Making up constellations 💫 #art #oc

A flat color illustration in a circle of my two characters cuddled into a large coat. Molly (blonde) is pointing up at the stars and smiling, her breath is visible to indicate that it’s cold. Arden (ginger) is resting her head on Molly‘s shoulder and is smiling softly.

GREAT read on how to self-publish the niche queer comic/writing anthology of your dreams. finding your people, editing and curating submissions, dealing with marketing and censorship, being real and kind. genuinely: this is the kind of attitude and work that will keep interesting art alive.

HELLO BSKY NATION. Arden and Molly got divorced in Tomodachi Life. They're back to sweethearts after an endless battle, but the Ex-Wife label has some allure, hm? #art #oc

A sketch of Molly lounging on a bed, high heels kicked off on the mattress. She's wearing a halter neck dress and would be topless if it wasn't for artful (!) coverage.

Arden, seemingly reacting to the previous image. She's wearing a suit and blushing. A low-opacity thought bubble behind her reads "I LOVE MY (ex-) WIFE"

Digital illustration made to look like a risograph print. It depicts 2 men, dancing together while looking at each other with a certain intensity. Their respective green and pink palettes contrast and complement each other perfectly.

Digital illustration made to look like a risograph print. It depicts 2 women, similar in appearance: light brown skin, brown hair, freckles. They are holding hands in a helping gesture, and seen from a low angle, as though the camera were positioned on the floor between them. The sun can be seen, barely hidden under their hands, shining light from above. From this angle, the 2 women seem to mirror each other, as they look into each other's eyes like one would look at their own reflection.

Digital painting, made to look like a risograph print. It depicts a monstrous creature, like if a human had started to mutate, their flesh opening up and reshaping itself. The skin on their skull is peeling itself off and taking on the shape of a horrible crown of fingers around their head, and their torso is opening up like a fissure in the earth, a strange black liquid floating up from the open wounds in an eerie way. The creature is shown getting close to the painting's frame, one hand wrapped around the edge of it, as if about to leap out and into the real world.

Digital drawing made to look like a risograph print. It depicts an angel, a humanoid figure with dark skin and long white hair, turning their back to the viewer. They have 2 pairs of blue, transparent wings, but one pair is in the process of being sewn together with a curved needle.

MUSE - Introduction 🎨 Part of a comic I made for a zine I'm working on! Screentones and I are fighting. (I am not winning) #art #oc #comic

The comic opens on a hand painting a portrait. It then shows Molly, the painter, scrutinizing her work before looking past the canvas at Arden, who is reading. Molly's dialogue reads: "Uh... Could you... Tilt your head up some?"

Arden seems offended by this: "I don't think how I sit is your business. What are you doing, anyways?"
Molly:"I'm painting you!"
Arden, now surprised and blushing slightly:"Oh!"

Arden, now curious: "Can I see?"
Molly is flustered and covers up her work with her arm.
"HA!! Nonono, it's not ready yet!!"
Arden: "Hm, alright."
Molly walks away from her canvas and bends down. "But! There is something I can show you..."

Molly takes out a sketchbook and dances over to Arden's table. "If you want. I... usually don't show it, but... Feels unfair to keep it from you when... It's mostly you!"
She flips it open to reveal a spread of sketches, all of Arden.

This topic has kind of been eating at me for a few months, so I decided to sit down and talk about it to no one in particular. Bit awkward, but re-filming over and over would kind of defeat the point. Enjoy! youtu.be/X13Zac6_RB8

💫ANGEL/DEMON REDESIGN COMMS💫 Give me your OC and i'll make them into a bug-themed angel or demon! Grab a slot here: ko-fi.com/hamletisinto... (OC belongs to @rukachorus.itch.io )

Digital painting of an angel. They look like a butterfly, but its thorax and head are the bust of a human, armored arms crossed in the front like a sarcophagus, and face hidden under a helmet. The forewings are mostly white, with just a corner painted red, the color dripping, almost as if it's been dipped in blood. The hindwings look translucent, with blood-red veins, and they are separated from the body, as if falling off like petals from a flower.

Digital drawing. A character reference for Ruka's OC, Cassiel, an angel clad in white and gold armor, their face hidden under a faceplate.

🎆🎆🎆 #art #oc I had to color this illustration twice because the lighting did NOT want to work out initially. But we persevere!!

Oc illustration of two women standing on a ledge. The sky is illuminated by fireworks and lit yellow from below. The character on the left is wearing a blue dress, and a ribbon from it is being swept towards the other character by the wind. The second character is wearing a suit and is looking to the left. The atmosphere is romantic

🌹🌹 #art #oc

A minimally colored red and cream white illustration in the style of old fashion magazines. Two women are depicted in red dresses which both resemble roses. One is a long shoulderless gown with a sculpted top to look like rose petals, one is a short dress with a skirt that also flares out to resemble petals

An illustration with a blue background. A character is walking and facing away from the viewer, showing a large heart-shaped cutout in the back of the suit jacket she is wearing. A flattened rose is on the ground, seeming to have been dropped from the character's hand.

There's no pain like realising that you can do much better in much less time on an illustration that's already DONE... Back to the literal drawing board.

A cropped illustration of my oc Molly looking off to the side in a dark scene where her face is lit from a light source underneath.

The same lineart and lights, but with updated shading that are more saturated and convey more depth.

🐟 Fish market #art #oc #illustration

An illustrated market scene with ice-filled crates of different sea creatures, marked to be for sale by signs with red writing on it. In the background, there are two ships docked at a harbour. In the foreground, a blonde woman is looking at what seems to be a severed mermaid-like creature's tail while holding another woman's hand, who has gill-like scars on her neck and is looking at the scene critically.
