Spooky season is upon us! Usually I have a weekly illustration series in mind for October, vaguely Inktober inspired but working on my own stuff. This year it slipped my mind so I’m just doing whatever 😅 Hoothoot is one of favs! 😍 #Hoothoot #pokemon #inkotber #drawtober #art

Illustration of a dark forest at dusk. Within the woods, several Hoothoot are perched, their red eyes staring ominously at the viewer

A series of illustrations I drew of Wren for an art trend reel, showing her progress in from childhood to adulthood 🥺 These were really fun to make! #oc #ocsky #LightoftheLastWorld #darkfantasy #art

Wren is a child, roughly six to eight years old. She has short white hair that extends down to her neck, just above her shoulders. She has blue eyes and sports a wide smile. She is wearing a maroon and cream dress with brass clasps. She is waving her hand.

Wren is now in her late teens. Her hair is far longer and pulled into a loose braid. Her nose has a slight bump in it. She is wearing a maroon tunic dress over a charcoal undershirt. She is clutching a broken sword made of a white, sooty metal. The jagged tip is soaked in blood. She has tears in her eyes and is covered in dirt and blood. Her expression is one of anguish.

Adult Wren has returned to wearing shorter hair in a messy bob. She has a fierce expression on her face as she strides towards the viewer. Dirt and blood lightly stain her face, with tears carving a path down her cheeks. She is wearing dark leather armour and a metal gorget around her neck.

Redrew something to help with an art slump 🎂 A Beholder’s Birthday! #dnd #redraw #beholder 2026 Vs. 2019

A purple skinned Beholder floats in a dark room. Beneath it is a birthday cake with pink icing and jam. A single candle illuminates the scene. The Beholder is staring at it with its large central eye and many of its eye stalks with a look of glee. He sports a massive grin revealing crooked and sharp teeth. Atop his head is a pink and yellow striped party hat.

Small illustration from 2019 of a purple skinned beholder wearing a party hat. It’s many eye stalls stare off in random directions.

A simple sword for Swordtember. I don’t usually take part, but I’m working in a project involving a sword so it seemed appropriate! #swordtmeber #spooky #swordtember2026 #art

A two pronged sword has been stabbed into the ground. Ghostly arms reach out to grasp it. In the distance, a large crowd of spectral figures watches.

Love Sigma, even though I don’t play him so much anymore. Drawing this did remind me why I haven’t drawn much OW fanart 😅 All those mechanical details 😢 #Overwatch #Sigma #artsky #fanart

Illustration of Sigma from Overwatch. He sits on a chair made of floating rocks, in a pose similar to that of man in The Creation of Adam. He is reaching out to touch a singularity.

For how much I play Overwatch, I rarely draw fan art of it 😅 Recently I’ve been drawing my mains, starting with the tanks! Imo, Domina is probably the best designed hero they’ve released this year and she is super fun. Apparently today is also her Birthday! #Overwatch #Domina #Chibi #artsky

Chibi illustration of Domina from Overwatch. She is using her mechanical arms as a chair to sit on. One of the arms is pouring her a glass of champagne while she looks down at you with a smug smirk.

Congratulations on reaching 900! So so close to that 1K, you can taste it! 💕 I offer my old character Ragnar who I played for a good 5 years before his campaign concluded ⚡️

# Ragnar Progression 2025

Progression illustration of a D&D character from level 4 to level 15. Ragnar Gundersen began as a Champion Fighter, multiclassed into Monster Slayer Ranger, and finally switched to the Rune Knight fighter subclass.

Ragnar is an older man with thin, grey hair and tired blue eyes. He has a thick beard and a thin scar that cuts down his face and into the beard. He wears chainmail under blue cold weather clothing and leathers. In his hands are a long sword and wooden kite shield. A fluffy grey and black cat named Smudge walks beside him.

By level 9, Ragnar has upgraded his armour to a grey breastplate. Around his neck is a silver pentagram and a scratched, gold coin. In his hand he wields a hammer with a head of ice. Within that ice is a violent lightning storm that gives off a blue glow. On his shoulder, stand Smudge, who has been turned into a Tressym via a set of wings.

At level 15, Ragnar has geared up for war. He wears a set of full plate armour made from a white metal and adorned with a lightning design motif with blue trim. He is a full foot taller due to his Rune Knight subclass. His hammer is larger and glows green. In his other hand is a shield made of white dragon scales.

Ai really sucks!! ✨ Share a masterpiece you made! ✨

A stone canal bridges over a small, but deep river. The canal is partially illuminated by magical lamps, though many are broken. Upon the river is a small boat, with a large, clay golem ferrying it. Golden, metal roots twist around its limbs. At its core is a cage of a similar metal and design, within which is a luminous glow. Its eyes glow too.

The ferry’s lone passenger is the Sun Knight, who leans over the side to look at the river below. His head flows a brilliant orange.

In the river below, another clay golems lays partially submerged, rendered an empty just after the passage of time. Golden metal roots twist out of the river’s high banks and the dead golem itself.
