After watching the latest Gastronauts, I NEED to know if @erikaishii.bsky.social has ever tried flying saucers/fizzy UFOs, a.k.a, the ‘I want to eat drywall’ experience

We’ve also started putting colour down on my partner’s #outerwilds tattoo! Next is background, then we’ll touch things up before moving onto the outer space/planet elements 👀

Artists QRP with your favourite portrait you’ve drawn!

It’s just a sketch but it’s a nice feeling to draw your own OC and like… the exact vibe you wanted for them… my sweet boy…

RED HEADS YOU SAY? The only art of her I have so far is by the lovely @aaronschmit.bsky.social, but here is my gal Roselin! She has a leprechaun mythos in the City of Mist TTRPG, and uses her insane luck to win out the local casinos. She owns a burlesque parlour and cares for all her girls there!!
Illustration of Roselin Gallagher a short, curvy woman with bright red/orange hair, green eyes and freckles. She wears a dark green coatailled bunny suit, small leprechaun styled hat, and earrings of five leaf clovers. She has a very show-girl style pose and is winking at the viewer with a big smile

I’ve been super quiet here oops, dealing with art block and a general feeling of overwhelm, but helping me through it is this mini project I started of a journal that’s just a lore/character guide to the liminal space ttrpg I’m in
A journal page detailing information about a person named CHESTNUT A journal page detailing information about a person named WAX… or it should be, it’s covered in red ‘confidential’ stamps and through them you can read that this is restricted information A journal page detailing information about a person named VANILLA

I keep forgetting to post here but I am so proud of how this cover up went (before and after!)

And we love a bit of a niche movie reference

Fun fact: my partner and I started talking regularly bc he was in a TTRPG campaign I was set to join and would listen in on and am very invested in, so our first proper talks are me asking for character refs and details so I could draw them

So here’s CRAB

#art #ocart
Illustration of a large man with tan skin (with tan lines). He has mid length beach blonde hair with brown roots, a moderate amount of body hair, and wears a Hawaiian shirt (unbuttoned), board shorts, and flip flops The same character as before, same build and pose, but vastly different in appearance. He’s taken on a more ocean monster like form. His ‘hair’, while the same length and style, now consists of tentacles, his skin is varying shades of blue, and he has webbed hands and feet (though his left leg is a prosthetic with an octopus detail and barnacles, seemingly dripping water.) He no longer wears flip flops, but he still wears the same shirt and shorts, though the shirt is now torn up due to the growth of various fins and spines The same ocean monster design, but now displaying blue and green bioluminescence on the fins and body

Our Girl By Moonlight campaign is approaching it’s conclusion and I’m not ready to say bye to my tired divorced english teacher turned magical girl (gender neutral) turned birdman

#art #ocs #ocart
An illustration of a masculine harpy-like figure. He’s humanoid, but with large wings protruding from his lower back, and his legs are bird-like. He wears a maroon vest and pale button up shirt, where a glowing pink crystal heart can be seen on his chest. Feathers grow along with his hair, which is long and tied in a ponytail, and his bespectacled face is angular, akin to an owl’s features The same figure as the previous sketch, but with wings folded back as he looks over his shoulder with a stern expression, book and quill in hand
