I haven’t shared any progress on this in a while, but I spent 6 hours today adding tiny stars bc I’m obsessive and if something was slightly off I’d wipe it off and repaint it lol. #wip #fantasyart #darkfantasy #oilpainting

Just a doodle of a branch I saw by the lake once. Well, what my brain saw anyway. #cryptid #illustration #surrealart

Closer and closer and closer. Lots of tiny details and lightning left, but I have to wait for her to dry. #traditionalart #oilpainting #surreal

Another wip. I haven’t add more depth to the hair and fur and then just some general glazing and tiny details. Oil painting takes forever but it’s by far my favorite #traditionalart #wip #fantasyart

I’ve been working on this painting for a bit and she’s like 80% done I think? I have lots of tiny detailing and fixing some areas left, plus blending fog and moon and all of her hair and light body details. Hopefully I just need a couple more sessions. #oilpainting #traditionalart #fantasyart

Underpainting I started today because the other bird made me angry lol. I think its tail is positioned wrong but it’s fine. I love oil painting the most I legit zone out and don’t notice time passing, but I do tend to get flustered with how long it takes lol #traditionalart #oilpainting

I had a dream once I could shoot light out of my fingertips and I think about that a lot and draw it sometimes. #art #digitalillustration #illustration #drawing

Little sketch vs the final print. I was just doodling cone flowers in my sketchbook and I thought this guy looked like a little alien so I gave him eyes and chicken feet lol. People tell me they think he looks like mothman tho. #cryptid #mothman #illustration #sketchbookart
