Hello~ I’m Nicole a.k.a. “Aortic Inkwell”

I’m an artist that loves to draw sad dreamy elves and silly plague doctor comics.

Check the link below for other platforms I’m active on as well as ways to support my work~

#Art #Commission #OC #Illustration
Five separate sample illustrations that describe me as an artist. Top left: a shy elf hiding behind the fur trim of their robe. Bottom left: a curious beaked creature. Middle: a horned and winged fiery prince looking to the viewer. Top right: an elf languishing in the snow. Bottom right: a magician floating midair as they cast a spell.

Wasted most of the day in the laundry room and of course the dryer breaks down with my load in it. Taking my $2 with it. :’3 Had to use the last of my quarters moving it to another dryer. Fun.

Some rough sketches on tweaking GRMLN/Lyn's leg shapes. 🎨

#robot #robotgirls #oc #ocsky #art #grmln
Two sketches of GRMLN/Lyn, my robot gal. Her design's mostly the same, but her leg shape is a little different and has more flow to it, showing an unarmored and armored version.

Waist up commission of Celes for a client on Ko-fi. 💛

#Art #Celes #FinalFantasy #ArtSky
Image is of Celes from the video game “Final Fantasy VI”. She is standing in three quarters view holding a sword in her right hand as her left is held out to hold a bird. The style is meant to be a tribute to Yoshitaka Amano.

Gotta clear a task so I need a friend. 👀 I play pretty much every day but my item box is almost always full so I don’t give gifts often.🥲💦

An androgynous being in an overly decorated outfit floats mid-air as they cast a spell. They’re tilting their beak like mask up to reveal their face.

Got the fingerprinting done for the DMV job today. Two hours altogether spent on the bus for something that took five minutes to do. 🥲 I’m so cold.

Been thinking of doing more of Somnia in this style because it’s cute. 😌

Somnia and Cesare in a cartoony style reminiscent of mid century modern animation.
