I looked and she actually did a video on this book so now I'm like... Did she make the AI image of herself or did he make it? This just raises so many questions. Is it a really, really bad photo retouch?

Either way, seeing that account and seeing this, I think I'm just going to scroll past her now

Hopefully I'm not too late for #portfolioday ! My name is Prior, and I'm an illustrator creature creator. I like folklore, fantasy, horror, and the occult
A WIP doll head of a troll. The head is being held in hand, facing right. It has pale skin, graying hair, and a floppy rabbit like ear. Tusks. The about is moose like. There are pocks and moles in the skin, and caribou like antlers on top the head. White background with bamboo plant racks. An illustration of the bust of a white jackalope like creature with pale eyes and spike horns facing right. It is wreathed by white morning glories and green leaves. Purple-pink tentacles emerge from the leaves. There's a golden halo behind the head and a watermark that reads "whale teeth" A cat like creature facing left. It has black fur and humanoid hands with gilded fingers. The face and ears are pale and fleshy, with fur peeling off. There are some masses that may be tentacles. The face itself is missing, and in its place is a black hole. It is standing up on its hind legs. It is wearing feathers and bones. One hand is raised towards its face, pointing. It appears to be on a desk cluttered with trinkets in the background. An illustration of a pair of jackalopes on aged paper. One is facing right, seated. The other is facing left, behind the first, with its head turned to look right. They're red and grey with pronghorn like horns. It's done on the style of antique naturalist works. Text at the bottom reads "jackalope - lepus cornitus". There's a whale teeth watermark.

I recently went to Meow Wolf here in Denver. Convergence Station does make me want to see the other locations. This whole area was beautiful and reminded me a lot of the inner worlds I try to depict with my dolls and paintings
A feminine humanoid form lays on what appears to be a massive tree trunk. She looks like she's made out of some kind of iridescent stone, her hair flowing over the edge she's on to become a mass. Her feet look more like hands. Her head is facing right, her feet left. The tree is brown with purple lighting. She is a pearly white with pink and blue tones.

We do our best to honor the spirits that inhabit the dolls. Rot is a talkative guy and had a place he liked to hang out in earlier stages. He no longer fits so we set him up with his trinkets and goodies. Old man looks pleased!

We're in the process of moving so things are hectic for us.
A head of a troll with caribou antlers, looking comfortable and pleased, on a cozy scarf. He is surrounded by trinkets and offerings, on a black table. There's a bell, a blue glass vase, a silver urn for incense, some cream and other goodies. There's a box with a blanket draped over it in the background and white French doors.

I ordered some hair for Mr. Rotblossom, so I decided to test it and see. I think the color suits him. This is a WIP of an OOAK art doll of a troll I am currently making.

@nightswooddolls.bsky.social has a tutorial on Patreon for Doll wigs in mohair if you're interested in making dolls of your own
The head of a troll held facing right. He has antlers like a caribou and long floppy ears. Light skin with lumps, bumps, wrinkles, and sores. A hand with a similar skin tone holds the head up, pinning some salt and pepper alpaca wool hair in place by the base of the antlers. There are plants and a white wall in the background.

Pre ordered the most recent from @sgj.bsky.social through the Bookies Bookstore in Denver. Wish I'd been able to see him at Tattered Cover! I'm so excited to read this one
The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. The book is being held by a tattooed hand with light skin in front of a light blue car and road

Starting to paint Rotblossom, a wise old troll.

This is the head of a very large ooak art doll. Cosclay, glass, foil, wire, and Vallejo paints. Oh and springs
The head of a troll with caribou like horns, being held by a person with light skin and tattoos, facing left. It has a floppy ear, and a broken tusk. One eye is squinted. The antlers have been painted in gradient browns. The skin of the troll is slightly ruddier than the the person holding it, and splotchy.

More work on Rotblossom. He's a magnificent old troll, with a lot to teach.

This is an ooak art doll made from cosclay, glass, foil, and wire (so far).
The head of a WIP art doll of a troll in a 3/4 view. He has one eye squinted and the other fully open. He has floppy ears, tusks and gray caribou like antlers. He's being held up in front of a white brick background by a person with light skin, tattoos on the inside of their wrist and a wristband that reads "queer".

More work on this old man troll. His name is Rotblossom and he's an OOAK art doll I'm in the process of making. He's going to be bigger than my other dolls, but that's fitting for a troll.

It feels good to be making art right now

Cosclay, foil, wire, glass
A troll's head sitting on a metal plant rack. He's facing right, his ear is draping over the side. He has gray horns like a caribou.

Some progress on Rotblossom. He's a very old troll, a grandfather of many other trolls — and a teacher of troll magic.

This is a WIP of a OOAK art doll, made with cosplay, tinfoil, and glass eyes. If you like trolls and other such hidden folk, check out @nightswooddolls.bsky.social for amazing art
A close up on the troll's head, facing left. It has a long, droopy, face with a tusk sticking out from its slips and a big bumpy wart on its nose. The eye is half open. It doesn't have ears yet. It's against a white background with my hand holding it up. It has gray sculpted antlers like a caribou The troll head seen facing right. You can see all of the pointy antlers, and a larger tusk. The eye is wider open than the first image.

Working on another OOAK doll of a Troll, influenced by Scandinavian folklore, the art of Brian and Wendy Froud, John Bauer, and @iriscompiet.bsky.social -- who you should follow if you don't already. This one is going to be a big boy! I'm excited to be working on trolls ♥️
A sculpture of a troll in progress. It is only a head, done in a tan clay and attached to a jar. It is facing left. The skin is very wrinkled, there's a tooth sticking out from the lips and springs where ears will be.

Sketching some troll folk...

Here's a little WIP pastel drawing I started during my Figure Drawing class this evening. I don't often get the chance to sit and draw during class.
A partially completed pastel drawing of an older man wearing a blue shirt, looking right. The background is a light blue, gray, and darker gray. He doesn't have eyes or his glasses completely detailed yet and mostly has skin tone colors blocked in.

This is a OOAK articulated doll that I'm working on. He's made from a plastic armature, cosplay, paint, and synthetic hair. He's a witch's familiar, and a commission.
A Doll of rabbit like creature with no fur, light skin, and humanoid hands being held up in front of plants and a grow light. It has long black hair and a squinty black eye. There is blood on its clawed fingers. It has a body made out of dark fabric. Another view of the doll, this time it is facing the camera. The other side of the face is revealed to be a chunk of human skull with a spiral shell in the eye socket

The fun part of making art dolls is the stage where they are made enough to casually recline and judge you from on high
A doll of a rabbit like creature with humanoid hands and half a human skull face reclines above two clown dolls on a shelf. It has pale skin with some bloody patches. A dark fabric body and a wide tail. There's a shell in the eye socket of the skull.

Some progress on a creature. I still have more scrappy fabric to add, some hair, some bones... The usual
A rabbit like creature with a knowing smile, face half turned away from the camera. That side of the face has a human like skull. The side towards the camera has a squinty eye. It is dressed in black fabric and has bloody little humanoid hands

Post your current WIP, judging you for not working on it. I fucked up and added too much life to the eyes so he stares at me a little too well.
