Digital painting of a woman standing with her leg extended and holding a vase. She has thick arms and thighs and soft skin speckled with cellulite. Her auburn hair curls and falls down her back. She wears a soft green blue tunic that ties as her waist and falls to her ankles. it shows off much of her skin. Transparent liquid speckled with stars pours from the vase. Stars seem to fall up and around. She stands atop the starry water, seeming to float. A crescent moon frames her profile. Close up of her face and arms. Close up of her thigh and foot.

[ happy halloween ] decided to forego day 31 of inktober and finish this painting instead because it sparked joy and i needed that <3 so, here are some witchy vibes for halloween - do you think she's a good witch or a bad witch? hehehe
Digital painting of a witch standing among gnarled, winding trees entirely bare of their leaves. She stands surrounded by fog creeping in at her feet, and it sparkles in a mystical way. The sky behind her is a spooky orange, speckled with stars. Bats fly away in the distance. She poses with her arms bent and magic sparkles from her fingertips. A large, dark green witches hat sits atop her curly blonde hair. She looks directly at the viewer. Her dress has long, billowing sleeves, a corset, and multi-layered skirts -- all in a deep, forest green color.

An elven woman crouches beside her white lionness companion. Her white hair flows around her shoulders and she wields a dagger raised in her right hand, while her left arm rests on her lion. Dressed in purple and black leathers and adorned with crystals at her waist, she fits into the scenery around her. The pair are deep inside a cavern, surrounded by crystalline points and amethyst.

Painting of a girl in a white dress with orange-red hair flowing in waves behind her. She looks strong as she wields an obsidian sword with an amethyst gem at its hilt, the blade crossing over top of her head. A moon hangs behind her, and stone archways encase her composition. Water flows behind her in a mystical pool. Digital painting of an elven-eared woman with flowing auburn curls. She is surrounded by autumnal floral and leaves, and almost blends into her surroundings as if she IS the arriving autumn. A hazy sun hangs behind her. "The herald of autumn." A digital painting of two characters kissing in front of a pinky-yellow background. The man has curly brown hair and tan skin. He wears an ivory, tie-front historical-esque shirt. The woman has pale skin and long, flowing red hair that curls and fans out behind her, filling the composition. She wears a Renaissance-style gown in forest green with gold detailing and billowing, see-thru cream sleeves. A swirl of orange petals surround them.
