✨ In their Clutches ✨
Here's my (slightly censored) illustration for the new project by @novamali.bsky.social on KS 🔥

There are 4 days left to order your copy of this rizo zine and some uncensored goodies!
#Art #Illustration
A risograph illustration using only black and red ink on a cream paper background of an octopus woman embracing a human woman. They are both very sticky, and the octopus woman is biting her companion's boob. It looks like a great time, but it has a cloth covering the fun parts.

Before vs. After of the antique steamer trunk I fixed up over the weekend!
A worn down antique trunk that is missing some of the wooden pieces and metal end joints. It has some white paint but it looks old and falling apart. Sitting in a garden bed full of leaves. The same trunk, but cleaned up to have black burlap, white wooden slats and shinier metal pieces. The garden bed is cleaned up and has some plants starting to grow.

One of our DnD players has a Bag of Tricks that can summon random animals. But because we are playing the Witchlight Carnival campaign, our DM flavored the animals to all be balloon animals. So I am custom sculpting and painting a little balloon animal minis as a gift.
#d&d #minis #art #painting
A miniature for DnD that is in the shape of a dog balloon animal form the mini is painted bright blue with white highlights and has red paint splattered on the face as if it were blood. The base is painted pink to represent the Trans flag. A miniature for DnD that is in the shape of a dog balloon animal form the mini is painted bright pink with white highlights and has pink and blue flowers on the bottom. The base is painted blue to represent the Trans flag. Two miniatures for DnD that are in the shape of a dog balloon animal. They are painted pink and blue to represent the Trans flag. Each mini is stuck to a popsicle stick for ease of painting because I am cool like that.

show me how you draw / paint women 💖

brother given the opportunity I draw nothing BUT women
A color illustration of a dragon-kin woman with deep blue skin, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, closed eyes, and long wavy hair that goes from indigo at the top to pale rosy-gold at the ends in a gradient. She is dressed in a dark blue gown with gold trim and accessories, as well as sheer blue cloth overlaid on top, and she's holding a large pale gold sword with blue roses and purple thorns decorating the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style graphic primarily consisting of gold celestial designs over an indigo base. A color illustration of a gorgon woman. She has pale and darker green skin/scales, thick dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapering tail/lower half. She is dressed primarily in a dark green bustier with gold trim and accessories, and is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of ivy and thorns on a black-to-yellow gradient. A color illustration of a tiefling/dragon-kin woman. She has teal skin, tall horns, darker turquoise hair bound in a braid, and a long curling tail. She is dressed in layers of turquoise, teal, green, gold, and red, and she is holding a wooden staff with a gold lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized clouds, flowers, and grass over a pink gradient sky. A color illustration of my exalted oc Emerald, a changing moon Lunar. She is a middle-aged woman with fair skin, emerald-green eyes, red eyeshadow and dark red lipstick, and long iridescent black hair partly held up by a golden comb. She is dressed in an elegant green gown with puffy sleeves and lots of gold and green jewelry, and a sheer green and gold floaty scarf. The background is a simple crescent moon behind her head over a green gradient.

🌟✨ The Star - Major Arcana ✨🌟
Hope, renewal and purpose for us all.
My card for @novamali.bsky.social "Starcrossed: A Queer Tarot".

There's less than a week left to support the project and help us fund it:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/nov...
A trans brown woman is sitting naked on the edge of a pond. She is naked and each of her arms holds a jug of crystalline water. She's pouring the content of one jug in the pond, the other on the shore. The water doesn't splash, but creates beautiful crystalline stars instead. More similar, but smaller, stars shine above her. It's a very peaceful and serene piece, painted in tones of purple, lilac and light blues.
