It's almost the start of a new month, so here's your regular reminder that if you want to see wips, timelapses, wallpapers, ARTicles, and more, I've got three tiers up on Patreon where you can get exactly that. My goal is to try and reach $50 a month!

A promotional graphic for Is This Eva's Patreon. A speech bubble at the top reads: "Support me on Patreon!" Below are circular images depicting the three available tiers: $1 (Need For Seed), $5 (Best Buds), $10 (Beleaf In Me). Decsriptive text reads: "For early access posts, WIPs, time-lapses, high-res downloads, exclusive art, process notes, wallpapers, and more!" At the bottom is a link to my Patreon page. A character walking across a sunflower field holding a basket of sunflowers is imposed over the graphic.

Obligatory La Belle Dame Sans Merci study 😂
A study of the painting La Belle Dame Sans Merci, featuring a man in armour standing before a woman on horseback. They both have brown skin; the man has shoulder-length blonde hair while the woman has long and flowing black hair, atop which rests a flower crown. She's leaning over the saddle to smile down at him playfully, while he stares up at her with a devoted expression. The horse, which has a black coat and wears armour pieces that matches the man’s, is stamping a foot and staring at the ground. Painting of a man on horseback leaning down to kiss a shepherd, who is holding a lamb in their arms. There are two sheep in the foreground. In the background, an overjoyed sheepdog is bounding towards the shepherd and the traveller. The background is a yellow grassland with a forest and mountains in the far distance. The sky is bright blue with soft clouds. A low-angle close-up drawing of two people lying on the grass at twilight. The image is focused on the person at the back, who is gazing at the person in the foreground with an expression of adoration and dawning comprehension (he just figured out he's in love). The other character, whose face is slightly blurred due to the camera focus, has her eyes closed with a peaceful expression on her face. A portrait of Fitz and Beloved gazing into each other's eyes while touching tenderly. They are both painted in an ethereal way, bright and glowing and golden; the outlines of Fitz's form fade indistinctly into the dark background.

Show me how you draw armor PLEASE
Drawing of the Tree Sentinel from Elden Ring, a warrior clad in gold armour atop a rearing grey horse, also in gold armour. In one hand the Tree Sentinel holds a halberd and in the other a round shield. Beneath the figure is a scrolled banner with the text “Tree Sentinel”. The composition is inspired by J.C. Leyendecker’s painting, “Honeymoon, The Saturday Evening Post cover, July 17, 1926”.

Pack it up boys we've made a social blunder
#StardewValley #Art #Comic #ArtSky
Comic page, starting with Harvey passing by, pricking his ears up at a conversation my farmer, Mel, is having with Leah. Leah: Bye Mel! Mel: Bye, Leah! I'm heading off to do some DIY surgery. Harvey, panicking: What in the—DIY surgery?! DIY SURGERY?! Harvey grabs Mel by the shoulders, bloody grip style, while Mel jumps in surprise: DIY SURGERY?? WHY ARE YOU DOING DIY SURGERY? I BEG, YOU PLEASE JUST COME TO THE CLINIC! I KNOW IT'S NOT AS FANCY AS THE HOSPITALS IN ZUZU CITY, BUT I PROMISE I CAN DO EMERGENCY SURGERY IN A PINCH!! (Aside) Oh Yoba please tell me she's been using sterile tools at least— Harvey, tearfully: Oh Yoba, the infections— Mel, interrupting with a hand on his shoulder: Harvey. HARVEY. Mel: Harvey, I'm not actually surgery on myself. I'm only talking about emptying my period cup! I just call it surgery because taking out the cup can be messy sometimes. Harvey: Oooooooh. So you were just talking period cups? Mel, nodding: Yup. Harvey: I see. Harvey: And it's such an ordeal that you call it surgery? Mel: Yup. Harvey, eager to be helpful: I know! What if I did surgery for you? Panel of Harvey, face full of panic, surrounded by bubbles of text: "What if I did surgery for you?" repeating around him in various sizes and emphasis. Mel, embarrassed, jams her hat down on her head. Harvey, covering his face with his hand: ...Please forget I ever said anything. There's a bubble in the corner with Leah laughing uproariously.

Like. I think there's just something about the sheer unhingedness of the sketch that just didn't carry over to the final version 😂

You know, I always forget to share the cover I made for my own comic 😂
A book cover for Bite Sized by Eva I. The cover features two characters standing toe-to-toe, both wearing challenging expressions; the character on the right is leaning forward slightly on his toes, looking angry, a sword in one hand. The other character is wearing a smirk while they tilt up the other character’s chin with one hand. The background is yellow.

So cool that I got to go in such different directions with all of these.
An illustrated book cover for Help Wanted by J. Emery. The cover features a harassed-looking raven sitting upon an open book on a desk. Behind the raven the desktop is strewn with several several sheets of paper, stacks of books, a smoking candle, and stray feathers. The title is included inside speech bubble coming from the raven. Book cover for The Distance Between Stars and Salt by Alex Harvey-Rivas. It's a dark blue graphical cover, framed by an hourglass motif composed of stars. The top half of the cover is taken up by the title, which is drawn to include the Maltese cross motif. The bottom half depicts a luzzu tossing on a turbulent sea, below which is the author's name. In the background are subtle constellations. Book cover for Tessa of Hundrfeld by A.L. Heard. The illustration shows a white woman in leather armour standing in a grassy field, holding a hammer with both hands. The sky behind her is heavy with storm clouds, but there's sunlight peeking through in the distance. Book cover for Lost Traditions, Book 7 in The Chronicles of Nerezia by Claudie Arseneault. The illustration, predominantly in shades of purple and turquoise, shows a cat person worth their back to the viewer holding a staff in one hand. She's facing a character who is slowly approaching her, eyes glowing menacingly. There is a building behind them both, overgrown with vines, and the field they're in is dotted with glowing blue flowers.

Painting of a person approaching a cottage on a bright sunny day. He has his back to the viewer and is wearing a blue coat. The cottage he's approaching is somewhat run-down; there are chickens pecking in the yard, and a woman stands at the front door carrying a tub at her hip. She's wearing a blue dress with a white apron and a scarf holding back her long dark hair. A portrait of Fitz and Beloved gazing into each other's eyes while touching tenderly. They are both painted in an ethereal way, bright and glowing and golden; the outlines of Fitz's form fade indistinctly into the dark background. "Painting of Kettricken from the Farseer Trilogy. She is a young white woman with golden hair and blue eyes, wearing a fluffy fur coat. Her lips are parted slightly in an earnest smile while she gazes off into the distance. Her portrait is framed in a golden oval surrounded by sparkles and stars, set against a purple background. The text ""Queen-in-Waiting"" is written at the bottom of the image."

A dramatic drawing of my OC Mel riding her seikret (a bird-like mount from Monster Hunter Wilds) through a grassy plain. She's looking up at the sky with her sword out. The colours are bright and vivid. A drawing of a person atop Torrent, the steed in Elden Ring. The person is brown-skinned with pink hair and a serious expression. She has one hand on the reins and a sword in her right hand. Torrent has long ears and horns on his head, and his luxurious white mane is covering his eyes. In the background there are drooping sunflowers among the foliage. There is a giant golden tree at the very back. The foreground is outlined by a golden frame; the circular part of the frame has the symbol of the Elden Ring. At the bottom of the drawing is text written in Uncial calligraphy that reads: Arise, ye tarnished!
