🔥 THE STORY BEHIND THE ART: Raised to Behave/Running on Rage This one came from anger. Anger at the way women have been controlled, silenced, diminished and punished throughout history and at how many echoes of that still exist today. #FeminineRage #Witchcore #IndependentArtist #WearableArt

🎃 THE STORY BEHIND THE ART: Meet me at the Pumpkin Patch This one started with a family trip to a pumpkin patch last autumn and me becoming slightly obsessed with how wonderfully wonky pumpkins are. #LoralaiLake #IndependentArtist #Illustration #WearableArt #PumpkinArt

With the build up the Christmas time fast approaching I thought I’d share that my commissions are open! You’ll notice my prices have adjusted a wee bit, it took several comments from you fine folks for me to realise it was unrealistic to charge what I was charging. #comissionsareopen

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast

digital fan art of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, at Jester and Fjord's wedding, sitting on a bench and kissing.
Essek is a young-looking slender dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is artfully curled and pinned back. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his early forties, with auburn chin-length wavy hair and a full beard.
they are both dressed in formal clothing, cream and light pink to match the colors Jester had picked for her wedding. Essek is wearing a silk shirt with bishop sleeves and a straight neckline that exposes his neck and a wide pearl choker; he also has slacks on, short enough to reveal his boots with metal toe-tips, as well as a coat made of thick matte fabric, with wide geometric shoulders and layered hanging sleeves. it is caught at the waist with a wide sash, the coat's two floral frog closures open. Caleb is dressed in form-fitting pants tucked into white boots, a leather strap around one of his thighs. he has a long-sleeved shirt on under a light pink sleeveless coat made of delicate floral brocade. there is a large white flower tucked behind his ear. both of them are wearing a bit of make-up: Essek has white lipstick on his bottom lip, and Caleb's eyes are accentuated with fiery red eyeshadow.
they are sitting on a bench outside, leaning into each other, Essek placing a kiss on the corner of Caleb's mouth. Essek's left hand is guiding Caleb's chin towards him with a delicate finger, while his right is resting in Caleb's left. there is a flowering branch above them, soft pink petals lying on the white cobbled stones beneath their feet. the ocean is visible behind them, the setting sun shining right behind the couple's heads, illuminating them in warm orange glow.

Random creepy writer fact: Mary Shelley kept a portion of her husband's heart wrapped in one of his poems in her desk drawer. For the author of Frankenstein, keeping body parts in her desk is very on brand.

Video flick through of that comic I wrote when I was 16! If I wrote a letter to my 16yo self I would say: don’t stop drawing because one day there will be a platform where you can share your art for free! You probably won’t make any money but at least it would be out there! #artist #comicbook

This is the front cover for a comic I’ve since come to abandon in favour of a story steeped in Slavic mythology (and nuns!) I recently read somewhere that unfinished projects are never a waste, simply a stepping stone to a more developed idea. #webcomic #mythologylover #artistlife #unfinished

So I came across this part-finished comic book I drew on paper using pencils (not a tablet in sight!) when I was about 17-18yo. It was a sequel to H. G Well’s Invisible Man because I was obsessed with that book at the time. #horrorcomics #teenageart #pencilandpaper #blueskycreative #firsttry
