I've been reached out to for a couple of comms and having been sucked into book world for the better part of a month (and change) I am feeling r u s t y
I've been loving the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone though! 💪😤

A centaur woman embracing a centaur child. Each character belongs to their respective owners. And oh man... horse bodies are HARD hahaha This is just a screen shot of my procreate screen with the finished lifework and rough back ground lines. I like keeping the bg rough because the majority of my heavy lifting for it is within my painting process. But I like including rough lines just so folks can hopefully see what I'm thinking of rather than leaving it as a blank space

I don't know if it's just me but my desktop browser (Firefox) won't load anything within BS? I've tried signing in and out and refreshing the page. Nothing will load.
Mobile is fine on my phone though which is weird. Don't know who to tag about this
Screenshot of the page I get when signing into Bluesky. The wheel just keeps going around and around. Thinking about loading but never does Screenshot of me trying to see my profile page

QRT with your fanart 🕯️
Majora's Mask's Skullkid is playing his flute for his friend, the Hero of Time. We never do get a "what happens after the story" and I have always liked the idea that he keeps Link company for a while until the Hero of Time can help out the Hero of Twilight

Since finishing Frankenstein I was thinking; if I were to make a cover what angle/feeling would I go for? So here's Victor in *all* of his glory. Surrounded by pages upon pages of his life's work and how he's feeling about the situation

#digitalart #procreate #Frankenstein #artistofbluesky
We find Victor Frankenstein sitting on a stool in the ship cabin he finds himself in with his head leaning against his hand. Across the floor are pages of his life looking back up at him. Behind him is the shadow of the monster, the monster than he been his shadow since bringing him to life

This past couple of weeks I feel like I've been running around like a madman with work

In that time though I've moved onto Frankenstein and reading it has me even more excited for the new movie coming out

Spoilers though: already half way into it

#booksky #fiction
A picture of my current read; Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Above it is a little pencil case my bestie sent me a couple years ago with a couple of ghosts on it, a little house, stars and a moon. Perfect for spooky season

After taking art breaks I find that the best way for me to get back into things is....to turn my brain off and to see what happens. 90% of the time it's nonsense but sometimes something cool comes out of it. Not sure which this one is 🤷‍♀️

#digitalart #procreate #canartist #artistofbluesky
Not entirely sure how to describe this to be honest. It's a mostly blue forest with a hard red/white backlight using a paint brush texture that I like in procreate. There is a creature of some sort standing before the light, obscuring most of its features beyond it's glowing eyes and mouth. Between you and the creature are oddly shaped trees

Now onto the totally legit documentary Van Helsing (2004) as a treat for finishing Dracula

It's been so long since I've watched this and it's going to be so funny to watch now given Dr. Helsing was just a prof who was a big folklore nerd. He was just a lil guy turned vamp warrior BEAST
A picture I found after a quick google search. From the middle left shows Van Helsing holding up his cross bow looking confused(?). From middle to the right is the picture used for the box art for Van Helsing 2004 featuring Hugh Jackman as Van Helsing and Kate Beckinsale as Anna Valerious (can't believe they didn't name her Mina because this totally would be her; kicking ass minus the 1890's mindset towards women)

A picture taken of page 256 of Bram Stoker's Dracula I highlighted the words "Count de Ville" because that's the name Dracula's used to buy some property in London. It's so on the nose it's hilarious

As for after work today... I'm pretty pumped because I haven't gone to Nuit Blanche since moving here a decade and a half ago
On a blue background is a pink/white moon (I assume it's a moon given it takes place at night) Top left in white reads "Nuit Blanche" Bottom left in white reads "Oct 4 7pm-7am" Below that in a black trim, written in white is the Toronto logo of city hall with the word "Toronto" beside it

Thanks so much for hosting the event Davis

I'm Kart, a canadian artist who likes fantasy, ocs and moody lighting things. But enough about me, time to go through the thread and find some new people 👀
Nintendo's Skullkid from Majora's Mask is found playing his flute on a stump in a forested area. Between his legs rests a skull and on either side rests Link's sword and shield A friend's oc Dev is sitting on a stool in his greenhouse. In his hands he holds a potted coleus. A large mirror to his left shows he's not all that he appears to be Recent commission of a dryad lady sitting in a garden. In her hands she's holding a snow drop and she's shedding tears as she's the embodiment of spring, and thus, spring showers A man with silvery hair and a scar across his throat looking down at the viewer with some dramatic mood lighting. This was a request I did a couple of months ago where the character is supposed to be a vampire if I remember correctly. So wanted to try and catch some of the superiority feeling the requestee was conveying about him. Went with red for the bg colour choice since "red means danger"

Skullkid from Majora's mask sitting atop a stump with the sword of time to his left and a large shield to his left. He's playing his flute to a skull shown between his thighs I know according to official lore Link's supposed to turn into a stalfos but...what if he does make it to Majora's mask and, having saved skull kid from the mask, skull kid then stays with his new friend to watch over him for a while before the hero of time can help the hero of twilight?

