Horse sketches in Procreate :)
On the left is an OTTB named Tizzy in a d-ring. He plays with his bit a lot so you can see him rolling back his tongue with his lip over the top. The other horse is a precious quarter horse paint named Rosey. She’s sketched in greyscale with white rim light and a twinkle in her eye as she listens to treat bags crinkle

Auric my darling! One of the formulas I put on him is a fourier transform because that equation can be used to cancel sound and as a math-wizard, how perfect for a silence spell! <3

These are older pieces and I've gotten better but, I still love them very much! @unlimitedrealmsltd.bsky.social

Recently reminded of some good boys I painted for @unlimitedrealmsltd.bsky.social ✨❤️

He wears a robin-hood style hat in tan, and a vest in the same color tones while his natural tree branching elements raise up from his skin. He's holding a bow with a quiver of arrows at his waist, and isn't wearing any shoes.

Show me how you draw armor!

(this one is a zoom-in of my current wip but I wanted to participate with something more recent!)

This is Rosey, the horse that my cousin rescued. She’s an absolute darling 💖 She’s fully retired at 24 and can’t be ridden anymore, but she is a wonderful companion for another horse on the farm, and lets me fuss over her with no complaints and is quite bombproof! 💖 I absolutely love her!

Going through old art! It’s interesting to see how I was experimenting with the horse head’s feathers instead of fur, and how absolutely off it was in design and the drafted attempt!

The hands are almost interesting because I had already solved how I wanted skin to look

Tiny and fast mental break, daydreaming about the Locked Tomb series becoming a tv show in the style of Castlevania <3 #lockedtomb #harrowharkNonagesimus

It is a younger woman with skull-paint on her face with short dark hair that looks self-cut. a 3/4 portrait of Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series.

Feeling like sharing some proof of life! I don’t have a lot of art I can share right now, so here’s my face 💖
A picture of artist Elaine Ryan in her book-filled office just sort of hanging out in a fluffy plum sweater and a navy T-shirt. She is a white woman with dark blonde hair and blue eyes, and she’s alive!

"...What have you done to me? I am a unicorn!"

A crop in of a WIP that sort of correlates to #junicorn!
I'm trapped in deadlines and other obligations but I hope I'll get to finish this in September <3

Thinking about the time I did a few illustrations for my mom's novel, Unforgettable Ella <3

It's been a long time since I've done a "finished image" in graphite and I am missing it a little bit!!

I am overwhelmed with just a social schedule with my current workload so I’m not setting dates up, I just keep the profile up hahahhaa

Here’s the picture: It’s a little strange but also a full body photo of me hahaha! I don’t get a lot of pictures taken of me when I’m working! ☺️

Finally getting to doodle and plan just for me has been a delight! Here's a sketch and color draft for "Spring" in a series I started ages ago! "The Seasons of Ningue"

I am trying to schedule downtime to dive into sketches like this <3
The character Surena, a pale elf woman with a long blonde ponytail, rides a white horse with feathers for fur, chasing a glowing glass doe that prances up stream. celestial fish dance and dive around the doe as it moves effortlessly through the terrain #art #horseart a black and white sketch with no depth showing the planning stage of a girl on a horse following a doe #sketches #art

This is going to be so ridiculous and cute

So I designed this stuffed animal back in 2012, so I think I’m going to design a little Quickstep in the same style to be a little buddy for my convention table 💖

I also have this gem-colored version. I am having a hard time deciding which one suits him more.

See a Hug, Post a Hug!

Some super oldies circa 2017 and 2019

The teal and orange piece has a weird bit of writing to go with it, too!
grayscale painting of my OC Surena, an eleven woman being held by my other OC Nikolai, as her hand buries itself in the back of his sweater with exhaustion a pastel orange and teal monochrome painting of my OC Surena's soul being captured by her deity before she can completely pass on. He is a floating figure on an abstract background, cradling her head and body gently before she will be required to re-enter her mortal form to join the fight again.
