Hello! I'm Renee/EnsembleofWolves and I draw vaguely fantasy creatures (many birds, wolves, and dragons) in vaguely fantasy settings! I'm also working on a fantasy novel featuring some of these characters and settings. It's slow going but follow along for occasional updates? :D
A watercolor and ink drawing of a pale blue winged wolf looking down into a soft pink lake with her wings raised. She is standing on blue-green grass and there are vague brown buildings in the background. A watercolor and ink drawing of a gray bird with red crest, chest, and flight feathers standing in a grassy field. The bird has a determined expression and the grassy field is spring green, with occasional tiny pink flowers and dark green bushy plants. The sky is light blue with some white clouds. A watercolor and ink drawing of a red bird with golden chest and flight feathers, flying through a purple-pink-orange sunrise, over purple mountains, with a large yellow sun. A watercolor and ink drawing of a bird loosely inspired by an osprey perched on a branch overlooking an aqua-green lake. The bird has brown wing, crest, and tail feathers, with a brown mask around its eyes. The rest of his feathers are white. He is surrounded by fluffy green trees.

yuribird as a card from tales of kizna 😌

#myart #fe3h #yurileclerc
Yuri Leclerc from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, pre-timeskip. He is seen knee-up at a 3/4 angle, holding his sword horizontally in front of him with an arm extended straight out in front. The background is an abstract violet to magenta gradient with various chains coming from the sides and converging behind his body. Surrounding the illustration is a gold frame with various swirly flourishes, gold text on the top left saying "UR+", the crest of Aubin on the bottom left, and five stars on the bototm right, giving the effect of a rare trading card.

i miss him

#myart #talesofsymphonia #talesof #kratosaurion
Full body art of Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia, standing looking slightly to his right, with his right side slightly turned toward the viewer. He his holding his hands up in front of his chest, using his right hand to pull the glove off of his left. Cel shading is used to define his arm and leg muscles even in places where it is completely nonsensical for them to be visible.

i mean. i couldn't see the pose for #TrueRefDT003 and not draw the seal of origin scene from the opening

he's just standing there...... menacingly #myart #talesofsymphonia #talesof #kratosaurion
Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia seen from a low angle, looking down at the viewer as he holds Flamberge with both hands on the hilt in front of him, tip of the blade resting on the ground. The background appears vaguely mossy or leafy, and there is a grayish-brown stone behind him.

3-day-late happy birthday to my most dearest darling beloved Hana banana <333 #myart #fireemblem #fireemblemfates
Hana from Fire Emblem Fates sitting on the ground, looking determinedly into the distance as she holds her katana. The colours of the trans flag gleam off of her katana. One leg is folded under her while the other is in front of her, knee bent. The foot under her is conveniently covered by some of the fabric from her outfit, while the other foot is cropped out so the drawing ends at the ankle. Cherry blossom petals drift in the air around her.

I learned a whole lot when putting together this tutorial about bird wings. Feather placement and how they attach, where the bones are situated, different types of feathers, all sorts.

A sketch of The First Flame, a phoenix born from the ignition of a universe's first star, from @palehorntea.bsky.social. Thanks again! :)
The First Flame, a stellar phoenix born from the ignition of the first star. It has plumage that shimmers and shifts like the surface of the Sun, flame and plasma trails from its wings, and it has a fancy pheasant-like tail.

A pencil and colored pencil sketch of a noodle creature with a yellow beak, purple crest and chin feathers, purple wings, and a big fluffy/feathery/fiery purple/blue/yellow tail. She is coiled with her wings open and her eyes closed, basking in the warm glow of her fire tail behind her. A watercolor sketch of a bird with bright red-orange feathers with golden flight/breast feathers. She is in a flying pose, eyes open and talons outstretched. A watercolor illustration of a beaked noodle creature with purple wings and a fluffy feathered purple tail, flying up into a sky of warm orange, purple, and golden clouds. Below her on the ground, and what she's flying away from, is a barren landscape of snarled brown trees and brown/green dirt. A watercolor illustration of a dragon-y wolf floating through dark space, curled into a circle, placing her paws on empty space. Radiating from her are rings: a bright pink ring that also looks like wings, and two fainter green and pink rings.

