either the current one or the book cover would be something i'd personally go for! i've been biding my time and trying to get my skills up further so that i can take your mentorship for a while now. the concept art one also sounds amazing, but i worry about it being longer and if i'm ready for that

it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!

2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat

(I listened to Hopes and Dreams on repeat making this)

hopefully i can keep it up, and i don't magically lose all skill i've gained this year 😱🤣

painted portrait of my world of warcraft night elf hunter. she's looking up and back over her left shoulder, and has red light shining on her from her right side. she has black hair pulled into a braid that falls over her right shoulder. her skin is a pale pink with purple undertones, and she has purple markings on her face and dark purplish-red lipstick. her eyes are a glowing white with blue sclera. she has a claw ear cuff, along with dangling silver earrings with a purple gems (although the left one is mostly hidden). her necklace loops around her neck multiple times and the pendant on the chain matches her earrings.

my final art piece of the year! it was a doozy. my first time painting lineless, and i had to fight The Depression real hard after some devastating events IRL. but the desire to finish this was strong enough, and once i got going i got SUPER into it.

your progress was so amazing this year!!! i've loved watching you grow with your art, and i hope i get to keep doing so next year, and even more past that!

also, seeing the HUGE skill jump between your avril painting and that first sketch of your signature portrait? amazing. incredible. fantastic.

YOU'RE a talented beast, too! we're going to slay art and enemies together next year.

my 2025 art summary! this year was the first time since i started learning how to draw that i've drawn at least *something* every single month. and most of it had to do with @sylessae.bsky.social's portrait bootcamp and mentorship. basically all of it, actually.

Here's my Art Summary 2025. It's been a year of learning, trials, error and insecurities. But also a year of making new friends, adventures and genuine happy moments.

Here's hoping to grow stronger in 2026 💪

2025 artwork summary calendar with black and gold design. It shows 12 monthly illustrations of fantasy characters in frames, plus larger "Masterpiece of the Year" panel on left showing a romantic drawing of two fantasy characters almost kissing. Artwork includes various elves, tieflings, monters and other fantasy races. Text says "Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen".

And with that last one uploaded...here is my 2025 art summary thingy! I'm feeling far more confident in comparison to last year. I am moving towards a solid style and palette that I really like and just generally feel happier with my art 🩵

character reference sheet of an aasimar bard named thiasre. there's a full body painting of her, two busts, and close ups of some of her treasured items. thiasre a pale woman with black hands and feet that seeps up like wet ink to just below her elbows and halfway up her calves. she has long white hair down to her hips, red eyes, and a cocky smirk. her dress is white and tea length, ending just below her knees. the hem of her dress is dip-dyed red, and there's red and gold floral applique on her left shoulder and right hip. the sleeves of her dress are transparent and full. her shoes are low-heeled and red. she's wearing deep red lipstick, and the gold cuff and chain of her earring is just poking out past her hair. the first portrait is of thiasre looking to her right with a shocked expression. the second portrait is over her rolling her eyes at some unseen speaker. the items around her are her harp, made of black wood with a gold inlay, her dagger, silver with a white handle that has a floral inlay in red and green with gold outlining it, and her earrings, which are gold cuffs that are attached to studs from which dangle a star for her right ear and a crescent moon for her left ear.

i'm so glad you made this raffle, because i don't think i'd have found your art without it! the way you paint is delicious.

i'll toss my hat in the ring as well, for fun. this is my aasimar dance bard, thiasre! she's kind of an asshole tbh, but i love her.

the artwork is done by rachel denton!

A summary of most of the pieces I’ve drawn in 2025. The artworks span over a piece from Spirited Away to fanart for various characters from DA Veilguard and DA Inquisition as well as Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

I finished my art summary for 25 and it illustrates my shifting gaming interests beautifully. 😂
Syl‘s portrait bootcamp in the beginning of the year has been a real game changer for me.
Also, I couldn’t choose just one favourite piece. 😬

Im proud of you. You are doing the best you can as an artist in a time where people dont appreciate human art anymore. We are all struggling, but we are struggling together. We got this, and I believe in you.
Don't let the hard times crush your creativity. ♡

happy drawing anniversary!! you've been doing amazing!

i've finished the sketch, and fixed several missed perspective issues yay!, and now i'm trying to convince myself to paint it XD

🥺😌 thank yooouuu!

on the right of the digital canvas is a sketched bust portrait of a world of warcraft night elf hunter. on the left of the canvas is a bust reference of the in-game model of the hunter character, and the legs of the hunter can be seen below it as the bust reference is on a layer above a full body reference obscuring most of the latter.

i don't think i've ever really posted any WIPs on here... so i may as well, eh? rip the bandaid off or whatever. i've never drawn a wow character, so i've been weirdly extra stressed about it. (maybe i'm scared to do it "wrong"? idk lmao)

style, what style? pff. idk what i'm doing here, or with anything let's be honest.

but this is closer to what i want in terms of my style... i love a realistic portrait, and i'm definitely going to be drawing more of them, buuuuuuuuuut... idk, i like this!

once more i show up with a portrait of my favorite dnd character that i've barely ever played. she was the first one i ever put so much love and lore into, and the first i ever drew, and when her original game was cancelled i was CRUSHED.

#art #dnd #oc #sketch #ttrpg

Artists! Show an old piece you still love!

this is the drawing that i always look back at and go "i wish i could do that again".

you know, i've never reposted my own stuff before, but i'm always posting in the middle of the night so maybe i should start LOL

thank you! i could've done more work on it, but i was getting a smidge tired of it tbh😂i learned some stuff while doing it, though, which i'm happy about! and i think i'm really liking how i'm keeping my lines with the actual painting i'm doing. i might go lighter next time, though!

a bust portrait of a woman with red hair in space buns with small braids leading to the buns. she also has some hair falling beside her face, tied near the ends. her eyes are gold, and she has the expression of someone who is very tired of All This Bullshit.

the same portrait of the same woman, but this time she has on the mask of her profession (monk of mercy). it's a golden mask of the upper front section of a skull. the eye sockets and nose hole are darkened, and her expression can only barely be made out.

i'm doing a second run-through of @sylessae.bsky.social 's #SylBootcamp, so here's my baseline portrait! i'm going to try to add in painting this time around, but we'll see if i keep it up LOL
