Gifted my husband to be with this artwork just now - he was overjoyed, and it meant a lot to have this commissioned by Adam. Thank you so much! 💓

A commission for a very special occasion, @ethy-bates-art.bsky.social 's wedding! Ethan has been following my art for many years and I’m honored to have been given an opportunity to create something so very special for him. Thank you and congratulations! 🩵🏳️‍🌈

Digital illustration, a line drawing of two grooms holding hands and lovingly gazing at each other. They’re both wearing tuxedos and bow ties. They’re inside an oval frame decorated with sunflowers and leaves. The entire artwork is in various shades of blue.

Last #oc for now! Introducing Kessel, tactician of the City Border Guards. Enjoys the thrill and procedure of his work - not great at chit chat. 🚫

Another oc here, meet Leo! Bartender and laid-back 'rock' to Russell in the world of #robosphere.
Leo enjoys life's simple pleasures but couldn't resist upgrading his silver helmet to a gold model when his business took off.

Continuing oc introductions, next up is Jordy, a big ol' ape from #robosphere. He's got a bit of an attitude, but you want him on your side in a fight!

Hey bluesky! Thought it was about time to introduce some ocs properly. Here’s Russell, the protagonist in the world of #robosphere. He's a factory android from the final years of humankind who is reactivated in the far future to find a world ruled by robots.
