Some favourites:

Line art of my OC Mel in three different outfits: overalls and a sweater, tanktop and shorts with a big sunhat, coat and jeans with knee-high boots.

Portrait of my OC Wanda, an older person with short wispy hair. Character description as follows:

Wanda
Full of fun and good humour, Wanda is the apothecary of Riverside. Though rather dreamy and easily distracted, xe is a master potion-maker with a knack for concocting experimental brews, for which xe is always in need of willing test subjects. The locals are already wise to xer requests, but a newcomer might not be so lucky if taken unawares…

Hair: White
Skin: Pale
Eyes: Green

Portrait of my OC Captain Elliott, a middle aged man with short hair and four parallel scars across his face. Character description as follows:

Captain Elliot
After a legendary battle ten years ago won him many honours, Captain Elliot’s subsequent rise up the ranks was swift and uncontested, when it took most knights nearly twice as long to attain such an illustrious position. Many expected him to switch to the ranger division after his heroic
deeds, but to everyone’s surprise (and perhaps disappointment), he remained with the postal division. He is a reliable mentor and a steadfast presence, and many young knights look up to him.

Hair: Black
Skin: Tan
Eyes: Dark brown

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

The cat's jumping at shadows again!" The second one shows a cat sitting in front of a ghost occupying its bed; a speech bubble says, "Why don't you ever use the cat bed I got you?" The next one shows a black cat face down on the ground covering its eyes in fear while a ghost looms over it; a speech bubble reads, "Scaredy cat!" The last one shows a cat attacking a ghost; a speech bubble reads, "What's gotten into you today?"

Bookish posters 📚

Illustration of an apricot branch surrounded by swirls of apricot brandy. There's hand-drawn text around the illustration reading "I have never been wise."

Poster of a star chart titled Lsel System, done in white on a grey background. It shows a path from the centre to a point between 150° and 165° on the chart. Text reads as follows: The PARZRAWANTLAK SECTOR, well-known for its rich mining deposits, was first illumined by the EMPEROR TWELVE SOLAR-FLARE, she who was a radiant blaze flooding all of the void. Carrying a population of roughly 30,000, LSEL STATION is the largest of a string of ten mining stations scattered through this small but valuable sector of space. While their government maintains cordial relations with the TEIXCALAANLI EMPIRE, the LSEL SYSTEM currently remains an independent body. The ANHAMEMAT GATE, beyond which the WORLD has not yet shined its brilliance, is also located in this sector

Dialogue that lives in my head rent free #OCs

Comic panel of two characters, a sorcerer and an orator, sitting on armchairs facing each other. The sorcerer, asks the other, 'Can you tell me what your relationship with Their Majesty is?'

Three panels of the orator talking with an animated expression. He says, 'I'm Their Majesty's right hand arm. Man. I'm Their Majesty's everything. I'm their confidant. Their best friend... Their silly rabbit.' The last sentence is in a dialogue bubble shaped like the playboy bunny.

A panel of the sorcerer, bewildered, who exclaims, 'Their WHAT?'

Two panels of the characters talking. The orator says, 'Their silly rabbit.'
'Their silly rabbit?' the sorcerer replies.
'Yes.'
'Is that what they call you?'
'No. ❤️'

Ok today y'all are having my favourite painting, Directions For A Kiss, which is also the one I spent like 5 months doing studies for.

Painting of a man on horseback leaning down to kiss a shepherd, who is holding a lamb in their arms. There are two sheep in the foreground. In the background, an overjoyed sheepdog is bounding towards the shepherd and the traveller. The background is a yellow grassland with a forest and mountains in the far distance. The sky is bright blue with soft clouds.
