighbors. #pleistocene #sabertooth #megafauna #iceage
The image shows a blue Smilodon (a kind of extinct big cat with long canine teeth) roaring to the viewer on a red and orange background. It is framed by the words "CHIN UP" and "FANGS OUT". The style is like a vintage screenprint though the artwork is digital.

Ice Age art!

A lovely little horse figurine sculpted from mammoth tusk around 15,000 years ago!

Known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’ it was found in 1886 in the cave of Les Espélugues, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. 📷 by me.

#Archaeology
My photo shows a small horse statuette in a museum display case. The horse, viewed in profile, was masterfully carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The sculptor has depicted many realistic details such as the eyes, nostrils, and ears flattened against the head. The coat is represented by finely incised lines and dots. The mane is sculpted in relief, with incised lines on both sides. The four legs and tail are incomplete. The surface of the ivory has a shiny brown patina. Dimensions: Length 7.3 cm x Height 3.5 cm. The statuette is known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’. It was discovered in 1886 in a rock fissure in the Espélugues cave, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. Part of the collections at the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale, Domaine national de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗
comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

My patterns are designed for cardboard but play nice with EVA foam and occasionally leather. #cosplay #costume #therian #rabbit.

I am good at interesting shapes, flow, and good shape language when I put my mind to it. I’m extremely good at cross applying skills from one real medium into another. I know what I want to exist and if it doesn’t exist I’ll make just that thing exist.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

My sapphire Dragonborn after many shenanigans finally had one last magical mishap…and was revealed to be a little shiny golden kobold the whole time. My sketches rarely go this far, but it was kind of zen to color. #art #dnd
A color drawing of a Dungeons and Dragons character. They are a small necromancer kobold with clothes that lightly suggest a desert theme. The kobold is golden with a blue duo chrome effect. Materials are crayola colored pencils, pen, and sketchbook paper.

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art

Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...
Digital artwork with a square aspect ratio. It features six highly stylized lionesses in a pride circling a slain male lion. The male is shown from top-down view while the females are shown from a side view. The lionesses have mandala patterns in their fur. The dead male lion appears skinny and old. The style is similar to a vintage print on textured paper. The color themes are gold and red. The bottom right contains the artist's signature and the the word "yong-gi" which is a Korean word for courage.

Went as the Mari Lwyd to our local Creepmas Parade. I had a lot of fun chewing the scenery and even got to rap battle!
Mask pattern by @palaeosinensis.com
A person dressed as the Mari Lwyd, a Welsh holiday spirit. Their mask is a craft foam horse skull adorned with holly and ribbons. The Mari Lwyd mask, from the front, sits on a table next to their well earned alcoholic beverage. The Mari Lewd gnaws on a Christmas wreath. Shouldn’t have left her unattended!

Happy winter solstice to all; from this day onward the light only grows.

#death #rebirth #art #cat #wolf #linocut #digitalart
A digitally created faux linocut print; there is a column with text on the left and a columb with artwork on the right. The entire piece is based on Mahler's Symphony No. 2. The text reads "You were not born for no reason. You did not live for nothing; nor suffered in vain." The artwork on the right uses a cat buried and growing a new tulip poplar above it to represent the remaining symphony text, "What has lived must also perish. What has perished shall rise again." Artwork is human made with zero AI. Digital artwork of an anthropomorphic white wolf figure in a field of snow in the dark. The wolf wears a purple ruana pinned with a penannular. The wolf is highly stylized and the snow has faint celtic designs in it. The wolf is using their paws to shelter a single tiny flame on a pile of twigs while faint embers, dead leaves, and snowflakes blow around the wolf in the wind.

One life eclipses another; Smilodon takes down a whitetail deer. Inspired by petroglyphs, cave art, and ancient Scythian art. It's weird to think that the whitetail deer survived the ice age and made it to the present but many of its predators did not. #art #smilodon #paleontology #rockart #deer
Digital art of a Smilodon hunting a white tailed deer buck. Both figures are drawn as if they were petroglyphs. The Smilodon is pouncing the deer while the deer's rear legs twist to the opposite side of its body. This twisting leg direction signifies a dead or dying animal in Scythian art which also has influences on this piece.
