*Sniffs the Flonase mist* Beautiful watercolor and adore the name you gave it

This painting had me falling in love with Daniel Smith's Amethyst Genuine purple watercolor paint. The slight sparkle in the paint is beautiful! #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #landscapeart #originalart #painting #watercolor #watercolour

A friend of mine was talking about Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn, and so this happened. I used Dr. Ph. Martin's black star India ink on Sennelier cold pressed paper. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #ink #originalart #fantasyart #fantasyartist

Two ravens are in the foreground. In the background, stylized tree limbs, wisps of smoke, and a moon are visible.

This was an experiment. I was trying out watercolor pencils with ink, and I found them a bit frustrating. I need to work with them more. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #ink #originalart #watercolor #watercolour

I picked up Derwent Watersoluble Sketching Pencils and a new sketchbook a little while ago. This was my first time using them. There was a bit of a learning curve for me to get over, but it was fun! #art #artist #artistonbluesky #fantasyartist #graphite #gouache #originalart #traditionalart

This is a graphite and gouache drawing/painting of a stylized moon and clouds.

I enjoy painting trees, so here's another one. - Ink and watercolor on cold-pressed paper #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #fantasyartist #ink #inkart #originalart #traditionalart #watercolor

This is an ink and watercolor painting of a tree inspired by the balete trees in the Philippines. The long aerial roots of the tree anchor it to the rocks on the lower left corner, and a gold shimmer has been added to the green leaves to help reveal the mysterious character of the tree.

This is a zoomed-in view of the ink and watercolor tree painting. It is at an angle so the shimmer of the gold paint can be viewed.

A square image divided into 9. There's a selfie of me in the middle, I'm stood in front of a poster. The 8 squares around me are different illustrations I drew in 2024.

An illustration of my eladrin elf oath-of-the-crown paladin Alder. He has light green skin, and wears a laurel wreath. He has a distinguished moustache and goatee. He has pale green top surgery scars and looks down.

An illustration based on the painting called The Conversion of the Duke of Gandía by José Moreno Carbonero. It depicts two knights: one green skinned and haired, wearing a dark blue cloak embellished with gold details. The other is wearing a silvered suit of armour with golden patterns, detailed with stair motifs. The green knight holds the armoured knight close to him, his head resting on the other's shoulder. The armoured knight looks down with a stoic look.

Yesterday I had someone ask about finding good artists (who don't use AI) to design book covers. Since I make my own, I didn't have a good answer. So... Cover artists: Post below to help authors find you. Authors: Have a great cover artist? Shout them out! Everyone else: repost and boost.

Thank you! What do you think of the Opaque White? I've been using white gouache with my watercolors, but having another option for white would be wonderful.

I think Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay blue is a really pretty color, and it's what I used to make this eye. I wonder if the other India ink colors are as wonderful and vibrant. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #ink #inkart #originalart #traditionalart

I painted this watercolor a while ago. Creating the stylized wispy smoke was a bit like meditation, and I had gotten lost in it. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #fantasyartist #landscapeart #originalart #traditionalart #watercolor

Yes! This happened to me once, but it was almost like giving birth to a painting = difficult and demanding and took forever. But, my friend's dog died, and I couldn't find words to help her. So, this happened...

Here is a little thing I've been working on. I don't work with ink often, but I practice with it occasionally hoping to get better. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #ink #inkart #landscapeart #originalart #traditionalart

The person who I made this painting for, Emma, titled the painting "Imago". It is named "...after the final stage of an insect's (such as a butterfly's) life cycle after metamorphosis." #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #landscapeart #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ+ #originalart #traditionalart #Watercolor

It's been so grey and cold and rainy here lately. I would love for it to snow - soft, sun-reflecting fluffiness. This watercolor and ink painting feels appropriate for today. #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #ink #inkart #nature #painting #skyart #traditionalart #watercolor

Living in society can be chaotic, stressful, and maddening at times. I might prefer to live on the fringes, in an ancient mossy dark forest, like a feared elder fae instead. Life goals 🌿 #art #painting #watercolor #ink #fantasyart #nature #fae #lifegoals

A baker lived his entire life by the rules until tragedy destroyed him. When his bakery caught fire, he lost the love of his life, his cat, Bunny. It was negligence, and the NPC could not forgive himself. He turned to bathtub moonshine. Sensing his impending self-destruction, a demon is luring him.

Dark roast coffee with Koloa Kaua'i Dark rum (the rum has a wonderful vanilla flavor) add sugar and/or cream to taste. Plus, Old Fashioned (2 oz. whisky [Dewar's is tasty], 0.25 oz rich demerara syrup, 3 to 4 dashes Angostura bitters, and a small slice of orange for garnish, and serve with ice)

I use a Max Factory Figma Archetype Next poseable figure. I bought it on Amazon years ago. For example, here's the poseable figure and what I used it as a reference for.