Last week went by WAY too quickly but with letting my brain wander I decided...
To try and cut down on doomscrolling why not embrace reading instead? And what better genre than some yummy gothic lit for spooky season
Since picking these up I've been utterly devouring Dracula

#booksky #fiction
A collection of books I've picked up for spooky season Front and center is Dracula by Bram Stoker (I've been totally loving the format of the book. Oh the dream of having journal entries as exciting as Jonathan or Mina's) The stack of books to the back right are: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (I really want to read this before watching the new movie that's coming out early Nov) The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

The quick speedpaint. You can see me changing my mind about a couple of things along the way. One thing I'm glad I added was the lantern because it was going to be way too dark otherwise.
I dunno, something about moving into fall always puts me in a Majora's Mask mood

Could you be my friend, too? 🟩

Deep in the woods Skullkid sits atop the stump he drew his friend on so long ago. From time to time he likes to go and keep him company, singing him songs and telling him stories. Unaware that in the far future, the Hero of Time will pass on his knowledge to the Hero of Twilight I know according to the official lore Link was supposed to turn into a stalfos on OoT to get to Twilight but...what if that wasn't the case

A screenshot of my ipad screen. On the right hand side is my pinterest ref/mood board. On the left hand side is my procreate screen. In a small upper right hand box I have a rough lighting thumbnail. The main image is me working on a gossip stone. Fingers crossed I can finish this up either today or tomorrow

I have one boy who does but...he's based on a heron so I can give him legs for days. For Hesh though he has two modes; tall squat and birb tucked under thighs. Even then I can't figure out his full tucked legs look while making it look convincing so... GOOD LUCK

The "Timothy" is a "Timothy William" aka a wall of "Will"s (I thought there were more honestly). I think my fav is the "Joan" sent from "[email protected]" from "Daniel" e-mail signed "RAY"
Utterly exhausting? Oh yes
But I hope they stay on script because it's easier to auto-assume it's bs

I actually went into a multi-year art funk a bit after covid so not a ton of improvement? I do see a difference though so that's nice to see
Black text on white background that reads, "Art at beginning of COVID" The cover for a self-indulgent comic I started working on around Covid. It's of this samurai0ish looking character I had who's standing before a mirror (looks more like a pool of water or something) with swirling smoke emanating from both the mirror and the character Black text on white background that reads, "Vs. Now!" A dryad-like woman sitting in a garden in a pink dress, a silver tiara and pearls. She's sort of like the embodiment of spring and thus cries "spring showers." In her hands she holds a snowdrop

Mushrooms

#wip #digitalart #procreate
A screen shot of my Procreate screen. Top right I have a reference up of the rough colouring/lighting I'm thinking of doing. To the left is me just slowly working on the image itself. When it feels like the world is going to shit why not just paint some mushrooms instead of getting overwhelmed by news for a bit

New 👏 week 👏 new 👏 project

Trying to embrace slowing down is honestly so hard. I needed to take a break from staring at screens yesterday so played around with some rough ideas in my sketchbook first. Have now finally hopped into procreate to get this party started

#wip #procreate #sketchbook
A screenshot of my current ipad screen. To the left is just a quick ref/mood board I've slapped together on Pinterest. To the right are the rough sketch lines I'm going through to figure out my line work. Very much inspired by pictures of "demon girls with skulls between their thighs" I keep seeing everywhere. A photo of my sketchbook where I was just making very rough sketches to play around with ideas. I just went right in with my Sharpie pen because it's not about making anything look good. If you can't erase it then you don't get trapped in one place for 30 mins A close up of this little Skullkid in the corner because... it was at this moment of figuring out what he wears that I realized why I thought he was so cool as a kid. A big spooky hat and fingerless gloves? This guy was a bonified Cool Guy(tm) in my books

Huge congrats! It's actually pretty crazy seeing an artist who's work I've long looked up to here. So inspiring 💜

I've been lurking in my own little corners of the internet for a long while and have recently started putting myself out there publicly with my more stylized digital art
A recent commission of a dryad character whom embodies spring (her tears symbolizing spring like showers.) She's sitting in a sunny garden that's just starting to wake back up with life while holding a snow drop tenderly in her hands A fairly simple full body of a character of mine. I've tried pulling from both far east and nordic inspired clothing to help illustrate how well travelled he is from his story point of view. In his hand he wields a large war hammer A piece I did for a friend not too long ago. Her character practically lives within his green house and is sitting on a stool holding a potted coleus. To the left of him is a large mirror reflecting that he's not all that he appears to be; showing a bit of the spirit who's attached to him and that the spirit's version of the coleus has died A snowy landscape, close to the camera to the left is a couple characters covered in snow who've found the source of the storm far in front of them. In truth I still really like this simply because I liked how I handled the snow on the character. I had never done this before so it was a lot of fun playing around with it

Here we go; see what I mean? Lighting effects are typically a lot of Screen right and with things that aren't white it's not going to work out well. Also me struggling to make a group (can you tell I rarely do them LOL) but he could have done that but a group clearly looks different than a layer

Sometimes I just don't want to do proper line art
And when I do I want to say it's "trust the process" for a good 90% of whatever I'm working on

I've been seeing artists posting "icon/me/art" and was feeling left out. Haven't done a self-portrait in years 🫣

Just a quickish painting still-life I did in procreate. I grabbed three potatoes and painted it. Honestly just wanted to play with a couple of brushes that I don't typically use on a regular basis
