Finally got around to editing this older piece of mine. A bit different from my current work but remains one of my favorites. #alinastarkov #shadowandbone

A colored sketch-study featuring my dnd character - Mevo - a woman with pale skin, a tattoo going from her chin to her neck and shoulders, wild long black curly hair with cutesy curly bangs, sitting on a bathtub, wearing a white dress. She has a big scar on her upper arm and fully while pupils & irises

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.

"You're killing him. You're killing him. This is because of you." - @senlinyu.bsky.social Their dynamic is still so fascinating and I still cling on to the idea that Helena is the orchestrator of Kaine's existence, eroding him slowly to her own devices. #alchemised #kaineferron #helenamarino

I loved episode 5 so much I really couldn’t resist a character portrait. There was something about the falling snow and breaking down of barriers that really resonated with me. ❄️🥹 #heatedrivalry #ilyarozanov

“Luna’s Grace.” Initially, I was inspired by Alchemised for this piece, but eventually it morphed into something wholly my own. I now cling on to this piece as it embodies so much of what I want to tell in my art as an artist, emotions ranging from longing and melancholy to hope and serenity.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Any guesses to who it is 🫢 I am living off of crumbs - I read the Cosmopolitan article with @senlinyu.bsky.social yesterday and it had a little treat. I did want to color in her dress but I also couldn't decide on a poison green shade and lost that battle. #alchemised

“Her eyes were dead. There was no fire in them.” A quick sketch just to pour more love into Alchemised. @senlinyu.bsky.social recently took pity on me and allowed me to capture Helena with more accuracy. I usually don’t post my digital sketches but I was quite happy with this one. #alchemised
