A jack-of-all-trades queer creative. Got drawing fingers and an aphantastic brain. No gender, but enough ADHD to make up for it.

GODS, it's been so long since I had time to come back to any of my #WIP. Didn't get a ton done tonight, but the reflection I did turned out SO much better than expected. Now, in order to match up, I have even more work to do inside the lamp than anticipated! 😮‍💨

#queer #art #lgbtq #illustration
Work in progress of a lava lamp, inside which two nude men matching the red and blue colors of the "lava" inside are entwined in a sensual embrace. In the glass of the lava lamp, the realistic reflection of two men kissing can be seen.

A very dark nighttime scene of a very turbulent sea. A tall ship in the background leans 45 degrees to the left as it is tossed about, and a small sailboat in the foreground crests a wave, sail retracted. Three people frantically work to drag nets up onto land on the lower right. Waves crash against the rock shore on both sides of the painting. In the midground, to the left, a lighthouse blazes with a smokey fire at the top. In the center of the piece, just above the ship, a full moon peaks through the heavy dark cloud cover, providing the only real illumination in the painting. The whole thing is moody AF and I love it.

A nude male figure on his knees, his lower have swaddled in black fabric-like tendrils that flare out and up behind him, swirling across the bottom-left diagonal half of the painting. Near the right side, a straight line of neon-rainbow liquid lights pours down from above, past the figure's head of short brown hair and through his hands, which are rested on the ground, palms up, either in a gesture of relief or defeat. The neon runs in rivulets along the ground and off the painting. The background (including ground plane) is all muted warm taupes and cooler light greys.

Transcription of artist statement in alt text
"Four is a powerful number to Hawaiians. Four times four is even more powerful, hence the traditional 16 panels of the creation story. Each panel contains aspects of the sea, land and sky, and depicts the progressive stages of the moon. Each white triangle symbolizes a generation with the stacked line of triangles indicating the many generations, or one's ancestral heritage. Each black dot on top of two white strips represents one's piko or baval and the coral polyp, which is the first evidence of life. Through the generations/panels, fish, plants and birds begin to appear; turtles move between sea and land; larger sea and land animals emerge; man appears and his ties to the land; flora and fauna is symbolized by the fetus' ties (umbilical) to kako, breadfruit and other elements important in the lives of the Hawaiian people."

#artsky #watercolor #illustration #tolkien #LotR
A watercolor illustration in light greens and greys of a verdant canyon between deep cut stone, a river running through the center, and a small red-roofed village in the midground. A mountain range is just visible in the background. A tall willow stands to the right in the foreground. A square frame is drawn around the landscape, and includes the label 'Rivendell' at the bottoms, with a water-like pattern in blue to either side of the label.

Been 2 weeks since I got to do any art 😩 and it's been killing me.

Stayed up late tonight to make time for a #sketch of Mr. Eyebrows, #JackMcCoy / #SamWaterston

Just a little #fanart, and not one of my WIPs, but it'll have to do for now.

#drawing #pencil #graphite #art #lawandorder
A pencil sketch of an older Sam Waterston, with bushy black eyebrows, white hair, and plenty of wrinkles. The corners of his mouth are turned up in a s smile, and under his suit jacket the top button of his collared shirt is undone and the tie's been removed.

I also like doing #fantasy #maps. This #map is for my current #campaign, started in 2022. I even got it printed in larger format to hang on my wall to reference while #GMing.
A continent called Vaefen.

#cartography #dnd #ttrpg #homebrew #worldbuilding
A large continent with four long southeastern peninsulas (three total bays between them) and one bulkier landmass jutting out to sea in the northwest. There's a pair of massive lakes in the north, a smaller lake just south of the eastern one, and a long river running down the center of the continent. There's three mountain ranges: one along the northmost edge of the continent, another cluster of mountains a little south of the previous in the east, and a long mountain range running the length of the central river. Cities are clustered into seven nations or city-states with a handful of unincorporated cities as well.

#artsky #woodblock #printmaking
A dark woodcut print on tan paper of a man in the foreground with hos head in his hands, looking distraught, with a candlestick on the table by his elbow. The light from the candle is the only point of light in the room. In the midground, a woman with a prim white face and hair pulled tightly into a bun reads a book held in both hands. A cross hangs from a necklace between the folds of her white collar. In the background is a single window revealing a dark night sky, in front of which is a plush bed. The wall of the room is slanted.

An etching of a tree trunk strung up with nude bodies and body parts. To the left, one man is slumped against the trunk, upside down. In the center is a body bound to the tree around their torso, feet also bound, and his arms seem to be tied behind the trunk. To the right is a headless body hung from a branch by his legs, a head impaled on a part of the branch, and two arms tied together hanging from the end of the tree limb.

So, I painted a paver block to look like one of my favorite books. Yes, I forgot the H 🤦 I'll fix it one day. Pretty pleased otherwise though.

#craftsky #artsandcrafts #booksky #dostoevsky
A concrete paver brick propped up on a shelf, painted to look like a beat up book. The cover is maroon with black and gold filigree detailing and, embarrassingly, says "CRIME AND PUNISMENT" (missing an H) and "FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY". The edge of the paper has faint brush strokes that resemble pages.

How about a #3dArt piece?
I made a doll based on @archmagemisha.bsky.social's illustration for an #AshtonGreymore #CriticalRole #cosplay

Reclaimed wood, burned, chiseled, drilled, and maimed, sewed arms and legs, painted, & added 3d printed skull with a gem. Absolutely love it

An old college #charcoal and #conte #drawing of some unidentified seed pods, about 3ft x 4ft. One of the few pieces of mine I've ever framed, which I also built myself.

Originally drawn left side down, but I prefer the composition oriented this way.

#artsky #blackandwhite #largescale
Three partially opened seedpods hanging down from a stem that crosses the artwork. Faded gesture drawings of the pods are visible in the background.

Hey! Yo! Hello!

I'm Sargon (they/them), an agender artist who can't settle on one medium or style. I enjoy playing with hyper-detailed texture juxtaposed with simplified woodblock style pattern.

I draw traditional & digital, embroider, sew, animate, build, blockprint, and may dabble with painting.
A heavily detailed drawing of a hyena in trans flag colors, bounding forward carrying a brick in their mouth, with the words "Laugh, 'cuz it's gonna be a riot" written around them in graffiti-style text. Four dogs lounging on a damask-patterned sofa: a great dane with tongue hanging out, a greyhound giving side-eye, an amstaff mix yawning, and a chow mix looking contemplative. Digital drawing of a man wearing glasses peacefully and happily hugs and black and white amstaff-mix dog done in a hyper-detailed style. The man's hair is pulled back into a loose bun, he has a somewhat scruffy beard, and he is wearing a shirt with a finely-striped pattern. The dog's eyes are mostly closed and show contentment. A rough diamond pattern with woodgrain-like lines creates a background behind the two figures. A sketchy pencil self-portrait of the artist. Their hands are held in front of their face in a heart shape, and wide eyes peer through the gap. Their hair is short, unkept, and wild. There's a ring on the left hand.
