A school of fishy for #LittleGuyJuly! Challenge hosted by @ivybrickss on Instagram - it has been awesome seeing so many brilliant micro creatures in my feed this month! Please excuse the faceted eyes, a few round Stud.io pieces are in need of an update. #LEGO #AFOLclub #MOC #fish

A trio of fish built with LEGO bricks, swimming towards you with bubbles floating around. One is yellow, one is green and the other is red with a purple fin. They have huge eyes on the side of their heads, each as big as their little body. Their round open mouths are represented by the Lord of the Ring ring piece, giving them a surprised, goldfish-like expression.

Meet Leafy! This lonely screenshot is sadly all I have left of him, as I'm afraid his file was deleted during the cleanup that followed a new drawing tablet testing period. Perhaps someday I will use him in a project. But for now, farewell my dear Leafy. #art #sketch #characterdesign #illustration

5 sketches of a little creature resembling a bundle of grass with two straight legs and two big oval eyes situated where the grass is tied together. A sketch shows it sitting on the ground with the grass blades spread out, in another it is dancing, in another it is looking around, in a 4th is is being held up by a hand with the feet dangling down and in the last sketch it is sitting down again this time with a black outline. On the sketch is it written in both French and English that it was born on October 2, 2025.

When crime falls upon the city, Detective TranquilWoods is the man for the job. His piercing eyes leave no clue behind. His wit makes even the strongest of alibies crumble to dust. You better not ruffle his feathers, `cause not even the mice are fast enough to escape his claws. #DigitalArt #Owl

Digital painting of a brown owl dressed as a detective with his green turtle neck sweater and beige trench coat. He has large, judgemental yellow eyes and holds a black magnifying glass. The background of the painting is an abstract cityscape set at night with a navy blue and purple color palette. The windows of the skyscrapers glow in a range of different colors that pops in the scene like little stars. A yellowish-green gradient gives the idea of fog going up in the night.

Can you guess by which known artist my new artwork was inspired? 🐥 Hint: He's Canadian #birdsofbluesjy #bird #art #digitalart #naturelovers

Digital abstract painting of 3 yellow birds on tree branches. The colors are earthy and deep, revealing asemic writing underneath the layers of glazes. The leaves of the trees are represented by fingerprint-like green marks. Light translucent rectangles cover various part of the painting, modifying the ting and saturation of everything the pass over.

My 1st entry to #Fortnite 's Design a Sprite contest: The Paint Sprite! The poor thing was shot, but it’s not less of an happy little sprite ready to paint everyone pink! It proudly wears a beret lid, is very energetic, and has large eyes with a spark of creativity in them. #conceptart #videogame

A painting of a fan-made Fortnite Sprite shaped like a glass paint jar with pink paint inside. It's made of clear glass, cracked by a gun shot at the top, and its lid is black plastic with a beret stem on top. A yellow and blue paint stain are on the lid. The character is happy and slightly leaning on its left. It has large black sparkling eyes. The text on the photo details its special ability: A creative spirit with colorful intentions. It will help you defend yourself by staining your opponents with a special poisoned paint. Paint inflicts continuous damages for some time, but can be washed off early by entering water.

Thank you very much! Imagining lifes for my characters when I draw is one of my favorite things. Designing little elements with purpose like that is how I share these worlds I built in my head with you afterwards! I'm glad you appreciated my approach. 😀

Flying among the trees, waving hello to all critters large and small, free spirits jumping from mushroom to mushroom leaving a trail of life wherever they go. 2/2

Zoom on the big mushroom on the right. A ladybug can be spotted on the pink flower bottom right, next to sparkling water droplets.

Zoom on the fairy. She has black hair cut in a pixie, and transparent wings sparkling in the sun rays coming from behind her.

Zoom a snail going up the mushroom on the left. It's slimy, and dripping above a large magenta flower of which the stamens seems to glow giving a whimsical feel to the scene.

⊱What Hides Below⊰ When Spring comes, nature wakes up. It's a magical display all around. But what we can't see are the fairies living in the tiny realm of the forest ground.... 1/2 #whimsical #fairycore #digitalart #art #fairy #artofbluesky

Painting of a magical forest seen from very low on the ground. 2 big red mushrooms are on the foreground, with a fairy jumping from one to the other. The fairy is wearing green leaves as pants, pink petals as a top, paired with a blooming dandelion as a skirt. The mushrooms are surrounded by flowers, grass, and insects. The background depicts tree trunks, with sun rays shining bright between them tinting the scene of a soft yellow glow. Fireflies fly around.

I caught a #mermaid! My participation to #Mermay Height: 162cm. Fingers: webbed. Teeth: surprisingly sharp. Gills are visible, but the lack of nose led me to believe it is capable of cutaneous respiration through its #frog half. More notes on this specimen at: annabellecreates.art/specimen-385

Digital mixed media painting of a small frog mermaid in a labelled jar closed by a cork. She looks to be displayed like a specimen in a witch cabinet. The mermaid if half human half frog, her skin and body morphing into a frog from the bust down. She has blonde hair, webbed fingers, gills in the neck and fin-like ears. She has her two hands against the glass of the jar, and looks scared and worried with her mouth slightly open and the eyes wide open. The painting's texture looks mainly oil, but it in reality a digital mixed media piece on an aquarelle paper.

⊱ #Jellyfish Wonderland ⊰ I still remember my favorite #dream as a kid - being a mermaid passing through reefs of corals, colors and creatures swirling around... 😌 To this day the #sea remains so fascinating to me. I hope that, through my #art, I shared some of its wonder with you today.

Yes, might be a good idea. But it all depends of your needs really. I love talking nibs, so thanks!

ColonelCandy @annabellecreates.art · 06/04/2026

Some people might tell you imperial hunts are some of the hardest nibs to work with since they're so soft and flexible. But they're soooo satisfying and honestly, they're really not scary. I hope you'll like yours!

ColonelCandy @annabellecreates.art · 06/04/2026

Ah! Good old microns! Neat! Glass ones are gorgeous and really nice and clean to work with. But personally I find them too big for most of my art and the thickness of the line is extremely constant. Which is nice but not in all cases.

ColonelCandy @annabellecreates.art · 06/04/2026

😊 Was her linework made with a dip pen? If so I would be curious to know your favorite nib for this purpose. Me, I swear by the imperial hunt 101.

My drawing laptop decided to break. So over the last few months I have been testing replacement options. After lots of yelling at styluses, I’m back on a functional device! It was well worth it in the end, because look who it allowed me to create – Murphy! Should I make Murphy T-shirts? #art #oil
