This one took a while but it was worth it!
Two characters in bed together. She is straddled onto him, her head tilted back with pleasure and her long curly hair draped down her back. He lifts a few locks of her hair to his lips, staring at her with vulnerable adoration.

This drawing is going to wind up in black and white, but I wanted to practice skin tones so I’m tinkering! #wip #workinprogress
Alaedra looks over her shoulder at something behind the viewer. Her red hair is unkempt, her freckled face flushed from exertion. There are tears in her bloodshot eyes, and she looks wary.

Some more attention on Alaedra today. Freckles added!
Alaedra looks over her shoulder at something that angers and upsets her. Her hair is unkempt and her eyes are wide.

Yet another #wipwednesday
Alaedra, a woman with dark hair and a black shirt, looks into the middle distance at something that is causing her distress. Lucian, a man with blonde hair and a high necked sweater, focuses on her with his hands on her shoulders, trying to assess the damage.

I actually remembered to post a #wip on a Wednesday?! WHO AM I

An unfinished digital graphite drawing of a woman who looks in fear over her shoulder. Her hair is unkempt and falling out of its bun, as though she has been fighting or running.

So far, my ONLY complaint about Bluesky is that I can’t choose the part of a photo that displays without tapping on it.

So many of my photo previews end up chopping off my poor characters’ heads. 😭

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Another #characterdesign done! [ #characterart #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #originalcharacter #ocart ]
A young man stands facing the viewer. He has very pale skin, green eyes, and an angular face. He also has blonde hair that is mostly combed back except for a curl at his forehead. He wears a black suit, vest, and coat with a red tie and white shirt. His buttons are gold.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

Another character done! Loving the ‘40s vibe on her!
[ #bskyart #bskyartists #oc #ocart #characterart ]
A drawing of a 33-year-old woman with light skin and brown pinned up hair. She wears a dark pink fitted skirt that ends below her knee and a matching jacket with a white collar. She also wears a matching pillbox hat on her head with a white fascinator, white gloves, and black heeled knee-high boots. The outfit is inspired by and reminiscent of 1940s women’s fashion. She walks toward the “camera” holding a tube of lipstick that she has just finished applying and a black handbag.

Progress!
The beginnings of a sketch of a woman with long curly hair. She has light skin, dark eyes, and freckles across her cheeks and nose. She grins in a lopsided way.
