I love whimsical fantasy art and children's illustration🖤✨🪐🌙

A witch girl with a mushroom hat and a little fluffy kitty familiar. A white unicorn on a hill surrounded by brush. There's a white tree behind the creature all below a starry sky. The Queen of Air and Darkness, the Arch fay of the Unseelie Court. An ominous figure constructed with wings and smoke. A jolly little albino tiefling in a motley leotard and a mandolin in hand.

I think by now everyone here knows I really admire her as an artist, but truly this book is so full of wonderful secrets. Every moment of quiet is still underscored by subtle movement - real stillness being rare - creating the illusion of a sound landscape all around. Categ.: comics you can hear!!

You can still pre-order Savage Strangehollow, my fourth book all about the vast enchanted forest of the same name. This is the Odious Snarf, it might look cute, but it is deadly poisonous. #floraandfauna #naturalhistoryfantasy #fantasyart #artbook #creaturebook #creatures
a slug like creature with no mouth sitting on a blue mushroom. It has various growths out of the back of its head and tiny beady black eyes and a nobbly texture all over its body. It is a bright reddish pink.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.

My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

I saw this illustration by @annafollies.bsky.social on Tumblr today and instantly lost it. Still missing Fergus every day. 💔 www.tumblr.com/annafollies
Illustration of a slender, light skinned woman lying on her side in bed with one arm outstretched. In the curve of that arm there is a white, translucent image of a cat as if it is a snuggling ghost.
