Sharing another old piece, this time from 2023! I should have new art for next Monday, but if I don't, I'll definitely have something older to share. :)

Zenobia © @isang90.bsky.social

#ocart #art #repost
This character is Zenobia and she is a dragon! She belongs to isang90! In this portrait she's facing to the right and you can only see one half of her face. She wears long ear cuffs that cover the entire upper portion, with chains hanging from the bottom half. Her shirt is sleeveless but high necked, so you can only see the feathered parts of her shoulder. Her horns are a dark gray with gold embellishments. Her expression here is focused but relaxed. Most her outfit that would otherwise be visible is hidden by her long silver hair.

A digitally painted headshot of a fantroll ( Homestuck ) character. He has black and white hair split mostly down the centre although some of his bangs are both. He has striking bright red eyes and yellow sclera, a pair of sunglasses resting on his nose. His face is a mixture of the traditional troll skintone and a very pale human skintone. His eyebrows also share the split; one being white, one being black. The two visible pieces of jewelry he wears is a red teardrop shaped earring and a golden necklace that ( not pictured ) has a clock as a pendant.

Sharing some work from last year, again, since I'm giving myself a couple weeks to build up a backlog of newer things. :)

A side portrait of a masked character with a flowing mane that resembles smoke and fire at the very ends. The mask portion is an off-white and vibrant yellow with two sets of eyes. The mane is dotted with stars. The entire mane's design is based off of nebulae and galaxies, swirling around, resembling the real thing more than actual hair or long fur.

QRP with your art of fire! 🔥
A digital portrait of a male character that is facing to one side ( side profile ). He has vibrant red hair that blends out into fiery tufts that are a mix of orange and yellow, mimicking fire. He wears eye makeup and lipstick that matches his hair. There are little stars speckled throughout his hair to give the illusion of fire sparks.

#art #fanart #phainon #hsr
A digital portrait of Phainon ( Khaslana ) from Honkai: Star Rail. He's lit in high key lighting that sweeps across his face, illuminating it as though there's a fire lit behind his skin. His hair is a very pale gold, reminiscent of the wheat fields he mentioned growing up around. His eyes are an equally bright gold with dark purple pupils. There are cracks running along his skin, some illuminated gold, some blank.

I guess I can't refute it. 😂
A graphic containing a handful of cartoon animals; a capybara, a sheep, a small white bird and a red panda. The text on the image reads, above the capybara's head says " The Laid back soulmate - Chill, reliable and always there to bring comfort ". Other text around the critter read, " Super patient, good sense in romance, attention to detail, zero enemies - infinite friends, gentle, laid back ". The animals at the bottom says " Possible matches " - the sheep: Childhood sweethearts, the small white bird: Calm and content duo and the Red panda: Opposites attract.

I think these count?
A rough portrait of a blonde character that is lit by dramatic lighting. He is partly underlit, the light catching under his nose and parts of his face that would ordinarily be cast in shadow ( if the light was the other way around ; top down or coming from the top at an angle ). He has icy gray-blue eyes. A digital portrait of a blonde haired man that has a small section of his hair shaved off. He wears dark purple iridescent lipstick and dons shiny, equally iridescent eyeshadow + eyeliner. His jewelry consists of a highly polished collar style necklace and long silver drop earrings; both have a red and purple gem respectively. He is lit in high dramatic golden hour lighting, which illuminates his hair and makes it appear almost transparent in some sections. A digital portrait of Phainon ( Khaslana ) from Honkai: Star Rail. He's lit in high key lighting that sweeps across his face, illuminating it as though there's a fire lit behind his skin. His hair is a very pale gold, reminiscent of the wheat fields he mentioned growing up around. His eyes are an equally bright gold with dark purple pupils.

Quote with your art with horns!
A portrait of a demon with glowing golden eyes and gold tipped horns. He has long black hair that's accented in a pale yellow backlighting whilst the front is doused in a more desaturated version of that light. His skin is designed like an ombre; a dark, heavily desaturated purple at the very top of his forehead and a stark white by the time the viewer reaches his chin. His facial markings consist of four stripes; one on each cheek and two on his chin. His central tattoo on his clavicle is a star shape.

If you see this, post your bird art! 🐥

#birds #art
A digital painting of a very small but round bird with long tail feathers. The ends of the tail feathers and head feathers look like they're emitting some kind of fire or illuminated smoke.

