Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

This seemed fun! Now, to figure out what this grouping of characters reveals about me… 🤔

A little four leaf clover fairy to celebrate the day! 🍀✨🧚

Do y’all have any fun St. Patrick’s day traditions? My mom’s from Ireland, so we always try to make Irish soda bread together each year 😋 🙏

[ #art #digitalart #oc ]
A little fairy with red hair and clover shaped wings, wearing white flowers for a dress and green leaf shoes and a four leaf clover hat, is looking upwards while holding a needle sword with a scabbard made of red thread and golden bead ornaments. They rest on a leaf surrounded by a forest of clovers, wisps of magic flowing around them, and yellow light shining through the leaves. The digital illustration was created to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a couple years ago, and became a patreon print.

Post and old illustration you still like!

I think this is from around 2019/2020? Fanart of a magical girl/phantom thief anime I liked as a kid called Saint Tail-I always loved the main characters magical girl outfit, and remember having a lot of fun drawing this! 🪄 🎩 💫 ✨

She is smiling and winking at the viewer, leaping into the night sky, her pink skirt and lapels flowing in the wind. She is holding her staff in one hand, swinging it around her body, and her other hand holds her top hat, while her long orange hair flys around her. The background shows the night sky, blurred buildings near the bottom of the frame, stars,steamers, and flower petals burst around her, and the “Saint Tail” title/logo is seen behind her legs.

A lily pad rests atop her head and shades her face from the sun, her other hand coming up to adjust it as she looks at a little lady bug resting on a plant in front of her. Her dark hair swirls along the surface of the water with other lily pads and flowers.

[ #art #digitalart #oc ]
A digital illustration of a woman with long blonde hair in pigtails, facing the camera, as she sips on a milkshake. The composition of the piece shows the character from the bust up to just below the eyes, with the rest of the face not shown.

The milkshake is decorated with whipped cream, red iced cookies-a large heart shaped one and several red iced cookie sticks-multiple cherries, and pink sprinkles. The straw she is using to sip the milkshake is in a heart shape. The piece was originally created as a Valentine’s Day themed merch reward for the creators Patreon a few years back.

An illustration from a few years back that I made for a Patreon print reward to celebrate the winter season! ⛄️ ❄️ ✨
2 children laying down in the snow in various winter gear, seen from above, with arms thrown out beside them, big smiles on their faces, heads tilted towards each other. The orientation/composition of the image makes one boy seem “upside down” while the other is “right side up.” The illustration uses a limited color palette of purple, white, and yellow.

Another old #mermay illustration!

I remember this piece being very fun+self indulgent to work on-I love mermaids and I love a space motif, so I really went all in on this one haha!

[ #art #digitalart #mermaid #oc #characterdesign ]
A person floating in space, seen from the side, wearing a light blue space with yellow accents and a translucent helmet that shows the astronauts shocked face. They are being circled by a space mermaid; their skin resembles the nebula surrounding them, while their fins and hair are a vibrant glowing yellow that flows around themselves and the astronaut. The mermaids eyes and mouth glow with a white light as they hold their hands to their face and look at the astronaut with an excited grin.

Mermaids are always so fun to draw~

[ #art #digitalart #oc #mermaid ]

The top of the water is covered in lily pads, one of which is atop the mermaids head, lifted by her hand and partially shading her face from the sun. She looks intently at a ladybug balancing on the long leaf of a plant right above her.

Before January ends I thought I’d post the New Years illustrations I’ve made over the past few years-these are from 2021-2023!

I tried to base the character off a firework; her fiery hair and the colorful burst from her dress were especially fun to render~
