a painting of Neil, the hairless rat, as a rockstar tumbling through a purple space. He plays a small purple toy keyboard, which glows pink and leaves a commet trail behind it. Neil wears rockstar accessories; funky yellow cheese-shaped shades, two earrings, and rings around his tail.
happy Neil Banging Out The Tunes Day

Feminine Ideal, 2025, acrylics. A green, fairylike alien woman sits in a mountain range of huge floating peaks. She has 4 pairs of pink, insectoid wings on her back and 5 sprouting from her head. Her long, many- tendriled tongue wraps around the decapitated head of a man. He appears to be in his 50s, of European descent, with wispy blond hair.
Jellycat Snow Dragon and her Warrior Companion, 2025, acrylics on paper. A Heavy-Metal/Frazetta-inspired, 80s scifi-fantasy styled painting. A warrior woman, dark skinned and chubby, is scantily clad in spiky, twisting chrome armor. She rests in the mossy branch of a huge jungle tree, backlit by the setting sun. Beneath her, resting in the grass, an enormous fuzzy white plush dragon lays flat. She has earrings that match the Warrior's armor.
Grampa Improves A Bad Day, 2025, acrylics on paper. A little boy, around 10 with dark olive skin and brown hair, sits forlornly on a stone floor. Golden hour light hits him from above and behind, throwing his shadow across the snout of his companion, a massive, elderly golden dragon with scars, a blind eye, and twisting horns.
The Beneficence of Magic, acrylics on paper, 2025. Children and one adult of fantasy races clamber and race across misty mountains to beseech the massive Ty Beanie Baby dragon Magic, who nests in an abandoned mountaintop city with her babies.
woagh hello #portfolioday i didn't see you there. my name is Blue, my site is artbyblue.com, and i make scifi and fantasy illustrations for print and animation and maybe You.
rest in piss to my personal enemy, the Dilbert Man, whom i swore to outlive. you filled the tumblr tag of my teenage special interest with conservative fetish diatribes, and your facism worship did not save you.
close up image of sculpted ornament amongst pine boughs and rainbow christmas lights. it is the head of Death from Discworld, a skeleton with glowing blue eyes in a rugged Santa hood and obviously fake beard, with hooks attaching it to his cheekbones. He faces out to the right at a 3/4 angle.
2 sculpted ornaments hanging next to each other in a tree. On the right is Death, and on the left is a full-body Death of Rats.
A shot of Death facing straight, held dangling in front of a hand. It is small, about 2 inches at its longest point.
The hand holding Death, this time facing 3/4s left, so the stitching on his hood is visible.
happy Hogswatch everyone, my spouse and i made ornaments

oh she's perfect!
but you're correct. it's fascinating as A Text to me though. "what if we attempted to sanitize the morality of monster fucking by trying to create a reality where colonialism cultural genocide and total loss of bodily autonomy were actually justified because the mommy plant knows better than you."
ah thank you! it is Very nsfw, you might need to adjust your filters!!
A large tattoo on a thin white person's lower back, butt, and thigh. It depicts 3 anthropomorphic dogs in an erotic scene. It is rendered in blacks, blues, reds, and whites. A Doberman and a tricolor American Bully hold a white Shepherd dog upside down between them. The white dog fellates the AmBull, who supports him, while the Doberman sits above, fisting him. The Shepherd and Doberman are both cumming. The tattoo is mostly healed, and shown complete at its final session.
A slightly different angle of the previous picture, showing how the tattoo wraps around the leg.
finally finished this massive piece and this app is the only place i can put it so all of y'all better be grateful!

a young, thin, green fairy woman lounges on a rocky outcropping in a fantasy world with floating mountains in the background. she has 4 iridescent, pink-veined wings on her back and 10 small wings growing from her head. she has an enormously long tongue, which winds around her arm to collect blood dripping from a dismembered male head suspended by tongue tendrils over her hand. the man is in his fifties, has white skin, fine blond hair, and blood trickling from his eyes and mouth

