I'm Nambroth, an artist that loves painting birds and fantasy critters. I currently work mostly in oil paint but also play with watercolor, gouache, and digital painting. I'm a very tired, nonbinary, weird, furry, chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent mess. I love bird and plant

An oil painting of an American crow with wings open and feet hanging, as if swooping down from above to land nearby. The scene is at the last light of sunset, with the sun half hidden below the horizon and glowing red. The sky is mostly cloudy with a few colorful breaks where the sunset sky peeks through, and below are rolling wooded hills in dark muted green. The watermark reads: copyright 2022 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com An oil painting of a Harris's Hawk, Parabuteo unicinctus, as seen from the side, flying with wings open. The hawk is a mix of browns, with russet on the wings and legs, a white tail with a dark brown band, and lemon yellow legs and skin on the face. The beak is grey. It is banking away from the viewer, turning away and to the right, with tail flared and body turned toward the viewer. The background is warm colored sunset or sunrise with a cloudy sky. The watermark text reads: Copyright 2019 Jennifer Miller featherdust dot com An oil painting of a white-breasted nuthach, standing on a soft looking moss-englufed rock. Nestled into the moss on the lower left is a jocose sallow moth, which is covered in cryptic pale green, white, and black patterns, giving it a remarkable resemblance to lichens. The nuthatch is facing left and looking downward. The lighting is strongly backlit at sunset, and the background suggests an autumn forest with the silhouettes of tree trunks. The watermark reads: Copyright 2023 Jennifer Miller featherdust dot com A digital painting of a wide format pre-dawn scene. The horizon is hilly and just starting to glow with a rainbow of early twilight, with some stars still out. Trees line a ridge on the right, with a white pine making a silhouette. A dragon is soaring down from above the ridge, wings wide. The dragon is blue with webbed and feathered wings, various tail and ear fans, and very subtle stars in the wings. Accompaning the dragon as a flock are thirteen crows. The scene is a bit haunting in the still pre-dawn morning way.

"The Eagle and the Dove", digital painting

Inspired by the song "Flying Dreams", from the movie The Secret of Nimh.

I sing this tune often to our blind parrot, but with made up lyrics (his name fits nicely into the song).
Digital painting of a golden eagle and a mourning dove, both with wings spread and soaring, against dreamy sunset clouds in peach and grey blue. The eagle has its head turned back to look at the dove, who is in turn looking up at the eagle, and both have gentle loving expressions. There is a length of red string held between the two of them, in each of their claws, flowing in the wind. The artist watermark reads copyright 2025 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com

A few of the artfight pieces I did last month, sketched and painted in CSP.

Su'Alagos the Galebird
Joris the turkey
Banana Bread the rhamphorhynchus
Jack the Vulture
Digital painting of a phoenix like mythological bird, it is green with red tips on some of its feathers. Flying in a dynamic banking pose, with ethereal green fire blasting from its open beak, it looks like a powerful entity. Moody purple clouds make up the background. The artist watermark reads Art by Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" 2025 featherdust dot com Digital painting of a smiling eastern wild turkey in profile. He has a typical look for a wild turkey, with bronzy iridescent feathers, a naked head of blue, white, and red, a dangling snood, large brown eyes, and bead feathers protruding from the chest. He has a pair of pointed cool guy triangle sunglasses on his beak and he just seems like a chill dude. The background are painted stylized waves and a sun, giving a surfer vibe. I wish I could show you the whole character because he's literally a turkey with human legs and it's so glorious. The artist watermark reads Art by Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" 2025 featherdust dot com Digital painting of a rhamporhynchus, which is a smaller sized pterosaur, flying in a cloudy sky. The rhamp has the color scheme of a modern day ruddy duck, with ruddy red overall, blue beak, tail tip, and leg patagiums, white cheek patch, black cap, and white dotting under its wings. Rhamps had a long tail and a toothy beak. This one in particular is inspired by the video game Path of Titans. The artist watermark reads Art by Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" 2025 featherdust dot com Digital painting of a fantasy creature that is a bit gryphon-like in appearance. Overall feathered with four bird legs, a long tail, wings, and a turkey vulture head with long pointed ears, dark blackish brown colors, and a happy expression. Jack the Vulture is sitting in a clear spot with a bit of vegetation around, and a blue sky behind. The artist watermark reads Art by Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" 2025 featherdust dot com

"Byzil's Phoenix" cockatiel, 8"x10" oil on panel, 2021

A memorial painting for a friend of her beloved cockatiel, Phoenix.
An oil painting of a pet pearl mutation cockatiel in profile. The cockatiel is facing left and has a soft friendly expression, with her cheek feathers covering her beak in contentment and an almond-shaped eye. Her colors are mottled grey and cream, with pale yellow on her face and an orange cheek dot. The pearl mutation gives her cream scoop shaped markings on her feathers. The background is blue and magenta with painterly brush strokes. The watermark reads: copyright 2021 Jennifer Miller featherdust.com

I have many little original watercolor and gouache paintings in my shop, if you're interested!

featherdust.storenvy.com/collections/...
A watercolor painting of an American crow profile, looking right, with vibrant colors and sparkly star burst shapes behind it painted with iridescent paints. A watercolor painting of a fantasy gryphon in profile, beak agape in a smile, with white, cream and brown hues and a grey and yellow beak. The eye is a subtle rainbow of colors and a thin blue crescent frames the gryphon's face. A gouache painting of a red dragon seemingly casting a spell, with blue ethereal flames glowing around its front claws and subtle rainbow smoke pouring from its mouth and nostrils. A gouache painting of a Bluejay on tan tinted paper. The jay is facing left and is vibrant blue and white, with black stripes and facial markings. A subtle rainbow outlines the bird.

