With luck, a hundred years from now (or more, who knows), someone will be drawing, because they saw the works of someone who was inspired to draw by my works. The joy of painting, paid forward into the unkown future. That would be amazing. #drachenmagier #art

Giving myself a little pat on the back for this product photo. Taking pics of my work is something I feel so unconfident in and I usually hate every attempt even when I follow all the advice generously shared with me! Special edition of The Botan Tarot drops Sept 18!
Product photo of a special red edition for The Botan Tarot, my self-published tarot deck illustrated in watercolor. The box is reminiscent of Japanese lacquerware. Around the box are various Japanese items with red, gold, and black.

OC Sparrow, ever ready for adventure! I just really liked how this sketch turned out after weeks of burnout-induced artblock #oc
A draft sketch of my OC Sparrow (who is the Page of Swords in The Botan Tarrow and inspired by the Japanese folktale “The Tongue-cut Sparrow”). She is a young woman with a naive hunger for adventure, prone to rash decisions but full of good intentions!

This is such an incredible resource for artists, and that 35% off ain't nothing to sneeze at! If you draw humans/humanoids, treat yourself to a pack or a membership!

One of my favorite things Peter Cullen did was this very specific Toonami bumper So when Cartoon Network acquired Hamtaro, they didn't know what to do with it so they shoved this wholesome show onto Toonami, and Toonami clearly didn't know how to advertise it Peter's voice just makes it funnier

Show how you draw old people (Asian elders version!). I know I still have a lot to learn in this particular subject matter, but I’m still proud of myself for these three 💜 • The Empress, The Emperor, and The Teacher from The Botan Tarot
Watercolor painting of an older Japanese woman with a chic asymmetrical angled bob and a purple robe with pomegranates on it. In her hands she holds a shamoji rice paddle and a large basin of rice. This is The Empress from The Botan Tarot, inspired by the artist’s mother and grandmother.A watercolor painting of a handsome older Japanese man. He has a short but full beard and his long grey hair is tied in a top knot. He affectionately touches the beak of the large eagle that is perched on his shoulders. This is The Emperor from The Botan Tarot, meant to invoke a softer and gentler image of East Asian father figures.A watercolor painting of a Japanese elder obscured by a half oni-bull-mask and ginkgo leaves. Their weathered hands hold an across and a sumi-e brush. This is The Teacher from The Botan Tarot.

An oldie from 2022 that has been on my mind lately.
Part 1, text reads “Sometimes things don’t work out.” A simple line sketch of the artist, casting a glum look at a dead shriveled houseplant.
Part 2, text reads “You can always try again.” A simple line sketch of the artist watering a new tiny houseplant.

Russell the Crow! A very sweet but cheeky boi, beloved familiar of Nara. He cannot speak other than an emotive range of “bruh” but she understands him well enough.
A closeup on a watercolor painting, this is Russell the Crow. He is the beloved corvid familiar of my OC Nara the Witch. He’s got a very cheeky personality, which shines through in this painting.

Artists quote with your yellow art! • Yellow is definitely a tough color for me - I need to familiarize myself a little better!
Watercolor painting with brushes in the background. The painting features a person shrouded in faded indigo clothing and a hood, their face covered by a half oni-mask. They are partially obscured by yellow ginkgo leaves. In one hand they hold a scroll, the other an ink brush.
This painting is The Teacher from the 2nd edition of The Botan Tarot (my version of The Hierophant)

A little Brushbuddy 🍊 #Art
An illustration of brushbuddy from witch hat atelier, a little white creature thats sort of a long smooth squirrel, it has no ears or visible mouth but it does have large eyes, a long tail and little grabby hands. The brushbuddy has his little body wrapped around a tree branch as it reaches down for some oranges that are growing from the tree.

This brought me joy.
A photo of a stovetop with a casserole and an open bag of chips right behind it. With the stove dials in the background, the bag looks like a giant excited mouth with eyes very happy about the casserole. Next to the photo is digital art recreating the photo as an actual super happy creature holding a casserole

Very happy with how this commission turned out for a client’s Greek mythology inspired #TTRPG one shot! A full-body, bust, stats (covered here), and a player token for online play. Thank you for your support! • Greek Brush Set by CalypsoCreativeSpace on Etsy
A Greek mythology inspired fantasy character for a TTRPG campaign. A tall elf man with tan skin, a blue tunic, a trident, and a horned serpent coiled around his arm which he looks affectionately at. He has curly shoulder length hair that is purple, orange, and pink like coral, and tattoos of a snake, bear, wolves, and a lion’s head along his right chest and arm. The artwork offers a full-body, bust, and additional player token with Greek motifs and embellishments. The character name and stats are covered by the token for privacy.

Hayao Miyazaki films start in his sketches—his "image boards." It’s a habit he’s kept up for 60 years. He works fast and loose, mainly in pencil and watercolor. Perfection isn't the goal. But you can trace his growth through the pictures. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-image-...

No festival outing is complete without some scrumptious street food! 🐙🏮 Thank you @shiranai.bsky.social for your trust in this commission!
A watercolor painting of a Shiba Inu with glasses and a black apron making takoyaki, a popular Japanese street food. He has a look of concentration and perhaps a bit of hungry impatience as he eagerly cooks. With a banner behind him and lanterns around, it gives the vibe of a food stall at a festival. Around the painting are the artist’s tools: a watercolor palette, mixing dish, and color pencils.

QRP with your skull art! Here is my Death card from The Botan Tarot 💀
Watercolor painting of a red-headed woman surrounded by white flowers (both within the painting and around the painting itself). She embraces the skull of an antelope while the skull of a wolf is placed across her ribs.
The two skulls indicate that Death comes for all, predator and prey.
