Aspiring digital artist, with a focus mostly on creature design and animals. Maybe some other design stuff occasionally. I don't have anything to sell, just want to share my art and oggle at other people's art (NO AI!)

Ever reluctant to go on a walk, but then feel like nature rewards you for getting out of the house? Anyway, here's a cool wasp nest that fell out of a tree, along with a poor soul that died while emerging from its cell. Feels thematic for halloween.

Happy Halloween! Mind the spirits and don't eat all your candy at once #art #halloween
A digital image depicting a creature called a CandyCornBack Bat-Winged Amphithere, also known as the Halloween Amphithere. The main image on the left depicts a black snake with a white belly, and a candy corn pattern running down its back. It also has a pair of bat wings. Smaller image to the right depicts the snake's head, mouth open revealing a candy corn coloration. A hand is holding a piece of candy corn up to the snake's open mouth. Text on the image reads: CandyCornBack Bat-Winged Amphithere a.k.a Halloween Amphithere This amphithere is the manifestation of Halloween. They only spawn on Halloween night, particularly when the night is clear with a full moon, and are especially attracted to areas with a high number of trick-or-treaters. They are even known to spawn right inside a bucket of candy. These elementals are completely harmless and in fact love eating candy. If they ever bite your finger, it's probably because they thought it was a gummy candy. They say the candy corn pattern on their backs comes from people feeding them their unwanted candy corn. This is so widely believed that people often leave out a bucket full of candy corn on Halloween night to attract one of these elementals.

Thick-billed Raven 🖤

When I learned of this bird about a year ago, I became obsessed and it immediately went onto my to draw list. Finally got around to it, I felt like October was a good month to highlight this cool corvid. #art #artistsofbluesky #raven #birds

some slightly old art for #repostober? Candy corn siphonophore #art #halloween
A digital drawing of a fictional type of siphonophore, whose zooids look like candy corn. The "top" of the creature looks like a corn husk. From the bottom of the zooids are many tentacles. The background is dark blue with smudges, meant to look like an image from the deep sea. Around the edges is a yellow, orange, and white border. At the top right is a paragraph of text that reads: "A species of siphonophore whose zooids look uncannily like candy corn. Alas, experts assure us that they would not taste like candy corn if eaten. Then again, no one has tried."

Page 2 with some more info
Page 2 for the topsoil golem design. This shows off some more details of this creature. Text in image: The “teeth” of these golem are very hard and round, and they grow not just from the jaws but also on the tongue and roof of their mouths. This allows the golem to grind up practically anything they can get into their mouths, including invertebrates, plants, tree bark, and even rocks and bones or carcasses of other dead animals. They consume any and all earthly materials and detritus, and whatever nutrients they do not need are defecated back into the earth, seeding the soil with fine silt and nutrients. These golem are truly blind with no eye structures whatsoever. To “see” their way around, they have specialized whisker-like hairs that grow extra long all over their head and snout. Combined with a keen sense of smell, they are perfectly equipped to navigate their way underground. Know the difference between a molehill and a resting topsoil golem. Molehills will tend to be more lumpy and misshapen in appearance, while the backs of these golem are smoother and more conical in shape. If inspected closely you may also notice a slightly furry texture on the golem. If still in doubt, you can give the lump a tap with your foot before committing to a stomp. A golem’s back will be solid and won’t crumble like a molehill. Just be aware of any cultural taboos around disrupting a golem at rest. The golems may rest at the surface of the ground at different depths, which means the dirt imbedded in their fur along their back will settle and dry at different levels. This may give the hunchback a somewhat layered appearance.

Topsoil golem, an earth elemental that embodies the topmost layer of soil where nutrients are abundant (page 1 of 2).
#art #artistsofbluesky #creaturedesign
A creature design page of a mole-like creature called a Topsoil Golem. Text in image: This elemental lives in the topmost layer of soil where nutrients are abundant. Known for their distinctive hunchbacks and tendency to rest near the surface of the earth, they are often mistaken for molehills. Another common misconception is they are a species of mole, but these creatures are neither moles nor living molehills. Their status as elementals mean they are revered by many, and it is considered taboo to stomp on a molehill, in case it is actually a resting topsoil golem. However, these creatures can be quite destructive as they tend to churn up soil and eat anything they can get into their mouths. This causes friction between those who wish to respect these creatures, and those who want to protect their gardens. Their fur consists of dense, wiry, curly hair that is designed perfectly for capturing dirt. Over time, so much dirt, rock, tree bark, and other materials get captured by the fur that a thick mat forms a kind of shell around the body. This allows these golems to carry soil from one area to another and disperse nutrients, plant seeds, and other necessary materials for life. This enables them to play a critical role in moving soil and nutrients around as well as aerating the soil. They are key in keeping the earth healthy. The bulky bodies mean these creatures are not built for speed. Instead, they use their large paws and claws to plow through the earth. They are slow and tend to go through rather than around objects if possible, making them quite destructive backyard visitors.

I'm designing dragons based on different kinds of cake. #1 is red velvet.

Did you know the original recipe for red velvet got its color from the acid in buttermilk reacting to cocoa powder? The original color is supposed to be more of a darker burgundy. #art #artistsofbluesky #smaugust #dragon
digital drawing of a dragon, meant to represent a red velvet cake. It's dark reddish pink with velvety fur, wings that look like velvet curtains, has velvety antlers, and has a white (or "cream cheese") mane and belly.
