iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Another DA Tutorial! Fun, but *very* messy. Might have turned out better if I used the seashells... or if I understood glass shading better. But I wanted to do something witchy. And I like how the colors turned out. #DATutorial #deviantart #digitalart #halloween #candle #witchy #spooky #krita

A messy, Halloween-themed digital illustration of a floating indigo candle in a glass cylinder vase. In the bottom of the cylinder vase is a pink and white mushroom, an eyeball with an orange iris and slit pupil, and a light pink earthworm curled around both.

The vase is standing or floating on a maroon surface that reflects the yellow-orange light of the candle. Above the maroon surface is nothing but darkness, the light from the candle (depicted as layered circles of yellow, orange, brown, and black around the flame) and a flurry of yellow sparks.

A sketchy digital lineart, blue on a pale blue background.

A ghost-like creature with a round face, a pointed, raindrop-shaped hat, and a blobby body resembling a bulb of garlic or a floating, puffy skirt. It has large eyed under a rounded domino mask, and it is smiling happily.

An attempt at Rainy Castform.

A sketchy digital lineart, yellow on a red background.

A strange creature with a large, round head and a smaller, blobby body. Its body resembles a bulb of garlic with an extra swish that could be either a tail or the corner of a cape. It seems to be wearing a cowl or hood with large ball ornaments that frame its grinning face, with smaller balls on either side and the largest on top of the creature's head. It is wearing a rounded domino mask over its large eyes.

An attempt at Sunny Castform.

A sketchy digital lineart, white on a dark gray background.

A strange creature with a round, balloon-like head far larger than its blobby body, which is shaped like a bulb of garlic. It has a single large cowlick on the top of its head, curving backward. It has a domino mask, large round eyes, and a small smile.

A sketchy digital lineart, red on a beige background.

A serpent or snake-like dragon viewed in 3/4 view, facing left. Its body loops back in an elegant curve before its tail twists up to show off the fan of four leaf-shaped feathers at the end. Its head and dainty snout form a teardrop shape. It has large, dark eyes with an aloof stare. Its brow ridges sweep up into thin antennae that form a loose heart shape over its head. There is a single, unicorn-like spike at the top of its head. Two long, decorative flaps hang from either side of its head. The ends of the flaps are wider than the base, and end in three points. The front half of the creature's body is plain, but around the halfway mark there begins a geometric design like a mosaic that extends to the tip of the tail.

An attempt at Milotic.

A sketchy digital lineart, blue on a beige background.

A cartoon fish swimming in 3/4 view, facing left. It seems taller than it is long, with a lumpy, angular shape that seems like a blobby human skull. The dark circle around its visible, beady eye, along with the vertical line between its front and back that curves under the eye as if indicating a gaunt cheekbone, enhances the resemblance to a skull face. It has puffy fish lips set in a worried frown. There are two triangle markings over its lips that might be meant to create an illusion of fangs. There are a few larger, rectangular blotches on its forehead and the back half of its body. It has two narrow, blunt-ended pectoral fins, and one short, wide, fan-shaped tail fin. On top of its head is an odd fin with a triangular hole, giving it the look of a luggage handle or keychain loop.

An attempt at Feebas.

A sketchy digital lineart, red on a yellow background.

A bipedal arthropod creature with a silhouette and lizard tail similar to Godzilla. Its eyes are set on leaf-shaped protrusions on either side of its armored head. Horizontal bands run from its neck down to its underbelly and abdomen. Two additional plates form a shape like a breastplate on its chest, with holes for its arms. Its arms are thin and insect-like, but end in large, multi-sectioned claws. It has short, thick legs with flat, dinosaur=like feet. Leaf-shaped, beetle-like wings on its back are visible behind its torso. On either side of its neck, sticking out horizontally, are three flaps or spikes with horizontal bases and diamond-shaped tips.

An attempt at Armaldo.

Finral, of course, thinks he's chosen a super suave costume to attract the ladies. Nobody tell him that's not how vampires dress anymore. : )

Tyro @sinistertyro.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Last year I ran out of time to add Finral and Vanessa. Vanessa might take another year, but I wanted to finish at least one more Bull since BC's anime is coming back on Oct 3. #blackclover #finral #finralroulacase #halloween #charmy #vampire #vampirecostume #digitalart #celshading #krita

A digitally drawn illustration on a black background, with a black silhouette in the foreground. The lighting is a warm glow from below.

The illustration is of Finral Roulacase, from the anime/manga Black Clover, dressed as a campy vampire for Halloween. He is drawn in 3/4 view from a slight high angle.

Finral is a slim young man with pale skin and purple eyes. He has wavy light brown hair. He is looking up at the viewer with an enigmatic smile, vampire fangs visible even with his mouth closed. He is wearing a black metal hoop earring.

His pose is a parody on campy vampire movies. His right arm is extended out and to the right, palm up and fingers relaxed, as if beckoning. His left arm is held across his upper torso, fingers held as if poised to grab his cape for a dramatic flare.

He is wearing a high-collared, Dracula-style cape, black on the outside over his shoulders and magenta on the inside where it shows behind his head and flowing to the side under his right arm. He is wearing a loose white poet blouse with puffy sleeves and ruffles at the wrist. He is wearing a white cravat with a large oval cravat pin showing the cream-and-black bull skull emblem of the Black Bulls. He is wearing a light magenta waistcoat with black lapels.

The silhouette in front of Finral in the foreground is of Charmy Pappitson from the anime/manga Black Clover. She is a short, child-like person with wavy hair in a high bun. She is wearing wolf ears, an outfit with fur cuffs, and sitting on a pile of candy, arms raised in excitement.

A digitally drawn illustration on a black background.

The illustration is of Charmy Pappitson and Finral Roulacase, from the anime/manga Black Clover, dressed up for Halloween. Finral is a campy vampire, while Charmy is a cute wolfgirl. Charmy is in the foreground, sitting in a glowing cauldron of assorted candy that lights the scene from below. Finral stands just behind her to the left. They are drawn in 3/4 view from a slight high angle.

Charmy has pale skin, green eyes, and black hair up in a bun. She is smiling, her arms raised toward the viewer in excitement. She is dressed in a werewolf Halloween costume. It consists of a sleeveless red dress with a thick black belt and square gold buckle. At her wrists and neck are thick ruffs of grey fur, and on top of her head are grey wolf ears.

A sketchy digital lineart, mint on a gray background.

A lobster-like arthropod viewed from a high front angle. It has a segmented body with thin tail fins that resemble a pointy hair bow. It has four leaf or feather shaped flaps on either side of its body, edges touching to form something like a flexible fin down the length of its body. Its head is a horizontal oval with a slight point at the front. Its eyes are large, round, and positioned at the end of short horizontal stalks on either side of its head. It has large fangs that are sectioned in a way that suggest they function more like limbs or claws.

An attempt at Anorith.

Tyro @sinistertyro.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

A sketchy digital lineart, pale pink on a green background.

A strange creature standing in 3/4 view, facing left. It has a main body like a blobby, shell-less turtle with stubby legs and oval rings on its underbelly. From the top of this body rises a thin neck that curves forward under the weight of its head, which is almost twice the size of its body. Its head is round and bulbous, almost entirely taken up by a wide, gummy mouth with a single visible tooth. Circle designs on either side of its head above its mouth might be eyes, or possibly decoys. From the back of its head fan a ring of 8 long, thin petals spaced like spider legs.

An attempt at Cradily.

Tyro @sinistertyro.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

A sketchy digital lineart, pale yellow on a purple background.

A strange creature viewed from a slightly high angle. It resembles a wine goblet. The goblet has circle designs on the sides, horizontal banding down the narrow stem, and a bulbous base with four stubby, turtle-like legs. At the top, puffing out of the goblet like a muffin out of its cup, is a round cushion. Sunken into the center of the cushion is a round ball with circles that seem like eyes. Emerging from under the ball are 8 floppy appendages that spread out like spider legs or palm fronds.

An attempt at Lileep.

A sketchy digital lineart, pale yellow on a dark gray background.

A round clay creature with strange proportions. Its head is round but somewhat squashed, making it wider horizontally than vertically. The top narrows into a cylindrical tube like the neck and mouth of a vase. It has a row of four round eyes covering a whole side of its head, separated by a multi-arched eyebrow ridge and noses that resemble owl beaks. Its pupils alternate between small ovals and horizontal dashes. Its body is round and perhaps half the size of its head, with two target-shaped markings across its front and tiny, conical feet. Its arms resemble round jugs with short, cylindrical necks.

An attempt at Claydol.

A sketchy digital lineart, orange on a beige background.

A strange doll in 3/4 view, facing left, viewed from a little above. Its head is round and wide, making it larger than the perfect sphere of its main body. Its arms are two long, flat rectangular shapes emerging horizontally from its body before gently curving down. Below its round body, its has no legs, but only a diamond-shaped spike that it appears to be balancing on like a top. On top of its head is another, similarly-sized cone pointing straight up. Its head is bisected by a horizontal ridge. Its face is composed of eyebrows made of a double arch shape with a V-shaped point in the middle for a nose. Its eyes are wide, lidded ovals. On the front of its torso is a large ring design that connects to a horizontal stripe around the back of its body.

An attempt at Baltoy.

A sketchy digital lineart, pale yellow on an orange background.

A cartoon lobster creature standing in 3/4 view, facing left. Its posture is like that of a centaur, its head/torso almost upright while its lower body is supported by a pair of small intermediary legs that end in spiky claws and a pair of short, bulkier back legs that end in flat, dinosaur-like two-clawed feet and have an oval armor plate over the knee/shin. The wide fin of the lobster's tail is visible at the back. The creature has no neck, its head and torso making one curved torpedo shape. One large round eye with a large bag under it is visible. On top of the dull cone of its head is a large five-pointed star. Its arms are thin, but end in enormous pincer claws. left arm is down at its side, but its right arm is bent and raised up to show the claw head-on. Its body is sectioned, but a single armor piece like a combined breastplate and helmet covers its upper torso, shoulders, and head. A jagged opening in this armor piece, positioned like a screaming mouth, reveals more horizontal bands.

An attempt at Crawdaunt.

A digital drawing of three chess pieces on a white background. The shading is rough and unblended, but distinct.

There is a simple white pawn in the upper left corner, a more elaborate black pawn in the lower left corner, and a white king on the right side.

The left half of the image is the same as the first image, but with the addition of light red, sketchy grid lines indicating the shapes and curves of the chess pieces. On the right is the photo reference for the shading study. The main image shows the black pawn and the white king standing on a black surface with an indistinct gray background. Over the right corner of that photo is a smaller, cropped photo of the white pawn.

Day 503 of my left-handed Pokemon challenge, Corphish. Krabby's invasive-species cousin. #pokemon #lefthandpokemon #pokemonfanart #sketch #digitalart #krita #imagedescription #corphish

A sketchy digital lineart, orange on a white background.

A chubby cartoon lobster in 3/4 view, facing left, with its claws raised. Corphish has an upright, pear-shaped torso/head, but the rest of its body lays horizontal like a lobster. A lobster-like, fan-shaped tail is just visible behind its body. It is supported by six short, crab-like legs. Its sectioned underbelly is visible below an upper shell that covers its back and face. It has large oval eyes with beady pupils. It has three spikes on top of its head like a crown. Its claws are short, but round and wide like rosebuds.

An attempt at Corphish.

A sketchy digital lineart, pale blue on a deep blue background.

A cartoon whale in 3/4 view, swimming towards the left. Whiscash is smiling widely. It has thick lips with a teardrop-shape dangling from either side of the bottom lip. At both corners of its mouth, under its round, beady eyes, sprouts a long, thin whisker that curves up and over its body. Each whisker has a curl at the end. On Whiscash's forehead is a W-shaped, horizontal zigzag like a jagged lightning bolt. Whiscash has two petal-shaped flippers, two smaller fins on the underside near the tail, and a heart-shaped tail fin. It has one additional petal-shaped fin on its back with a three dot design.

An attempt at Whiscash.

A sketchy digital lineart, yellow on an orange background.

A round, floating rock with a face and jagged, crystalline protrusions around its vertical circumference, making them look like rays of the sun. The rock is textured with craters and smooth globs that resembled something molten.

The eyes are round, with three thick, rectangular lashes at the top and bottom of each eye. The eyes themselves are squinting, barely open as if it can't stand its own brightness. A vertical line of three triangular shapes between its eyes seem to serve as nose and mouth.

An attempt at Solrock.

A sketchy digital lineart, red on a white background.

A bipedal, furry creature in 3/4 view, facing left. It has beady, glaring eyes, a small, triangular nose like a cat's, and a sharply scowling mouth like an upside-down V. Its arms are relaxed at its sides. Its ears are positioned like a bunny's, long and pointed with jagged fur at the tips. Its right ear is outlined to indicate that it is a different color from the main fur, and the color comes down in a streak to its right cheek before rising in a sharp jag that resembles a scar-shape through its right eye.

It has a pear-shaped body with short, stubby legs and flat, three-clawed feet. Extra jags of fur at its shoulders give it a tough appearances. Its arms are thick, transitioning to differently colored fur halfway down. It has two large claws similar in positioning to X-Men's Wolverine, with smaller fingers beneath on the underside of the paw. It has a thick tail that separates into three large tufts of fur. On its chest is a jagged marking like a partial 'M' or a bolt of lightning.
