Punk Prince. 👑
Been sitting on this drawing for many months because I wasn't sure what to do with the colours.
Now it may actually be one of my favourite pieces from 2025 😌

#art #drawing #punk #ocArt #comicArt
Drawing of Jasper in a cocky pose and with an assertive, brooding expression, dressed in colourful modern fashion. He has a sceptre hoisted over his shoulder, and the shapy graffiti filigrees in the background have a texture of paint splotches. One of the background elements suggests a crown on Jasper's head. Against the dark background, the bright and saturated tones of pink, yellow and red are shining all the more.

Your head's on fire!

#art #traditionalArt #inkdrawing
Super simple graphical ink drawing of the silhouette of Blanche's head on a black flame. His eyes are indicated as simple black shapes. He seems startled!

Something a little befitting of spooky season.
Doing intricate ink work is fun :)

Ink drawing of Blanche, an elf wizard, treading through the darkness with his light spell to guide him. Behind him, a gritty mass of tendrils and huge hands with eyeballs in concerning places is grasping after him. The text above says: "Extinguish your light, child," said the entity, "and I will take away your uncertainty and pain." "How funny... You'd imagine a spider making such a promise to a fly."

"I'm a wizard, mind you."

Seems like I'm finally finding an approach to watercolours that doesn't confuse me! The key is to keep my materials and workspace so simple and small that I can't put unneccessary pressure on myself, and can just enjoy playing.

#watercolor #traditionalArt #dnd #oc
Watercolour doodle of a cutesy elf wizard with very big pointy ears and super tired eyes. He's holding up his spellbook with little enthusiasm. The water brush pen is visible on the sketchbook page in the photo.

:) ! 🎨

Turns out I haven't actually done many full-color illustrations this year yet - or too many commission pieces I'm not allowed to share yet - but these are all from my personal stash and I loved working on them!

#color_wheel #the_color_wheel #illustration #digitalArt
A color wheel with eight compartments, showcasing a drawing to fit each color. Most of them are background pieces from my game, showing cozy forest and Biedermeier sceneries!

I drew an NPC from our current #dnd campaign! This is Darla, the were-boar blacksmith 🔨

#art #characterDesign #dndCharacter #oc
A tall muscular woman wielding a hammer and blacksmithing clasps. She is wearing a metal face shield, her light hair is pulled back into a ponytail, and her legs resemble those of a boar.

"Are you implying that I might be haunted, dear? Not to dismiss your theory altogether, but it seems more likely that this is a me-problem, don't you think?"

Moth's sprites for Lunchbreaks! His story will involve a lot of spooky goodness, with a twist 👻

#lovewood #art #oc #indieGame #gameDev
Sprite preview for Moth, a suave young man with bronze skin and long dark brown hair. He is smiling confidently on the left and tensely clutching a broom on the right.

Jasper's sprites are done! He's ready to arrive at the sleepy town of Liebwald and stir things up a bit 😈

Next up I'll draw the remaining background art for the game!

#art #gameDev #indieDev #visualNovel #oc #characterDesign
Sprite preview for Jasper. He's a short young man with blonde hair, wearing a blue and white fancy outfit with the emblem of the Tailor's Guild on his waistcoat. His expressions give off a smug energy.

Just finished and submitted my entry for #DrawEverythingJune2025 ! Here are two more drawings I really ended up loving 💖

I may end up colouring the group shot, it makes me happy to see the whole Lovewood cast together like this 🥰

#DEJ #DrawEverythingJune #DEJ2025 #art #traditionalArt
Ink drawing of Nord doing an acrobatic handstand as if part of a dance choreography! Ink drawing of the six original love interests in Lovewood all together for day 19. Atlas is carrying Nord piggyback, and Blossom is reaching for Moth and Aleth to make sure they're not lagging behind.

#DrawEverythingJune2025 is going strong! I'm having a lot of fun with these poses 💖

#oc #inkDrawing #lovewood
Ink drawing of Nord and Kaileen trying to drag Jasper by the arm. All are wearing swimwear and Kaileen is cheering "Let's go! You can swim, right?" Ink drawing of a young Oberon, kneeling as if delivering a bow, with oak leaves swirling around. Coloured drawing of Moth and Jasper sitting back to back. Moth's side features purple columbines, whereas Jasper's side has red ones. Ink drawing of Nord standing sassily.

Darkest hour

#pokemon #pokemonSwSh #bede #rivalBede #fanArt #traditionalArt
Ink drawing of Challenger Bede, sitting on a bench in an alley, with his Ponyta next to him. He is leaned forward and crying, one hand dug into his curly hair and the other holding the watch he received from the Chairman.

