Thank you for hosting this themed ArtShare!

Hi there! I go by reptilianbird and I'm a traditional artist primarily working with inks and inkwashes. I enjoy painting animals and their skeletons in combination with dark themes 💀
Traditional ink drawing of a wolf with a skull head looking down on themselves leading a young wolf out of the darkness. Traditional ink drawing of a forest clearing with a werewolf coming towards the viewer, holding out its right paw either as an invitation or a threat. The full moon has risen behind it. Traditional ink illustration of a Confuciusornis (an extinct bird) sitting on a branch of a hollowed out tree. On the edge of the tree a Confuciusornis skeleton hangs over the edge; the live bird looks at it. Traditional ink drawing of a cloaked bear skeleton removing its skeleton head. Black mist rises from the space between head and body. The shadows of the cloak start to disappear, merging with the starry sky behind the bear.

If you see this, post a dragon or few from your portfolio. 🐉

#traditionalart #dragon
A traditional ink drawing of an eastern dragon. Its limbs are completely feathered and the forelimbs bear wings as well as claws. It curls around itself - almost in the shape of an 8 - starting in the middle, curling upwards and then curling down left to right. The tail is curled around a glowing apple and vanishes inside the mouth of the dragon. The hind claws are almost grasping the apple and the dragon is grimly looking at it.

If you see this post a monster!

A rare painting with color. I really want to revisit this painting style actually.
Digital painting of a very thin bony black horse with a skull head, foggy mane and antlers emerging from a lake. There is brown grass growing around it and in the far background mountains and clouds can be seen. The color palette is reduced and mostly brown-ish.

Post your most popular art from twitter!

I was surprised to see that it's my first inktober drawing from last year c:

Your art really deserves so much more attention. Hope you reach your goal soon!

I go by reptilianbird online and I'm a traditional artist. I mainly work with inks and inkwashes to create monochrome illustrations of animals and skeletons 💀
Traditional ink drawing of a wolf with a skull head looking down on themselves leading a young wolf out of the darkness. Traditional ink illustration of a velociraptor skeleton connected to a chicken skeleton by their vertebral columns. The chicken is in a calm position; the velociraptor looks like it is about to attack. Traditional ink drawing of a forest clearing with a werewolf coming towards the viewer, holding out its right paw either as an invitation or a threat. The full moon has risen behind it. Traditional ink drawing of a swimming Parasuchus (not a crocodile but looks very similar to one). The body slowly fades away from the tail towards the front revealing the skeleton underneath.

Hi there! 💀🦴
I'm a traditional artist from Germany. I mainly work with ink washes creating monochrome illustrations of animals and their skeletons in dark settings.
Traditional ink illustration of a velociraptor skeleton connected to a chicken skeleton by their vertebral columns. The chicken is in a calm position; the velociraptor looks like it is about to attack. Traditional ink drawing of a wolf with a skull head looking down on themselves leading a young wolf out of the darkness. Traditional ink illustration of a tree with many ferns and mushrooms growing on it. The viewer looks at the tree against the light so that the tree is in the shadow and the area next to it glows brightly. In the shadowed area a Heterodontosaurus skeleton lies between the ferns. In the lighted area a live Heterodontosaurus is eating some of the ferns.

If you see this, post a dino!

Some of my favorite dino birds from this and last year c:
Traditional ink drawing of a crow with a cross marking on its back flying. It fills the complete page and only its back is seen. It flies through a ray of light that changes its appearance first to a microraptor and then bones of a microraptor that are falling apart. Traditional ink drawing of a black Archaeopteryx with inverted colors (so appearing white with black highlights) in front of a solar eclipse. Next to it is the same illustration but with inverted colors.
