Phone pictures of a small oil painting of Rowan. Needs a bit of touching up but here we are for now. Sorry for the glare as always.

Oil painting of a woman with a scarred face and determined expression backlit by a cold full moon. Her red hair cascades down her back and her golden armour catches the light. In her hands she clutches a red twinblade that she holds across her body. Oil painting of a woman with a scarred face and determined expression backlit by a cold full moon.

Truer to colour photos
Oil painting portrait of a woman who looks out to the viewer with a vacant, somewhat melancholy expression. She has dark hair that falls in waves. In her mouth there are strands of grass poking out from been her pink lips. She wears a crown of yellow heath Oil painting showing the profile of a dead woman's face. She is laying amongst green and yellow grasses, with several different flowers growing around her, giving the impression she has been there for a while. Her hair is red. There is a crow nibbling her eyebrow, and a magpie perches on her chin with her lip clasped in its beak. The woman's skin is green tinged. One half open clouded eye looks out at the audience

Hello #portfolioday!

I'm Dáire, an Irish artist, and I create work with strong narrative elements, with particular interests in folklore, fantasy, and darker themes. I paint in oils or gouache and can work across multiple styles. I'm available for projects! ⚔️

Her long red hair flows down her back, spilling out of her black hood. Her expression is determined, but half of her face is heavily scarred, with the scarred side hidden as much as possible behind strands of hair. In one armoured hand she clutches Eleanora's poleblade, a red twinblade, while in the other she holds a long blade. The Haligtree backs her, with small scarlet aeonia flowers in bloom. Outside of her frame, a red sunset paints the sky while blue flowers bloom beneath. Oil painting showing a figure of a young woman in a white dress with a sickle at her side raising a hand to Death, who wears a wreath of Autumn leaves. The young woman's face is hidden by twigs strapped to her head, masking her.

Everyone always talks about Millais' Ophelia but my favourite Ophelia painting is probably this one by Heyser. It's just so gentle (and minus giving Elizabeth Siddal pneumonia)

#Ophelia #HistoricalPainting
Heyser's Ophelia painting. A woman dressed in a white gown lies in a river, the water plants expertly painted around her. There is a flowering lily pad and two red flowers beside her, reminding us of the tragedy unfolding. The woman's face is reposed as if asleep, and her hair floats behind her. The background gives the impression of a risen bank, with plantlife spilling down towards the river water A close up shot of the painting. Here you can see more detail in [the woman] Ophelia's face. Her eyes appear slightly open in death and in her hand she clutches a fistful of delicate blooming flowers. There is a white flower in her hair and her lips are slightly parted.

Hi everyone, I'm suddenly getting a lot of new followers which is lovely so please let me reintroduce myself 💖

I'm Dáire, I'm an artist based in Ireland. I work with themes of death and decay a lot. I paint and make comics, and my work is very narrative orientated. I love LotR and Elden Ring 🕯️

Thank you for the tag and apologies for the delay in answering!

I'm interested in how death begets life, the necrobiome, and our relationship with the environment, with folklore and witchery mixed in. Everything I make is off the back of my thoughts about nature, people, and decay

Artists, QRP with you favorite portrait you've drawn!

I love painting people! I deeply love this oil painting of my partner from a few years back. Cause it's him.
An oil painting portrait of a white man against a background of purple flowers. His shirt has been left deliberately unfinished. The lighting against his face is blue tinted which gives the piece a slightly melancholic feel

Hi everyone, I'm Dáire and I'm an artist interested in the necrobiome, death practices, and the threads of life that connect us all through nature.

Screenshot from twitter user @Ppathole The post reads: Tech enthusiasts: My entire house is smart. Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognise. Edited screenshot from Invincible where Karl Marx has been added. A fist flies towards Karl Marx' face. The text on the fist reads "Capitalism is human nature" The next panel shows Karl Marx easily blocking the fist by grabbing it with his own. The text reads "Capitalism is only 400 years old"

How I acquired my third cat... or rather, how he acquired me.

#makeaterriblecomicday2025
Comic sketched in pencil and then inked with pen and marker. Procreate has been used to add rosette screentone. The comic shows the artist on the phone to their manager, they are visibly stressed and trying not to cry. The artist is lost in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. As they spiral into tears on the phonecall, there is an ungodly shrieking behind them. There is a tiny cay in the middle of the road causing all the ruckus. The artist is shocked and doesn't understand where this cat appeared from
