Hi Dami! I'm Kristen (or KC), I love painting fantasy and nature-related themes; here's a small sampling of art of my OCs, as well as others' OCs I've drawn (: Info about all of them in the alt text. I hope you feel better soon! 🫶
A painting of one of my deity OCs, a pale, masked figure surrounded by thunderclouds and accompanied by two frigate birds; one sits on their left shoulder, spreading its wings behind their head, while the other perches in the foreground. Their mask is winged and contains thunderclouds and lightning; their red hair streams out behind and above them. They embody Death, Transformation, and Storms. A sketchy painting of my friend @suedraws.bsky.social's character, Dale Bishop. A man with short brown hair and two long scars on his face stands amidst dripping, undulating strands of vivid green magic in front of an eerily lit street scene in shades of purple and yellow. He has an expression of unhinged glee, and he wears a dark suit with a white tie, and strands of Mardi Gras beads around his neck. Shadowy creatures peer out from the buildings, and yellow searchlights illuminate the background. There is a marquee where the word "END" is spelled, rising above the scene. Art fight attack from 2024; the OC depicted and her species were created by @ct-verse on tumblr. A waist-up portrait of a young, dark-skinned woman with wavy dark blue-green hair and blue-green eyes; one section of her hair is a paler color. Her name is Aiyla, and she is a young member of a species called Mesperans, Giant Space-Time bugs that live between dimensions in the multiverse and are protectors of peace and order. This artwork is of her humanoid form. Aiyla wears a uniform reminiscent of a military uniform, and is saluting the viewer; her scarf, which acts as another pair of arms, is also saluting! Aiyla's bug-wings appear as ghostly designs behind her, and she is surrounded by stars. A painting of two of my OCs, Merith, a sun goddess, and Danuke (aka Dani), a trans man, plus a griffin accompanying Merith. In the bottom half of this painting, a young man with brown skin and dark brown hair (Dani) raises a cupped hand with a conjured witch light inside; additional witch lights hover above him. He is entangled in vines and his garb is pierced by blades which radiate outward from behind him. Behind his head is a golden shield which creates a halo effect. The shield is held by an ethereal woman with thick, textured hair that glows gold and orange (Merith). She wears golden armor and a feathered cloak. She has two pairs of wings which frame the male figure. To the left, a griffin lowers its head next to her face. The tips of its wings overlap the woman’s wings, and a lion’s tail coils around to the bottom right corner of the image.

had to qp this one and add alt text cause this is sending me.
An edit of the meme "Kids had their fun already"/"Now it's real mens' turn" where the words "kids" and "real mens'" have both been crossed out and replaced with the word "bisexuals." Official art of Zagreus, the protagonist from the first Hades game, is positioned next to the text "bisexuals had their fun already." Official art of Melonie, the protagonist from Hades II, is positioned next to the text "Now it's bisexuals' turn."

The 1st drawing is the 1st piece of art I made in 2020, actually in January of that year. My Master's classes had shifted to online-only, we were isolating, I hadn't made much of anything for the previous three...five years. Had been deeply depressed, started to see some light, then COVID hit (1/2)
Text reading "Art at beginning of COVID." A simple drawing of the Inner Solar System; the three innermost planets orbit the Sun, with their orbital paths depicted as thick strokes of gold, and rough colored strokes emanating out from each of the planets, plus the Earth's Moon. The background is a solid dark blue. Text reading "Vs. Now!" A painting of a celestial manta ray accompanied by equally ethereal remora fish, swimming in front of the Monkey Head Nebula, which appears to have coral growing on it. The nebula is a mix of rusty reds and oranges with purple and dark red shadows. The ray and the remoras are glowing and transparent white-blue, like ghosts; stars shimmer behind and around them.

Show me an image on your phone that has your energy but is not a selfie.
Crop from a medieval painting in which a very put-upon looking saint writes in a book while surrounded by chaotic gremlin devils and demons, also holding books. An angel grasps the main figure by the shoulders. The image is captioned "When you're a substitute teacher and you can't control the class." The bottom of the image reads, "Posted in r/trippingthroughtime by u/allthisforacamaro."

An illustration of a huge, ethereal spirit in the form of a snowy owl flying above an icy ocean, rendered in white and shades of blue and purple. The Northern Lights dance around the creature and seem to emanate from its wings and head. The almost fluorescent green ribbons of light reflect on the water below, but the spirit’s form does not. The silhouette of a steamboat on the water is dwarfed by the spirit in the sky above. The artist's signature appears in the bottom left corner.

A portrait of a male tabaxi player character from Dungeons & Dragons. He is modeled after a lynx, with tufted ear, long sideburns, and a white muzzle. He has light green eyes, a smirk on his face, and wears the attire of a roguish noble. His bright blue cape swirls and undulates behind him.

A painting of a light-skinned, black-haired woman wearing a red and black dress. She is a magic-user who is playing a gittern (a predecessor of the guitar) and is accompanied by her familiar, a floating manta ray which is a soft pink color. Her lower right arm is missing and is replaced by a ghostly transparent arm. She stands near the ocean and is surrounded by coastal plants, including yellow sand verbena flowers. The tone of the painting is bright and naturalistic; the ocean fades palely in the distance.

A painting of a climbing red rose plant which blends into a starry sky. A nebula is superimposed over and emanates from the center-most rose, and bright ribbons of blue, yellow, and yellow-green extend from the nebula to the roses on either side of the center-most rose.

A realistic painting of an Anthurium andraeanum, commonly known as flamingo flower, tailflower, painter's palette, oilcloth flower, or laceleaf. The blooms of the plant are a vibrant red with orange highlights and resemble heart-shaped leaves with long yellow stamens that are vaguely corn-like. The red blooms are contrasted with bright green leaves in the foreground and dark green and blue hues in the background, with barely visible foliage emerging from the darkness. The flowers and the leaves shine with beads of dew.

