Would it be okay if I used your photography like this for my fantasy art? You have really good pictures, and I'd like to draw over some of them.

The way this mountain towers above the surrounding forest has a kind of reverent, guarding authority to it. As if it's acting as a wall, warding over it's protected valley.

Perfect spot for a magical castle tbhtbh

A hiker in a pink jacket climbs up the trail with wind-sculpted rock towers rising behind. Two windows—one above the other—are between two of the towers.

Hiking up the Peek-a-boo Trail brought up close to countless windows, towers, and hoodoos of a seemingly fantastical imaginative world.

Water after water, hour after hour. Spilling, pooling, churning, descending.

Singing its endless song.

I love moss so much

Jane Eyre & Mr. Rochester embrace beneath ancient, gnarled trees below a gothic, windy sky & full moon in this woodcut-esque illustration, which is deliberately stark & artistically graphic in its contrasts.

Illustration for Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre by Fritz Eichenberg (1901-90)

A sparrow-like creature pokes its head out of what appears to be a large birdhouse. It's circled by tall, slender cypress trees, and is in the middle of a mediterranean garden.

The Gardener.

Oh hey, painting inspiration. Yoinking for my mood board

That framing is an excellent setting for such a wistful face, I rly like how your swooping lines seem to carry my eyes like a river

A broad, still expanse of water fills the foreground, so clear that the lakebed—small rounded stones in muted grays and browns—shows through beneath a thin veil of reflected sky. The surface is nearly motionless, acting as a mirror for the dawn above. At the horizon, the lake narrows into a distant valley framed by layered mountain ridges. The mountains rise on both sides in dark, cool silhouettes—deep blue to charcoal—softened by early light and atmospheric haze. On the left, a dense forest of conifers forms a continuous, shadowed edge that slopes gently into the water; on the right, the mountain face is steeper, its contours more pronounced but still subdued in the low light. The sky is the focal point. A scattered field of mid-level clouds stretches across it, each cloud catching the first light of sunrise. Colors transition from pale gold and peach near the horizon to cooler blues and soft grays higher up. The brightest band sits just above the distant valley, where the sun—still hidden—pushes a warm glow outward, illuminating the undersides of the clouds. This light is duplicated almost perfectly in the lake’s reflection, forming a symmetrical composition: sky above, sky below, divided by a thin, horizontal line of brighter water near the center. The reflection is slightly softened by faint ripples, but remains remarkably crisp.

I'M STUCK IN A LOOP

Love the style on this, how those smooth colors pop out against textured subjects. Like it's very efficient with your focus and, so, very relaxing to look at.

Use only One piece of art to convince folks to follow you.

A woodburning of a portrait of a blue jay. It looks happy to see you!

Here's a scan of my woodburning of a blue jay! With some added white pencil to make the face pop

#Artsky #woodburning #bird

A portrait of a Bog-Imp, visually similar to a goblin if not for the webbed ears. Her eyes are inky black under a keen, sharp brow. She's got a strong jaw and a big nose. Her hair comes down in large poofs behind a white cowl, matched to a white apron. She's looking straight at you with interest and a smirk.

This is Aechi, the Bog Imp Chef. OC belongs to my long time friend Kingpin. She's also my most favorite portrait I've ever painted, and I did it over a page of warm-up thumbnail sketches.
Painted on Krita
And I'll do it again too!

Signing my sauce

A traditional drawing of Checj's beautiful Puddle Fisher drawing.

Also here's a peek into how I made this! All the color and stuff is digital but the texture is all mechanical pencil and pen.

An old bearded man peacefully fishing across a shimmering grove pond at twilight, overlooking snow-capped mountains in the background.