photo of a white person modeling an airbrushed black tshirt. the shirt has an existing logo on the top right breast, and the painting is a unicorn facing towards it. the unicorn is seen neck-up, in profile, with a glittering, spacey background. The animal is glossy black, and the whole image is rendered using teal, cerulean, hot pink, and white pigments. it is realistic in style, similar to 80s fantasy art
turned a shirt i don't wear into a cropped collar shirt with a horse on it (that i hopefully will wear more often)
.
i really wanna airbrush more shirts, this was my first try and i'm pleased
save me Rokos Basilisk. your torment nexus seems more fun
at least in fiction AIs are people choosing evil on purpose (sexy and fun). really disheartening to lose all hope in a good future bc of the idiot plagiarism machinations of The Worst Guy You Ever Dated.
yeah. i got some advice from a rep to pivot from making new art to learning to prompt midjourney. i think maybe we're all cooked.
a warcraft forest troll seen in 3/4 view, shoulders-up. He is green-skinned, muscular, with simple geometric torso tattoos, long ears and nose, and tusks curling up from his bottom jaw. his nose is tattooed black, as are strips of skin from hairline over eyes to cheeks. He has a tall red mohawk with long braids trailing off the sides. His eyes glow orange, and he smiles maniacally at the viewer.
painting digital again?? maybe?? this committee went soooo quick painted on my phone
yall wanna see my... magnum opus?
An ambiguous brown creature with two legs, an eye, and a long pointed nose. Text: the animal.
Three animals: a weevil, an echidna, and a kiwi bird. They are all drawn with similar silhouettes, highlighting round body shape, short legs, and long snouts. Text: snout collective.
Has anyone else caught on to this?
Art Telephone is an art game where each artist must make their interpretation of the piece before theirs. This one, the Hydraphone, was a large number of artists split into teams, each receiving the same starting prompt image, but creating multiple threads. ascalaphid.com/telephone/hy...
A large acrylic painting showing a busy city street populated by anthropomorphic insects. The scene takes place in the lower city, while the richer and more pristine upper city extends up the mountain in the background. It is late afternoon/early evening, and the colors are dramatic, with warm light and sharp cool shadows. At the center of the image, a yellow weevil in wizard robes and hat rides a massive, rearing millipede. He shrugs dramatically at an angry wasp on the ground in front of his steed, whose hands are raised antagonistically. A few feet away, on the ground, is a spilled crate of red fruits. Many insect onlookers watch on from street level, balconies, and flying above.
listen pal i don't care how "great and powerful" you are, that thing is at least a dozen segments over street legal, and it just destroyed a crate of good seasonal fruit!
made for @ascalaphid.com 's latest Art Telephone game, more info below

An acrylic painting on paper. In the foreground two children of fantasy races - a blonde, pale skinned halfling boy with large ears and rabbit-like digitigrade legs, and a dark skinned girl with pointed ears, wings, and a dark afro - run over a grassy, misty hill, holding hands looking into the distance. In the middle ground, climbing another misty hill, this one steeper and rockier and more in shadow, are three additional figures. Two, a large adult tiefling and a small human child, have reached the summit and are waving into the distance. The third, an elf child, holds on to a dead tree to hoist herself over some rocks that block her path. Over several misty mountain tops, half illuminated by the morning sun and half in cool atmospheric shadow, once a path that caps at the ruined wall of a large abandoned city at the top of the highest peak. An enormous Magic the Dragon Ty Beanie Baby sits in the gate, perched on/in the city like a nest. She has 3 baby Magics, 2 on her body and 1 further away, perched on a building around the side of the mountain. She us so far away and so large, her color is hazily blue from distance and mist, except a few sharp points of light where the low sun catches her. She bends her head down to look at the waving figures

imaginative realism acrylic painting. a jungle at sunset. a chubby warrior woman with dark skin wearing only skimpy metal armor lounges in a mossy tree. on the ground rests a massive Jellycat Snow Dragon with earrings of similar metal.
imaginative realism acrylic painting. in late afternoon light, a young boy with tan skin and brown hair sits hunched sadly, resting his hand on the massive head of an elderly dragon, who looks up at him sympathetically.
imaginative realism acrylic painting. a group of travelers of fantasy races, mostly children, climb misty mountains to catch the attention of a massive Ty Beanie Baby Magic the Dragon, who had made a nest of a ruined mountaintop city. her young perch around her.
imaginative realism acrylic painting. an upward shot of warped perspective, showing a nightclub lit all in pink. Chappell Roan dances euphorically in an angel costume heavily resembling Christine Daaé 's nightgown in the Phantom of the Opera musical. patrons of the club in the audience behind her resemble other characters from the musical. Above her, on an otherwise empty balcony, is a butch Phantom, lit from below by a strip of red LEDs.
