finished a commission of my friend's first DnD character! kinda had to push through a lot of art block, and swung wildly between "it's so over" and "we're so back" but I'm pretty happy with where it came out! #art #digitalart #procreate #charcoal #myart #artsky #dnd

A digital-charcoal drawing of a male goliath Paladin, standing imposingly with his hammer and shield. He's wearing plate armor with worn paladin cloth, and his shield bears the symbol of his goddess Mora - a skull where one half is obsidian and the other is gold. Strong resting bitch face.

smattering of sketches and studies. dip pens and fountain pens - trying to stick to stuff that requires a light touch to retrain my hand. #art #traditionalart #sketching #doodles #myart #drawing #illustration #pen #ink #cat

Dip pen sketch in dark green ink of a cat sitting on its haunches with front paws down

tamalpais watercolor on cheapo 9x12 cold press really pleased with how this came out for being pretty unplanned, but I think it might be worth some considered iterations. #art #artsky #myart #watercolor #traditionalart #painting #figureart #abstract #abstractart

abstract splotchy watercolor with forest greens, low vibrance purples, some pinks and dark blues, possibly in the shape of mountains or two people.

Heartseed, 9x12, gouache and watercolor on hot press plus three bonus versions! I painted the foreground (gouache) and background (watercolor) on two different sheets then composited them, found some cool layering #art #traditionalart #myart #artsky #painting #gouache #watercolor #digitalart

In gouache: a pink lotus blooms from a heart, which has buds and is split open like a seed, with roots growing around it

In watercolor: a swirling background of muted blued

Thanks for the share!! I'm Ash, and I'm honestly still trying to figure out where my style and focus will land - but I definitely tend to human/organic forms and some abstraction.

realized I needed a white pen to go with toned paper and ink. now I need bigger ones. #art #traditionalart #sketching #doodles #myart #drawing #illustration #pen #ink #artsky

Waterfowl I finally finished the other big WIP! it took forever, and I don't think this captures what the initial vibe was, but I think it's good in its own right. and I learned a ton! #art #artsky #myart #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #illustration #drawing #darkart

A lighter-skinned woman with long dark hair is pulling open her chest with a shocked expression. It's not gorey, though there are a few cracked ribs, but inside she sees another light-skinned woman, with shoulder length brown hair, reaching out in panic. She is bound by kelp and the background looks like deep swirling water.

Dripping blues and greens swirl around an unpainted circular area, buffered by yellows and reds reaching up from the bottom middle of the page

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

One of my big WIPs is done! Was very excited to work on this and I'm fairly happy with how it came out, for where I am! #art #artsky #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #myart #drawing #illustration #darkart

A hand reaches out of a pile of ash. Three of its fingers are bone. There is a bright California poppy growing out of the base of the palm. Thistle grows from the ashes. The poppy is in full color and the rest of the image desaturates as you look further away.

powered this out on a plane. 2hr45m, which for me rn is probably a speed paint! it's not remotely how it looked when it popped into my head trying to sleep last night, but so it goes. still pretty happy with it, esp for time spent! #art #artsky #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #myart #fantasy

A 3/4 view bust of a skeleton in front of a flame colored swirling background. It's wearing a blue veil/drapery with golden yellow trim, and a silver crown with thin upright rounded prongs. There is a greenish gray stone halo vertical behind its head.

I haven't had much to post because I've been plugging away trying to figure out digital painting with two bigger pieces, but here's a study from last night! #art #artsky #digitalart #painting #study #lighting #myart

My first commission! Completed in March, the scope grew quite a bit from the original idea and it challenged me in a whole bunch of new ways. #art #myart #artsky #digitalart #drawing #charcoal #illustration #sci-fi #warhammer40k #spacemarines #commission #moody #grimdark

I know I do myself no favors posting at 4am, but I'm considering opening one or two slots for commissions soon and decided I needed a good holotype specimen for what I'd offer. Why not my DND character?

A full body character image of a man with long, flame-like hair, standing with one arm in flourish with a one-armed capelet, as a bullfighter drawing back their cape. This capelet is shaped like a wing with splayed feathers, and is colored in red, orange, and gold. Behind his back is a saber wreathed in flames. His skin is marked with ember like freckles and shining glyphs.

The prior image has been cropped to show more detail of the man's face; including long elf like ears, a censor amulet hanging over his chest, and the gnarled golden gauntlet on his right hand.

I'm having trouble believing how much better these sketches look in some frames from Michael's. Imposter syndrome doesn't know how to deal with impressions of legitimacy! #art #traditionalart #sketching #doodles #myart #drawing #illustration #ballpoint #graphite

Table paper doodles from dinner last night. The cat didn't photo well, the blending was surprisingly good. No I wasn't dining with Patrick Stewart #art #traditionalart #sketching #doodles #myart
