The way it's looking the lady whose car I drove my bike into is filing charges against me.
I'll be honest, it was my fault for assuming she saw me - still, this is going put me in the reds for months. Now is a really good time to buy from my shop if you ever wanted to. #art #bsnm

Product photo of a fine art print of my artwork "Son of the Forest". It shows a black stag prancing the forest at night. Its antlers are adorned with little lanterns and surrounded by butterflies.

Product photo of a black and white photo print. It shows a small, calm stream surrounded by bushes and trees.

Product photo of my original ink sketch "Cernunnos". It shows my interpretation of the Celtic deity, seemingly a woman in a long dress with antlers surrounded by moths. In one hand she holds a skull, in the other a blooming heart.

Thanks for the art share, Akane!

I'm Neil! I make shiny things for the Montgomery-Ramsay brand.

You can find our brand stuff here (but we also do custom work): montgomeryramsay.com

A pair of sterling silver Hexagonal Pyramid stud earrings sit on a purple surface next to a Montgomery-Ramsay product box. In he background, a design made from Hexagonal Pyramid earrings hangs on a purple wall. The Hexagonal Pyramid stud is an 18mm (from flat to flat) stud with 5 extruded levels of smaller hexagons moving toward the center like a stepped pyramid design.

Our sterling silver Heart of Hearts Necklace and Heart of Hearts Key necklace lie on a red table next to each other, surrounded by clear gems. The Heart of Hearts Necklace is a large heart pendant with a heart-shaped bail and small heart-shaped cutouts along the sides. The Heart of Hearts Key Necklace has a smaller Heart of Hearts pendant as its bow, and has wards with hearts cut into them.

An 18k white gold necklace hangs on the right-hand side of the image. It has a center stone of large, 4ct Brazilian sapphire, and is surrounded by 4 cts of yellow sapphires in oval shapes. On the left side of the frame sits the Montgomery-Ramsay product box.

A shot of the pieces in our Square Spiral Collection. A Square Spiral Medallion rests on top of a purple Montgomery-Ramsay product pouch on the left side of the shot. A pair of Square Spiral Earrings rest on top of a purple Montgomery-Ramsay product box on the right side of the page. The table and background are both purple.

She has peony flower in her hands and many, many eyes in her body that are visible from the cuts.

Pen drawing of a ghostly upper torso, neck, head and shoulders of a bald human emerging from a mass of organic shapes that suggest organs, musculature, veins and other structures. Facing left it is looking with solid white eyes and a third eye towards an area of alien writing and shapes in white on a black background next to what appears to the left half of a viewer facing grey style alien being in an embryonic pose in a container and hooked up to wires and is propped up by the same structure of the background

Pen drawing of a humanoid figure, seemingly colossal, striding across a twisted organic landscape with T shaped towers emerging out of the vine and tendril like ground under a pinkish-purple and blue plasma coloured sky. Structures reach up into the sky with shapes of various beings silhouetted against the sky in the large branch like structures. Other celestial figures hang in the sky at various distances while orbs of blue and purple light hover over the landscape in the foreground.

Pen drawing of a horde of open mouthed and screaming faces with tongues and other appendages stretching out from right to left on the page towards a screaming figure whose throat is exploding as a result of the various tendrils and energies lancing out from them towards it.

Pen drawing a slight framed young woman with her head encased in a metal face mask with strange markings on it with greasy hair spread out over it with devices and wires coming off the helmet. Her arms are bound to her sides by a metal band as she sits cross-legged in a long, old and tattered white dress that flows over her legs. She is separate but a part of the strange devices and technologies surrounding her with two spines emerging from her shoulders almost like distorted wings, seeming to be more of the controlled than the controller of the environment.

Oil painting of a winter scene, on 18-inch by 24-inch canvas. An early, light snow covering high mountains, with pine forests and rolling hills in the foreground.

Oil painting of old graveyard at sunset in autumn, on 18-inch by 24-inch canvas. Orange and red sky, with trees in orange and yellow leaves, green grass, headstones, and some spooky elements in blue and purple.

18”x24” oil painting of dark, jagged mountains amongst a cloudy, stormy sky. The clouds are sweeping across the largest mountain in the center of the painting. A break in the clouds from the upper-left casts a semi-golden light down on the landscape. Pine trees and a shallow pond sit in the foreground.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer.

