Been reading The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler and just felt compelled to capture something from it #inkdrawing #illustration

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈 Today's #medievalart #illustration is inspired by 'Le Roman de Silence', a literary piece that depicts a girl raised a boy who name themselves 'Silence'. They are accosted by both Nature and Nurture (and Reason), who argue over whether Silence should remain a man. Find yourself!

Another #medievalart #illustration. This time, thinking about the time they dug up a corpse and put it on trial.😅
📜Pope Formosus was a pope that sided with a duke over the king of Italy, leading to the next pope to put his rotting corpse on trial! They mocked his silence and 'grinning' throughout📜

Posting an #inkwork #illustration of Bossk from #starwars I did a while back before I got bogged down with my new 'Cat in crackowes' store and studying!

The Cat in Crackowes now has some new wares! Check out my #etsy shop at catincrackowes.etsy.com/!
You've heard of puss in boots? Well meet his medievalist moniker donning some very fashionable, pointy shoes.

I've just beaten #death'sdoor, a fantastic game I would highly recommend. Such a beautiful world and style! Still haven't finished it entirely, and I intend to dive back in to complete it. For now, here’s a #watercolor #illustration I did of the Reaper / crow.

Tried my hand at another #Pokémon #ukiyo-e style #watercolor #illustration, this time of another of my favourites, Gastly!

Feel I'm getting there with #watercolour, starting with it first before #inking. Another #ukiyo-e inspired #pokémon #illustration of Treecko, the grass starter and lizard-dinosaur thing from Hoenn!

Still practising with #watercolours. It's a messy medium, and I'm still making a few mistakes here and there, but it sure is fun creating these cute little #pokémon #illustrations!

My business cards are finally here! ✹ Open for commissions, be it #medievalart, #illustrations, #animation, #modelpainting, or more! ✹

It's #japan day today here in Düsseldorf. Celebrating by watching Dandadan and #watercolour #illustration of Weezing in a mix of #ukiyo-e style and Ken Sugimori's Pokémon watercolours.

Thought I'd try my hand at #animation again for a quick project. So I turned my #medievalart #illustration of a jackalope atop an arachas into a gif using #moho
(and yes, that's pronounced gif, not jif)!

The Witch (or VVitch?) is an excellent film, I highly recommend it, especially if you're into #history or #witchcraft!

That's my afternoon at the café, all wrapped up in the evening.

Tried using #watercolour for the first time this week, what better than Ken Sugimori's #pokemon #illustration style to emulate starting out?
May 13, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Made another #inkdrawing #illustration, this time of Deckard from #bladerunner. Classic film, with some beautiful cinematography!

Y'all know me, y'all know how I make a livin' #inkdrawing #sketch #illustrations
Seriously though, #sharks are seriously misunderstood creatures.

#Maythe4th be with you! Celebrating with an #inkdrawing ##illustration of Artoo and Luke, the legend @markhamillofficial.bsky.social himself, on Dagobah today! Hope I did him justice!
Take care, and keep rebelling!

As #Spring marches in through #May, it's nice to watch the trees spring to life from their bracken, sleeping limbs.

Posting a backlog of my #inkwork Here's an #inkdrawing #illustration of Eowyn in her pivotal triumph over the Witch King (Let's ignore the Hobbit in the room to not undermine it) from #lotr

Attempted to make a new #Banner in #medeivalart #illustration style for #Bluesky, but the dimensions seem to keep shifting! 😅 Hoping it can be fully appreciated here in a post!

Just in time for an #easter #medievalart #illustration

Happy #AprilFools ! Another #illustration in #medievalart style. With #signalgate being both hilarious and terrifying, I struggled to find a medieval equivalent. Stanczyk was a purported jester known for his wit and philosophic views. So, I imagined him being accidentally invited to a war debate! 😂

With my recent exploration into #medievalart I thought it only appropriate to #illustrate my own profile picture in a medieval manuscript initial replication! 😊

#illustrated another scene from #history in #medievalart style: Henry I of England was travelling back from Normandy with his children, including heir, William Adelin. He let his children take The White Ship home, but they instead turned it into a short-lived booze cruise. Only a butcher survived 😱
