Share a smile!

Why are sinister ones always the most fun XD?

#traditionalart #sketch #drawing #darkart #dnd #alchemist #smile #ambrose
A pen drawing of a man reaching forward with a flask in his hand that seems to be bubbling and steaming. His arm leading back to his torso grows darker and darker up to his silhouetted face where a small smile and two grinning slits for eyes shine through. He wears a coat buttoned up the side around the shoulder and neck and the words “Drink up…” are written by his head.

Growing up I was a HUGE fan of The X Files. Anything related to spooky supernatural phenomenon was my jam 🥰. I haven’t seen it in a while but I don’t imagine the show has aged extremely well 😂.

A picture of agents Mulder and Scully from the X files. On the lower left portion of the image is Scully and in the upper right is Mulder.

Another art of my DND character Logan Foster in a moment of desperation. She slashed her hand to enter a kind of psychic berserk mode to save a friend who’d bee taken down.
#dnd #digitalart #digitalpainting #drawing #procreate
A picture of a woman lunging from left to right, her right hand with the knife in it is large as it’s close to the viewer. Her pupils are glowing and leave streaks in their wake and blood is trailing from the knife to the hand she cut to enable her psychic powers. White veins are beginning to scatter beneath her skin on her face and arm. In the background there are broken plants and disheveled decorations.

Around this time a very dear friend moved away and I wasn’t sure if they’d come back. Sometimes when emotions get to be too much, it helps to put them down on a page 💖.
#sketch #drawing #traditionalart #tearful #arttherapy
A wide picture of a floating head whose expression is mostly hidden by flowing, tendril-like hair. Their expression is somber and streaks of tears draw lines through their rosy cheeks and off their chin in tiny droplets.

Sometimes you draw for drawing’s sake and this was one of those times XD. I still think it turned out fun :).
#vortex #drawing #digitalart #procreate #digitalpainting
Black and light purple, chunky, scribbly, swirling lines converge on a woman at the center of the image walking forward. She’s also made of looping lines that seem to follow the contours of her body. Vibrant purple rim light highlights her hips, arms, and long, wild, curly hair. Her left arm is up and over her head as if shielding her from the sun.

The Captain
Drew this art of one of my DND characters back in 2021 from a campaign a dear friend of mine ran in Stars Without Numbers. She’s Logan Foster, a psychic whose powers were honed and trained for special military operations.
#dnd #character #psychic #digitalart #digitalpainting
The image is of a woman in a lunging position, hunched over with her arms splayed out behind her and to her side. Her pupils glow white hot and leave a haunting streak in their wake, veins of a similar hue branching across her arms and from underneath her hairline on her scalp. Telekinetic energy distorts the air around her, making her hair rise into the air. Red light shines from behind her casting most of her in shadow, posing a daunting figure.

I drew this one a while back, can’t remember exactly when. I have a myriad of stories churning in my head and this is one I have yet to do any actual writing for, but am still fond of the idea of a fairy/vampire duo 💖.
#vampire #fairy #digitalart #digitalpanting #procreate
An image of a half of a man’s blue and gray face on the left. His one revealed eye is red and his hair is long, white, and swaying to the right. A fairy is peeking out from underneath his hat at his ear, glowing softly. The man’s face seems stern, the fairy’s more neutral. Blurred snow crosses the foreground of the image.

Existence.
I drew this towards the end of 2025, I feel it often accurately represents what living in this world feels like. Wondrous and horrific all in the same moment.
#digitalart #digitalpainting #existence #procreate #darkart
An image of a woman under lit with warm, orange light. Her face is tilted back so the upper half from her nose and back is darkened by green shadow. Her pupils glow and have left light streaks down her face in their wake. Her hair and clothes are billowing as if hit by a great windy force or fire and embers swirl in front of and around her. Her expression is seemingly one of concern and horror. A closeup of the woman’s face.