Its feet are iridescent, shimmering between pink and purple with the pink being dominant in this image. The talons are neon blue and glow.

His main theme is based around stars as seen in his star-shaped necklace and the star embroidery on his belt tapestry. A digitally painted fullbody of a black character; he is largely dressed in golds and blacks. He has striking gold eyes that match the ends of his locs, which appear as if they're glowing. His black dashiki has shimmering gold embroidery around the collar and sleeve cuffs. His jewelry follows the same theming, consisting of highly polished golds. In this drawing, his pose suggests that he is in the middle of walking towards the viewer. One hand is held upright by his shoulder and the other is extended in the viewer's direction.

Artists! Quote with your long hair! 🍁
A portrait of a woman with long dark purple hair and very pale lilac skin that is leaning more towards the desaturated end of the spectrum. Her hair is tied up in a high ponytail. In this portrait she is facing to the viewer's left in a 3/4ths angle. Her gray crown is only partially visible at this angle. While her eyes do appear as though they're ordinary white pupilless ones against black sclera, there is a void there instead. A digital portrait of a bearded man with sunlit brown eyes. He is lit in split lighting that has very warm hues, suggesting he is probably standing outside. He has long dark brown hair and a beard to match, gray streaks throughout both. A digital painting of an older man, complete with soft gray hair and a coarse looking beard/moustache thats still hanging onto its darker brownish grays. A scar runs through his left eye that's a plain off-white, pupil circled in shimmering gold and its centre a flat white. He has a circlet style halo, hinting at what he really is. On his face he wears a pair of half moon glasses that are reminiscent of ones made in the mid 1800s-early 1900s. A rough portrait of a blonde character that is lit by dramatic lighting. He is partly underlit, the light catching under his nose and parts of his face that would ordinarily be cast in shadow ( if the light was the other way around ; top down or coming from the top at an angle ). He has icy gray-blue eyes.

I don't usually join in bc I forget ( I'm awful, I know ), but here's a little something for #Repostober

For the Pokemon enjoyers, Professor Sycamore. :)

#pokemon #fanart
This character is facing the right ( his left ). He is Professor Sycamore from Pokemon. He's wearing a traditional style labcoat with his signature violet collared shirt. Judging by his expression, he sees something that either makes him happy or content off screen.

As I said I'd do, for months, King finally has his ref sheet. I'm pretty happy with it, although there are some things i'll probably end up tweaking. 💫

#ocart #ocsky #art #refsheet
A reference sheet for a black character; he is largely dressed in golds and blacks. His fullbody references include a shirtless and pantsless version, jewelry always included. There are two headshots that show him with/without his necklaces + the beads he wears in his locs. He has striking gold eyes that match the ends of his locs, which appear as if they're glowing. Included are two focused versions of just his necklace + dashiki collar embroidery. The text on the image reads as follows, " Adéwálé Odùlé " in the main section and " Ọlọ́kọ̀ " in its own box, along with a small paragraph below. The small paragraph reads, " Known as the ‘sunbringer’ amongst his people, he descends from a long bloodline steeped in royalty and necromancy. Its unwise to provoke his temper, as some have come to find out his graciousness only extends so far. He is kind to those who are honest and true, he extends a hand to the vulnerable and the forgotten. It is the haughty and ego driven fools who often earn his ire. “

A character sheet depicting, Anton, who was originally described in his original post as follows, " A digital fullbody painting of an older man dressed in ornate robes, complete with long gray hair and half moon glasses. His color palette is mostly black and gold with splashes of blue and a warm bright yellow thrown in. He stands facing the viewer with his hands held aloft, palms up. His main theme is based around stars as seen in his star-shaped necklace and the star embroidery on his belt tapestry. " There are variations of him on this sheet, with and without the cloak. It also includes such accessories like his glasses, pendant and halo. The text on this page reads, " Anton Petrov, Антон Петров " and “ Anton is the final link between the original Cycle and the current age. He is the bridge between AEON and Aigis E. Hawthorne, responsible for binding the Læonea to his Maker. It is not fully understood what he is or where his allegiances lie. However, it is noteworthy enough to mention he tends to favor those touched by Divinity and has shown indifference to those who are without “
