Lots of new people here so I thought I'd reintroduce myself! Welcome everyone 💙

I'm Marissa, an illustrator who loves painting fantasy, nature, and cute animals 🐥🌱✨
Digital illustration of a scene from Lord of the Rings with Frodo and Gandalf as birds. Gandalf, a snowy owl, is wearing a wizard hat and robes and is driving a wooden cart through the Shire. Frodo, a yellow baby chick, is seated next to Gandalf and is looking up at him. Digital illustration of a purple, pink, and orange sunrise over a lake with silhouetted hills on the horizon line. The clouds form a large white rabbit laying in a loaf position above the sun. Digital illustration of a white duckling, inspired by Quaxly from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, swimming on blue water. A wave swirls around him, creating what resembles a pompadour of water on top of his head. Digital illustration of Wirt from Over the Garden Wall, except he is a bluebird. He is wearing a cone shaped red hat and a dark blue cape, and is holding up a glowing lantern with his wing.

i love frankenstein (2025) so much

#art
artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

If you need cute and unique gifts this holiday, consider a zine! And hey look, I have several right here (plus they're interactive and for all-ages)! Billionaires don't need your money but small shops do, even if you don't buy from me, I hope you'll support other artists. 🫶 shop.breelundberg.com
Photo of a pastel square blue zine that says "Lucky Buns, Roll for a Cute Bonus" on the cover with an illustrated D20 and a cute bunny face. Another copy is laying opened showing a "how-to" page and cute black and white art inside. Photo of a pastel green zine that says "Potion Shop" on the cover with an illustrated shop sign, it's laying on another copy that is opened and showing a cute illustrated goblin character preparing potions and saying "Greetings! Can I interest you in some magic potions? Feel free to browse my shelves!".

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.
A stylized illustration of a woman in profile with long flowy hair drawing back a bow, with a large eagle's head behind her. There are a lot of abstracted ink textures.

IT BIRTHDAY. I HAVE FENDED OFF THE TERRORS FOR 39 YEARS.

here's some recent art i'm proud of 🎉
#art #furry #bird
a square digital painting, showing a collection of growing flowers, leaves, and berries. the image has been abstracted, such that the colors are very saturated, and the shapes have been made more square and linear than is likely true. the main focus of the image is a collection of bright purple flowers, surrounded in the foreground by yellow-green leaves in sunlight, with purple vines between. dotted around are green and black collections of berries with blue reflections of sky. the background is blue-green shapes that suggest foliage. a digital painting of the popular meme showing ben affleck standing outside his door, smoking a cigarette and visibly exhausted, but he has been turned into an anthropomorphic duck a digital painting of a white parrot with yellow crest sitting on a branch. its back is to the viewer, but face can be seen in profile looking to the right. a patch of leaves in the upper left corner casts a shadow on its wings. in the background an abstract pattern of pastel leaves and branches can be seen. a digital painting showing the famous Hubble/James Webb image of the Pillars of Creation nebula, with its three tall fingers. the image has been heavily abstracted to be a collection of lines and polygons, and the colors have been saturated, such that it contains strong blues, yellows, and pinks. dots of stars can be seen throughout #FediArt #MastoArt #CreativeToots Emily L'Orange 🦆🍊 boosted Oct 1 kiff@panelinha.club emilylorange Kiff @kiff@panelinha.club Uma ilustração com duas figuras se abraçando e se inclinando para um beijo, contra um fundo vermelho.

What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else. a digital painting of a juvenile five-lined skink sitting on a decorative pumpkin. it is surrounded by vine and leaves. the lizard is striped lengthwise down its body in white and black, transitioning to a bright blue tail about halfway down. the colors have been very saturated, and the shapes are abstracted to be rigid angles. #art #M…

Unsurprisingly, procrastinating all day has not made the thing I need to do spontaneously resolve itself. Maybe if I procrastinate another half hour it will?

Not to mention all the time wasted just sitting there, dodging responsibilities while mindlessly scrolling through stuff you don’t care about, feeling too guilty to do the things you actually want to do.

Art is wild because you'll be stuck working on the same part over and over for hours and then you make one random extremely frustrated line and you'll be like "... wait... 👀" and it'll fix everything.

comparing yourself to other creative people can be helpful. Finding motivation/inspiration. But don't put yourself down because you're not someone else. It's not fair to you, bro. You can achieve your own version of success. Just do your thing. Keep swinging that axe. You're doing great.

It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
