Yet another #WIP...
I used a 1900's reference for this, a little tricky to follow, but super fun!
The next in my series of modern age faeries, all affected by the worlds changing landscape.

'Guardian of the hill' 2026
Watercolour & Pencil on Fabriano.
Each hill has a different Faerie monarch to reign over the life that resides there. As these hills continue to disappear, the Fae lose their purpose, wandering around aimlessly for a place to call home

Faerie concept: 'pterophorus pentadactyla' moth.
I'm starting to experiment with my own faerie mythos, and thought I'd try and record a sketch I was doing...
Not got the hang of recording yet though, the angle is tricky!!

Happy New Year!
This is definitely the year that I stop overthinking my art. Stop dulling it down to make it more palette for the average consumer.
It's time to be true to what I want to create, however weird & colourful that may turn out to be ✨

I have been taking a rest, so I've got no new art to share... But have a gander at this #Throwback oddity from earlier in the year.
These were messed up panorama photos turned into #Surrealist characters!

All this talk about the GOTY has me thinking, what are my picks?
Can't just pick one, so many have shaped my thinking this year..
The OG Silent Hill 2&3, Unicorn Overlord, P4 Golden, Final Fantasy VII, Lies of P & Signalis.
I like a strong visual language, that's for sure.
What's your #GOTY?
