So, I had an idea to make a version of my room originally as an outro image, but now I think I'll use it as an offline screen. Put in a few references that some of you may be able to figure out. Really happy with how this turned out, even with some growing pains of Affinity v3.

An interpretation of my room. A stuffed dog is on the bed on the left, a shelf with a triforce light, a mario mushroom, a banana, a creeper, an otter, a loporrit, a stuffed bear and a stuffed wolf. On the right there is a chair with myself (black hair, fair skin, blue and gold shirt, dark blue and white jacket) sleeping. A picture of a habitable planet is behind and partially obscured by my chair. There is a desk at the bottom with a mouse and keyboard on it. The light of my monitor is visible where I am sleeping and reflecting on the table.

A friend gave me an idea to do a halloween piece, so I did one of my ffxiv retainer Karelin (since her outfit is halloween-like), who is also my WoL's first friend. Really happy with how this turned out! Also wrote a fic to accompany this: archiveofourown.org/works/72767236

#art #digitalart #ffxiv
FFXIV miqo'te with red, shoulder-length hair and purple eyes. She is wearing a black (battlemage's) robe with black and purple gloves (Tigerskin arms of casting). Her skirt is purple (kudzu longkilt of casting), with the robe of black and brown at the sides. She has a brown belt going from her chest to her hip, with an additional smaller belt with glowing flasks. On her hand, there is a gold and purple ring. She is wearing a black and brown witch hat (battlemage's hat). There is gold parts on her in different places as well.

Made this yesterday while trying to decompress. I like how the aurora came out, especially in the lake. Based off "Northern Lights" by Bob Ross

#art #digitalart #bobross #supportartists
Aurora over a mountain with trees in front of the mountains. A lake is below the trees with bushes floating in it. There is a cabin on the right side of the shore with trees behind it. Quite a bit of red, blue, and green colors

Thanks for the tag @okwendy.bsky.social and thanks for the artshare! I'm Shastow, a digital artist who likes to draw space, Bob Ross style landscapes, and characters!
A trippy photo of a landscape on an alien moon with a blue gas giant with rings in the sky. Red trees, a barely visible part of a mountain with red vegetation, and a lake of green liquid with the purple/pink/blue sky above and reflected in the water. There are some meteors in the lake with splashes above them. Cabin in a snowy spruce forest clearing. Based off Bob Ross "snowy morn" painting. My warrior of light and Lyse as a couple from FFXIV. Lyse has a red dress with some parts of skin exposed. My warrior of light is a black-haired light-skinned hyur with the a grey robe, black pants, a white undershirt with a black tie, and a horn on his head. He also has a white and black book as a weapon. A landscape painting of the planet Kepler 186f with a red sky (with hints of purple and orange), red plants, orange mountains, and a lake with 2 rocks splashing into it.

Sometimes, the best moments are not in the sun, but in the calm of the storm. Yesterday, I made this drawing, messing with a bunch of the essentials brushes I hadn't used before. Really proud of this one.

Lightning strikes in a river as it rains. Bushes, trees, and a city are visible in the background

The great white shark is feared by things like the Jaws franchise. Despite the fear around them, there are only 351 worldwide known attacks of a great white biting a human, only 59 of which were fatal. They are considered threatened conservation-wise.

#art #environment #digitalart #supportartists
A drawing of a great white shark in a blue ocean with green leaves and algae visible. There is a blue light ring behind the head of the shark and a white bow light behind the middle of the shark. There is a rock formation in front of the shark.

@gretheb.dk made a very beautiful photo of my Warrior of Light and his wife Lyse posing for a photo together! It looks SO GOOD. I love it so much! Thank you again Grethe!
My Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy 14 (midlander hyur with fair skin and dark hair wearing a caller's horn, augmented philosopher's coat, Smilodonskin Armguards) hugging Lyse (blonde highlander hyur with blonde hair and fair skin, in a red dress) and posing for a photo.

"Kepler 186f surface"
Following up on Kepler 186f, this is my interpretation of what the surface would look like. Love to imagine the redness of it all with a red dwarf.

I'm going to be doing more drawings to bring awareness about the environment, starting with this one. The Carolina parakeet went extinct over 100 years ago, partly because of man made causes like deforestation and hunting.

(Based off a wikimedia image)

A colorful carolina parakeet with a yellow and red head, and a green and brown body. It is perching on top of a brown branch with sticks attached to it holding green and yellow leaves.

Hey everyone, I am Shastow, a disabled digital artist. I started mainly with character art in 2017, but I've always had an interest in Bob Ross and always wanted to do his style digitally. In 2024, I succeeded in finding brushes that could, and started mainly doing landscapes and space from then on!
Blue night seascape depicting waves crashing onto some rocks Princess Zelda of the Twilight era. Long brown hair, blue eyes, a purple dress, and armor on the shoulders. An orange, glowing background with black squares of Twilight. A colorful sky with a moon reflecting over a lake with a rock and lights in the background. A grassy dark beach is in the foreground. Colorful space scene with a big habitable planet being approached to the right. Moon and distant planet visible.

Hi! thanks for the tag @okwendy.bsky.social and congrats to you on getting 1K followers!

I'm Shastow, a disabled digital artist who's been drawing since 2017! I used to draw mostly characters, but in the last year, I've shifted to mostly landscapes of Bob Ross inspired art or space.
A habitable planet (kepler 186f) with red ground and blue oceans, with city lights visible on the night side. The other planets of the system are also visible as bright lights, along with a red dwarf. Colorful nebulas surround the image, with a comet in the middle. A trippy photo of a landscape on an alien moon with a blue gas giant with rings in the sky. Red trees, a barely visible part of a mountain with red vegetation, and a lake of green liquid with the purple/pink/blue sky above and reflected in the water. There are some meteors in the lake with splashes above them. My warrior of light and Lyse as a couple from FFXIV. Lyse has a red dress with some parts of skin exposed. My warrior of light is a black-haired light-skinned hyur with the a grey robe, black pants, a white undershirt with a black tie, and a horn on his head. He also has a white and black book as a weapon. Digital attempt at recreating Bob Ross Ocean Sunset (s10 e10). An ocean wave approaches a small beach while the sunset looms overhead.

"Kepler 186f"
I've always been fascinated by exoplanets and always wanted to draw them. So I drew it. Planet was not made by me, but came in the brush bundle. Planning to draw my interpretation of the surface next.

Still sick, but decided to try something different and decided to make an alien moon. Title is "Omega's Moon".

I saw an art timelapse on YouTube and it gave me an idea to combine my Bob Ross style with my space style. This is the result. Timelapse in replies.

A mountain over dark evergreen trees over a lake. Overhead, the mostly purple sky has the milky way visible.

This one didn't turn out the best due to my brush sets I use not having the best brushes for water in the Bob Ross style. Still happy with how it turned out though. Based off "Black Seascape" (s12 e5 of The Joy of Painting)
