Still growing 🌱
Digital painting of me, sitting on the ground with my knees bent to my chest and my arms embracing them. The character's head is resting on one knee and watching a sapling of black poplar tree that was planted next to them. They have light skin, short ashy brown hair, green eyes, and are wearing folk clothing from the Dalmatian hinterland, which consist of a white shirt with wide sleeves, a black vest with red embroidery, black pants tucked into long white woolly socks, and hide shoes. They also have a cylindrical cap with red top and black sides and a tassel on the back. The character looks peaceful and has a slight smile. There is "Populus nigra" written above the sapling. The signature on the painting says "Snowy Avis, Avg.'26"

I went to my family's home region recently, and more importantly forced my father to visit it (something he's been avoiding to do in over 30 years). Needless to say, there's a level of peace your mind finds when it's at the right spot even when everything else seems so bleak over there.

Belated happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ from my partners and me in our folk clothing
Digital painting of me and my two partners in our folk clothing, laying next to eachother. One of my partners is laying upside down with their face in the middle, they have light skin, hazel eyes, short red hair and are wearing folk clothing from Slovakia which consist of a short White shirt with wide sleeves and golden embroidery, a red vest with black fur on the edges and with black and green circular embroidery, and a flat hat. They have a non-binary flag drawn on their cheek and are holding a polyamorous flag in ther left hand. They have a wide happy smile.
My other partner is on the right, he has light skin, blue eyes, and curly brown beard and mustache and long brown hair. He is wearing clothes from Slovenia, with a white shirt, yellow overcoat and a wide brim hat with a flower. He has the pansexual flag on his cheek. He is smiling and his arms are spread out.
I am on the left, I have light skin, green eyes and chin long gray-brown hair. I am laying more sideways so half of my face is hidden behind my partner's hair, and I am holding my hand on my other partner's shoulder. I have clothing from Dalmatia, with a white shirt with poofy sleeves, a black vest with red edges and embroidery, and a cylindrical cap with black sides and red top with black tassels on the back. I have gray-asexual flag on my cheek with a bisexual flag heart drawn over it.
The background is green with a rainbow flag. The signature in the upper left corner says "Snowy Avis, jul.2026"

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.
Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.Two of Onfim’s works.  On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork.  On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Fisherman
Digital painting of my character Hajro, standing on a wooden boat and holding a fishing net with both of his hands. Hajro has dark skin and dark curly hair, and is wearing a wide white shirt, black dimiy pants, a red belt, and a red headband tied left from his face and falling down his shoulder. He is looking at the fishnet and looks focused and calm. The background features the sea with some rocks sticking out and the weather seems nice but slightly cloudy. The signature in the corner says "Snowy Avis, Feb. 2026"

Jandrija's soul most commonly assumes the shape of a rooster. In this form he can't use his magical powers fully, and his body is vulnerable, but he feels a lot more at peace like this. He shows his "true" form only to other witches or people he deeply trusts.

In many Balkan folk beliefs, witches, like other supernatural beings, have a soul shaped like an animal, usually a flying animal such as birds or moths. Their souls can leave the body through the mouth, roaming freely while the body sleeps.

Watercolour painting, showing the side profile of my character called Jandrija. He has light skin, short brown hair, and a red cylindrical cap with black swirly embroidery on the sides and black tassels in the back. He's holding his throat and has closed eyes, as a brown-and-black rooster is flying out of his mouth. The background is pinkish. The signature says "SnowyAvis, Jan. 2026"

I occasionally want to post Balkan culture inspired works on Reddit, but the subreddits my work is relevant to (Balkan stuff subs) would implode from homophobia at the sight of my works, and the subreddits that would be fine with my works (queer subs) don't give a shit about Balkan culture

Dalmatian Serb shepherd X Adriatic Afro-Albanian fisherman 🐐💖🐟
Digital painting, showing two characters in a loving embrace. The character on the left is Jandrija, he has light skin, short straight brown hair, and is wearing Dalmatian folk clothing that consist of a white shirt, a black vest with red embroidery, and a cylindrical red cap with swirly black embroidery on the sides and long black tassels in the back. The character on the right is Hajro, he has dark skin, short curly black hair with longer twists in the back and black eyes, and is wearing Ulcinj sailor clothing that consist of a wide white shirt, black pants, red belt and a red headband tied slightly left from the face, so the bow falls down on his shoulder. Hajro is bending down and smiling, while Jandrija is holding him on the neck and kissing his cheek. They are both in the darkness, with light coming from the background, as if standing in front of a window. The edges of the illustration are a repeating triangular pattern. The signature says "SnowyAvis, jan.2026"

A digital painting split into two, both sides showing close-up of two of my fictional characters kissing. The characters are Jandrija and Hajro. Jandrija has light skin, short straight brown hair, a scar over his lips and under the right eye, and is wearing Dalmatian folk clothing that consist of a white shirt, black vest, and a red cap. Hajro has dark skin, short textured dark brown hair, and is wearing clothes of an Ulcinj fisherman, that consist of a white shirt and a red headband. Hajro is turned towards the viewer more with his back, while Jandrija is standing more frontally. Both have closed eyes and look like they are enjoying the kiss. The whole painting has a faint pink overlay. The signature says "SnowyAvis, Dec. 2025"

He especially likes rural men for the specific kind of beauty he doesn't see in the urban surroundings he's used to, but it's unlikely for such people to return his interest. His preference for men is influenced by the society he grew up in, where women were segregated from men

Hajro is a bisexual man with a preference for men. He is generally promiscuous and very openly shows his interest in men, but due to his traumatic experiences as a teenager, his interest always stays on a temporary level.
