The art // the artist's hand
A tattoo of Zyra, from League of Legends. She's looking sexy, and has red hair and flowers on her body. A photo of my hand, freshly manicured.

Time to post this WIP/pic of... the Other Tink #hellions #hellionsofcarnocht

iykyk
A greyscale illustration of a smug-looking Tink, who is just a little off. He looks too tired, too thin, and his hair is far too long, and draping over his shoulders and the chair he's sitting on. He is smugly smiling, making eye contact with the viewer, and holding four crystal orbs in one hand, in a pose that's reminiscent of the Goblin King from Labyrinth.

Someone should really teach him how to shut his mouth. #kttdnd
A colour illustration of a bruised and battered Yves (tattooed purple tiefling/demon with broken horns and tattoos), being held against a stone wall by a clawed blue hand coming from off screen. He appears to be talking. He's been stabbed in the shoulder, has a black eye, and his nose is bleeding, and appears to be bruised and broken. He looks worried and resigned, and as if he's trying to speak to whoever is off camera.

Not much to show for personal art right now, it's all a bunch of WIPs that might never get finished #kttdnd

Tfw your doppleganger puts you in a prison, but one of your guards appears to be a well meaning child. #kttdnd
A sketch of a nervous, young tiefling, walking towards a tall, broad, older tiefling with a beard. The older tiefling (yves) is smiling gently.

I get it, you were just waiting until I posted one 😌✨

the “sketches” are a little higher priced this time around, but it’s because I always want to spend too much time on them — now I can just plan to spend the time. 💖

Thanks Noah!

I always do this, so why not see if anything's changed on bsky.

I think I look unapproachable, but as long as you're like, not actively being mean to me, I think I'm like a 3/10 as soon as I open my mouth

10/10 if I'm walking around the city tho I'm so sorry

#PortfolioDay part two!

When I'm not tattooing, I'm illustrating scenes & characters from my ttrpg campaigns.

I also open commissions a few times a year and draw other people's characters!

Okay sooo I need to do Halloween tattoo designs. Small fun stuff.

What do folks look for at flash tattoo days?? I'm so stumped. Here are some of my halloween flash from 2022/3 that really blew up. I did cute mothmen last year. Now what??

Anyone want a huge YCH tattoo?

I keep trying to design small flash and failing.
A loose sketch of an elf with a long, fluffy dragon wrapped around them. The wings from the dragon look like they could belong to the elf. There is an archway with a simple night scene behind them.
