Floating leaf. Gracias @realgdt.bsky.social 🍁
The Creature from Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro. It shows the creature embracing himself into a warm hug. He wears a fluffy coat and it's shaped like a leaf, the one he gave to Elisabeth. He also has a small ember on his chest.

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast
digital fan art of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, at Jester and Fjord's wedding, sitting on a bench and kissing. Essek is a young-looking slender dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is artfully curled and pinned back. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his early forties, with auburn chin-length wavy hair and a full beard. they are both dressed in formal clothing, cream and light pink to match the colors Jester had picked for her wedding. Essek is wearing a silk shirt with bishop sleeves and a straight neckline that exposes his neck and a wide pearl choker; he also has slacks on, short enough to reveal his boots with metal toe-tips, as well as a coat made of thick matte fabric, with wide geometric shoulders and layered hanging sleeves. it is caught at the waist with a wide sash, the coat's two floral frog closures open. Caleb is dressed in form-fitting pants tucked into white boots, a leather strap around one of his thighs. he has a long-sleeved shirt on under a light pink sleeveless coat made of delicate floral brocade. there is a large white flower tucked behind his ear. both of them are wearing a bit of make-up: Essek has white lipstick on his bottom lip, and Caleb's eyes are accentuated with fiery red eyeshadow. they are sitting on a bench outside, leaning into each other, Essek placing a kiss on the corner of Caleb's mouth. Essek's left hand is guiding Caleb's chin towards him with a delicate finger, while his right is resting in Caleb's left. there is a flowering branch above them, soft pink petals lying on the white cobbled stones beneath their feet. the ocean is visible behind them, the setting sun shining right behind the couple's heads, illuminating them in warm orange glow.

Oathkeeper's hall for Draw Steel painted earlier this year.
Lighting a dark interior(but just barely) was definitely a challenge!

Portrait sketch commission on Vgen! (@/ConfudeTheMasses)

#illustration #art #commission #darkart #darkfantasy
portrait illustration of a character owned by client. She has purplish skin and long wavy white hair, and two horns on her head, and one of them is broken. She has pointy ears, and she's wearing withe and green clothes, on which it's pretty visible a necklace with two hands, a precious symbol for the character.

Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein is a true masterpiece and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, so it was only fair to tribute it with something of my own ~

I've been re-listening to Frankenstein on audio in preparation for the movie & felt compelled to start painting the monster. Sort of inspired by Del Toro's version, sort of just vibes. #wip
A screenshot of a Photoshop window, featuring a close up of a rough digital painting of an interpretation of Frankenstein's monster. They have pale greenish skin, long messy black hair, blue-black lips, and yellowish eyes. They were a hooded cloak dusted with snow

I was thinking about ears yesterday on twitter...
A drawing of three heads with pointed elf ears, the first with smaller ears and the second and third with larger ears. Hand-written text under the drawing reads, "This is good" "But this is my favorite"

Sir Julien Davinos, character from Critical Role Campaign 4. He has a devious smile while holding his sword ready to fight. A portrait study of a man with big curly hair, stylish mustache and a puzzled expression. A scene in a battlefield where a dragon knight with blue scales and intricate armor is protecting a fallen human warrior comrade from arrows with his shield. They are holding hands while the human smiles in relief. Yasha, character from Critical Role campaign 2. She is a woman with celestial blood and has big wings. Lightning is coming down from the sky, drawn to her huge sword. She holds a flower in her hand.

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

This includes BIRTH CONTROL, by the way. As well as a shitload of mood stabilizers. Do NOT eat "spooky" black foods and snacks. Just don't.

It's #BreastCancer Awareness Month now, so I'm reposting this to say: don't forget to touch your breasts and take care of your health. You only have the one.

What's interesting is that I was diagnosed with cancer in October, when there were pink ribbons and posters everywhere :D

On a journey toward a beautiful body, assess the risks realistically and be prepared for nature to respond.
I've always really wanted to like myself, so I spent many years on diets. In doing so, I damaged my health and got cancer.
