Quick thing I did with some of those new brushes procreate added with that major iOS 26 look-alike update. Not entirely sure if I like what I did with the lighting.
A digital illustration of a person with long, dark hair. They are wearing a plain white mask with two sets of horns that branch out at either side, with a red cord wrapped around the base of each. The cord meets in the middle of their forehead, tied around a tear drop shaped stone. Below the stone is a pair of angled, blank black eyes. The rest of their body is more straight forwards. They are wearing a loose, light blue and green cropped shit with half length sleeves over a form fitting dark blue long sleeved shirt. This is paired with a pair of dark pink, high waisted pants. The person is standing in a slight action pose, their left hand held out to their side in a fist, and their right is held out across their front, holding a spear-like weapon.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

something quick I did in aesprite after not doing pixel art for awhile
An rgb pixel art portrait of a character with a flat, white face; whose only feature is a straight line running down the middle. The character is facing the viewer dead on, while two copies of themself stand on either side of them, looking out towards thge left and right. The character in the middle is in a red monochrome pallet, and their copies are in blue (left) and green (right). Behind them the backgorund is a simple black with a dark gray border.

this was originally supposed to be for a shitpost for my ocs but I vibed too close to the sun #oc #digitalart
A digital illustration of a figure with no face. They are wearing a cream colored cloak with the hood down, and a dark gray long-sleeved dress. They are clutching a staff with a hollow circle on top where the sole light source for the image- a floating flame- is contained. Around the figure is a wispy purple and blue haze, and from above and below thin white strands stick out crookedly in a calligraphic fashion, almost like abstract tree branches.

got bored and drew something based off of one of those 2010s deviant art character bases (this one was specifically by Mugges)
A drawing of three characters precariously sitting ontop of eachother. The character standing at the bottom of the group is hunched over and looks a little annoyed. Though that look is partially due to two long peach scars running down his face that prevent his eyes from opening all the way. He's wearing a cropped desaturated light blue shirt over a dark blue long sleeved shirt, and dark maroon/pink pants that flair out a bit. The character sitting on his shoulders looks like their back is about to give out. They are dressed in a long dressed hiked up above their knees, a cloak, and short boots. Everything in their outfit is in greyscale, and their face is extremely pale and featureless save for a red line down the middle. The character on top of their shoulders is starting to lose her balance and has one of her legs sticking out precautiously. She is holding a large scythe and is dressed in a loose cream and orange shirt, and a middling brown colored pair of pants. Her hair is in smaller dark braids that are woven into larger braid-eque patterns with teal beads.

this may be the tiny hands talking, but playing a switch lite after using an oled for a few years is a far more comfortable experience, no uneven device weight distribution, no sagging, slightly better feeling analog sticks, just idk

I did this bit of pixel art like a month ago then promptly forgot about it
A pixel art based illustration of 3 people. The one on the left looks at the one on the right. Both the one on the right and the one in the middle are looking down. The one on the left is armed with a scythe and is wearing a plague doctor mask and a multilayered pink cloak. Her cloak’s hood is down, revealing a chunky braid of brown hair. The one on the right is dressed in various shades of grey and has abnormally white skin. Their short cloak’s hood is up, obscuring most of their face. In their right hand is a staff with a light at the end that acts as the piece’s light source. Finally the person in the middle is shorter than everyone else, wearing a long, baggy, green shirt. Around his neck and ankles are red cords. He’s clutching the one around his neck.

admittedly getting the details right for this pencil sketch (of all things) took a little under two hours
A picture of an open sketchbook with a Nintendo Switch sitting on top. The Nintendo Switch is showing the menu screen for Tears of the Kingdom, with Link facing away from the viewer. On the part of the sketchbook that isn’t covered by the gaming console is a high detailed pencil outline of Link in the same pose holding a Mighty Zonai Bow. He is also standing next to a stone pillar.

Toriel Dark World sprite idea I had that I forgot to post here the other day. The sleeveless purple robe is based loosely on the one she wears in Undertale.
A front facing fan made sprite of Toriel from Deltarune. She is dressed in blueish dress with a dark purple robe on top and a lilac scarf around her neck. In her right hand she is holding a dark purple staff with the deltarune angel logo hovering around it. A back facing fan made sprite of Toriel from Deltarune. She is dressed in blueish dress with a dark purple robe on top and a lilac scarf around her neck. In her right hand she is holding a dark purple staff with the deltarune angel logo hovering around it.

An illustration of Hornet from Hollow Knight with her signature needle and red cloak. She is in the middle of a jump while the thread attached to her needle flows around her.

I’ve been brainstorming a video game idea, and this was one of the sketches I came up with while testing out colors and such. There’s not really much to say about it at this point, but I’m aiming for the same feel those early isometric puzzle games had.
Pixel Art of a plague doctor standing alone in a dark environment. Around them are large ribbon cables attached to the floor and walls of a platform surrounded by re-tinged water.

quick doodle of a work in progress oc that spun away from me (kinda, was gonna blend out the highlights and fully render this but the laziness and original scope of this drawing eventually came back to me)
A colored illustration of an original character. The drawing is divided into two sections: a faded close up of the character’s side profile, and a bright, full body render overlapping the side profile. The character has short red hair and white skin, and is wearing shades of purple and green.

it’s very difficult to resist the urge to hyper render everything despite my grasp on color theory being a bit borked

thing I made like?? two months ago?? while rewatching a single pale rose. would've posted this earlier but the masochist in me wanted to try my hand at the palanquin wall pattern (and as you can see the masochist eventually gave up) #stevenuniversefanart
An illustration of Pearl and Pink Diamond from Steven Universe. Pink Diamond is walking confidently out of the frame while Pearl trepidatiously follows after, holding her sword.