A drawing of a female dwarf wizard named Sosa, a Dungeons and Dragons character created by my friend Jazzy. Sosa is held aloft in the air by swirling sands in the form of a small twister; her magic staff is a glassblower’s pipe with a molten sphere of glass at the top. Red glowing lines of magical power radiate from her staff. Behind her is the sea, which reflects the silhouette of a distant volcano, softly backlit by a crescent moon and the setting sun.

A portrait of Princess Peach holding a black lace parasol, wearing a matching black, lacy top which shows off her tattoos, which extend from her collarbone to her shoulders and down her arms. The tattoos depict peach fruit, flowers, and other flora. The lighting is muted and overcast, with pale gold highlights playing on her blonde hair and her pointed crown. Her design is inspired by a piece by the artist Slampbell.

Pfp/owner 🌺🌊
A self-portrait of the artist, KCimaginary. She has a short, dark brown pixie haircut with bangs that sweep to the right, wears cat’s eye eyeglasses with dark navy frames, and has brown eyes and a light pink complexion. In her uplifted right hand, she holds a black Wacom pen that trails pink/magenta light. She wears a yellow shirt and a black sweater with yellow embroidery depicting space objects, such as a crescent moon on one shoulder and a comet below her hand. She is flanked by dogwood blooms to the left and a trailing lavender/pink clematis plant on her right. A sunflower peeks in front of the cuff of her sweater, and a starry blue sky fades to pink and yellow light at the artist’s shoulders. A selfie taken by the artist while standing against a railing overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which is slate gray on a spring day. She is wearing the same glasses, but the lenses have darkened in the sunlight. She wears a lightweight black hoodie with a turquoise t-shirt underneath and the strap of a sling back across her shoulder. In her free hand, she's attempting to throw up a peace sign but her thumb is sticking out awkwardly for some reason.

If you see this, quote post your cat art 🐱
A painting of a black and white cat lying slightly above the viewer, with faint, fuzzy foliage in the background. She has a small black patch on her chin and a small black spot on her pink nose. Her back, exterior ears, and the fur around her eyes are black. The rest of her muzzle, cheeks, and above her nose are white. Her front leg and chest are also white, with another small black patch on her right paw. She has very fluffy white hair in her ears. Her eyes are a greenish, amberish color and her pupils are narrow slits. A portrait drawing of a round-faced brown tabby cat with big green eyes, a white chin and a patch of white neck floof. His face is framed by daisies and grasses. A black and grayscale ink drawing of a cat's head viewed from the side. Her ears are tilted forward and she side-eyes the viewer. She is a tortoiseshell with dark markings around her right ear, chin, and scattered across her cheek. A painting of a small white cat with brown markings on her face and back with a soft, pastel pink background that transitions into a pale green. She wears a tiny tiara set with white stones.

Hi Nex, Thanks for the #artshare! I'm heavily inspired by my awe of nature, as well as mythology and storytelling from around the world.🌍

Their mask is winged and contains thunderclouds and lightning; their red hair streams out behind and above them. A painting of a celestial manta ray accompanied by equally ethereal remora fish, swimming in front of the Monkey Head Nebula, which appears to have coral growing on it. The nebula is a mix of rusty reds and oranges with purple and dark red shadows. The ray and the remoras are glowing and transparent white-blue, like ghosts; stars shimmer behind and around them. A painting of a starry purple nebula with three peony flowers growing in front of it with lush green stalks and leaves and blush-pink blooms. Some of the stars appear to be emanating from inside of the blooms. A portrait of a woman staring directly at the viewer. On the right side of the portrait, her head and face are ordinary flesh and hair, but on the left side of the painting, she appears to be a stone statue with a hollow eye socket. The “statue” side has several large cracks beginning from the hairline, below the nose, and on the chin which continue to the “flesh” side as deep cuts in her face that glow red in places. Her hair, which is dark brown on the “flesh” side, is pulled back and decorated with a beaded headdress which has golden leaves hanging from it. The headdress is broken near the crack in the “statue” side’s forehead.The woman is backlit from a rapidly spreading fire in the background.

Hi Lex, thanks for the #artshare! Here are a couple of recent paintings I'm fond of 😊

The nebula is a mix of rusty reds and oranges with purple and dark red shadows. The ray and the remoras are glowing and transparent white-blue, like ghosts; stars shimmer behind and around them. A colorful and surreal painting of a swarm of moon jellies that seem to form part of a nebula. Their translucent bodies float and drift in space as they would in the ocean. Stars glimmer from within them and around them, with a single closer, brighter star forming the focal point of the painting.

Thanks for the art share!! I LOVE the colors and warmth of that piece <3 Here are a few of my paintings that feature the ocean! Though many of them have more icy/cold vibes than beachy...😅

The silhouette of a steamboat on the water is dwarfed by the spirit in the sky above. A loosely-rendered painting of an icy oceanscape. Chunks of ice of a myriad of organic shapes float in the dark water off into the horizon, stopping only on the snowy shores of a strange and mysterious place covered in tall, all silver-white trees–not pines or another evergreen as one might expect, but resembling deciduous trees. A few snowflakes swirl through the air, and on the horizon, a mountain range is just visible through storm clouds. There are barely visible figures outline by the wind–some kind of spirits, perhaps? A painting of the planet Neptune resting in what simultaneously appears to be rippling ocean waves and a starry sky.

The jellyfish’s arms contain more stars and one unfortunate fish has been caught by them.
