I took these photos for some of the characters of my novels that I'm working on since last year. I want to draw them at some point. :'D
Since there is no reason to keep the photos secret, I wanted to share them with you. 🌺

All 12 photos are available here: www.patreon.com/posts/free-c...

Some OCs routine up to Valentine’s day 💕

They’re literally a personification of the “sharing the bed with my cat” meme qwq♡

#art #oc #ocsky #demon #vampire

An illustration of a vampire man and a demoness woman sleeping on a double bed with a green blanket crumpled at the edge. They are both lying on the blanket. The vampire, Askold, lies straight on the right side of the bed with his hands crossed on his chest. He wears a dark gray robe belted at the waist. The demoness, Hlinn, is sprawled across most of the bed with her arms spread wide. She has thrown her leg over Askold and is sleeping deeply

The request was "something masc, a blade or other shiny object, gloves" and my brain immediately went "Ah, Vergil from Devil May Cry" for some reason. :'D

Cover art I painted for George Mann's novel Star Wars: Tears of the Nameless

Two young male jedis in austere high republic uniforms with sharp gold lines have lightsabers drawn and look pensive as 3 4 legged alien creatures with squid tentacle snouts approach. The scene takes place in the ruins of a temple with intricate stone work and gold embellishments

Just finished this moody, vengeful woman. Maybe she didn't get a #valentine #ArtYear #art TraditionalArt

An acrylic painting of a woman with long strawberry blond hair. She is wearing a dramatic, long royal blue dress with a gold trim at the v neck. She is holding a golden goblet, and has a moody look, gazing slightly upwards to the left. Behind her is a window and greenery.

🌟Fan Art Frieren 🌟

C'était méga dur comme palette, pour avoir un effet soleil couchant et avoir du blanc sans utiliser de blanc, du noir sans utiliser de noir... J'ai galéré mais je crois que le résultat est là !

Attention au zoltraak

Photo d'un dessin en cours. C’est une esquisse représentant le personnage Frieren, une mage elfe. Sur le dessin, elle semble lancée en plein mouvement, brandissant son sceptre. Le fond ressemble à un ciel de soleil couchant, très jaune dorée, orangée. Les vêtements de Frieren sont en couleurs : elle porte une cape et une tunique blanche avec un liseré doré, un pantalon noir et des bottes brunes.

Daily Character Design Challenge Day 24

#dailydnddesigns #characterdesign #dnd
Pose reference from
@jookpubstock.bsky.social

Just for fun-- I added a side by side of the character design from last year!

A drow woman stands with her hand up. She is dressed in a knee-length navy gambeson with slits around her thighs to allow her freedom of movement. She is wearing brown leather armor around her neck, chest, shoulder and arm, with metallic inlaid details with star motifs. She has a brown leather vest with two belts which hold scrolls, and she has thigh high leather boots with steel armor plates on them and steel toes. Her right hand has a brown leather glove to her mid-bicep. She is wearing a navy hood, and behind her is an asymmetrical cloak, navy on the outside and lavender on the inside.

Digital painting of a man kissing a merman on the cheek and they are surrounded by fish. The illustration is almost abstract, with a color palette of vibrant and dark blues, and pale grays.

Digital painting of a merman, being carried by a man in a mech-suit. The merman looks frail and hurt, and he is in the gentle, giant grasp of the iron hands of the heavily armored man. Both characters have a weary expression, with tears pooling in their eyes.

Digital painting of two mermen sitting on a dock by a river. The merman is half submerged in water while leaning on the legs of the other, who's sitting on the dock.

Digital painting of a man and a merman, sitting on a window by the beach. The merman is cupping the human's cheek and they are sharing a longing glance at each other.
