damn the one time i actually think to post something to bsky and it's frikkin broken here

digital painting (study) of a plus size model in lingerie. the soft, warm colors are painted with large brushstrokes to keep the piece about impressions and form rather than detail.

a quick lil 1 hr study, focus on shapes + form and not getting bogged down in detail.

the rage this sends me into every gd year.

Work in progress drawing of a skull phone on a wonky looking shelf with an eyeball jar and supplies

Art imitates life

this is nova. she's a white cat with grey tabby on her back and atop her head. her one ear is flipped back and she's looking at the camera with a sassy stare.

sticker featuring a dark skinned elven woman with pink curly hair. her dress is a gorgeous glitter effect and shimmers and shines.

the artist's cat vs the artist's sticker part of her march rewards that she desperately wants more people to see because she loves how it came out so much and she hopes maybe more folks will join to get the march rewards and add it to their collections :3

Digital painting of a blonde woman in the foreground wearing a light purple dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves. She is crouching and reaching into a lake, water falling between her fingers. Behind her is a scenic view of a castle set between mountains and forestry. Fields dotted with purple flowers and a river flowing completes the scene.

Close up of hands.

Reference vs Art

I join in with "your reference can look entirely ridiculous and still give you great information". DAZ 3D + Blender.
I'm a very strong believer in making your own references. Whether it's selfies, 3D software, traditional sculpting, friends posing... there are so many great ways

Full body artwork of a kitsune character wearing a comfy outfit with big pants, small top and a big cardigan. She holds a sketchpad in one hand and a pen in other.

Finally found a pair of pants that I love dearly so here is Myliah wearing a comfy outfit I styled with them 😌

Digital drawing of my OCs Narok and Kasandra. Kasandra is reaching up to pull Narok's head down for a kiss, but the drawing has caught them right before they meet lips. Narok looks startled/a little scared while Kas looks at him sweetly. The background is blue and pink with a white moon-like symbol, surrounded by soft stars.

Been listening to 'Closer' by the Chainsmokers/Halsey (book 2 song) on repeat. 🐺🔮

a black and white image of a characer with minimal shading and loose lines. favor is standing with her mouth slightly open and looking off into the middle distance

one of my friends sent over a beautiful ref of sabrina carpenter so I had to use it to draw favor

A pale woman with long wavy platinum blonde hair. She has a periwinkle flower crown, purplish eyeshadow and a blue metallic lipstick. She is wearing a dark blue dress with a lighter blue corset and semi-transparent sleeves. Her neck is decorated with a bright blue brooch.

My newest girlie, Pandora. She likes the color blue (obviously). She likes illegal experimentation on human-like sentient constructs as well. 💙

A digital portrait of a smiling Viera with a light complexion, and medium-length red hair with straight bangs and big leporine ears. Their eyes are lilac with red eyeshadow, looking at the camera with an expectant look while their head is slightly faced to the left. The smiling lips expose their teeth a bit, showing one visible fang. Their head is adorned with a gold headdress similar to a laurel wreath. One of their leporine ears is decorated with a dangly purple gem. They have a saffron-colored collar with a big bow. The background is dirty rose colored with some light yellow hearts and circles floating near the character's head. There's a watermark in the bottom right corner: "hortensjjja, commissioned by sleepy nao". End ID.

thank you so so much!!!! that really means a lot 🥹

Digital painting of a woman kneeling with a sword in hand. The sword seems to be made of some kind of semi-transparent, black material. The green of her skirt pools around her knees. The woman looks determined, and ever slightly worried. Her auburn hair swirls behind her. She kneels before a balcony, vines and leaves crawling the wall behind her while the moon in a deep night sky hangs high above her head. Golden curtains swirl around her.

Digital drawing of an elegant elven woman from the waist up. Behind her is a art deco-esque frame in pastel purple and greenish-grey. She has long, wavy purple hair that is pulled back from her face with a small bun. She wears a tiara with crystals. Her eyes are shut and she looks at peace.

Sticker version of the previous art of an elegant elven woman from the waist up. Behind her is a art deco-esque frame in pastel purple and greenish-grey. In this sticker version, the frame has a holographic effect and contains a rainbow of colors.