"Dream Defender"
Digitally painted in CSP
A digital painting showing a large dark colored dragon with a trans pride glowing mane down its entire spine, perched on hilltop, wings spread wide, head lifted to breathe a stream of rainbow fire. As the rainbow fire expands upward, it becomes an aurora. A flight of smaller dragons flow around it in flight, in various colors and shapes, but all dark against the twilight of the day. The sun has set, or is about to rise, and the stars are showing in the sky, along with the moon. The art is not subtle in its support for queer people. The mood is defiant and celebratory at the same time. The artist watermark reads Copyright 2025 Jennifer Miller Nambroth, featherdust dot com A closeup of the prior image, showing details of the large dragon's head and neck, as well as a bit of the smaller dragons.

Some days you need the dragon, powerful and protective; some days you are the dragon, fierce and full of fire
A digital painting done in Clip Studio Paint. A black dragon rears back from the viewer in a powerful and defiant pose, readying its flame breath. The flame is a rainbow, gathering in the dragon's mouth and throat with streaks of rainbow light streaming. The dragon has a mane of glowing fire, flowing back and around in waves, in the white, pink, blue, brown, and black of the progress pride flag colors. The dragon's pose flows into a raised talon, ready to strike or defend, with wicked curved talons. Its eye is a radiant yellow. It has various spikes on its head, a curved beaky snout full of tooth like hooks, and forked horns. Its wings are spread and flared behind. The art is not subtle in its support for queer people.

"My Favorite Mornings" Digital painting (CSP)
I painted two different backgrounds for this as I enjoyed both skies for different reasons. A gift for my wonderful partner @eldarath.bsky.social
A digital painting of a fantasy scene. Two phoenix fantasy birds perch close together, facing one another. The one on the left, Nambroth, whomst is my phoenix fursona, is green with cream undersides, long ornamental tail feathers, grey legs, a grey beak with soft rictal feathers, and a cyan and purple eye. This bird is preening the forehead of the other bird, and has one wing lightly wrapped around the other bird's back. On the left is Eldarath, with yellow and brown markings against white feathers, a grey beak with soft rictal feathers, a green eye, a brown eye mask, grey legs, and long ornamental feathers on the tail and eyebrows. He also has a wing open and lightly draped over the back of the other bird. They are sitting on a dead black cherry tree branch that is absolutely covered in patches of blue grey lichens and little clumps of moss, and the bark is peeling and hanging from the branch here and there. Three non-fantasy birds are on the branch with them: a red-breasted nuthatch, a black-capped chickadee, and a ruby-crowned kinglet. A black and yellow bumblebee is flying below the branch, and a brownish banded tussock moth is clinging to the bark. In the backround, a flock of three crows is flying against a painterly cloudy sky, aglow in sunrise colors. The artist watermark reads Copyright 2025 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com A digital painting of a fantasy scene, identical to the prior image, but with a different sky. This sky is painterly with the warm blue of morning, faint wispy clouds to the right, and a low bank of clouds in sunrise colors at the bottom. A crescent moon is peeking through in the upper left.

Art making has been slow and weird lately (artist friends, you get it) but I was able to do some watercolor studies of my cockatiel recently. Each is on a sheet of 9"x6" watercolor paper. 🪶

If any of them catch your interest, they are available: featherdust.storenvy.com/collections/...

His crest is long and he's in a relaxed posture with his cheeks partially covering his beak. He was sitting and posing on my knee when I sketched him.

"Jocose" White-Breasted Nuthatch (and Jocose Sallow moth), 8"x10" oil on panel, 2023. 🪶

I found this cute Jocose Sallow this spring and knew I had to include it in a painting somehow, with some of my other favorite things (moss and birds)
An oil painting of a white-breasted nuthach, standing on a soft looking moss-englufed rock. Nestled into the moss on the lower left is a jocose sallow moth, which is covered in cryptic pale green, white, and black patterns, giving it a remarkable resemblance to lichens. The nuthatch is facing left and looking downward. The lighting is strongly backlit at sunset, and the background suggests an autumn forest with the silhouettes of tree trunks.

"Takoma Gryphon"
A gift for my friend Takoma, who wanted her lynx self gryphonized!
Digitally painted slowly over the course of much of 2024, in CSP.
A digital painting of a gryphon standing on a large rock in an aspen forest. The gryphon is based on a lynx and a ferruginous hawk, with brown, cream, and reddish markings, and is standing in a wings partially open pose, as if she just leapt onto the rock and is balanced. The ears are tufted and the eye is green with a subtle happy expression. The forest is aspens in the autumn, glowing in yellow and gold autumn colors with pale barked trunks picking up the surrounding colors. Some ferns and thumbleberry plants can be seen in the foreground, with leaves starting to turn orange and red, and a few pink berries visible. The scene is warm and peaceful with dust motes and small insects dancing in the light. The artist watermark reads: Art copyright 2024 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com
