Mushroom prints! 🍄🍄🍄

Took some product pictures last week for an event, and I really liked how this one turned out.

A 2025 redraw of a piece I drew back in 2014. Which do you guys prefer? I'm pretty partial to the newer version with the glowing eyes and sparkles.

Water themed fairy next to splashing waves

I need to post on here more!!!! Hopefully today is a good start and I can be more regular. Here is the water themed fairy that I drew in September! This took so long, but I think it's my favorite piece this year so far.

Norwescon was a great time this past weekend! Made many new friends and had some really sweet, validating interactions with people who liked my art. 😭 My next event will be the Tacoma Farmers Market on Broadway next Thursday.

Some pictures from last weekend's con in Port Angeles. I love Squatchcon! The vibes and people who attend are so good. I even got to join a panel for the first time!

Sorry for the long hiatus from this site. 😭 Sometimes, all I can manage is insta. I drew another puffy dress fairy to add to my little series I started in 2023.

I am going to be doing #funguary when I have time this month! This challenge was created by @feefal.bsky.social and is so fun! I combined the first three prompts for this one: veiled lady, chicken of the woods and spotted cort.

Working on a space needle dress design! A little stuck on whether I want to add in the skyline or some fireworks, but lmk what you think!

I started reading The Lord of the Rings again recently. It's such a good story, and I've been needing something comforting to dive into.
Meet the hamster fellowship! I drew them last year, and it's honestly one of my favorite things I've made.

I haven't done the #faceyourart challenge in a while! The first one is from 2023/2024, then 2022 and 2020, I think. I feel like I really let the ball drop on my resolution to draw more guys last year. 😅 Maybe I'll be better about it this year.

Hello #portfolioday!

I'm Kcie, a fantasy artist based in the PNW. I love drawing fairies, witches, mermaids, and all kinds of creatures!

I am very interested in doing illustrations for books, magazines, boardgames, etc. and I would love to do concept art.

Kiwi girl! I love her little winter outfit and kiwi friend. Any suggestions for what the next fruit girl in this series should be?

Another study for today. I miss Soup Curry so much! I think the picture is from my first time trying it in Sapporo. True perfection. ❤️❤️❤️

WIP - Redrawing my middle school art. I was more of a writer back then, so it was usually just character art to go with my stories. #wip #workinprogressart #redraw #kciemonk #kciemonkart

First drawing of 2025! A study of this photo I took ages ago.

I was playing around with brushes in SAI yesterday and drew this. I wanted to post something kind of spooky for Friday the 13th and my bf suggested a haunted, snowy forest. She is a Yuki Onna. 👻