Thanks for the artshare! I'm Darkroigh and I draw my OCs or random creatures. I like hot men, dark fantasy and horror themes. Working on a comic. Warning: I sometimes post 18+ stuff

A man with bat-like wings, 4 horns and a dragon tail covered in silver scales. He has blue eyes and is dressed in trousers and tight black sleevless shirt. He walks on a bridge to the castle, while behind him blue falmes spew out of the entrance with multiple dragon silvuettes in the flames

An anime male soldier with torn up clothes, black hair, eyebags and green eyes, holds up a sword with both hands as he is approached from two sides by arachne. Everything around him is covered in a spiderweb as one of the spiders is walking towards him on rocks

A giant black wolf with dark aura and glowing orange eyes

A shirtless, athletic man with horns and long dark-red hair, punches in the air, his fist creating and shooting fire around it. He wears grey martial art-style trousers and black shoes. One of his legs is raised with foot resting on the other leg, while around his foot he stands dance small flames. He stands on a rock with moss on it and has a rocky wall behind him

Thank you for the share!! Been all over the place with recent stuff 😅

A dhampir (Prudence) surrounded by an out-of-focus crowd of undead. She wears a white dress, akin to a vampire bride, and a white veil in contrast with her dark hair. She spins on the spot, smiling with one had at her side and the other raised, both conjuring bright green magic that winds around her arms. Above her raised hand rests a skull formed out of her magic.

A gnome (Helfi), ginger and dressed in brown and blue. They wear a nice coat, a turtleneck underneath, and have around their waist two belts, one holding a spellbook. Their outfit is accented with gold: their prosthesis, on their shoulders, in the form of buckles, and along the rim of their boots. One hand is raised, in a white work glove, while the other, their prosthetic, is tucked into their pocket.

A girl (Mimi) flies through the sky on top of a machine, hanging onto a pole with one foot propped on it's round body, the screen of it displaying a wide smile. A small black cat sits on the visor of the machine. Mimi looks out with a wide smile, holding an oversize wrench in her off hand, and wears a green puffer jacket lined with fur and working clothes- rough trousers, boots, an apron and gloves. Three other machines follow after her at different distances. Where she's looking out to her left, the sky stretches out with a green-blue hue and white clouds, hills just visible at the bottom of the image.

A teenager (Rebel) playing bass while moving across a stage. His head in angled down as he propels himself with one leg; and he wears a simple outfits of boots, jeans, and a red jacket.

Howdy! Thanks for the share! I'm Sylvie, and I draw my D&D blorbos (often with an attitude as they look to camera hoisting their weapon on their shoulder :P).

I'm also writing a retelling of one of our campaigns, ✨FABLES OF THE FIDDLEFEN CLAN✨ about a family of gnomes.
fiddlefenfables.wordpress.com

Sylvie Finds Home- Digital artwork featuring Sylvie Fiddlefen (OC, she/her) surrounded by her newfound family inside the Temple of the Heartroot. Sir Jonathan Crass (OC, he/him), a fellow Knight of Yggdrasil, kneels to Sylvie's right with a hand on her back. Telulu (OC, she/her), a changeling sorceress, stands to Sylvie's right with a comforting hand on her shoulder. Catca (OC, she/her), Sylvie's tressym, sits in front of her looking up at her. Tove Reinarson (OC, they/them), an elvish spirit guardian, stands to Sylvie's left and ruffles her hair. Marvesta Fiddlefen (OC, she/her), a giant sea elf and Sylvie's sister, reaching her hand down to rest a finger on her shoulder. Dahgi, Marvesta's quasit familiar, rests on her shoulder. The background features a large ash tree whose branches curve to form a glowing heart as golden sap runs down its bark. A miniature Nidhogg serpent curls around the trunk of the tree, watching the party gathered. Orielle (OC, she/her), a golden spirit of a dryad, lays across one of the branches, relaxed and looking upward.

Digital artwork of Terra Misu (OC, she/her), a goblin savant with green skin, long ears, and dark hair. She wears a very large blue brimmed hat with a plastic "Detective" badge and her gingerbread familiar Ginger Bear sitting atop as well. She also has a matching trench coat worn over her chef's apron. The thrumming jewel of Vlaakith's phylactery glows red embedded in her chest. She has ketchup and mustard bottles strapped to her arm, salt and pepper shakers on her belt, and a carton of candy cigarettes with one in her mouth. She also has a spatula, enchanted stirring spoon, and recipe book equipped. She holds a long rifle over her shoulder.

