I've just finished reading The Folk of the Air series and while I have mixed feelings about the books (I really wanted to like them more than I did!) I did enjoy Cardan and the general faerie aesthetic 💖

A gentle reminder - don't feed the wood nymphs or else they'll never leave you alone 🙄

A new personal piece for my portfolio.

⚠️ Art theft alert! ⚠️

There's a person on Artstation who stole artwork from different artists (including mine), slapped a watermark on it, and is pretending it's theirs to get scam commissions.

Check to see if your artwork has been stolen and submit a DMCA report: www.artstation.com/gardinerr__z...

Reminder to myself (and to whoever needs to hear) it that it's important to dare sharing your art, even if you think it's not good enough or it's pointless. Everyone has their own unique artistic voice that adds value to the world and deserves to be seen 💖

Fabric studies! I love painting fabric and drapery with references, but it's something I struggle with doing just from imagination. Fingers crossed some knowledge has rubbed off with these 😆

References mostly from the amazing Armstreet, plus a couple I found on Pinterest.

Be excited about your work and others will follow.

Cringe isn't real. It's a word people use to shut down others who have big feelings and big dreams.

Be 100% you. There will always be someone who resonates.

✨💖 Date Night 💖 ✨

A new personal piece that I’ve been working on for what feels like forever.

Done mostly as environment practice but I couldn’t resist throwing in these two lovebirds on a night out 😍

These are two older commissions but I'm still really happy with how they came out! They are two related characters from the same campaign. Love painting fancy swords ⚔️

Consuming too much art and drawing too little can often lead to this.

Art is inspiring, but if you’re getting the opposite effect, it might be time to take a break from scrolling and draw instead.
