I promise I won't spam the feed with my stolen art, but I wanted to share this one because I enjoyed painting it. I used black watercolors on toned paper, something I hadn't tried before. (There is a Leyendecker watercolor that made me want to try this combo of materials) "Nocturne"

Second cover I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • In twilight blue colour-way 🦋🎨 @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social
Cover art I created for • Year's Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward.
Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in periwinkle and darker twilight blues with pops of pale off white pink for the berries. Over top is a fine line ink work in dark blue and pale pastel blue for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.

The Merchant Adventurers' Hall is brought to you today by: The Letter "G" (for Great Hall) and The Number: 1357.
We are looking at the Great Hall on a sunny bright afternoon. The medieval oak frame roof soars upwards and glows in browns, oranges and gold. The sun can be seen streaming through the Georgian sash windows creating puddles of light on the pine and pitch pine floors.

An illustration of a dark old parlour room with a cozy fire burning in the fireplace. A cat strolls across an ornate rug in front of the fire while a crow sits on the arm of a large wingback chair. The fire illuminates the rug and chair but the rest of the room is in darkness. Black pen and printmaking ink on off white paper. Spooky and atmospheric.

🎃 Brand new work to celebrate it being October! 🎃 ‘Halloween in the Suburbs’. Black pen and acrylic inks on off white paper. Unsigned Giclee Prints: £50 +P&P Signed Giclee Prints: £70 +P&P Illustration size: A4 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com 🎃👻
An illustration of a small old wooden house with a little porch. Its windows are illuminated by the light within. The house sits on a street in suburban America, it is Halloween. The neighbourhood is active with spooky goings on, ghosts in white sheets on the street and in the windows of the house, mummies amble about, glowing pumpkins on the sidewalk and porch. A black cat strolls in front of the house, a black crow sits on top of the little house. On the porch a little witch with her black dress, broom and crooked hat knocks on the door, trick or treating? Going to a party? Or an unwanted guest? 
The illustration is done in black crosshatch pen on white paper, the pumpkins are orange with yellow glowing eyes in stark contrast to the black & white. Whimsical and celebratory…Halloween in the Suburbs!

Title: Retribution

The painting depicts the goddess Nemesis as an embodiment of punitive justice. There is a female figure suspended in the air, with her arms outstretched, holding a sword in one hand and an hourglass in the other. Her hair is dark and windswept, and large golden wings extend behind her. She wears a light-colored tunic with flowing fabrics, against a misty sky in shades of blue, green and gold.Fanart of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. There is a female figure with short, almost white blonde hair, golden tears streaming from her eyes and a serene expression. She wears a red outfit with a white lace collar. She holds a black cat with pale green eyes, surrounded by light-colored roses with thin streaks of blood staining their petals, foliage and thorny branches. The background features shades of blue and black, with golden thorn-covered branches forming a halo around her head.Title: All Beauty Will Vanish

There is a female figure with dark brown hair styled in a voluminous bun, with loose strands framing her face. She wears a light white and pink outfit and holds a bouquet of flowers in shades of pink, lilac and white. The background features shades of brown, with a golden circular halo behind her head.Title: "Pulled out my tongue, so I can't speak the truth.", referencing the lyrics of The Warden by Chelsea Wolfe.
The painting depicts a female figure with closed eyes, long light-colored hair in shades of white and lilac, and two dark, curved horns. Surrounding her head is a luminous radiance with branching forms, reminiscent of the radiant halos found in religious iconography. Blood tears stream from her eyes and blood runs from her lips down her chin. The background features shades of blue-gray and black, it makes a contrast with the luminosity of her hair and the radiance.

Graphite pencil drawing + watercolour on toned paper of a close up of a woman's face. She is in profile, only her nose and mouth is visible. She appears to have quite a sharp tooth. I have added colour tones in photoshop. Her nose and lips have a reddish tone, almost like blood. She has a scar/cut on her cheek. The art is called 'Drained'.

Across the Causeway. Original handmade artwork. An unpublished Illustration made for The Woman in Black written by Susan Hill. Image size: A4 £130 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com
A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller illustration on off white paper. Areas of dark and light and grey to describe a damp and gloomy landscape of a causeway across an estuary. Two people sit on a wooden cart with two large wooden wheels, the cart is pulled by an old horse. The track is wet and pitted with muddy cart tracks and seaweed. They make their way towards a large Victorian house which is situated on a small island at the end of the causeway. The house looks dark and forbidding, it’s not inviting like say…Centreparks, I don’t think it has a fun water slide out the back.  Rays of sunlight illuminates the roof of the house and reflect on the damp track, the sky is heavy with chunky clouds.
