Hey #portfolioday!
I'm Laura, a fantasy abstract fine artist that sometimes does illustrations! Huge fan of stories, whether they're a single line or pages upon pages. I work in watercolor, graphite powder, and gouache
My style vibes with what I need it to do

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water. three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls. The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer. dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

Squirrel skull sketches

Found a squirrel in Oct, got the remains of the skeleton all cleaned up(except a leg, still working on that).

Got one last sketch spot: patreon.com/fallenlights on the branches tier
two pencil sketches of a squirrel skull at different angles. the paper is on a white table with a brush and pencil next to it.

Kiddo is trying to learn the lyrics for some of the K-Pop Demon Hunter songs and just absolutely started to BELT out the part she did know.

I think she forgot I was in the room too.

My next presentable watercolor attempt, after a few more flubs and restarts. 😅 I still have a *lot* to learn, but I'm really enjoying the process along the way.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Which day, you ask? One of many, to be certain, but today, there's a lore drop.

Specifically, Crow Lore!

Hi, it's me again

I have these calendars. They are so pretty. @megstampede.bsky.social made them. They have a bunch of animals on them, like crows and humpbacks and cuttlefish and salamanders.

Each month has facts about the animals AND actions you can take to help them

Get one at Squidfacts.net!

Haven't figured out whether this one is tilted or if it's just pinhole weirdness. Welcome to my world.
