I am really addicted to drawing in my sketchbook again. Especially with #mikron fine liners. I actually feel it really benefitting my animation practice as well! Like I'm much faster and confident lining my characters now after drawing traditionally again! #art #sketchbooktour #lineart #clean

Scavengers Reign- Fan Animation Please let us get a season 2 someday or honestly I'm praying for a movie! This series still inspires so much of my work today from the characters to the world itself.Everything is just stunning and 10 episodes was never enough! @adultswimcentral.com #fanart #animation

We got the #ohuhumarkers and omg they're so satisfying to use 😍 I'm also very excited about the upcoming The Ghost in The Shell movie and want to study the original and the new own as much as I can now 😁 #anime #vintage #sketchbooktour #markers #manga #scifi

I've been drawing in my sketchbook a lot lately since the weather is so nice. I especially love drawing with a fine liner right now, to try and make this cartoony and comic book style. #sketchbook #drawing #art #traditionalart

What if there was an animated tv show with characters from Irish folklore and wildlife, that featured hurling and surfing? 👀 This is another design piece in my own personal project to bring new modern designs to old folklore stories. #folklore #hurling #anime #adultanimation #characterdesign

Poor Simon I'm finally able to watch Fionna and Cake here in Germany and I'm absolutely obsessed. Actually can't believe the creators of Adventure Time always had the ability to make something this perfect 😍 #fanart #fionnandcake #simon

#speedracer I've been thinking about the movie Speed Racer from 2008 a lot lately. I have no idea why, but I've even watched some amazing video essays about the film on YouTube and I'm just a little obsessed. #90sanime #retro #animeart #realism #portrait #art

Bhí athrú tágtha ar na gcuid rón tar éis cúpla céad bliain i tír na nóg. I'm still playing around with this idea of our #irishfolklore where our heroes, kings and queens might come back to the modern day, but altered after so long apart. #ireland #irish #mythos #art #characterdesign #2d

In your 20s watching an objectively terrible movie, based on an IP that you love is the exact same as going to confession. Father tonight I am clearing my sins and watching The Electric State on Netflix 🙌 #christianguilt #churchtrauma

Life Drawing Practice I'm trying to slow down and focus more while I draw. It's actually been really enjoyable. Like it's bringing fun back into my work when I'm not so focused on speed and being productive. #art #lifedrawing

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

I really haven't drawn enough Adventure Time art over the years. The new show #fionnaandcake looks amazing and I love the older version of Finn so I had to try something edgy. #fanart #adventuretime #art #anime #comics #cartoonnetwork #cartoons

What if all life in Tír na nÓg started to look very different after so many years cut off from our reality? Been playing around with these ideas and designs for the past year just have to start drawing everything👀 #baskingshark #irishfolklore #creaturedesign #characterdesign #sharks #art

Dúisigh Suas This was inspired by a recent animation I made of a characters skin tearing open :D Turns out tendrils and goop are really satisfying and easy to draw! #gaeilge #irishartists #digitalart #art #comics #animation

I wish I could say this look and style was planned out, but I really just went with the flow and love the result. I think it's got a kind of robotic sheen look. Reminds me of #cyberpunk or #bladerunner #lifedrawing #nudeart #artist #animator

I actually really tried to roller skate when I lived in Vienna, and while I could eventually not fall down it's so tiring and never looked cool at all. #skating #speedpaint #artprocess #cartoons #animator

Warm Up - Love Only gave myself an hour for this one and I'm very happy with the result. I always love to find an image of people doing normal things in the nude. #love #kissing #lifedrawing #nude #art #artist #animator

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Hunt I'm really happy with how terrifying Hunt looks here. I'll definitely draw him again with Bryce. I also attached all of my greyscale drawings here. It actually is the easiest way to paint your shading and I really regret ignoring it for so long. #fantasy #angels #gods #fanart #artist #character

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Studies I'm currently working on an animation with a female character, but I'm actually far less familiar drawing women. Most life drawing classes I've done were with men, and most of my animations are male characters. So I've gone back to studies to gain confidence #artstudy #art #drawings

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Link - Breath of The Wild I still think about this part of BOTW now and then and it's actually so intense. Like Link lost his entire team, somehow survived, but still had to surrender and disappear. It just deserved a dramatic painting. #nintendo #botw #link #legendofzelda #guardians #fanart

I'm just having a nudey sit by the river in Düsseldorf and reflecting on my first year in Germany. I really love this city, but I am disappointed in the lack of FKK spaces here in the west. When Berlin and the East seems to have so many open nude spaces.

