Thanks for the artshare. <3

I started drawing about two years ago, motivated by friends and seing wonderful people progressing so fast I thought "I can do it". Still have much to learn, but I'm really happy to be able to get my characters out of my mind and see them for real.
A young, brown haired woman in a blue kimono. A violet obi belts her waist, and she wears her hairs in a ponytail. A purple haired knight lady leans against her spiked spear. She wears green scale armor, a bit of mail and some plates, but the most important part is her weird snake/bug looking helmet. Not the safest one to wear, with these pointed fangs.

Mel, or Melisandre, The Barbed Knight

She’s young, she’s weaker than most other knights, but what she lacks in body, she compensate with an irreductible enthusiasm, a crazy spirit, and way too much eagerness for spilling blood.

She’s a crazy asshole, and I love playing as her.

A pale and young woman with black-purple hair is decked in green scaled armor. Part of her arms and legs are covered by simple padded clothes, and her feet aren't fully armored either. Her spear and one of her pauldrons are spiky. An helmet, looking like a snake or a bug, has fangs framing her eyes.

Meet Eguesy, an recently novice adventurer, as she gains experience.
Two different versions that I drew following advices kindly given by @ewylana.bsky.social, focusing on the lineart. Next exercice will be color. We'll see that girl soon(er or later, it's a big exercice).
A woman with blue skin, tail and horns, is drawing a bowstring, ready to shot at something. She has purple hair in a bob cut. On the left side version, she's in her underwears, while on the right side version she's fully clothed and wear a bit of gold-looking jewelry.

#art #portrait #lineup
Four characters to illustrate a game of Nine Princes in Amber, Annaïs, Farid, Gauvain and Gwen are the cousins of the players and will help them survive to the complicated politics of their family.
As long as they keep them on their side, that is.
Four characters are lined up. One is a woman in a black dancing dress with leaves, she had dark brown hair curling around her face. She wears a light green collar. One is a man in a light beige ottoman-style dress, with a blue fur hat over his brown hair, holding a spear in a hand and an anachronistic clipboard in the other. The two last are actually the same character, on the left presenting as male in a red dress shirt and pants, on the right wearing a large pink dress. The face is the same, surrounded by long and straight brown-reddish hair. Both appearance hold the same sword.

Drop some bows ! 🏹 🎀 🏹
A young woman, sort of magical girl, in a bright orange dress is creating light from her hands. She has brown skin and orange hairs, horns on her head and on her belt buckle. Little anvils decorate her multilayered dress and long flowing red bows float behind her.

For the birthday of a friend, I drew Yuki, her half-human, half-spider character, that she plays in our Amber game.

I used @trueref.bsky.social for the line art, for lack of time and my sub-par linework. it's a great resource, for learning with their gesture-tool, or for a line base. Thanks !
A japanese woman wearing a dark blue kimono, with a deep blue obi, shows her back and part of her face. Spiders are part of her outfit, mainly spiders ornements in her bun. Faded in the background, appears the shape of a cat head.

5k ??! Congratulations Ewylana ! You deserve it and much much more !
I hope you'll keep growing and reach the skies, art wise and number wise. <3

For the giveaway, I can always try my luck, here's a character of mine I like a lot. Thank you for the opportunity.
A young, orange haired-woman wears a pink dress with dark pink swirls. The dress is complemented by purple pants and a purple clothes belt, attached with a gold insigna. Her left shoulder isn't covered by the dress, but by a light blue shirt with short sleves. Her left wrist host two golden bracelets. She has a golden necklace with a red jewel in the middle. Similar jewels are visible on her slippers. She wears her hairs in two braids, and an transparent, blue-ish textile surround the back of her head and both of her shoulders. She seems to be raised her head, and her left hand, and may be about to wave to somebody. Her posture still is rather static.

Cloé Equesitas and Giig Longson, engineer and ensign in Star Fleet, on a break.

Hey, you need to know when to relax, and one of these times is when you’re in front of a gorgeous mountain.

The second and currently last of my simple star trek inspired drawings.

#art #portrait #ld #clogiig
Two women in Star Fleet uniform, inspired by Star Trek Lower Decks. One in red, with curly brown hairs, is bent toward the camera, while her friend, in yellow and sporting purple pigtails, is leaning on her. Both have their arm on the other's shoulder. They seem to be near a cliff, a moutainous landscape behind them and a rather clear sky further behind.

And since I mentionned those, here's their individual portraits.
The "not a pirate" engineer and the theater kid ensign.

Cloé Equesitas and Giig Longson

After the portraits of these two, I wanted to see them interact. Quick drawing, in a simple style. I'm having fun. :)
No need to tell me about the weird hand pose, I already know. :P
Another drawing in the same style is coming soon.

