A two story building, painted off-white with navy blue trim stands to the left of a one-story stucco-covered shop that once appeared to have been a convenience store and deli, but is now directing patrons to the "Surf Hut" Surfing Supplies and rental store next door. AT the front door of the two-story a wizard, happy and waving appears to in high spirits for his surf-shop. A couple of palm trees frame the taller building, as well as a large leafed plant. There's an ice machine in front of the one-story building and next to it is a drinks vending machine advertising "WIZ COLA" and the machine is filled with various bottles, drinks, and elixirs. To the right of the machine is a trash can and next to that is a board with information about the beach down below the berm that makes up this shop's location. To the right of the board is a souple of signs indicating that swimming is permittable at the beach far below. A handful of beach umbrellas can be seen far below. The water is blue and welcoming with waves rolling into shore. Behind the Buildings is a parking lot which currently holds a small yellow car and an older looking camper van from which two bikini-clad witches had hopped onto their brooms. The first witch holds her broom parallel to her body, gently lifting off in her pink and periwinkle swim attire, her matching sandals and hat are stark against the billowing clouds in the sky. The second witch has a surfboard (a rather small one) tucker under her right arm. She appears to have landed on her broom, ready to zoom down to the water. A vivid Blue horizontal landscape, for Sci-fi TTRPG "Stations and Starships" by Frigid Pigeon Inc. The central focus of the piece is a tall wedge'shaped ship half in the water and half above. On its large dorsal wing are two smaller "fin" wings to which sails are attached - one in full sheet to the wind. Around this ship in the distance are other ships, similarly designed all with different configurations of wings and fins and flying flags of all colors. Further back a sort of docking station above the roiling ocean below, from which a distant ship is leaving. In the sky far above another planet and its moon can be seen through partial cloud cover. Below the waves of the planetary ocean is teeming with all manner of life -- most notably large deep blue/purple whale like creatures that swim along side the starships floating in the water. There are also schools of fish and smatterings of jelly-fish-like creatures stretching into the far distance of the sea. A spread from my fantasy western, Hexslingers. On the left main character Katie nervously exits the scene of and an onlooking crowd. She grabs her pointed tan-colored witches hat from the ground, knocked off her head by a spell - which as also left a hole in the main body of the hat. She stuffs it onto her head and mounts her blue spectral horse, telling another figure "Doc" Thorn Willoughby, that it's "time to go." He agrees with an "mmhmm" On the right a splash page featuring a large wooden trestle attached to a cliff upon which sits a western style town. at the tip a crowd is hustlin and bustlin, all while screaming, "We're free! Justus [an evil deputy] is dead! Down with Mancers!" below heading down the path we see Katie and Doc making their escape. With three inset panels we see Katie speaking to Doc. She says, " Doc... frightful sorry 'bout yer arm" to which doc replies, "Don't fret. When we make camp I'll give it a look" Full Candlenights 2024 Poster by Matt Aytch Taylor (that's me) From left to right: Justin McElroy, Clint McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Griffin Mcelroy having a cozy rest beneath a heatlamp-esque wing of Terry the Nondenominational Gift Delovery Dragon. The boys are enclosed in the dragon, who is curled up like a cat in a dug-out snow-bank. Justin, Travis, and Griffin and all holding steaming mugs of tea or cocoa. The snow around them has a purplish glow from the orange of Terry, while off in the distance the blue of a winter's night settles over downtown Huntington, West Virginia. Art by Matt Aytch Taylor The stars in the sky and blocky 5 point stars and a few 4 point diamonds. Above the guys and Terry are the words, "JOYOUS CANDLENIGHTS 2024" The image is watermarked with the McElroy family Logo - don't download it and print your own go buy it from the link in the post, it benefits the Harmony House which is a great cause!

obsessed with the Sadie Adler Abigail Roberts ship
A series of sketches of Sadie Adler and Abigail Roberts from Red Dead Redemption 2. Clockwise starting on the left: Sadie and Abigail kissing passionately. Abigail is pressing into Sadie and holding Sadie's face with her left hand. Pose was referenced from art by @hattersarts.bsky.social Abigail Roberts, looking back at the viewer, her brow furrowed and her lips parted slightly. Abigail Roberts, one section of her blouse hanging off her left shoulder, slightly exposing her chest, her right hand on the other side. Her head is tilted up, eyes narrow with want, her bottom lip bitten. Sadie Adler, looking a little sad. Sadie Adler resting her head in Abigail Roberts' lap, they stare into each other eyes, each blushing. Abigail is brushing a piece of hair out of Sadie's face.

A digital painting of an older man, complete with soft gray hair and a coarse looking beard/moustache thats still hanging onto its darker brownish grays. A scar runs through his left eye that's a plain off-white, pupil circled in shimmering gold and its centre a flat white. He has a circlet style halo, hinting at what he really is. On his face he wears a pair of half moon glasses that are reminiscent of ones made in the mid 1800s-early 1900s. A digital portrait of a blonde haired man that has a small section of his hair shaved off. He wears dark purple iridescent lipstick and dons shiny, equally iridescent eyeshadow + eyeliner. His jewelry consists of a highly polished collar style necklace and long silver drop earrings; both have a red and purple gem respectively. He is lit in high dramatic golden hour lighting, which illuminates his hair and makes it appear almost transparent in some sections. A digital painting of a PoC character. He has shorter locs tied back with a gray hair tie. He has a big smile on his face, appearing cheerful. There are two identifiable markings on his face, two small moles; one under his right eye and one above his upper lip on the left side. He has dark brown eyes that both match his hair. His wardrobe ( what is visible ) consists of an off-white top that has a low neckline. A headshot of a black character with his locs tied up in a bun style atop his head. He's wearing wide necked shirt that dips down in the centre ( black dashiki with simple gold embroidery ). His eyes are a bright, shimmering gold with a black pupil which matches the jewelry on his ears and in his hair. The pair of collar style necklaces he wears are a highly polished gld, matching the rest of his jewelry.

Ballet [1/4]
A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions. The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky. The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster. The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

Last day of summer 💋☀🌊
Sunni (the artist's siren oc, or original character) poses on the beach in a landscape digital art image. She is completely horizontal with the ocean and a bright blue sky behind her. She has water arms, legs, and neck, and wears a cream bikini. She also has tan skin and green eyes. The piece is in a pinup style and would look great as a desktop wallpaper!
