Hey thank you for hosting this #artshare! I'm Cailyn a graduate biology student and artist. I spend most of my time in traditional art with my sketches transferred and redrawn on my tablet. I run a small etsy business and I just want to make things that help people smile!

A stingray bookmark that is drawn with the ocean at the bottom and a swirling line of stingrays swimming up and into the night sky. There is a cresent moon and some clouds and stars in the sky. The book mark is done all in shades of blue and some very dark purple

A photo of my sketchbook with a drawing on a fantasy animal that is mint green with brown accents. The animal has a dinosaurs body with a long tail and a snout with two teeth sticking out. He also has small wings and two brown horns on the top of his head. Some accents and detail make him look like he is sticked together like a teddy bear

A page from my sketchbook of a series of raccoons in different poses. ll are drawn in a cartoon/cute style with a raccoon in the middle sticking his hands up in surprise while others sleep curled up in a ball or are holding their little hands to their faces in surprise. All of the raccoons are done in alcohol marker and pencil crayon in greys, blues and some accents of green

Congrats Oni! And thanks for the art share!

Digital art of a dark elk with glowing white eyes and antlers standing in a foggy grove at night. Bits of plants and vines hang from the antlers, while its back is covered in a softly glowing moss. Glowing white lights trail through the air around the elk. Its breath comes out misty in the cold night.

Digital art of a long serpentine dragon, dark purple, with a coiling body and wings curved around it. The dragon is framed by a gold circle in the background with a dark border that has many small details, crescent and full moons, branch and flower patterns, stars, and curving lines.

Digital art of a black and purple celestial koi fish “swimming” through space. It has 4 sets of fins and many long barbels that glow and fade towards the ends. It has glowing gold eyes and several spots going down the sides, a water drop shaped forehead spot, and a star marking above that.

Digital art of an elk god with glowing blue eyes and antlers roaming through an even bigger forest. Late evening sun shines through the giant trees, rays of light breaking from behind the elk. Down below on ground, putting the size more into perspective, is a normal family of deer, tiny in comparison to everything around them.
