I'm a little late, but happy October, y'all! (It's an older drawing, sir, but it still checks out) "Pumpkin King," by Izzy Collier (that's-a me, yo), 2022. Pencil and ink on paper, digital colors and layout.

"The Pumpkin King," by Izzy Collier (that's me), 2022. A gold, wallpaper-style damask on a dark violet background. Inset on the left is a larger panel in full color. The damask features a grinning, fang-toothed jack o' lantern, surrounded by foliage from pumpkin, sage, and belladonna plants. Over the jack o' lantern hovers a golden crown, with pumpkin leaves as the finials on top.

Pencil and ink on paper, scanned and colored digitally.

Have a delightful, spooky, and safe Autumn, everyone!

Oh, hey! I was finally able to log back in to my art account. Guess that means I should start trying to draw again (hot weather allowing)...

Had a charity project that needed a few quick spot illos, so I figured it might be a good justification for picking up a pencil and trying to sketch again. (Also, brush markers are terrifying and absolutely great for speed-inking.)

A graphite-and-ink sketch of a sailor sitting on a barrel, playing a concertina. Scattered around him are various bottles, barrels, mugs, a lantern, and a partially-raised bit of sail for a backdrop. A puffin sits on a barrel next to him, listening intently. On the opposite side, a sea otter holds up a coin as if preparing to tip the musician.

A pen-and-ink cartoon illustration for the song, "Wellerman." At the left side of the drawing is a small, 16th-century style sailing ship. Inside the ship is a tiny figure wielding a harpoon. The rest of the image is filled with a whimsical, monstrous right whale, loosely based on illustrations of whales from Renaissance drawings. (Obviously based on fanciful descriptions from sailors, instead of real-life reference.) It has gigantic scales like a sturgeon, multiple blow-holes, and a row of tusk-like fangs in its mouth instead of baleen. There are trees growing on the whale's back, a reference to an old folk story about sailors who mistake a gargantuan, sleeping whale for an island.

I cannot believe you're at 10k already, and yet, your art deserves even more!! I'm Heraldo, your friendly illustrator who sometimes has fun with concept arts! I love fantasy but I always look forward to branching out into other themes so who knows?? Here's some of my personal favourites!

Bottom flippers are done. Since the fins will be fabric, those holes on the brackets are for stitching heavy thread through to make them more antique-ish steampunk sail-like. #3dprinting #arttoy #robot #mecha #3d #modelmaking #steampunk #fusion360 #goldfish #model #kit #35scale #submersible #sub

I draw more pirate flags/Jolly Rogers than I probably should. But this one is mine. Updated in 2020, from a personal design I did a few decades ago. (Drew this version originally for a tattoo, then Covid happened, then lack of money happened, then *gestures at everything* happened. Ah, well.)

A skull-and-crossbones pirate flag, with skull in the shape of a heart. There is a slash over one eye, and the edges are rough and splattery. Around it is a faint circle in yellow, gray, and violet.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I so wish I were in an autumn forest right now, listening to the quiet strumming of strings to the rustle of falling golden leaves. Autumn is very good for cities, but autumn in the forest is a miracle... #fantasy #fantasyart #bard

HP is a hard-working and creative ceramicist, educator, and all-around great guy, and I consider him pretty much family. And he's dealing with more than any of us should have to right now. I know that things are *gestures all around at everything* currently, but please help out if you can.

Re-revisiting a character of mine that's been around forever and a day. Is her outfit in any way practical? Absolutely not. And sometimes, that's OK. Pencil sketch, Photoshop highlights/color (If I decide to post more non-work or pin-up art, you'll probably see more of her in the future.)

Y'all, I know it's been said a million times before by people cooler than I, but take care of your physical, mental, and creative health. Burnout is serious, and the road out of it is difficult and frustrating. Be kind to yourself, and remember that we're all just works in progress.

While I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with myself art-wise now, I guess I can share some of the stuff that wasn't for my day job. Anyway, here's Wonderw-- I mean, here's a quick character portrait from the last D&D game I played in.
