Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final!
#arttrain
(i don't actually have an image of the proper SKETCH stage of this piece because my sketches are so loose, so here's 'lineart vs. final' instead.)
lineart image drawing of a handsome blond man with short tousled hair sitting in an ornate chair with his fingers laced together. he wears a leather gilet and a faded black shirt, as well as dark grey-brown fall-front trousers. mixed media drawing of a handsome blond man with short tousled hair sitting in an ornate chair with his fingers laced together. he wears a leather gilet and a faded black shirt, as well as dark grey-brown fall-front trousers. he sits in front of a pair of windows showing a sunset or sunrise; the walls and floors have nacreous hues like the inside of a conch shell, and two lamps seem to hold glowing jellyfish.

Captain Ezra Trace - commission! this was really fun to work on.

you can find commission info here: ko-fi.com/dorkbait/com...
mixed media drawing: a man with sandy blond hair sits with his hands folded in an ornate wooden chair. he wears a leather gilet and a faded black shirt, as well as dark grey-brown fall-front trousers. behind him are windows showing a sunset or sunrise at sea. the walls are colored as if they're nacreous, and the floor has a strange pattern almost like the exterior of a conch shell. there are lanterns on the wall holding jellyfish.

if you see this, post a vampire! 🩸
it's September and that means it's spooky season.
mixed media painting: a pale, heavily freckled redhead young man sits in a bathtub, splattered in blood and licking his lips. his eyes gleam with red tapetus lucidum and the tips of fangs peek slightly out from beneath his upper lip. top surgery scars are faintly visible on his chest. he might be beckoning you with one hand, or simply reaching outthe painting is shadowed in tones of pink and purple. contrasting with the lurid red of blood.

half-remembered dream of summers long past, 2024, mixed media. painted during residency in kristinestad, finland. #art #painting #symbolist
mixed-media painting of a figure wearing peasant clothing from anywhere between the late 1700s to early 1900s. they turn back to face the viewer, but their face is obscured by a whirl of auburn hair. the background is a serene meadow farmscape, but the further down the page it descends, the more it dissolves from realism into scribbles, and then into simply a glowing green wash.

prism, a cosmic wanderer with a mastery over the full spectrum, seen and unseen, of light. part of their character design, this is the under-layer of their typical traveling garb.
a mixed media drawing of a person with split-dyed long hair, one balf of which is dark and one half of which is blond with pastel rainbow highlights, in a crouching pose. they wear prismatic lensed glasses and have tattoos down their cheeks which almost look like tearstains. they are dressed in a pleated sleeveless button-down shirt with a belt and suspenders and baggy black trousers, as well as oxford shoes with spats. their arms, hands, and neck are tattooed; their hands and neck are tattooed in strange patterns, while their arms are covered in tattoos of hands which seem to be grasping their body. from their belt falls a series of rainbow ribbons.

a mixed media image of a slender, tan-skinned person with dark brown, chin-length wavy hair, smiling slightly at the viewer. they are wearing a sleeveless caramel-brown leather gilet that laces up the sides and buckles along the front, a dark brown leather belt, and persimmon red loose fitting pants, as well as several earrings, necklaces, and bracelets made of shells, beads, and pearls

please take a look - i've been basically unemployed this entire summer so i'd really appreciate it! ko-fi.com/dorkbait/com...
a drow with fluffy white hair sits on an opened tomb, looking toward the viewer with serious ruby red eyes. he has a goth style, and wears a black crop top with a cold-shoulder style, and two buckled bracelets on each wrist, as well as low-rise baggy black jeans and a seatbelt style belt. he has a bright red scarf draped around his neck. he has ouija-board style tattoos on each of his hands, and on what's shown of his shoulders. from the tomb he sits on emerges a miasma-like spirit flowing behind him. mixed media drawing of a pretty boy with curly brown hair and a white forelock, in 3/4 view. he wears a red wide-brimmed hat and a ruffled burgundy shirt, under a fringed leather jacket. a tooled leather jacket with gold buckles is slung over his shoulder, and from it peeks a cheeky opossum over his arm. he's adorned in gold jewelry including a pair of lotus-motif dangling gold earrings. a mixed media drawing of a young woman with blue-grey skin lying on her back, her serene face tilted upwards. she has a single unicorn horn adorned with a gemmed star, and wears a bodice embroidered with golden designs. her long, nearly-white hair spills into the foreground, while in the background a nebula births clusters of stars.
