Okay, my new watercolors are GORGEOUS and I can't wait to draw something else. I am so much in love.

Also very excited to get back to this power couple. Roleplay shenanigans between them are fun.

Watercolor illustration of my OCs, gay couple. Oles, dressed as the priest, gently touches Morgan's cheek (he is dressed as some sort of a kinky "black nun").

I wanted to do a companion piece to the previous one, right?
So now it's Orion and Minz's hand. A bit more sensual this time though. 😏
I had to tinker a bit with mixed media because watercolor was extra bitchy today, but I am happy with the end result!

Watercolor art of my OC Orion done in monochrome blue. Minz's hand done in red color touches Ori's lips in a sensual gesture.

Let's get some more #ffxiv commissions? :D

My precious boys together.
Minz and his younger brother, Wolf. They are very close, even though there is a constant "tough brotherly love." Wolf often trolls Minz; Minz often leaves bruises on Wolf during sparring sessions. But do some harm to one of them, and you are dead by the hands of the other.

Short #queer #comics time!

Orion decided to try Minz's top, but...

Both of them have their insecurities and a troubled childhood/teen years. Orion suffers from anxiety disorder and often starts ruminating, even though he keeps his composure for everyone around.

I love them so much. 😭💖
Page 1. Panel 1: Orion puts on Minz's top. It's short, it has boob window and it looks nice on him, but... Panel 2: Orion stands in front of the cracked mirror. He remembers his father's words and rumination begins. The words are embodied into the long shadow behind him. The wall behind mirror has words too. "Look at you. You are ugly. You are skinny and pathetic. The only positive thing about you is your youth. Nobody would ever look at you if I didn't tell them you are worth it. You have the most attractive, rich and generous partners thanks to me. No one cares about your nerdy shit, but more gym time could change your life more than all this studying." "Do you think he is any different? Do you think anyone is? Do you really believe someone finds you attractive? He would laugh at you in the same way everyone does. Now take it off until he sees you. TAKE IT OFF NOW!" Page 2. Panel 1: Minz comes in just in time to save Orion from his intrusive thoughts. He says "Hey, I really like that top on you. Want to keep it?" Panel 2: Orion is a little bit embarrassed, he covers his torso with his arms and replies "Nah, I think it's for the buff guys like you. I have nothing to show off, unlike that chest pillows of yours." Minz replies "A shame. You are beautiful and I'd like to see more of you." Page 3. Panel 1: Minz pulls Orion closer by the top. He says "There is one more thing I would like you to remember." Panel 2: Minz hugs Orion, whispering in his ear "Each time you look into the mirror, I want you to remember my voice telling you that you are handsome and hot as a thousand fucks. And don't make me repeat these things between thrusts, okay?"

Illustration for Kate Gateley's book "Shadow of the Yew Tree". The artwork is going to be printed as a double-sided bookmark! :)

P.S. it's hard for me to post instantly, I can't say I feel comfortable on social media. But I try.

Illustration of Phoebe (blonde woman with waist-long hair, dressed in a simple lavender-colored dress) and Ronan (man in his 40-ies, dark hair, a bit of "salt and pepper", dark beard. He wears a coat and brown suit. Phoebe's background looks more magical and whimsical, while Ronan's is more earthy, with sunset and sunflowers.

Wyverns? Wyverns!

Ruairi Vilulf and Eire Trygg, characters from "The Crowns of Talam" by L.E. Van Veen. This commission was a super enjoyable one to work on and I am so happy to see how these two look as a bookmark. <3

This artwork (per client's request) specifically references Mucha's famous "Dance" from "The Arts" series with a few alterations here and there.

"The Martyr"
Honestly, one of my favorite traditional artworks. While it has it's fair share of mistakes, I genuinely enjoyed the process and I said what I wanted to say.

Done with Copic markers, Prismacolor and Luminance pencils.

This illustration represents self-harm. My OC Minz laying on the stone floor, surrounded by red roses and thorny vines. He is covered in cuts and scars, wounded by arrows. He stabs himself with the knife. Behind him there's a halo made of blood smudge and some smaller knives.

I know that I've started gathering you for art nouveau, but I have personal projects and I LOVE working with pencils and markers. Maybe you will like some of my personal artworks too! <3
