Some cephalopods for #NationalOctopusDay! 🐙 🦑
A digital reworking of a traditional drawing, featuring a smiling green octopus in a worn and paint-spattered smock. He perches on four tentacles while using the other four as arms: two to hold paintbrushes, one to hold a palette, and one free to hover gracefully in midair. His eyes are large, black, and shiny, like two glistening boba balls. Above his head there is the word "Smocktopus." A digital reworking of a traditional drawing, this is a smiling purple octopus holding three blocks in their tentacles: pink, yellow, and blue. Their eyes are amber with a sliver of blue around the large black pupil. Above their bulbous head is the word "Blocktopus." A traditional drawing of a cephalopod that looks like a squid, but with strange eyes. Their eyes are wide, yellow with a blue sliver around a small black pupil, and have a hungry look about them. The head is broad and pointed with a frill around the edges and a bubbling valve on the left side (left from our POV). Four wrinkled tentacles, grey-blue with yellow suckers and purple tips, act as legs. Two additional tentacles hold up a wooden sign with painted white lettering that reads, "Free hugs! (Please?)" A traditional drawing of a mutant cuttlefish sort of creature. The body is small and round at the back, magenta at its base and striped with bright green. The six curled tentacles protruding from the front are the same bright green. The cuttlefish's eyes are black and glossy, deep in thought. There is a valve on the left side of their head (our right). The background is grey with seemingly countless black and purple dots, which give it a grain texture. On the left side is a large patch of purple and pink ombre flowers, squiggly in shape and dotted like the background. On the right side is the same, but in shades of blue.

A digital redo of a hand drawn picture I did some time ago. I do love a pun/play on words/whatever "Smocktopus" is. #hoptopuses #octopus🐙 #artistsonbluesky
A digital drawing based on a hand drawing of an octopus. The octopus stands upright on four of his tentacles. In two of his other tentacles, he holds a paintbrush, one with blue paint and one with pink. In another tentacle he holds a palette with purple, blue, yellow, and pink paint on it. The eighth tentacle is free, and he holds it up as if waving. He is light green with large dark brown eyes and a tiny, content smile. He wears a ragged beige smock, and both he and the smock are smudged with the paint from the palette. Above his head is a purple rectangle with the word "Smocktopus" inside.

"Little Pink Floating Octopus Friend." 2025. #artistsonbluesky
Digital art of a stylized little octopus. His base color is bubblegum pink, with splashes of magenta on his head and at the roots of his tentacles. The undersides of his tentacles and their suckers are fuchsia. His bulbous, inquisitive eyes are a muted mushroom color with rounded rectangular pupils and a bright white spot of reflective light. At the four corners of the picture are pearl-green plants with multiple layers of crinkly petals. Their centers are golden-brown. The background is a deep, inky blue with orbs of pale light scattered throughout.

#Throwback to a piece I did of Dr. @reallycheddar.bsky.social in 2022! #artistsonbluesky #dragraceuk #dragartists #rupaulsdragrace
A traditional drawing of drag artist extraordinaire Cheddar Gorgeous. The overall look is that of an aristocratic Victorian ghost woman, like a supernatural Miss Havisham. Cheddar's dress is a muted grey-brown with off-white lace flowers on the lapel, a high dark green embroidered collar, and patches of rust and chocolate fabric. The face is pale and angular, with purple accents on the cheeks and lips. The eyes are almost completely black, and appear especially large. Cheddar's hair is a crown of silver swirls with a long cascade of loose hair falling down the back. Throughout the hair are flakes of gold leaf, rendered with that trusted millennial standby: the metallic gel pen.

In which @trixie-mattel.bsky.social models her Amie Sarazan Furby Stole.
A digital portrait of drag artist extraordinaire Trixie Mattel, who models a white fur stole made by Amie Sarazan from the humanely dispatched carcass of a vintage 90s Furby. Trixie's ensemble is a celebration of pink, from her lamé suit with matching headscarf, to her towering curled updo, to her acrylic earrings and acrylic nails. Even her eyebrows are a gorgeous rosy shade that blend elegantly into her hot pink eyeshadow. The background is lilac, and the Furby stole's tiny yellow beak gapes wide.

Zaria Hex from Dropout TV's Dimension 20 campaign "Dungeons And Drag Queens."
Traditional portrait of Zaria Hex, a villain from Dropout TV's Dimension 20 series "Dungeons And Drag Queens." Zaria has muted purple-grey skin suggestive of the undead, and wears spiked, striated dark armor that resembles human musculature. She wears a headpiece with six elongated spikes protruding from it, a cross between the conical hats of medieval noblewomen and a set of demonic antlers. She smirks at the viewer, staring coldly at them with pearlescent eyes. The medium is ink, Copic, and gel pen.

The final picture with and without Annie Lennox's "stars of brightest gold."
