It's tough being a wolf pack leader and the strongest witch in the swamp. Sleep is a necessity.

Pei Ming tries butt - a totally serious fanfic that definitely didn't start as random smut!

Pei Ming gets it on with various gods. Explicit, obviously.

Hi #PortfolioDay 🖤

I am Rory/Valeriy, a NB artist from Italy who loves drawing pretty men and fantasy~ Also working on my book!

Mock cover of Renfred Maar and Izra in their official garments.

Maar in the popular game Hades style in a fake screenshot. Speech bubble says "Call me for some fun, or if you need me to kill someone for you."

Forest background, Fuli (red haired tiefling) and Garreth (brown furred wolfman) being very close. Garreth is brabbing at Fuli's ass, who is enjoying it and letting his jacket hang low, leaving his skin bare, marred with old scars and vitiligo.

Loving kiss between Valeriy (self insert) and Otto Apocalypse. Both are dressed elegant under a pink flowers canopy on a rooftop overseeing the skyline and sunset.

Hello #PortfolioDay!

I'm Oliver, a queer and disabled artist/writer based in the UK. I love to paint with ethereal lighting and playing with lost edges.

Whilst my illnesses are too severe for work, I still take part in charity projects and mutual aid (see below) and happy to be invited!

A digital landscape painting with oil like brushes. Two characters kiss underwater, holding hands as they float through the water. Cyrus, left, is a tall Black man and wears fantasy travel like clothes with knee boots, baggy trousers and a sleeveless jacket with fur around the neck. He has long red dreadlocks floating around him in the water and pointed ears. Niko, right, is a slim light skinned man with long wavy navy hair. He wears blue toned princely attire with thigh high leather boots and golden details. He has a long pointed ear with a red earring. The piece has blue tones with bright warm sun reflecting off the riverbed background and off their clothes.

A digital semi realism painting with oil like brushes, showcasing Sothis, a youthful goddess with light skin and long, wavy emerald green hair in thick ponytails. She wears a blue purple dress with a black leather chest piece and golden details down her torso and on a thick circlet. She holds her hands over Garreg Mach, a castle in mountains surrounded by dramatically shaped clouds that swirl around her. Behind her are more natural clouds hit with sunlight. This casts Sothis in a golden glow from the side and beneath her, casting highlights on the lower half of her face.

Older depictions of Sylvain and Felix from Fire Emblem Three Houses in a digital oil style. They sit together on a wooden bench on a balcony, looking at warm moonlight together. A wall is behind them with an open window on a hatch, and leaves dangling around the building. A table is nearby with cloth, a pitcher and glasses. Felix wears turquoise robes with his canon boots, a stick propped next to him. His navy hair is longer, tied into a low side ponytail. Sylvain sits on his right, wearing a reddish brown jacket, a turquoise waistcoat and black trousers with knee high brown boots. He leans to Felix with a hand on his hip. He has a beard.

A digital oil like painting of Sorey and Mikleo from Tales of Zestiria in a realism style. Sorey carries Mikleo in a bridal carry, fingers spread as though pleading. His face is covered in dark shadows and he smiles sadly with blood dripping down his face, one leg on a tree stump and the other shown in perspective from above on the forest floor. Sorey wears his white cape with feather details and buckled boots over dark baggy trousers. Mikleo is sprawled lifeless in his arms, his own arms limp, blood dripping down on one and through the chest of his turquoise and white jacket with gold embellishments. There are leafless trees behind them against a cool backdrop, and dying flames are on the forest floor.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Sapling, a genderfluid watercolor painter and narrative illustrator~ 🌱

I love body diversity, especially queer, intersex, and disabled characters!

Comms: tally.so/r/3NNaJ0

Also, I’m moderating a queer zine with an open call for artists (paid) at @taplingzines.bsky.social 🩷

A watercolor painting of two Congolese male twins posed for a photo together at a club. One is shirtless, with paint on his skin and medium length turquoise ombre twists that partially cover burn scars around his eyes and upper face. His skinnier twin has long dreadlocks with hair jewelry, no scars, and blue lipstick with gold eye makeup. The background is a foggy blend of purples and deep blues.

A detailed watercolor painting of a dark-winged angel with brown skin and hair holding his injured lover on his lap. The injured angel has brown skin and hair, with damaged lavender wings and chest bandages. They rest together in the clouds, stained purple and yellow from a sunlight glow behind them.

A watercolor of the angel Chamuel snuggling a jackalope-dog-like creature with turquoise fur and pink wings curled up on the ground. The picture is cozy, with a soft gradient of deep teal, periwinkle, and light pink. Paw print stars track along the background.

An intricate watercolor painting of a reclining masculine figure with dark wings in barely any clothing, except stockings, underwear, and a translucently painted silky pink shawl. He has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and is crushing a rose onto his chest with a lifted and gloved hand. Giant pink orchids, painted with lovely realism, surround him. Some pink fabric falls to the right side, and detailed hand painted blue lace fills the background.

Here’s a great thread on alt text! bsky.app/profile/ebth...

Eb @ebthen.bsky.social · Nov 14

If you're seeing encouragement/demands to do alt text and you're overwhelmed or confused about how to do it and you're worried you're going to do it wrong...

this thread is for you.

First: prompt questions to get you started.

Eb @ebthen.bsky.social · May 20

Alt text prompt Qs:

What would someone who can't see the image need to know about it in order to take part in the conversation? What is it about this image that made you choose it? What are the important details someone who could see the image would take away from it?

(Not for images of text.)

Hua Xiuying
Role: Strategist
Utilises the flowers on his body to heal, and his own magic and his spirit dragon Feifei to attack~
Just a little what if my OC was in Marvel Rivals, inspired by Invisible Woman's ass.
#oc #valsart #ocsky #marvelrivals #art #artist #characterdesign

front and back view of xiuying with the abilities on the right, he is scantily clad and has his spirit dragon behind him, one claw n his shoulder

ability text: radiance blast, damage dealing projectile. Outstanding beauty: all flowers explode from xiuying's body to heal allies, feifei attacks in a radius for AoE damage. Fly-fly: feifei grows in size to give a movement boost. Cuteness Aggression: feifei distracts an enemy. Don't touch me! Damages and pushes nearby enemies back. Plum Blessing: Healing over time on one ally, healing depends on the number of flowers plucked from his body.

Had a silly little idea of Váli making friends with other vtubers/streamers... or tries to. He finally managed to convince Flow to come visit him in his swamp, and immediately activated a trap. Oh no! How will they ever get out?! Bonus below~