Drawing of sygna suit Bede, ready to toss his pokeball. There's scrutiny, in his gaze, a mixture of pain, disdain and resolve.

My VN Invisible Seams has received a French translation, provided by the wonderful Bedan! 💖
That makes the game available in three languages now - English, German and French!

You can pick it up for a mere couple bucks in Itch right here: ladyicepaw.itch.io/invisible-se...

"Say, since you are a healer... Do you know about any illnesses that mess with someone's magic?"

Atlas is the most skillful cook in Liebwald, though he would be too humble to accept the title. I'm looking forward to sharing the story for him!

#oc #art #lunchbreaks #lovewood #indieDev #gameDev
Sprite preview for Atlas, a young man with faun-like features, wavy brown hair and a chin beard. He has a gentle and reserved habitus.

Trial by Fury!! 🔥
Recently created this illustration for MOTI's "Undertale Yellow Bytes - Trial by Fury" video and I'm thrilled I got to contribute to such a banger 😊

#art #uty #undertaleYellow #illustration #gunCW #fanArt
Fan art for Undertale Yellow, showing the genocide fight between Ceroba and Clover. Ceroba is dashing towards her opponent with fury in her eyes, throwing up thick clouds of dust in the fiery desert environment. Clover is gritting their teeth and pointing their revolver straight at the woman before them.

Silly idea of "What if Bede had been recruited by Giovanni instead of Opal?" that turned into a drawing I actually liked 🦋
#pokemon #pokemonFanArt #art #pokemonSwSh
Drawing of Bede from Pokemon Sword and Shield, dressed in a Team Rocket uniform and posing ready for battle. The text says "You've been challenged by Rocket apprentice Bede". He is smirking and is accompanied by his trusty Duodem and Hattrem, as well as a small Ground-Psychic pokemon that he probably received from Giovanni.

"Aight, silverware's not your thing? Have a looksie at this potion! With just one sip of this Mana Potion (I think...) you can recover your magic for a whole day, no sleep required! Mighty convenient, isn't it?"

Cobweb, a side character from the current game WIP. Sleezy enough to be fun 😉
#indieDev
Sprite preview of Cobweb, a fairy lady with fair skin and dark gray hair, and the ears and tail of a raccoon. The skin around her eyes is darker to give her the classic thief mask. She is carrying a huge backpack and is showing off more trinkets and knickknacks on the inside of her jacket.

A doodle of a character I'll be playing in the next TTRPG one-shot! The little guy's got it rough, but he has the making of a sorcerer, I tell you ✊

#dnd #anthro #furryArt #art #traditionalArt #ttrpg #eyeContact
Pencil sketch on a sepia background of a humanoid bunny kid, kneeling and smiling timidly. He is dressed in worn-down clothing and the bucket he is holding in his hands has seen better days, but the water inside is clean!

Some more sprites from the current game in progress! 🍀Kaileen is an enthusiastic gardener with a love for all things that grow. But why exactly is it that she can't stand to talk about dead things?

#lovewood #indieDev #visualNovel #art #oc #originalArt
Sprite previous of three example poses, showing a young woman wearing blue overalls, gumboots and a white shirt. She has fox ears and a tail, and her hair is dark blonde, long and poofy. On the far left she is curiously jotting something down in a notebook, in the middle she is giggling, and on the right she is wiping her eyes from sorrow.

If you're looking for something wintery to play during the season, I can offer a short and sweet visual novel about two fellas surviving a harsh winter. ❄️
ladyicepaw.itch.io/wttti

It's free, and it may very well be the story I'm proudest of thus far. 💙

#visualNovel #indieGame #indieDev #renpy
A screenshot of two young men looking out through the window of a cottage. Snow is reaching all the way up to the windowsill. The textbox says "The sun had just started to rise, its light crept through the overhung sky and reflected off perfectly white snow." A screenshot of a boy navigating the treetops in the forest during a snow storm. The textbox says "It was a path he knew like the back of his hand. And yet when the storm raged on and clouded his vision, he could barely tell birch from beech".

Wishing everyone a happy midwinter! This year's portrait was of Oberon. ❄️ ☃️
He has a Santa-like laugh when you catch him off-guard.

#lovewood #christmas #traditionalArt #drawing #originalArt
Portrait of a man with fuzzy pointed fairy ears, long curly dark brown hair and a full beard. He is looking dreamily off to the side, and is framed by mistletoe, cinnamon, acorns and an orange slice. There's a snowy forest indicated in the background. The surrounding paper is beige.