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

I feel like all my favorite artists and animator's are amazing at calisthenics. So since I can muscle up now, could I also have an animation job 🥹 #calisthenics #muscleup #gymartist #fitness #pullups #thiccback

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

I recently finished reading the #crescentcity book series and was so inspired by all of the fantasy characters. I definitely want to make more designs for the full cast but I just had to draw Bryce first. #fantasy #characterdesign #comicart #bookillustation #superpowers #brycequinlan #bryceandhunt

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

I've been drawing some portrait and lighting studies today and just really fell in love with this one. Sometimes that state of flow actually hits just right. I feel like drawing is finally taking me out of a rut again too. #portrait #realism #lighting #artstyle #fashion #blue

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social I've mentioned this podcast so many times as inspiration that I finally had to draw the man himself. This is the second time I painted a piece, but the first just wasn't working. I got lost in the pressure of it. #podcast #blindboy #illustration #starlings #ireland

Just had to scrap a piece that I was working on for over a week. :/ It's never easy, but sometimes you gotta call it!

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Just started a new job this week so haven't found the time for anything big, but I've still been sketching loads. It's insane how drawing just always sorta out my heard. #sketchbreak #sketchbook #lifedrawing #art #handdrawn #ink #inkandpen

Great Surf 🤙 I miss surfing so much! I used to surf all the time in the West of Ireland, but there's no waves at all in Germany 😔 I made this to explore more beach designs and I'm also pretty obsessed with fantasy creatures rn. #mermaid #mer #surfsup #fantasy #artprints #water

Karlach I'm honestly still undecided about my favorite #BG3 character. Karlach is just so cool and fun to have in your party. I think she's actually been in my party the longest by far. She's just our adhd queen <3 #fanart #gameart #bg3fanart #karlach #anime #2danimation #bodybuilder #art

Ever since I watched Scavenger's Reign I've been itching to animate something alien and mechanical. I imagined this as an ancient god and the locals produced this absurd machine to allow the god to walk on land. #walkcycle #animation #folklore #water #crabwalk #machines #fantasy

Kratos #2 Just imagine a God of War animated series in the style of The Legend of Kora. I know the live action show is cancelled but unapologetically want everything animated anyway. #kratos #fanart #animation #animator #anime #cartoons

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 03/08/2025

I am very hungover today, which sucks, but I still finished up this practice piece. I was listening to the @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social podcast and really got into the flow state with this. Two hours just blinked by and I think it produced something cool. #combat #mma #comicbooks #hero #action

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

Warm Up #10 I'd actually love to try and be a model for a life drawing class sometime. Looks intimidating, but also so cool and artsy. Plus just cool to get comfortable being nude. For this piece I focused on perspective and took the colours from a La La Land scene. #lifedrawing #nudeart #art

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

Link I wasn't super happy with the story of Tears of the Kingdom, but dam we were also spoiled with this one. I lost over 200 hours and easily could've played 100 more. It's still one of my favorite game worlds. #legendofzelda #tearsofthekingdom #nintendo #link #skateboarding #gameart

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Bryce Quinlin I'm really obsessed with the Crescent City books right now. It's the perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I had to try a character design for Bryce and I'm definitely going to try more. Obviously Hunt will be next. #crescentcity #fanart #characterdesign #fantasyart #sarahjmaas

Wolverine Decided to try something different to warm up this morning and it was so fun. I just let go and made sure to keep adding whatever I felt this piece needed. I also just love Old man Logan. Probably one of my all time favourites to draw. #xmen #logan #marvel #comics #wolverine #action

Call it my hot take, but I don't think the late shift manager can tell me what to do when I'm on the early shift. No I will not deep clean the kitchen when I'm up since 4am with one hour to go, and you slept in until 10. #serviceindustry #manager #theaudacity

Nathan Rennick @nathanrennick.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Kittens are sleeping on my tablet and of course it's illegal to wake them up, so I just had to draw them instead 🤷 #kittens #adorable #pets #tiny #cats #sketch #draw #catart

Feeling productive and have a 2nd post today! This is a character design for a walk cycle animation. I want to animate a creature and water, so I joined them together! This is a water spirit that has been given a robot machine to walk on land. #characterdesign #animation #walkcycle #fantasy #anime

Posting my latest crush just in time for pride. I never understood why everyone was obsessed with Astarion, but after 20 hours I really saw it. I couldn't decide between a red or a blue background, which do you prefer? #bg3 #fanart #pride #astarionfanart #baldursgate3 #fantasy #dnd

Finally finished the linework for this piece. I'm especially happy with how the waves turned out. It was hard to get the timing right for waves out at sea, but I really love this final result. #animationcleanup #linework #queenmaeve #irishfoklore #fairies #waves #sea #seaart #animator

Had to finally update my avatar for social media and it's so intimidating painting your own portrait. This looks a little less like me but fits my current style and personality much better. Now back to animation and fanart! #portait #digitalpainting #art #curlyhair #bighair #animatorforhire
