Fellas, is it gay to take an oath of undying love and loyalty to your king, to be allowed in his private quarters and also his private parts-- Swords & Lovers ⚔️🌹 I enjoyed making this and I hope to turn it into a series 👀 [ #fidiocs ; #ocsky ; #romantasyau ] www.patreon.com/cw/fidisart

A courtly love scene between a blonde knight and a dark haired king. They stand in the middle of a rose garden and are framed by a deco floral motif. The knight is wearing a dusty blue damask doublet with gold buttons and a belt on top of a simple white shirt with rolled up sleeve. He's shielding the king with his rapier and holding him firmly by the waist. The king wears a ruffled satin shirt and gold pants and is also holding the knight closer. You can feel the sun on your skin and smell of roses and morning due.

This is why I've always disagreed with the idea that "art" is purely subjectively defined. Art is a communication. The listener/viewer completes that communication in recieving it, but it is the intentionality of the creator that makes it art. "AI music" is no more music than traffic noise is.

I had the utmost pleasure of painting the cover illustration of @marianavcoelho.bsky.social 's debut novel 'Truthteller' for Transworld/Penguin Random House UK! ⚖️ Out March 2027!

Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira for the book 'Truthteller' by Mariana V. Coelho, featuring a woman with a golden headpiece that covers her eyes and fans out behind her head like rays. She is wearing a red and elaborate outfit with multiple layers and gold embroidery with gemstones. She is holding a scale in each of her hands, while the scales' chains wrap around her hands and forearms and go up towards the sky. Some of the chains are breaking, one of the scales is tipping down and gold liquid is running down.

Valerian Kane and Cat Rose from the historical pirate romance "Tempest". They're about 20 and both very good-looking. They're standing inside a ramshackle tavern and looking at each other with romantic tension.

Die drei Hexen genießen den Althexensommer bei Tee und Keksen ☀️🍁. Ich wollte schon ewig ein neues Hexenbild zeichnen und jetzt saß ich viel länger an der Illu als geplant, aber ich liebe Abendstimmungen auch so sehr, konnte mich nicht losreißen 😅.

Comic Illustration: Drei Hexen sitzen zusammen auf einer Picknickdecke auf einem Hügel, alle haben sich jeweils in eine Decke eingekuschelt. Zwei Hexen reden miteinander, die dritte Hexe isst einen Keks. Vor ihnen steht eine Keksdose und Teetassen, eine große Teekanne und eine Teetasse schweben magisch in der Luft. Es ist Abend, der Himmel färbt sich orange/rosa, die Szene wirkt sehr gemütlich und friedlich. Im Hintergrund sind ein paar kleine Hügel zu sehen. Die Hexen sind bunt gekleidet in violett, Orange und grün, auch ihre Kuscheldecken sind bunt und teilweise gemustert.

I'm so happy and proud of this piece. It was challenging, but I LOVED painting it SO much!

I've been seized with an urge to draw barnacle geese after seeing The Wild Robot (which I enjoyed very much), and remembered that I drew this in 2014 after seeing a documentary about how barnacle goslings have to simply hurl themselves off their cliff nests to join their parents at ground level.

Single-panel comic drawn in black ink of a pair of barnacle goose parents at the bottom of a cliff, regarding their dazed and confused gosling, who looks up at them with a plaintive 'why??'

Well, this ended up more of an experiment with media than anything else, but to be fair, that was what I intended when I started. I don't know how I feel about the finished result as a whole, but I like a lot of the textures, and I learned a little more about what works for me and what doesn't.

A watercolor and ink painting of a barn owl with starry patterning on its neck and down the center of its face. The owl sits nestled in a dead tree, looking directly at the viewer. Five other larger star designs are positioned around the owl and its tree.

The one on the left is dark haired and wearing a badly fitted formal attire, is holding a gold pocket watch towards the hand of the man on the right, who is blond and is wearing a poncho with a quiver full of arrows on his back while holding a bow. There are gears and airships amidst the strange fog.

Dear artists, You NEED to keep in contact with your commissioners. That's right, all of them. If they paid you money, you MUST communicate with them and tell them what's going on. You cannot just ghost someone for months and months after promising a quick turnaround and expect them to be happy!

🐕 welcome home

Illustration showing a scene of two of my original characters, Connor & Boris, coming in through the main door to a totally sacked living room. Torn jackets, broken pots, ravaged pillows and plushies, a fallen chess table and a broken chair, just to name a few of the apparent crimes.
The mess is likely caused by Connor's two doberman dogs, Luka & Pepper, whose mouths are full of plushie stuffing as they look up at their new audience.
Connor seems quietly miffed, while Boris burst into laughter.
Despite the turmoil, the athmosphere is warm and homey.

Description:
My family dog recently passed away and this idea that I had had in my drafts for a few weeks suddenly felt very appropriate to pick up. I would like to note that this is pretty unrealistic cause Luka and Pepper are service dogs and would not at all do this but.... yknow..... maybe Boris has been scheming with them?? Like the buttwipe he is. Afterall, if it doesn't make sense, blame druid magic LMAO.
I also had the sadder idea of, since the shade of the outside they come from is this bright nothingness that I've often used in art related to either character's passing - that this scene could be a delusional, faux memory Boris' brain conjures up when he succumbs to the grief of losing Connor... mm :(
Either way, I love the pedestrian moments between these characters that are otherwise so stuff full of DRAMA. I love seeing Connor miffed. I love seeing Boris laugh....