More fan art from Meg Smitherman‘s book Thrum 🥰. Believe it or not the original reference for this was based off a pose I saw in a TikTok XD. Hope you all enjoy 💖.
#thrum #fanart #digitalart #procreate #digitalpainting
An Asian woman stands at the forefront of the image looking downward and slightly distressed. In the background is a man with long, wavy hair whose face is half cast in shadow. He looks at her with an eerie kind of longing with an odd red swirling in his eyes. His hand gently grasps her chin.

Weave. Another drawing from Inktober last year 🥰. Decided to put a Native American swing on it 💖.
#inktober #drawing #pen #ink #nativeamerican
The image is a drawing of a woman weaving her long, black hair into a braid. She has large, round earrings, multiple necklaces of varying lengths, arm wrappings, and a large poncho-like shirt on. She has a pleasant grin on her face.

A couple of random ink doodles I did back in October 2025 for Inktober that I never ended up posting. The top one says “Me in a few years, probably,” and the bottom says “Mustache.”
Really happy with how they turned out :D.
#art #traditional #pen #ink #drawing #darkart
A page with two drawings on it, the top image is of a silhouetted person with scraggly hair and a pointy tipped finger behind which a trail of stringy blood lingers behind. The bottom is of a nose and mustache curled at the very corners.

2026.

I will draw, even if it’s bad.
I will draw, even if it’s challenging.
I will draw, even if it’s been done before.
I will draw, even if it’s imperfect.
I will draw, even if someone else is better.
I will draw, even if I have much to learn.

I will draw because it’s fun.
Because I’m human.

Another from a bit ago.

A friend convinced me to try and paint something at least once a week. So that's gonna be my goal going forward for a lil bit. We'll see how long it lasts. Gonna start with birds, cuz they're easy XD if anyone has suggestions for a beginner artist, I would appreciate it <3

Birb. I really should try and paint more of these lil guys. There are no stakes here... No pressures, no judgement. Being scared and doing it anyway... Aaaa

Show me what you can do with just a pen! 🖊️

I’m seeing a theme of brooding handsome men here 😂.

#pen #drawing #sketch #traditional #art
A pen drawing of a silhouetted figure with smiling eyes and mouth reaching toward the viewer with a flask in his hand that’s ominously steaming or smoking, asking for them to “Drink up….” Portrait of a man whose face is half-covered in shadow. His hair is wily and eyes look sleepy. A simplistic drawing of a woman wearing a lace glove on her arms. She has short, sweeping hair, wears lipstick, and has two dangling earrings. An image of a woman with arms outstretched to the viewer. At her heart is a star, outward from which are rings of planets that cast shadows from its light. She has long, billowing hair and sinister eyes.

This is a commission I made for someone of a story the were writing at the time, I’m not sure if they ever finished it, but I had fun with the pose (despite his leg looking a little borked XD).
#commission #character #story #digitalart #procreate
The image is of a man jumping to the right of the viewer, surrounded by violent, swirling water which seems to be affected most by the glowing blade he has poised to strike behind his back. The expression on his face is furious, with wide eyes staring down at his target and bared, gritted teeth. He wears cloth and leather armor.

A 2021 repaint I did of a drawing a VERY long time ago called Master of Time 💖.

A drawing of a woman with clock faces in her swirling hair. Her pupils and irises are also clock faces and sparkles dance around the image.

Made an anim for a current DND campaign with little peeks into the mysteries behind our characters to the intro of Sleep Token’s Even In Arcadia :). Storytelling with friends is the best 💖. Hope you enjoy!

#Art
A digital painting of a portrait of a fancy half elf with a long sharp face thin face, dark slick back hair and flowing white eyes. His hair is inspired by magpies and though its primarily black the under colour is greens and blues and he has a white on the top left of his head. On the same side as his white streak he wears an eye patch at covered a scar, that splatters slightly across his forehead. He’s wearing a gold collar with a sun detailing, and a large fur coat with a golden necklace that drapes over the fur. The colours of the piece are earthy browns, blacks with the odd pop of gold, red, green and blue. The drawing was inspired by the Rembrandt paintings.
