Tibalt was sadly returned back to us - his attempt at a forever home will have to go again. Any little donations on Ko-fi would be greatly appreciated as we have six cats and taking on another is a bit hard. ❤️😻

Bringing these cuties back - Baphomet adoptables I sold! I'm thinking maybe of doing some more in the future? 🐐

#art #adoptables #digitalart
Four adoptables of goat-anthro ladies, each wearing different styles of outfits with different horns and hair. The first is cottage-core themed, the second is punk.

The third has a 'light academia' style, while the fourth is general queer fashion, with rainbows and bright colors.

2014 vs 2023
Honestly, what a difference those nine years make! Here's to more improvement in the future (and less art block). ✨
Rendered illustration of a brown-haired light skinned woman wearing a green shirt and wielding a small blaster pistol. She has a confident look on her face. Medium grey background, waist high pose of the character. Blue tiefling female with a black dress and gold trim holding a long staff with a death-mask face leaking ichor. Her right arm and head are dropped with gold, her right hand is mechanical and made from it. Yellow butterflies hover around her open palm. Her skull is cracked at the side to reveal pomegranate seeds. She is a warlock whose patron is the god of decay.

A ghoul cowboy named Oliver. 🦬
For @drudenkreuz.bsky.social
Side portrait of a ghoul from the Fallout series. He has reddish-pink skin, half rotted with radiation, with huge chunks of dark red exposed muscle beneath. The half of his face facing the camera has an exposed jaw, in which the teeth and jaw muscle can be seen. Clenched between his front teeth is a cigarette, gently wafting smoke. He wears a black hat with a buckle inlaid with turquoise, a black bandana and black trenchcoat, cut off at bust-level. Around the portrait is a flat gold circle with the shape of a bison on the top and a bison skull at the bottom.

An older commission I did for @danipanteez.bsky.social and their adorable druid! 🦦🌿

#art #digitalart #humanartist
A half body illustration of a grey half orc lady with brown locs that gradient to pink towards the tips. One half of her hair is pulled into a loose ponytail while the other half trails down her back and shoulders.

Lichen and mushrooms grow from cracks in her leather bracers and erupt from the tip of her wooden staff. Her skin has white patches on the cheek and forehead, and two tiny tusks peak from her lips. Her eyes are brownish-red and looking at the viewer. At her side flies a hummingbird and swimming beside her, an otter pup.

Had an amazing trip up to Duluth and will show off pictures in this thread but wanted to show off my fav antique find I got while there - this awesome CICADA vase! We think it might be a souvenir from France as there was a cicada ceramic craze? Unsure!
A white ceramic vase with a ceramic black cicada attached to its side. Painted on it are black olives surrounded by green leaves and black vines. There is a colorful bouquet of flowers inside the vase! A white ceramic vase with a ceramic black cicada attached to its side.

Tibalt, the tiny stray we found a few weeks ago, has gone to his new home today. It's bittersweet, I love him so much and am so happy we were able to rescue him and foster him out, but it is sad to see him go. 😭🥺💕

Older portrait commission of a changeling boy! ✨
#art #digitalart #illustration

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

(If this doesn't convince you nothing else will!)

Yuri is my most favorite OC I've ever made and helped me with my gender journey so much! He's a character chalk full of trauma but also about overcoming it - his main goal is to literally redeem the soul of his devil patron, because of an angel can fall, can't a devil rise?

some san'layn boys from a campaign a long time ago...I might bring them back in some form or another (esp auryn, my darling boy) #art #oc #digitalart
Concepts of two San'layn, one named Abrus and the other Auryn. Abrus stands taller of the two, with black shining armor that looks like insect-chiton. He has long white hair and red markings on his face and under his eyes. His cape forms two 'bug wings', and he has heeled boots. Auryn stands shorter, with white hair and the same facial markings. He wears dark brown leather armor, a corset revealing a diamond of his chest beneath and white sleeves. His pants are tight and he has calf-high boots and dark gloves. Two more concepts for vampiric characters. The first is Locus, who has a colorful outfit on, featuring an orange puffy under-shirt and a criss-crossed leather top and red sash on his waist. He has harem-style pants on with fanciful embroidery at the bottom. On his belt he has white kabuki-style masks. The last is Henbane, a scientist, wearing a large grey apron, split at the middle, one side darker than the other. He wears long, dark glove splattered in blood. The apron extends down to his ankles, below which are two leather boots with metal spurs. On his belt are a variety of surgical instruments. At his side, a small black rooster with orange tailfeathers (that secretly is a basilisk).

decided to take a break from stress and go rock-hunting yesterday, look at this beautiful area we came across
Photo of a scenic meadow, green tall grass with a small Creek running through it. Tall trees frame the background. Photo of a waterfall running through piles of grey weathered rock, surrounded by lush foliage and trees. It is very peaceful.

many cats have a weird Particular Favorite Object that they obsess over. Sometimes it's a favorite mousie or sometimes it's a block of wood and then sometimes there's cats like Andre and his favorite object, a block of crinoid fossils
Photograph of a big black cat with noticeable chuffs with his head tilted down and rubbing on a block of crinoid fossils in front of him. Photograph of the same big black cat with noticeable chuffs with his block of crinoid fossils in front of him. He is now hunkered down and looking at the camera, quite proud of his block. There is a bit of accumulated fluff from grooming himself on the rock on his neck.

something that reshaped the way I draw heads - if person looking up, ears will be lower than the eyes, if person looking down, ears will be placed higher than the eyes (apologies for scribbly example)
Doodle of a head looking up and a head looking down, to demonstrate the placement of the ears.

Hey congrats on the 14k, you are amazing! I'm Nina (or Rhys), I'm a concept artist over at EA and I love drawing demon gals as you can see.
Concept art for a female demon girl named Glamdora. There is a main concept with a pink skinned demoness with red tattoos and curly brown horns. She wears a black crop top and green skirt with leggings and black boots. To the side are different iterations of her face with different horns, some decorated and some not. On the far right are two different concepts for her arm sleeve tattoo, one red and geometric and the other a snake winding through clouds. Illustration of a female oni, a Japanese demon, with vibrant pink skin and white hair. She's sipping boba, a blue straw in her mouth as she casually looks at the viewer. She wears a black sports bra and high waisted blue shorts and black sandals. She has a curly tail tipped with white hair. On her arm is a snake tattoo. Reference sheet of a pink skinned, purple haired tiefling girl doing a peace sign towards the viewer. She wears a frilly white skirt, an off-the-shoulder blue blouse and brown leather heeled boots with purple bows. Her tail has a frilly white sleeve on the end, which is spade-shaped and pierced. She has crescent shaped horns and wears a star shaped pin in her hair. There is a separate call out of her smiling with shap teeth and a side view showing how her horns connect. Blue tiefling female with a black dress and gold trim holding a long staff with a death-mask face leaking ichor. Her right arm and head are dropped with gold, her right hand is mechanical and made from it. Yellow butterflies hover around her open palm. Her skull is cracked at the side to reveal pomegranate seeds. She is a warlock whose patron is the god of decay.
