Hi #PortfolioDay! I’m Sapling, a genderfluid watercolor painter and narrative illustrator~ 🌱

I love body diversity, especially queer, intersex, and disabled characters!

Comms: tally.so/r/3NNaJ0

Also, I’m moderating a queer zine with an open call for artists (paid) at @taplingzines.bsky.social 🩷
A watercolor painting of two Congolese male twins posed for a photo together at a club. One is shirtless, with paint on his skin and medium length turquoise ombre twists that partially cover burn scars around his eyes and upper face. His skinnier twin has long dreadlocks with hair jewelry, no scars, and blue lipstick with gold eye makeup. The background is a foggy blend of purples and deep blues. A detailed watercolor painting of a dark-winged angel with brown skin and hair holding his injured lover on his lap. The injured angel has brown skin and hair, with damaged lavender wings and chest bandages. They rest together in the clouds, stained purple and yellow from a sunlight glow behind them. A watercolor of the angel Chamuel snuggling a jackalope-dog-like creature with turquoise fur and pink wings curled up on the ground. The picture is cozy, with a soft gradient of deep teal, periwinkle, and light pink. Paw print stars track along the background. An intricate watercolor painting of a reclining masculine figure with dark wings in barely any clothing, except stockings, underwear, and a translucently painted silky pink shawl. He has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and is crushing a rose onto his chest with a lifted and gloved hand. Giant pink orchids, painted with lovely realism, surround him. Some pink fabric falls to the right side, and detailed hand painted blue lace fills the background.

the art vs the artist’s hand ✨

A watercolor painting of two cupped hands, palms up in a du’a prayer style, above colorful tilework in turquoise, pink, yellow, and white. The left hand features henna, including various symbolism like triangles, swirled linquistic like patterns (although not in Arabic, it’s a personal spiritual thing), and symmetrical round patterns rising up the wrist. There is a silver wedding band too and the nails are short and unpainted.

Two male Congolese twins, posed in foggy purple club lighting, together for a photo. Nsimba is shirtless, with a blue glowstick around his neck. He has vibrant turquoise ombre two-strand twists, partially covering the burn scars on his face and around his eyes. Nzuzi, who Nsimba is resting his hands on, is making a peace sign and has a cute muted expression with blue lipstick and gold eyeshadow, while in a white mesh shirt with pearls. His hair is in partially tied back dreadlocks. Both of them have bright purple highlights on their skin.

#Gabriel is genderfluid and he loves wearing a mix of clothes! You can usually find it in either:

A skirt, with a crop top or sweater

Or a casual baggy t-shirt or hoodie, with shorts or sweatpants.

#OCLore
A digital doodle of Gabriel, a freckled Filipino with short curly brown hair, posed with an arm lifted in a yellow cropped sweater, pink pleated skirt, and blue shoes with ankle high white socks. There’s a hint of makeup on his face.

#ColoredSketch - Lyknos

Once again, a saint. Nothing weird about him.

#ArtSky #OCSky #DigitalArt #WarHammer40k #WarHammerOC #MicahsOCs
digital sketch, a human angel wearing a golden mask, a priest's white cossack, red stola with gold embroidered iconography of the Emperor on the golden throne and the Aquila above it. He has a golden Aquila attached to a red rope hanging from his belt as well as another golden Aquila on his chest as the open closure of his cossack. He holds a gold incense burner hanging from a chain with one hand. He looks serene but dangerous. Halo and pure white wings behind him.

#ColoredSketch - Rusalka

Decided to redesign my mermaids and lean more into the uncanny creature look I have been enjoying.

digital sketch, a mermaid out of water in a pose similar to a seal as they push themselves up with their arms. They are colored like a European perch, green with dark stripes, white pectoral fins, all others orange. They have long dark hair.

These two 🧡
Illustration of two men with long hair embracing. They wear simple tunics and stand with their foreheads touching. The elf on the right wears a flower crown on his long black hair, and he holds a bouquet over the shoulder of the red-haired fey on the left. Colors are soft and reminiscent of fall. Characters are from Alakotila's comic Spidersilk.

They can NEVER replace us. The shitmachines can't even exist without our work. Artists are the only real essential ingredient to Art, never forget that.

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Important!! I’ve noticed my posts get 10% of the engagement that they used to, and this is probably why!
astridoverthere.bsky.social I said abolish and I fucking meant it @astridoverthere.bsky.social · 4d
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Arte digital de uma bruxa e uma vampira sentadas lado a lado no chão de uma sala. A bruxa está cochichando algo no ouvido da vampira, que ri. A bruxa é uma mulher negra, com cabelo crespo em um volumoso corte redondo, decorado com uma flor amarela; ela usa um brinco de folha, está segurando uma caneta na mão direita; tem piercing na sobrancelha e uma tatuagem de uma flor blindeye no braço direito; está usando uma camiseta baby look raglan da Aya Nakamura e shorts jeans. A vampira é uma mulher branca, com cabelo cor-de-rosa preso em um rabo-de-cavalo; ela tem piercings na orelha e no queixo, usa um brinco com uma corrente e uma cruz Ankh, camiseta larga da Mariah Carey e shorts jeans. Elas estão sobre tapetes e rodeadas por almofadas; diante delas há uma mesa de chá na qual há um mapa aberto com várias marcações. Sobre o mapa há várias canetas, dois livros e um celular; há um pixie diante de uma bola de cristal que parece tentar usá-la para se comunicar com alguém; do outro lado há um copo de caipirinha pela metade, que é bebida por um pixie, com um canudo; do outro lado do copo há um pixie bêbado sentado. Atrás do casal há uma estante cheia de livros de antropólogos, uma planta com folhas grandes e flores amarelas, uma cortina com estampa geométrica. Do outro lado é possível ver parte da roda de uma bicicleta. Uma porta corrediça de vidro aberta dá para uma sacada na qual há vários vasos de planta decorados com desenhos geométricos, e um com o céu diurno desenhado. Há várias plantas, inclusive uma trepadeira se enroscando no guarda-corpo, e é possível ver parte de uma casa mais à frente.

I’m so tempted (when I’m feeling better and caught up on current projects) to make some Hades fan art to sell.

Like limited watercolor giclée prints of the gods/titans/entities of the game~

A hot day ☀️

#OC #art #ocsky
An illustration of my original character, Viridian, depicts him with fair skin, freckles, a scar on his nose bridge, and a scar on the right side of his neck. His green eyes and black hair with white streaks in braids are prominent features. He wears a dark green skin-tight sleeveless shirt and looks towards the right with a somewhat exhausted and confused expression while he is licking his teeth. Sweat drips from his face and arms, and his hair is tied into a low ponytail hanging on his right shoulder. Scars are visible on his arms. On the right side, there is a little chibi illustration of him. The background is a pale yellow paper texture with some orange/yellow frames behind him.

I love talking about disability impacting sex drive so here’s some #OCLore! #nsfw

Gabriel has HIV and one of his med side effects makes it difficult to get an erection (plus a post-illness TBI). It’s difficult bc he has a horny husband xD

Nzuzi is on beta blockers that lowers his libido a bit!
