A gift for my partner. I know real hummingbirds don't sleep like this but then again this also isn't an actual color pattern so... Maybe this imaginary species does!
#Art
Digital art of a peach-colored hummingbird with blue wings sleeping on its back in a food coma, still dripping with sugar water and nectar, with one wing draped over its belly. Its feet are holding on to a white flower and cartoon Zs are above its head.

Artists, quote with your gloomy #art. 🍂
Lino print of a pool shaped like a human jaw with teeth visible, on a pile of other bones. There is a gothic window behind the jaw, through which a full moon, clouds, and stars can be seen. The moon is reflecting in the jaw pool's black ink water.

Does anyone here have experience in using very simply rigged, non-humanoid models in programs like Warudo? I don't need arm tracking or face tracking, just want the leech to look left when I do, etc.

QRT your growth ! 📈
Digital art of a green humanoid alien with one long, elfin ear, one human ear, and no mouth. It is surrounded by blue and pink bubbles. Digital art of a white man's fuzzy leg beneath a red robe, wearing a brown leather shoe. A goblin with rabbit-like ears, pointy teeth, black and purple striped fur, one purple eye and one yellow eye is clinging on to his ankle like an ankle monitor. The goblin is smiling and looks like he is very ready to get this man in trouble at the slightest provocation.

Thanks for the tag! Here are my 2025 faves. My reason for choosing these is that they helped me build confidence in areas I don't practice as often, and so I felt extra proud when I was done.
Digital painting of a floating mountain goat head blending into the landscape of a Canadian glacial lake. Digital painting of a giant ocelot walking down a highway at night. Lights from a town up ahead lighten its determined face and yellow eyes. Smaller roads are wrapped around its body like swirling ribbon. Fungi creature inspired by an iNaturalist sighting of a pepper pot earthstar fungus by user carolina35488. It is balancing on a twig like its a log and has a large, round head with two tiny eyes. Digital painting of a brown toad at night, in a dark pond with lilypads. It is sticking its head out of the water, its mouth is open and inside its mouth is a small, lit candle.

Repost with the first line of your novel!
Screenshot from a writing app that reads "Chapter 1: Hoarse bursts of someone crying out somewhere on the property popped out of each rest in the crickets' song, echoes through a sieve, making me stop momentarily every time."

9 - Least favorite piece I've done. Literally everything I ever did digitally before 2023 and 1/4 of my lino prints that other people really like. 😅 It's hard to choose just one to hate on! I love where I was going but I could. Not. Draw. Fire then. I choose this because the potential infuriates me.
Digital art of a ghost bear on fire. It has visible bones and a pine cone for an ear. It is staring intensely at the camera with orange eyes.

7 - A sketch or drawing I haven't shown publicly yet. Well, this one's literally happening right now on the right side of my monitor.
Screenshot from Krita, a digital art program, showing a sketch of an orange slug wearing a clown outfit. Different color options I might try out are to the right.

3 - Oldest piece of art I can find... Most of my old art is scanned on my broken laptop unfortunately, but here's some art I did in 2017, the album cover for a concept album I made about a novel I uh, haven't finished yet.
Collage of two skylines growing out of each other surrounded by colorful quartz crystals. Strips of paper with the letters "x" and "y" typed on them repeatedly are stuffed behind them,

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦‍⬛🎨
Digital art in a watercolor style of a green rose-ringed parakeet sitting on a branch that isn't colored in, just lineart. The parakeet is a bright green with a red-pink beak, and it is also a pear, with a stem and leaf coming out of its head.

this is who you're being nice to btw
Screenshot of 3D bits from a human character model without the head and body visible, just green hair and eyeballs floating beneath them in Blender, in a way that looks like some sort of surprised and terrified yet comical muppet creature.

Congrats and thanks for the artshare! I'm Noll and my art focuses on fantasy and nature-oriented surrealism.
Digital painting of a young white man with short, wavy red hair. He is looking down pensively. Part of his head is gone, a hole in which you can see a rocky islet with four tall pine trees. Pine twigs are tucked in his hair and behind his ear. Digital painting of a bunch of blue, green, and white fabric rumpled and wrinkled in a pile. In the center is a white swan, swimming serenely in a black rectangle void floating beneath it. Digital painting of a swirly, sparkling sky with a black bull running alongside an Australian Cattle Dog. The Taurus constellation is overlaid on the bull and the dog is looking up at him as it runs. Digital art of a vampire man with icy, pale skin and black hair waltzing with a woman in a black velvet dress with a beaded appliqué design on the back of a spine and rib bones. It is a close up of her shoulder, her brown bun hair, and the top of his face looking away.

I adore bats and texture!
Digital art in a retro style of someone in an old timey pumpkin costume sitting in a large dollhouse filled with Halloween candy. Digital illustration of a brown bat flying with wings up. The wings are also cherry blossom branches with petals drifting from them. Digital painting of a large, cream-colored dragon with batlike wings and party bunting whiskers and pink and yellow party hats covering its horns. It is flying through a cloudy sky with shades of pink. A child with short, black hair and light brown skin is riding the dragon and smiling wide with joy as he strokes the dragon's neck. He is wearing a teal t-shirt and striped teal party hat. Digital art in a colored pencil style of an orange and black bat (Myotis nimbaensis) wrapping a wing around itself.

I'm very late but thanks for the tag! I'm based in Germany and my focus is on fantasy + nature-oriented surrealism. Here's some recent-ish faves.

She has several gold piercings including two bell earrings, and is wearing a series of brown leather straps as a top. Digital painting of a giant ocelot walking down a highway at night.
