Hi #Portfolioday, I don't have anything new but please enjoy some of my favorites! 🎨
I'm a traditional ink artist, sometimes use grayscale, and I fear colour.

Making art has been slow going into the final months of 2025.
I'm okay with that. I don't churn things put any longer (not like 2001-2009) and I prefer to draw when I feel like it. I also don't have a business in making/selling anything.
In this economy, who would buy? 🤣

By continually drawing one day/week/month at a time, there comes a day where you can see the gap so clearly from where you started to where you are now.

Ah yes, my first anime OC, who I remember was a vampire hunter. Super edgy hair design (at the time) in 2001. I don't remember her name or anything else. 🤣

I hope I'm not too late for #PortfolioDay, cause I have some newer stuff to show!
Hi, I'm a traditional mark-maker who loves ink and adding details to lots of my subject matter. Colour generally scares me.

It's spooky season, and the Hive from #Destiny2 check all the boxes. Here's my small contribution to the fandom, and I need to redraw Oryx again. But in a more traditional art fashion. #digitalart #oryxthetakenking

Update. I'm going to use as much texture and weighted lines for this. #traditionalart #ink #armour #fantasy #d&d

I am absolutely horrible at drawing armour, so this piece will be a combination of me drawing armour, making it fantasy-based, and going so far from what armour looks like that I make something entirely different.
Also, braids.

I updated my gallery with my most recent works! Now to expect nothing for another month as I go back into reading my pile of books. 📚

I might consider opening an Etsy store, or something non-Etsy but like it, to sell small postcard prints and the original pieces I've drawn.
Otherwise everything stays in my portfolio and never sees the light of day.

It's a simple website, and curated in some ways. I might add a **blog** of all things, though I am content enough with this simple design. #inkingimps

I have to redo my website.
I won't put *all* my artwork on it (I might have separate areas for older works or the sacred mushrooms) but it's time to get back to having an active and actual website.

A proper scan to follow... I have 3 other illustrations to scan in, touch up, and then get around to posting. Eventually.
For now, enjoy this humble photo under evening lamp light. #mermaid #b&w #traditionalart #inkingimps

Let's get some tail action! Best way I found to make the scales stand out is to add some texture. #Mermaid #ink #b&w #inkingimps

Basic outlines are done, have a few scales, and working on improving my weighted lines for this piece. Background? Maybe a shell? #Mermaid