Two women in Star Fleet uniform, from Star Trek Lower Decks. One in yellow, with violet pigtails tries to pull back the other. The one in red, with curly brown hairs, looks back toward her friend, but doesn't seem to want to stop.

#art #portrait Granielle, my minecraft alter-ego. I wanted a desert themed-outfit for a new skin, and while it is not exactly desertic, I do like it a lot.
After the drawing to help me get the design right, I created the skin itself.
It was fun, I like doing new skins for me and my partner. <3

Giig Longson

"For the hundreth time, Giig, you're no space pirate. Neither you're locked in eternal struggle with the tentacle monster who destroyed Earth. You're Starfleet personnel and Earth is perfectly intact !"

Bringing my starbound character in my lower decks crew.
#art #portrait #ld
The portrait of a grey-brown skined woman with purple hair, she's looking directly at the viewer, seemingly annoyed, brow furrowed. She shows part of her back as well. This woman has a blue bandana with white dots and a yellow, off-one-shoulder toga top as clothes. The portrait stop at the shoulder. On a raised bed behind her, a yellow top, from a Starfleet uniform, allow to identify her as a member of Security or Engineering. She is, in fact, part of Engineering.

Where it started vs. how it's going ✨ #artshare
My first digital character and the latest one.
2023 2025
A young japanese woman with a brown ponytail wears a blue-gray kimono with a purple obi. The drawing is rather bad. For example, her brown eyes are simply ovals. A woman with curly brown hair and a confident attitude wears a red starfleet uniform from Star Trek Lower Decks hidden underneath a blue and pink stripped dress. Far from a perfect picture, but there's a simple background, lights on the character, and much better shadows. And the eyes aren't ovals anymore.

Cloé Equesitas

Recently finished Star Trek Lower Decks, and while I don't know much about Star Trek in general, I really liked it. Maybe I'll watch Deep Space Nine one of these days, to follow up.

In the meanwhile, I had a funny photo and wanted to do a inspired art of my own.

#art #portrait #ld
A woman in front of a door, with brown skin and long, curly hairs, is blocking the path. While she's wearing a blue and pink dress, that dress is badly hiding a red Starfleet Uniform, inspired by Star Trek Lower Decks. Especially with her shiny black boots perfectly visible. She wears the pin of an ensign. An hand raised, another on her hip, she's trying to distract the person she's talking with. Compromising her bad disguise even more, a phaser is lying on the ground behind her.

I have no idea if it's fine to answer even if you didn't tag me, but you teached me so much, I want to congratulate you for this important milestone. Onward to 5k and 10k and more !

For memories sake's, here's one of the portraits you helped so much with. <3

#art #portrait #Gallena
A young woman with long, deeply pink hairs is enjoying a glass of wine. Behind her, the sea, agitated by the wind. Three Marines' ships from One Piece are navigating on the horizon. She's sitting on a crate, and her marine's cap is lying down near the almost-empty bottle of wine. She's not wearing any sort of uniform, but baggy white pants, laced brown shoes, a pink, ruffled shirt and a pink waistcoat. She's looking at the sky, while raising a hand in a negligent move. This reveals a sort of manacle shackled to her fist.

Noumi's idol

A drawing for a friend, Noumi, taking her "idol" character and reinventing her.

The artstyle didn't work the way I hoped, but such is the life of experimentations. The friend likes this drawing, and that's the most important thing. :)

#art #portrait
A young woman dressed in a punk-inspired outfit, with leather gloves, bleeding heart t-shirt, leather jacket, is giving the middle finger to someone outside of the screen. She's standing proundly, smiling, defiant. Her yellow, very pale and long hairs are hiding her animal ears, but not her fluffy tail, emerging from an high-waist short. Her boots are a strange mix of pink, neon green and black. She also wear heart-decorated headphones. The background is black and white, in an abstract manner, strong, heavy lines going around her.

So close, so far apart ...

A knight and a guard, separated by light.

A friend made a small comic for Chrismas for me, and these two characters are the beginning and the end of that comic.

As often, many thanks to @ewylana.bsky.social for her graceful advices, she helped me a lot.

#art #portrait
A woman, in white armor with gold trims, raises her right hand. She has braids on the back of her pale hair and horns on the top of her head. Her eye, seen from the side, is golden and she wears crimson eyeliner. On the other side, a man raises his left hand. He is wearing a light helmet and a lighter armor, along with a green tunic and red scarf. He has short brown hair, a small mustache and blue eyes. He's fully human. A lightning ray seems to separate the two, and stronger light emanate from the point where their fingers are about to touch. Behind them is an orange, blurry background, like a tiled square.

I finished drawing a dream, a girl who appeared to me two weeks ago. I tried to copy her semblance, I think it's a fair representation of her. Who she is ? I don't know. I never knew.

Thank to @ewylana.bsky.social for her advices. <3
