It's late but it's #StillGoodSaturday! Snow Ambrosine, an elf in a modern-day fantasy setting, from my story 'Cog in the Machine'. She's some 300 years old, so drawing her in an 1880s dress is basically canon. This dress came from a Met Museum costume-a-day planner I had. Drawn 2014.
A dark-skinned elven woman with white hair stands in a snowy field wearing an ice-blue and cream coloured 1880s bustle dress with feathered trim. Her eyes are closed peacefully and her left hand is raised to catch a snowflake.

Going to hijack the #StillGoodSaturday tag on Sunday to go into more detail. This is the 2005 original image, the 2016 redraw, and the reference I used for both (Linda Watson's "20th Century Fashion", pg. 31) A combo of seeing details better and more skill makes the 2016 dress closer to the original

I'm getting tired of thinking "am I even an artist?" because I have no energy to draw, so have a thing I made up called #StillGoodSaturday, where I post old art I still like. Since my current WIP is an unhinged new take on my very first story, have this: Annabelle, a ghost. Drawn in 2009.
An image in cool grey-blue tones of a redheaded woman staring sombrely at the camera. She wears a blue 1860s day gown with her hands clasped in front of her. Peeking out from behind her lace collar is a neck injury (the cause of her death - she's a ghost)

Another #StillGoodSaturday, from August 2017. Diana Wu from my story 'Heart of Steel', and her brother, @erin-hime.bsky.social's John Wu from her story 'Waiting for Superman'. I don't do cel shading very much, but this was an early attempt at trying.
A woman with undercut hair dyed green and wearing a grungy olive tank top and shorts, stands at the base of a staircase, one arm leaning on the railing. One step up, a man with glasses and shaggy brown-black hair leans his hips against the railing. He has a camera bag slung around his shoulders and he holds on to the strap. In the background are a set of stairs decorated in brown tile leadin up to a yellow-brick building. A patinaed bronze plaque on the right-hand side, partially cut off by the image edge, reads 'The New Lonsdale Gazette' in Gothic font, with a smaller 'Est. 189-' beneath it (the last digit is cut off from view).

*banging pots and pans* Come get your #StillGoodSaturday! These two are @anijel.bsky.social's Danelle (brunette) and...I can't remember the blonde's name. They're from an old story of hers and I thought the contrast of cute art with their jobs as bartenders was funny. Drawn in February 2014.
Bright, graphic style loosely drawn lie Pixar concept art, of a blond woman in a short pink dress sitting on a bar counter holding a martini glass as she talks to a short-haired brunette in a black crop top, who is the bartenders washing the martini glasses. The bar counter is shiny and behind them is purple lighting and shelves of liquor bottles.

Once again, it's #StillGoodSaturday. A faux-comic cover for Ultro, the superhero from @erin-hime.bsky.social's story 'Waiting for Superman'. It was meant to be a take on Superman comics, especially since Ultro is supposed to hit a similar 'all-around good guy' niche. Drawn for her birthday in 2016.

The gossamer muslin used to create early c19th gowns was sometimes described as ‘woven wind’, an amazing description for the lightweight fabric. Here it has been embroidered with wool and I can only imagine the challenges that came with such stitching. C1815 #NGVMelbourne #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I've been doing chores all day and nearly forgot it was #StillGoodSaturday 🥲 Anyway, I'm not sure if this design is still accurate, but this art of @erin-hime.bsky.social's Princess Aerona from her story 'Earthia' is one I still really like. Originally drawn 2016 (a redraw of a piece from 2005!)

Telling the Pope he can't talk about AI because he's not an "artist" like you is so fucking funny. You're not an AI artist, you didn't art anything. You serially commission visual files from a chatbot. You're like the dumbest Pope Julius III working with the worst fake Michelangelo there is.

In this same vein, enjoy this redraw of Cesario, originally a ghost from c. 1810 that I named after the character in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night* (drawn 2003). I leaned into the 'inaccurate' elements since he's now more of a fantastical being. Not fully satisfied and needs some tweaks, but not bad.
