For the 2025 #artvsartist!!! It me!

It’s been an incredible year transitioning from professional illustrator to #tattoo artist. Nearly 19 months tattooing now, and I’m still learning so much, and meeting so many incredible people. I’ve never felt so grounded and happy with what I do.

EEEE!

ANGRY

See this is the rich-stay-rich shit and poor-stay-poor shit I just can’t stand

Sometimes you meet some wonderful new friends at the congested mirror in the club. ;3

Been working on this oil painting for a couple years now and I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. At over 4 feet in one direction it’s my largest painting and I’m SO HAPPY WITH HOW ITS GOING

Happy #portfolioday! I'm an amateur artist, mostly just obsessed with Dragon Age and BG3.
A woman stands in a sculptor's studio, walking away from a statue of Viago from Dragon Age the Veilguard. She stares down at a dagger pendant held in her hand, her expression serious. A skylight casts moonlight down on her. Done for the Rara Avis zine to go with the fanfic Griefs Like These by writer CrabsWithSticks. A digital painting. The skeletal lich version of Emmrich from Dragon Age the Veilguard looks lovingly at a qunari woman standing at his side looking content. They hold hands, surrounded by glowing green wisps in a graveyard. They wear fancy formal clothing and there are flowers in her hair. A bust painting of a tiefling looking at the camera with with a sly smile. She has lavender gray skin and blue hair. Glowing music notes float through the background. This character belongs to Bsky user Rookstar091. A painting from Dragon Age Inquisition. A qunari man sits at a desk doing paperwork by candlelight. Dorian leans over his shoulder and holds his hand. They look at each other fondly

Two ttrpg party illustrations for @davering.bsky.social and friends! Two different settings, two different vibes, two different mediums, two and a half years apart.

(Most recent on the left, props to anyone who can say what restaurant they're at ;D )

The border features various menu items. A poster style digital ttrpg party illustration where each character is framed by the windows of a gothic mansion.