Digital artwork of Sylvie "Wildwander" Fiddlefen (OC, she/her), a gnome ranger with her sentient bow, Phaerya (OC, they/them). Sylvie has pale skin, blue eyes, long ears with silver earrings, and dirty blonde hair pulled into a bun. She wears a brown tunic with gray boots and a oversized, long blue scarf that trails around her. She holds Phaerya in one hand slung over her shoulder and twirls an arrow in her fingers in the other. The background features a large symbol of a bow and arrow.

Digital artwork of Cerenza (OC, she/her), a Cervan fighter. She has brown fur like a deer, one green eye, and one long horn next to the stump of a broken one. She wears a ripped dark blue cloak with a fur collar, along with dented, rusted half-plate armor. Her left arm is shriveled and withered, covered in bandages with graying skin and visible purple veins. She holds a large granite slab with protuding haft of iron as her weapon, held atop her shoulders as she glares at the viewer with an intense expression.

Black and white drawing of a woman with eyes wide opened. She wears a skirt with black pants, a black shirt with long sleeves and a jacket with short sleeves. She seems to be in a position to run, her hair floating behind her, and a small part of it shapes into 2 long braids, joining in a jewelry.

Hi, I'm Manuel and I make mostly spooky art using charcoal and digital means!

Charcoal drawing of an angelic protector. Stylized figure with large wings and a faceless gaze.

Eerie digital painting of a person sitting hunched on a wall. The image is mostly monochrome, except for slight haze in the background and a warm halo in the subject's hand.

Abstract, digital painting of pillars of light descending from what seems to be either a broken sky or the surface of a tropical ocean, looking up. The sandy ground disintegrates in a way that reflects the surface reflections.

#ABG_Art

Neith, Opener of Ways
Digital Art 2025

She's a dark, towering figure, all long limbs and flowing robes. Horns like a crown burst from her head, emerging from inky hair that trails off into nothingness. She has multiple, spider-like eyes, strikingly pale against her oil-slick skin. She has a gaping maw revealed under the robes with sharp, white teeth. She looks larger than life and strikingly inhuman.

In front of her is another character curled up and floating in a serene state.

The entire image has an oil sheen motif and inky oil features.

Commissioned on Tumblr

Kytas, Ascended God
Commission
A powerful, skeleton-like necromancer wields green energy bursting through the ground. He stands in an ancient ruin and behind him is an eclipse.

COMM:
4 tarot inspired illustrations featuring 4 villains in a ttrpg campaign.

The Gored:
1/7 A beautiful, pale elf woman with fit muscles and a white and gold ornamental dress. Blood flows behind her with ancient carvings depicting sacrifice and power is seen on the stone decorations.

The Oracle:
2/7 A powerful wizard in intricate blue and gold robes. He has a chest piece in the shape of a phoenix. There is a space/time theme and within his staff and robes glows a cosmic phoenix. In the foreground are his thralls.

The Maw:
3/7 A dark-skinned warrior with long hair wearing a shattered crown made of obsidian. He wears a long brown cloak over black and red armor. A cloth covers what seems to be teeth like decorations on the armor. Behind him, a demon wearing the same armor but wearing a red Oni-like mask has him by the throat. The scene is cracked behind him.

The Doombringer:
4/7 The goliath suit of armor of a long dead king reanimated to avenge his fallen kingdom. The armor has mongolian inspired features with a long, red trail of hair from the top of the helmet. There's a crown of aquamarine fire around the full iron faced helmet. The souls of his fallen people bind the armor together represented by ghostly hands spreading out from the cloak and in between the armor pieces. In his right hand is a massive great axe made of ghostly white energy. The armor steps through a battlefield of enemies felled by his hand, looking like they've been sucked of their life energy. Behind the Doombringer is a collapsing tower also filled with ghostly energy, and two hands are reaching towards him beside the tower.

#Characters by english-frog@bsky.social

Thimble, Character by Laura Bailey for Critical Role C4
Digital Fanart
A broad smiling female pixie flies slightly above a bar table looking up at the camera. She has her hands behind her back and head tilted mischievously. A slight glint of her needle sword is seen behind her.
