Greyscale digital watercolour illustration of St. Patrick's church, or at least the front of it Thank goodness for CLIP Studio Paint's Symmetrical and Figure Ruler tools; saved me days of drawing pain-staking architecture with straight lines (my ultimate bane), and so far I'm pretty chuffed with the result as this was outside my comfort zone after making portraits of various characters

Jan 2025 Scheherazade [left, holding a book - 16years old] and Dunyazad [right, waving - 10 years old] A pair of sisters I drew from a long time ago, when I was making an original project that drew inspiration from Persian mythology, folklore and of course, Thousand and One Nights. I envisioned them to be adopted daughters of a deity of fire and truth, based on Zoroastrianism, but in the end I didn't get so far as I always fear I would offend those who are still practising their faith Still, I always have a soft spot of these; I just couldn't let them go wasted in the aether
