I drew this using the free ANTI-AI brushes and ended up with a nice render. Even if you weren't using the brushes to achieve its hidden message effect, it still works as a very nice textured brush pack. #art #freebrushes

I just published my ANTI-AI brushes on my VGen and they're free! You can download them there or on my Gumroad store, which is also free. The brushes are textured with words that AI companies would consider to be profanity. Which they will not reproduce. #digitalart #freebrushes #procreate

Imagine a world at war for so long that apes will join your ranks in the not-so-distant future lol. #art #illustration

I designed a god for my world, Persevera. Gave her two phases, in case you need to fight her! #art #illustration #conceptart

I've been getting spammed with so many of these dirt cheap offers on LinkedIn recently. Pretty sure the $500 isn't even real lol.

There's this new app called Foxglove available on iOS that is supposed to act as Nightshade but for mobile. Idk if it's available on android, and I'm not sure how it works but it's worth checking out. First image is foxgloved, second one is the original. Can you see the difference? #art

Working on a tutorial on how to colour skin. I put this screenshot through foxglove. It’s supposed to be a form of nightshade. Oh and the brush I used for this entire thing is this one, the rough round brush. #art #illustration #tutorial

I made a scale comparison of my OCs. I’m working on my very first Elven people called the Red Giants, and I plan on making more variants of the Elves. #ocsky #art #illustration

Just in case you get any of these emails from ArtStation. These are scammers. Don't bother with them. They usually come in my inbox when I upload new artwork. It's a trash platform security-wise, but at least the portfolio section looks good. #art #artistsonbluesky

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I don’t know about Photoshop’s basic round brush but I’ve been using my own for Procreate and it’s good enough. What do you think this is? 😜 #art #digitalart

I'm making a new World Tree. It spreads its roots throughout the entirety of my world - Persevera. And there are these wells scattered all over which goes down deep and penetrates the roots of the World Tree, providing water...and I don't know what to call it! any ideas? #illustration #conceptart

I'm creating my own Elves. Nothing too fancy. But they will be red haired...like orangutans! and near uncoloured eyes, for a secret reason.. #drawing #illustration #ocsky

I never made a specific post just for this but here it is! This was a commission 😀 if you're interested, you can also commission me. DM if you're interested. #commissionsopen #art #illustration

Does this look Elven to you? I’m making my own version of Elves for my fantasy world Persevera, and I’m starting with their environments. #art #illustration

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

WIP. It's going good so far and I predict another 3-4 hours maximum on this. I need to focus so I won't overwork this thing. #digitalart #fantasyart #art

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Working on this brand new environment sketch. I think I managed to get the "living in total harmony with nature" theme of elves in this. Do you think I can still add more stuff to this, especially in the water? #art #illustration

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I have no idea what else to put in the water to make it feel more elven. I’m heavily inspired by night elves in world of Warcraft, and I want to add stuff in the water to make it look elven but not too night elf. Because I’d love to make this my own thing 🥰 #art #illustration

I'm open for commissions if any of you are interested in some cozy & immersive fantasy art :) #art #illustration

I've been drawing for 10 years and it took this long to make me certain (among other things) that: 1) I like having (obvious) blacks in my art in both line & shadow form. 2) I like drawing as if I'm using a mechanical pencil. 3) I don't like making 'clean' looking art. #illustration #digitalart

Tree condo idea. It lacks character. I’m not a fan of this one. Idea was good but execution not great. #sketch #conceptart

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

This is Duka, the god of grief that I designed for Persevera. Does anyone draw gods too? I thought it would be cool if you can tag me so I can see your god artworks. It can be a full body, a sketch, or just a portrait. #illustration #procreate #digitalart

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Finished this! I'm so glad I did one side of the cliff in dark sickly colours, so I feel like I drew two things instead of just one. #illustration #procreate #digitalart

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

WIP. Someone’s offering to pay for me to finish this, after I dropped it in a discord server. So I guess I’ll finish it! #illustration #art #procreate

I'm not sure if I'll ever colour this one. I think it looks good as it is. What do you think? #illustration #sketch #art

God design for Persevera. This is Jahad, the goddess of evil. Drawn in Procreate. #art #illustration #drawing

Apparently my art style can't be copied by AI? First is mine, 2nd & 3rd is Grok. I asked ChatGPT to generate for me but it refused, instead it recommended a prompt to use to recreate my art. So I copy+pasted the prompt but it just replied with the same thing it did before. Strange! #illustration

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Just sketching around in Procreate. I think I should do more of these. Sketching seems to be the thing that very much pushes my imagination & creativity. Meanwhile rendering is just turning my brain off and my hands going auto pilot. #drawing #art #illustration

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Here's another god design I did. I really like exploring this kind of aesthetic. It's familiar and comes naturally to me. Drawn in Procreate. #conceptart #art

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Concept art - updated version of the spirit mask of Duka. I plan on not showing the actual gods of Persevera. We only see people's art of them, like this. #conceptart #drawing

WIP. Not exactly something I’m trying to finish. This is more like the one sketch I keep coming back to when I’m creatively exhausted. It’s like the drawing in between other drawings. #drawing #digitalart #sketch

Aaah I used to draw in real sketchbooks...it felt great drawing with a pen on paper. But the thing is, they don't come with a timelapse feature. Sketchbooks don't have a record button 😅 but do you think I should draw more of these anyway? #illustration #art #drawing #sketch

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

This is a Bone Priest. An original character class I designed for my world. I do have some lore for them but these days I'm reluctant to share too much because I often see my own lore and think that they're terrible and need fixing 😅 #illustration #drawing #art #characterart

Sketching gods. Do the gods from your culture look like this too? #procreate #drawing #sketch #illustration

One of the character classes from my world, Persevera. They're called Mauler Knights. Drawn in Procreate. #art #illustration #drawing #digitalart

I'm thinking of making these guys big and strong. Like the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Instead of male Greenscouts turning into them from mere age, it will be from a matured form of physical prowess. #illustration #digitalart #worldbuilding #darkfantasy #art #procreate #drawing

These are all handwritten btw. I have had people ask me for my fonts when I didn't use any! Do you draw maps too? I'd love to see them! #cartography #maps #procreate #drawing #digitalart

If you follow this account or have commissioned this account for art. I'm sorry for your loss. You got scammed. This account contacted me in my comments section, deleted its comment so my reply disappeared, then blocked me so I couldn't see it anymore. But I can only warn you! #digitalart #drawing

Commission for a client! Looking at these line art pieces makes me realise how much can be felt from simply lines in black. I should do more of these! #procreate #digitalart #drawing

Creating a bunch of new brushes. I probably have made a thousand brushes, and most of them get deleted. And this is how I test them out, by painting finished pieces and then judging whether they’re worth keeping. #digitalart #drawing #procreate

Velga The Observer @velgatheobserver.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I’m making a new brush called the French fry. It’s good for adding texture to metal! What do you think? It’s on the red helmet drawing on the bottom.
