It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

Having laboured over a personal project for many years now, it has been interesting to realise I cannot love the process of making comics as much as I love reading them.

Selkies, from my book Seas Of Strangehollow, the third in my Strangehollow world. You can find the books here: buff.ly/7krkipG #selkies #mermaid #merfolk #folklore #fairytales #artbook

Unlike mermaids, which you will also find in both western and southern
seas, selkies prefer the cold waters of the kelp forests of the west. There
are no white sandy beaches here, just a coastline dotted with rocks, cliffs
and occasional dark sand beaches. The ocean is deeper here, and where
the kelp forests end there is an underwater cliff edge which gives way to
unfathomable depths. Great beasts loom in the deep, creatures from
stories which chill the blood in your veins.
The selkies of Strangehollow are not shapeshifters like those you may
have read about in old folk tales. They are not dissimilar to mermaids in
that their upper bodies, down to their hips, are...

Image description: two half woman, half seal selkies swim amongst the sea kelp. They have staring white eyes and webbed hands.

I have been called an amateur artist, recently. It accidentally hit where it hurts. It is technically true. I do not sell my art, and usually work for non-profit projects. And yet, I put so much into my pieces that it sucked the air right out of my lungs.

I have been trying to get outside and into stores more often lately, but it has been difficult through the fatigue. I find it difficult to rest after any amount of exertion. At least this little gourdy boy was there to cheer me up the other day!

I went to a stationery store the other day & grabbed my first Leuchtturm1917 notebook! Here is my inaugural merm drawing for it. The paper smells different; it is also thinner and a lot more translucent than my usual, but it still felt pleasant under my nib! #fountainpen #sketch #art #mermaid

Picture of a little sketchbook next to a little pen, held open by the artist's left hand. The first page depicts a dappled merperson with long flowy hair gently reaching towards a small fish. The pen's colour seems to match the ink very well, in a hue that is hard to define, sitting somewhere between blue, grey and green.
The artist is pleased to report the stationery store had many other beautiful notebooks, and even snagged a lovely teal one with geometric lines forming a starry pattern. That one will be used for journaling!

August is slowly coming to an end, which can only mean that #SpookySeason is finally approaching! And it’s the perfect time to adopt a little bat keychain! 🦇 evanskyarts.com/products/bat... #Handmade #Bat #Bats #Halloween #Fall #Cute #SmallBusiness

Two bat felt keychains photographed on a black and wooden background, surrounded with decorative plants and felt. The bats have a dark grey, egg-shaped body with a dark pink blush, a small heart-shaped, light pink eyes, and two big ears, the inside of them is a three-toned pink. One of the bat has it’s wings open, and the other one has them closed over it’s nose, it’s eyes peeking out. Two magnets are hidden in the tips of the wings, allowing them to close.

A little something something for yet another personal project (and because... hands!) 💜 #art #fantasyart #artsky

A digital illustration of two people holding hands (actually dancing but it's not clear in the painting). One hand is pale and blueish, with long dark claws. The other hand is more human-like and veiny, with some deep scars further down the arm. There's also a frame made of gnarly branches, with the image of a crow, a snake and the crescent moon engraved in the wood.

Today's memory merfolk doodle! I started to feel ill in the middle of it and didn't finish it as nicely as it started :'D (ignore the runaway hand, I am notoriously bad at centering compositions on sketchbook pages) #art #sketch #fountainpen #merman

Flowy merperson drawn in sage ink, crammed on one side of the page with one of their hands partially out of frame because I improvised the drawing and didn't know it'd end up there when I started. The humanoid creature is swimming up. The lower half of their body is a little bit less polished than the top.

On the left, I scribbled little swatches of all the inks I currently have on rotation in my pens. I quite like that colour palette as a whole. This sketch was done using a single colour, the third one on the list, "Sage Serenade", by Ferris Wheel Press.

My fountain pen skills are rusty and I have a nasty migraine, but I decided I'd sketch a merm and post anyway. I think I may have to lie down now 🫠 #fountainpen #sketch #art #merman

Fountain pen sketch of a merperson reaching for something. There was an attempt at shading with some hatching but the artist clearly didn't render everything through the pain.
I have a migraine and the left side of my body hurts in several places.

I actually drew this with another pen than the one depicted! I did a little switcharoo like a loathsome creature, and now you have no idea what that other pen was! Oh no! (I'm kidding, it was a Kaweco Sport with an EF nib, like the one in the picture in a different colour)

Some concept art for my friend @varu.bsky.social! This is Chestnut, another nightmare version of our D&D protagonists. She's a pixie, and she's mean! The dried blueberry is a holdover from her past. #art #d&d #fairy

Digital art of a sharp brown and green fairy with a bug-like appearance and moth wings, covered in green spikes. She has more limbs than she should, and a wicked smile. Her leafy skirt is withering, fading into chitinous bark on her body.

The artist is grateful for their friend's trust with this character. They thought it'd be fun if she became bug-like, influenced by her friend's transformation into a spider monster...!

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues.
"Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated.
The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."
