post an archer 🏹 ♐️
OC Sagittarius- as a centaur with a white horse body. She has blonde hair, dark eyes and a warm-toned, pale complexion. She wears a sparkly yellow-orange top with a double strap over one shoulder, a light blue choker with an arrow symbol, an orange archery glove and bracer. She strikes a pose with a bow in her left hand.

Trying to get faster at drawing, so I'm doing 1-minute gesture drawings with Quickposes.
Digital gesture drawings, various sketches of people in different poses. Text reads "17 gestures, 20 min session."

Making a couple adjustments- I think the upper leg armor was needed for overall balance.
Ireena- colors adjusted for contrast, with the addition of plate armor on her upper legs and some light rendering

...Would anyone like to give me more followers than Adobe? I make art and I support other artists.
Establishing shot of Daggerford, from the DND setting of Faerun; centered on a half-timber cottage with a raised garden bed and a clothesline on the side. Barbie and Ken mugshots meme, except it's a very pathetic-looking Jack Seward and Abraham Van Helsing from Dracula.

It’s Herbert’s Gotcha Day! Four years ago, I found this little orange guy with “the saddest little meows” looking for a home, and he has filled my life with mischief, bread thievery, snuggles and love.
Herbert, an orange tabby cat sitting on a desk between two screens. Herbert, an orange tabby cat, snuggled up in a dog bed in front of a window. Herbert, an orange tabby cat, perched at the top of a cat tree, laying his head on his front paws. Herbert, an orange tabby cat, sunbathing on a large flat rock in a garden.

Trying to draw after the longest January of all time
Rough sketch of a landscape with a church on a hill. Mist rolls over the distant mountains, and ghostly green lights around the church yard wind up a distant peak to a silhouette of a castle at the top.

No LGB without the T
A photo of a person holding a cat protectively in their arm with a gun raised in the other hand. The cat is labeled “trans women”, the person is labeled “me”, and the gun is labeled “an actual gun”.

I'm doubling down. Winston is gay as hell for this.
Highlighted excerpt from 1984 by George Orwell: "The girl with dark hair was coming towards them across the field. With what seemed a single movement she tore off her clothes and flung them disdainfully aside. Her body was white and smooth, but it aroused no desire in him, indeed he barely looked at it. What overwhelmed him in that instant was admiration for the gesture with which she had thrown her clothes aside."

Just started 1984. Winston seems kinda 🏳️‍🌈
Highlighted passage in 1984 by George Orwell: "Winston had seen O’Brien perhaps a dozen times in almost as many years. He felt deeply drawn to him, and not solely because he was intrigued by the contrast between O’Brien’s urbane manner and his prize-fighter’s physique. Much more it was because of a secretly held belief—or perhaps not even a be- lief, merely a hope—that O’Brien’s political orthodoxy was not perfect.

Title card for Chapter 0 of Fortune's Fools. Progress is very slow but it's still being made.
Title page: a tarot card-style illustration with Delviel seated on a dead tree, tuning her lute. Branches with leaves magically sprout out of her instrument. A raven swoops down to land beside her, and the wind sweeps up pale, dead leaves in the foreground. The card is labeled "0. Strangers from the Mist"

There was a book review of Dracula that described Seward as "Mr. Bram Stoker's Noodle-In-Chief" and I think about that a lot. I gave Friend John a "strong jaw" like he's described in the book, but I think he turned out too hot. Oh well.
Bust illustration of Jack Seward, with a character design notes section which reads "John 'Jack' Seward; sharp, linear features, glasses-- piercing sleepless eyes, early aging, short king; meticulous, mindful, idealistic, loyal, skeptical, brooding; 9 February 1864" with the symbols for Aquarius Pisces and Virgo beside the birth date.

Bust illustration of Jonathan Harker, with various reference images and draw-overs for study. In the center are lists of character notes, which read "Jonathan Harker; classical profile, sensitive eyes, boyish face, "mismatched" body; devoted, driven, polite, perceptive, selfless, secretive; 5 Jan 1872" with the symbols for Capricorn, Scorpio and Taurus listed beside the birth date.

"What do you have to do? Believe in yourself and wear the outfit." So true. @halfmoonjoe.com
An illustration of halfmoonjoe's Infinity Nikki avatar. She wears a black leather beret, dangling half-moon earrings, a choker, a cropped black corset top with crossing straps, black half-gloves, a fur wrap, a skirt with a star pattern and a ribbon around the waist, and a necklace of pearls. She poses with her hand over her necklace, and there are sparkling star accents beside her wrists. A purple speech bubble points to her and reads: "Pearls are dated"?! Nooo, pearls are coming back!
