"Momentary Alliance"
31x41cm. Gouache on paper
For my personal project ✨

I'm quite happy with this piece! The biggest one so far, ambitious colors and scene, depicting two opposite sides working together.
It was fun to represent their magic, similar but so opposite in color, shape and flow.

Fire pact 🎨 - Gouache on paper.
Doing personal art with traditional media has been so freeing. This piece was such a challenge, the bold saturated colors, blazing fire, magic 🔥 But I had so much fun creating it, specially happy with the blues and pinks 😭💕

Thanks a lot🥺✨
I ended up creating a table with some friends and friends of friends, they come home to play 💜 Most of them are new to ttrpg in general so I felt quite confortable. Right now I’m mastering Dnd, and my partner is doing one-shots/short adventures with different game systems

Hey Eric! Yara here! bsky.app/profile/yrab...
Something about myself... this year, I started two new things that turned out to be great. First one, I'm now a Game Master! hehe🎲⚔️
The second one, I finally jumped to full traditional work (even when I'm scared of the decision, I'm happy I chose it)!✨

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower

a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head.

the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance.

toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes
