Sketched on a few work lunch breaks, just some exploration of Zee and Whin's whole dynamic. They're friends contractually and Zee is equal amounts of casual, earnest and insufferable about it but it rankles on Whin a bit. #art #ocs #ocsky #starlitshores

A traditional pen sketch with spot color of two characters interacting. The alien looking guy on the left is leaning in, one arm draped casually over the shoulder of the other, a bespectacled horned fae looking guy looking angry at the intrusion of his personal space.

"We talked about this already."
"I know! But I bet it'll work, just trust me! No risk no reward right?"
"Trust you? I'm a gambling man and even I know to not bet on those odds."
"Maaaan you're no fun today. What got your tops turvied?"
"Caught me on a bad day. And can you please back up a bit? I just freshly pressed this shirt this morning."

Window mode helps reduce a lot of issues, but turning everything else down helped too. I turned everything down for one of the metas. I normally have model quality on 'high'

Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

Depression is a medical issue that is often overlooked and minimized by people who have no understanding of the condition. You aren't a burden or a bad person because you're having difficulty with even day to day tasks. You are struggling but you are a fantastic person worth knowing and loving.

THE RIVER (1996) Oil on Canvas - 48” x 36” In my personal work, the red glass heart evokes the world of the senses and things that appeal to those senses. That’s material possessions for some or pleasure seeking and gratification for others.

Reclining on a low broken branch, a woman in white diaphanous gown rests against a tree trunk. Lost in contemplation, her eyes are pressed closed. Her hair falls in tight waves of blonde down her back, and a lavender sash crosses her waist from behind. Tacked to the trunk above her, a red glass heart hangs from a ribbon. The forest beyond is partially obscured by branches of a conifer. Soft light cuts diagonals through the misty air. The tree squats on a grassy island. At its front edge, an open vessel half filled with water contains a solitary flame. A branch crosses in front of the tripod stand it sits upon. A skull is revealed in a knob of the branch, a memento mori revealing the woman's thoughts.

Oh hi. It's my birthday 🙂 I have to say that diving into acrylic painting and book illustration over these last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy learning more, painting more, and getting older really is quite great!

Cover illustration for "Fusion Fragment" showing a portrait of a woman facing upwards, as a mirror shatters around her. The mirror shards all show eyes of other women trapped within them. Two mask shards are also falling around her face, inspired by Japanese kabuki masks, representing her mixed heritage.

Acrylic painting showing Sauron's defeat by Lúthien and Huan at Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Book interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing", showing the MC Winnie in a castle hallway. The scene takes inspiration from Gothic horror and Gothic romance movies, from the nightgown design to the candelabra.
A black cat hides behind Winnie's leg, a vampire hides in a dark doorway, and the red candlelight reflects of a suit of armor and several empty painting frames.

Acrylic character illustration for a fantasy book commission. The two characters are shown in a sparse, partially destroyed ice palace hall. Both characters have unnaturally pale skin and are clad in black.

Some expression practice from the other day with my man Whin as a warmup before commissions, eternally trying to up my expression and characterization game. #OCs #ocsky #StarlitShores #art

A couple of ballpoint sketches of a masculine fae character with a gestalt of animal features such as long ears, horns, spots and a mane. In one he's looking off to the side, snarling and baring sharp teeth. In another he's smiling in what seems to be some kind of repressed or impish way.

A ceramic sculpture of a songbird. Their diamond-shaped tail and rounded body are glazed in a brick-red and coppery metallic finish, rustic but shining. They have a black beak and eye they tilt upwards. Their chin and undercarriage are glazed in a white glaze with a subtle, tasteful crackle texture.

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

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.

I always thought that the Asura invested in strength did so mechanically, mathematically and strategically. Building muscle (traditionally or experimentally) takes knowledge and discipline or engineering! Even my most himbo Asuran gladiator is a strategist and entrepreneur.

Door completely out of his element in a quarter of Sol-Taerynogg he never sets foot in but trusting Whin to guide him through the process as he tries on the outfit he commissioned just for him. Characters belong to @somnis.bsky.social and me. #StarlitShores #art #ocs #ocsky #cyberpunk #fantasy

A complex full color illustration set inside an upscale clothier's shop. A view outside the tall windows reveals a futuristic cityscape around midday. The two subjects, both masculine horned fae in the foreground are both dressed fashionably, one in shades of green with bronze and gold jewelry who is leaning forward on a counter with jewelry displays and gazing with a mix of amusement and adoration at the other one who is dressed in black, silver and iridescent material. The latter is glancing back at the other character as if seeking approval or making sure he's doing this right.

Every day I think about this passage

"One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on the land is quite visible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise" quote by Aldo Leopold
