Fine artist creating surreal wildlife paintings in acrylic and mixed media.

My work explores vibrancy, symbolism, and nature’s cycles - creation, life, death, and decay - in it's most beautiful aspects.

Some fun graphics for KeepersofEniv.com
(all by me but the soul orb and star jewelry on the Enivi, those are done by GreyManticoreArt).

Had a lot of fun making the golden wheel with gems!

Love to see it!

Ohhhh I'm still new to this and not really understanding it all, but would my work be suited for these?
Admittedly, I have no idea how feeds work, haha.

Hoping everyone is having a peaceful Wednesday!

That's an amazing increase in accounts, and still such a chill atmosphere!

My name is Tony, I'm a trans artist who loves to paint whimsical animals and nature. Like a lot of other people, I'm trying to rebuild here with bsky as my new social home!

I don't know why but it felt like a good day to post some eyes :B

Share your eyes?

Started autumn off sick, unfortunately.
Not doing great, but here are a few of my favorite pieces.

Help me make it to 100 followers?

HEY!
SHOW ME PAINTINGS OF YOUR PETS!

This is my sweet boy, Kissa.
Well, he's sweet most of the time. Sometimes he's a pain in the butt lol.
This is an older piece, and looking at it, I really should make a new painting of him and my puppo, Ozzy. I'd love to have one of them to hang on the wall.

🍁HAPPY AUTUMN!🍁

The painting isn't finished, but I wanted to share an updated WIP anyway.

It's the first day of fall today (or summer if you live in the upside-down, sorry ;-;)

How are you going to spend your first pumpkin spice season weekend?

A WIP shot of the whole "Ode to Autumn" painting!

Working title? lol
I don't know if I'll be able to finish this in time for the start of fall ( just a few days away!) but I wanted to share a WIP of the painting.

What are your favorite fall memories? 🍁🍂

Another nice little autumn piece of a larger painting!
This is the apple from an upcoming piece I've been chipping away at for a while, and I thought I'd share it since the piece is comprised of a lot of smaller things that remind me of fall.

What makes you think of fall?
September 11, 2023 at 8:34 PM
It's autumn! I'm working on a larger piece while I'm working on commissions, but here's a little bit of it to celebrate.

Also I just love acorns haha

Sometimes you just need to fly away and regrow.

I don't post a whole lot of stuff I make for games on my socials (mostly big illustrations) but I'm loving these little simple icons I made for a sudoku game on KeepersofEniv.com.
Super simple. Small. Quick. But I love them.

Antler!

Along with a detailed, close-up shot of the painted sparrow.

Slowly glazing all my artwork and re-uploading it.

There's so much beautiful work on here! I hope you don't mind if I share mine too.

I'm proud of the steps I've made in the last year to have a healthier mindset, and to have that reflected in my work.

Hey everyone!
I'm Tony, a friendly but easily spooked illustrator/painter in the United States.

I'm currently sitting at 38 followers and trying to get to 100.
If you like my work, maybe give me a little boost?

Thanks very much!

I hope you're all having a Peaceful Monday!

This was another piece that I painted while going through a rough time. I was coming out of some hard depression and trying to find the beauty around the rougher points in life.

How do you go about seeing the brighter side in darker times?
July 31, 2023 at 8:10 PM
Oh! Thank you for the art share post! They've really helped me find artists I'm missing on this site (I just got in less than a week ago).

I'm Tony and I paint whimsical animal stuff!
July 30, 2023 at 1:46 AM
May I offer you an egg on this Friday night?
July 29, 2023 at 2:39 AM
I'm a little late to this but thank you for making it!
I'm Tony, I paint whimsical and mystical animal paintings (and also am looking for other artists who do because I love to follow people with similar interests :D)

"Life" with some closeup details!

Yes, I do the thing you're not supposed to do and I hand-paint the strands of the fur.
Yes, I know you're not supposed to do it.
I only do it in portraits. I love the effect!

Cleansing! Another piece from a few months ago but still one I like.

This was my "I'm getting out of my art funk!" piece.
It felt like breaking free and has a lot of meaning to me in it.

Also, thank you so much to everyone who has been sharing my work.
I'm so incredibly grateful!

My piece, "Antler" and some closeups.

More fun facts about this piece:
It made me want to do a leaf tutorial. I keep telling myself I'm going to because I love painting leaves.
One day I'm gonna get around to that.
