quote with horn art! 🐐 I really like this piece 🖤

A dramatic fantasy portrait of a horned figure with warm brown skin and long, dark curly hair, looking back over their bare shoulder. Large, curved ram-like horns frame their head, accented with gold bands and a red ribbon. Gold markings are painted across their face, highlighting their sharp features and steady, intense gaze. A delicate pearl necklace rests at their collarbone, while a rich red cloth drapes loosely around their shoulders. The dark, textured background and soft lighting create a moody, intimate atmosphere.

One of my old favorites. It was originally designed to be a portfolio showpiece for #boardgame art but ended up in an oracle deck as well Drawn digitally in #krita #art #digitalart #BlueSkyArt #illustration

I'm starting a mega reading-a-thon. Reading 15 popular fantasy/romantasy books. Some of these I know I won't like so there will be some skimming but what I'm trying to learn is the common themes and structures. I'll include mini reviews but really, this isn't so much for fun as for understanding.

An older piece from 3 years ago, right when I had transitioned from fully digital to a traditional-digital hybrid approach. It's not as clean and crisp as my newer works but I have a soft spot for this particular OC (her's name's Blue, btw, and she's from the #firefly RPG :) #illustration #artsky

I've been meaning to paint a personal piece featuring a horse for a while now! What is artistic terror for some is one of my favourite subject matters. Blend in sunflowers and fairytale dresses and I'm very happy :) 'Summer's Breeze' watercolour on hot press paper #art #horses

Whimsical watercolour painting of a woman in a flowing dress riding a large black, shiny coated unicorn through a field of stylised sunflowers. The moon sits in the sky behind her as she looks behind her.

When people say that ”things were better back in the day,” I can only assume they're talking about 1983 frog phone

A vintage novelty corded telephone designed to look like a green frog. The phone's receiver resembles a frog's head and body, complete with raised eyes and a smooth, rounded shape. The beige coiled cord is attached and bundled with a rubber band, ending in a clear RJ11 connector. The phone rests on a plain white surface.
