Will try not to be too annoying with this but repetition is the thing that gets your work out there, so just to WANG ON AGAIN, my Changing Landscapes zines are for sale via my website for £10 including postage (UK only).

Let’s make a deal…

Today’s #dailyart , technically started this one yesterday but I was totally beat. Clocking in at 3hrs on this one, it really ran over, just like driving probably shouldn't draw when tired 😴
Digital painting - night time, spooky atmosphere - lone figure stands at the mouth of a large cave with a torch raised, holding out a scroll, in the darkness of the cave we can just see a strange face and four gesturing arms attatched to some larger creature

Garden (Adventuring) Party 🍄

Been doing these guys as my warmup for the last few days, I do love a character lineup.
Autumnal character lineup of 3 garden characters - deathcap, a buff mushroom in barbaric leathers, flibbit zing, a frog magician wielding a spoon, and meadow, a mouse with a bow for shooting thorns.
