QRP with your dark art🖤
A sepia toned illustration of a woman in a white ballgown. Standing behind her, cloaked in shadow, is an ghostly figure. The character is an oc. An illustration of a ghostly woman, floating in a shadowed room. Her white ballgown fades into the wallpaper and her hair floats around her face. The character is an oc. A screenshot redraw fanart from the anime Bungou Stray Dogs, depicting Oda Sakunosuke as a teenage assassin working for the Port Mafia. A screenshot redraw fanart from the anime Attack on Titan, depicting Mikasa as a young child, laying on the floor while her house is raided by criminals. (Forgive the morbidity yall, this was meant to be part of a larger animatic I got too lazy to finish 😭🙏)

Finished my Mucha inspired princess 💚✨️

#art #artsky #bskyart #ocsky #oc #princess #🎨 #originalcharacter #digitalart
A 3/4 portrait of a princess or queen (maybe queen because she's older, actually). She is wearing a green gown with yellow/golden embroidery and embellishments. The sleeves of her gown drape to the floor. She is looking upwards to her left expression yearning. Her long brown hair flows around her frame, movement inspired by the artworks of Alphonse Mucha. The woman has dark brown skin.

BEHOLD... MY STUFF! QRT with yours!
A woman in a white ballgown stands in a dimly lit room. Behind her is a ghostly figure. A woman stands, clad in a white embroidered blouse and matching green embroidered skirt. Her hair is cut into a short bob, and she has a large scar across her cheek. A princess stands, hands held together by her chest and expression placid. Her long brown hair sways in the breeze and she wears a golden embroidered gown. A ghostly woman floats in a dark room. Her white ballgown fades into the background and her hair floats around her face.

Haven't watched or read #bungoustraydogs in a bazillion years, but found this screenshot redraw and thought I'd share :)

#art #artsky #bskyart #fanart #bsd #bsdfanart #odasaku #odasakunosuke #portmafia
A screenshot redraw from the anime Bungou Stray Dogs. The redraw is from Season 5, I think???? The artwork displays Oda Sakunosuke, back when he was still a teenage assassin working for the Port Mafia. He is hunched over, staring angrily at someone ahead of him. In the background is a bookshelf. The colour palette is basically monochrome, bar Odas bright, blue eyes. This drawing was from like 2023(?) so don't judge it too harshly, I'm aware the face anatomy is cooked asf 😭🙏

Another princess portrait for the collection✨️ This one is also part of a larger #wip

#art #artsky #bskyart #oc #ocsky #princess #digitalart
A portrait of a princess, wearing a hot pink gown and matching pink cone hat. Her clothing has golden swirls embroidered along it, which matches her long, blonde hair. She is holding an arm out and leaning to her right. The background is mostly just golden and pink with more of that swirl texture. There is a miniature, flat coloured version of the princess to her left. Idk why I did that lol just felt like it.

Congrats on 11k!!!!🥳🥳

Hi, I'm Soly! I make lots of fairytale/fantasy inspired art🌿✨️
A mixed media portrait of a woman. She is wearing embroidered, folksy clothing (a blouse with huge sleeves and a green skirt). Her orange hair is cut short in a blunt bob, and she has a large scar across her cheek. A portrait of a woman, clad in a large white ballgown. She is staring sedately to her left. Behind her, cloaked in shadow, is an ominous, black ghostly figure. A graphite illustration of a couple, embracing in a kiss. The artwork is inspired by Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" and contains references to the song, such as the knife in the man's skull, the flames surrounding him, and the youthfulness of the woman (implied in the bows). A mixed media portrait of a woman inspired vaguely by medieval princesses. She stands, hands clasped in front of her with a neutral expression. Her hair is brown and reaches her shoulders. She is wearing an ornate, golden gown, with long, off-the-shoulder sleeves.

shoutout to that time in 2023 I figured out how to paint and then never managed to paint like this again

#art #artsky #bskyart #🎨 #oc #ocsky #traditionalart #painting
A gouache painting from 2023 of a woman. The painting is an extreme close up of her face: she is staring to the right, looking shocked. Her skin is almost sickly, and her eyebags are a deep violet. She is white with dark hair. If memory serves me right, I used a reference of Allison Harvard on Pinterest to make this.

A meme redraw featuring William James Moriarty from the anime Moriarty the Patriot. William stands in a stationary aisle, holding a series of block letters in his hands. The letters spell out "help". William is smiling brightly. He wears his usual teacher outfit: A black three piece suit, red tie, and golden pocket watch. A meme redraw featuring Louis Moriarty from the anime Moriarty the Patriot. He is stood in a parking lot (??? maybe, idk it lowkey gives backroom vibes ngl). In each hand he is holding a kitchen knife. He is starting down intently at the knives, a blank/murderous smile on his face. He is wearing his typical outfit of a blue suit, blue bow tie and glasses. A meme redraw featuring Albert Moriarty from the anime Moriarty the Patriot. Albert is stood in front of a burning building, smiling and holding a glass of wine. He wears a black suit and green bow tie. A meme redraw featuring William James Moriarty from the ankme Moriarty the Patriot. William is in a classroom, standing in front of a whiteboard. Presumably he is lecturing his students on math. Behind the camera, someone (who's kidding, its Sherlock let's be so fr rn) is holding a magnifying glass up to William. The glass bisects William frame, making his top half appear comically out of proportion. He wears his standard three piece brown suit, except he has taken his jacket off.

Drop something colourless 🤍🖤

The girl is surrounded by smoke. The artwork is meant to convey the romanticized yet inherently predatory nature of relationships between younger girls and older men (as depicted within the song).

A graphite illustration of a girl and man embracing, inspired by Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire". Fire surrounds the man, who has a knife in the back of his skull. Smoke surrounds the girl.

#art #artsky #oc #ocsky #originalcharacter #pink #digitalart #mixedmedia
A mixed media (graphite drawing, digital colouring) portrait of a woman. The portrait is from her neck up, and depicts a woman with long straight hair. The colour palette of the illustration is primarily pink. I didn't draw this with a reference or specific ethnicity in mind, and the colours are ambiguous enough she could be seen either way. Death of the author, etc, etc.
