Felt cute and turned my birthday selfie into an Art vs Artist! Got to show off my new elf ear cuffs. :3 Had to cheat to fill all the art out on this, so technically only one piece is from this year, but that's just the kind of year it's been...🫠

I hear it's ok to ask for re-shares on your bday?😘 I'm officially old today! Have some of my fave pieces I've done over the years. Here's to exploring more of my fave subjects and experimenting with writing/comics in the next year to come!
#fantasyart #illustration #ttrpgart #dndart
Artorias, the Soul Knife Rogue. A young dark-haired, blue-eyed rogue smiles subtly while a psychic energy dagger floats above his outstretched hand. Kalim and Eidy from The Whaler Girl by Sam Hogg. A painting of a redheaded woman holding a horned skull mask as she is embraced by a masked pirate shrouded in danger and mystery. Gold gingko leaves grow around her. The image is stylized and mimics the pose of Klimt's "The Kiss". A storm brews while an intense looking man with brown skin, blue eyes, and black hair stares across the edge of a dagger blade encrusted with gems. His nomadic rags hide his status as a prince signified by this royal blade. Digitally painted. Title is "Oathbound" by Angela R. Sasser. A woman with signs of welts on her tattooed back touches the marble and gold carving of Kushiel, the Angel of Punishment, who she is divinely linked to. White doves fly through a candlelit interior accented with red roses. A fan cover inspired by Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey illustrated by Angela r. Sasser.

I've not had a lot of art to share while Life has been Life-in' real hard. Thought it was time for a personal post about it! Things are currently looking up, but they've been intense for a while.

Busy, busy with convention setup this week before the con starts on Fri., but had to share part of my signage upgrade I’m super proud of.

Having fun with a new photo prop! Couldn’t leave this skull planter behind after he was the last one on discount.

I’ll find any excuse to buy weird junk if I think it could be a good bit of set dressing for art flat lays. 👀

That feel when you find the perfect frame for a painting while you're out bargain hunting! Now to see if I have the perfect matboard to make a good double mat for the final touch to present this piece.

Hey artists! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!

Here's a dark fairy drawing from a few years ago that I still really like. The original drawing exists somewhere in the front matter of someone's ltd. edition gold foil Birthstone Goddesses coloring book. May she guard your home from moths!
This dark fairy has no interest in beautiful things. Only delicious crunchy moths and butterflies. Their wing dust is so scrumptous, like sugar and salt! Drawn ink ink with grayscale marker details.

A watercolor painting of a goddess with celestial moon and sun themes with a blue and gold color palette. She represents the sapphire birthstone with the morning glory birth flower for September. The painting takes great influence from Mucha’s Art Nouveau style. This painting is 10x20 inches, watercolor and ink with 22k gold accents. The Lady of September painting created in the Art Nouveau style framed in muted gold and framed on a minimal white stucco wall. The painting hangs above a desk with a gold plate and plants on the top.

A Wheel for the Birthstone Goddesses! This series pushed me to explore so many palettes I wouldn't have explored on my own, as I naturally tend towards purples and reds. I got to explore a whole world of greens thanks to Emerald, Peridot, & Aquamarine birthstones.

Lesbia and her Sparrow, Edward Poynter, 1907.
Lesbia is seated in a classical setting, tenderly interacting with a sparrow perched on her arm. She is portrayed as a classical beauty with a serene expression, wearing a rich purple robe and a wreath of violets in her hair. The bird, perched gently on her outstretched arm and held in her hand. The scene is set in a lush, verdant environment with a marble bench and classical architectural elements.