Digital flat-colour drawing of a Wooloo seen from the front. It is tossing its head to the right with eyes closed and a haughty expression on its face and is in the middle of taking a dainty step with its front right foot. Digital art rendered in a painterly style of a Kratos Aurion tsum tsum seen from the front, being squished from above by a finger pushing down on his head. Headshot of Timerra from Fire Emblem Engage. Her hair is put up in an afro puff using a hair tie decorated with the large bobble accessories from her original design. Her head is tilted a bit to the right and she is sticking her index fingers into her cheeks, making a funny kissy face with her lips. Sheena Fujibayashi from Tales of Symphonia pictured bust-up from her left side. She is seen in profile looking slightly upward, holding her right arm up to the right side of her face. In the background, she is surrounded by abstract blobs of pale pink and the blurry shape of a dark tower stands behind her against a blue sky.

Tharja from Fire Emblem Awakening seen from behind on a diagonal, left side closer to the camera. She is looking over her shoulder at the viewer with a neutral expression. Her left hand is raised and holding a glowing green flame that casts green light back on her. The background is a solid dark purple.

My art in 2024, a recap! One piece of art for each month it was made. A couple months were only small studies. I wish I had done more but I'm still happy with what I did do. :)

#watercolor #gouache #traditionalart #fantasyart #2024artwrap
All 12 months with one piece of art representing each month it was painted in. Wood dragon, gryphon, kind tides orange dragon, a forest and tree stump study, a praying-mantis inspired dragon, the mountains from Echo of Moraine (the dragon didn't fit into the small frame), a dragon and northern lights, rocks on a lake study, gray dragon rising from the mists, red fire dragon and waterfall, yellow dragon creeping through the forest, and a red dragon perched atop rocks above water.

Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia waist-up against a solid medium orange background. He is facing the viewer with an intense look on his face and appears to be in the middle of speaking. His right arm is raised and holding out Flamberge, offering it by its hilt to the viewer. Flamberge is glowing, lighting him from in front.

In winter, I have bird feeders up, but the last 10-ish years I've been planting more native plants out in my yard each year. Witnessing the interactions between these plants and wildlife has been so joyful, and full of constant learning. This winter, tree sparrows taught me something new 🪶 (thread):
Photo of an American Tree Sparrow, spizelloides arborea, perched on the dried seed heads of wild bergamot or bee balm, monarda fistulosa. The sparrow is mottled browns, with grey on its face and a cute russet colored eye stripe and hat. It's precariously balanced on the delicate brown seed head, looking down at it. The background suggests more dead plants in a snowy winter scene.

"My Sun, My Leaf" Digital painting.
A scene from "Shadow Sun" by Jess Owen. @authorjessowen.bsky.social
Suijen (dragon) and Ren (Gryfon) in a beautiful moment of flight together.

From the second book in her series "Rise of the Dragon Star", you can find it here: www.amazon.com/Shadow-Sun-B...
A fantasy scene that was digitally painted, of two sapient creatures. Above is a long dragon named Suijen, with blue scales, golden white feathered wings and mane, long silver antlers, and flowing barbels from his gentle looking face. He is flowing in flight, with his mane seeming to form into droplets of water, wings in a dynamic pose, and one foreclaw stretched in a welcoming way to the gryfon. The gryfon (or gryphon) is named Ren, she is smaller than the dragon, and we see her slightly below Suijen, flying toward him with both foretalons extended in a friendly way. She is overall bluejay blue, with yellow beak and foretalons, and a tawny cat back legs, and a long tail that is feathered the whole way. There are yellow leaves blowing through the air around them, and the scene is both bright and hopeful as well as moody and brooding, as towering clouds from what appears to be a wildfire darken most of the sky. The sun peeks out above the smoke clouds, perfectly framed between the antlers of the dragon. This is a powerful scene in the book if you are interested in reading it. The artist watermark reads: art copyright Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust.com A cropped version of the previous image, to show detail. In this crop we can see more details of the front half of the dragon Suijen, and part of the gryphon Ren. Suijen is smiling with a bright and gentle expression, as if full of wonder, his violet eyes shining. It is harder to see Ren's face. She looks happy to see her friend, but also worried.
