Not actually an auction, just seeking a home for this design!

Looking for $40 - $50 CAD 👉👈

For anything over $75 I can throw in an extra sketch or two!

Concept artwork of a vaguely feminine figure with bat-like wings that widen to thick clawed feet at the ends, which are supporting her weight and allowing her to hover off the ground. Her head is engulfed in black smoke and she holds a white mote of light in her outstretched hand. She is wearing a cropped shirt with one long sleeve that ends in a lace glove, as well as an asymmetrical fringed skirt that hangs below her knees.

the negative of you
Digital art by me. Over a dark forest hovers an inverse pyramid, equally absent of light. The palette is sepia toned and moody. In the foreground, a ghostly horned apparition appears as if faded from the photo.

come find me
at the end of time
A texture-heavy digital painting in portrait orientation. A dark hooded figure with glowing purple eyes stands on a piece of land that seems to be floating in an astral sea which is coiling in on itself. The colour palette is predominantly gold with hints of red and green.

▓▓▓▓▓ cut down the family tree,
where now will the songbirds sing?
Digital sketch by me. Cyan and hot pink overlapping, off-black background. A floating stag skull with its antlers bluntly trimmed below each tine. Beneath each antler, handwriting, reading: And nothing was the same. A pair of shears looms overtop the skull.

Pencil sketch, digitally altered to white on black, of a gradually wilting bouquet. It is centered, and text on either side reads: Fret not when I wilt. I was dead when you got me.

Cool blue toned painterly sketch of a figure with visible ribs curled into a seated fetal position with their face obscured. A tiny star hangs above their head. Flowy text overtop reads: crawl inside this body, find me where I am most ruined, love me there.

Digital sketch in red and black with white accents. A short-haired Omen falls to their knees, hands poised as if the objects within their grasp had disappeared a second ago; the left hand on the floor, the right hand raised as if to cast. Multiple pairs of disembodied hands grab at Omen's face, head, neck, shoulders, and arms. There's a huge scar on Omen's chest, healed but raised and prominent; cauterized stars like stitches join the two sides of Omen's upper body.

20/31 — guess who

#oc #sketchtober 🍂
Two portrait sketches, done digitally in white ink. One is in profile and the other is mostly head-on. The character has short slicked back hair in the profile sketch; in the other, the character's hair falls to their shoulders and they have an eye marking on their forehead.

Ah the light between the feathers, so beautiful!
Here's one I'm happy with, even if it's not lit the best :)
Photo of two Canada geese, one in focus and the other a couple meters back, out of focus. Both are standing on floating wood in a marsh environment, water reflects an overcast sky. The furthest goose has its head tucked between its wings and the nearest goose is stretching out its leg while observing the camera.

a jumble bird, or "vulture-kiwi-peafowl," if you prefer
Digital sketch of a wingless bird with a vulture-like head, squat kiwibird-like body, and a long peafowl-like tail. In its beak it holds a pomegranate which bleeds in a straight thin line. The bird is leaning down with its tail up, looking over its shoulder. The ends of its tail turn the same red as its eye. Sketchtober 18/31.

Two sketches, for days 16 and 17 of sketchtober. Day 16 is in colour, a vulture standing protectively by its chick, picking through tiny bones. Day 17 is greyscale and is a mostly finished portrait sketch of Omen with a dramatic shadow sweeping across the bottom of their face.

Also I nearly tripped over myself picking up this leaf. Mine. Into the collection you go.

Just when I think I cannot put another song off Breach into an Omen playlist, I find out about Drag Path.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME...
Lyrics from Drag Path, off the Breach Digital Remains by Twenty One Pilots. They read: Then the sun begins to rise. We made it through the darkest night. You found me.

Hello! #PortfolioDay

Some more recent art!
I'm open for freelance work and commissions.

A great beast lurks in the lightless depths of the sea. Here it is met by a comparatively miniscule submarine which catches part of creature's coiling form. Emerging from the darkness above that is the beast's head; its blank eyes glow teal. Its mouth has opened just enough to reveal rows of needle-like teeth. Digital illustration of a spectral dragon bust (neck and head) with a metallic helmet forming the top half of its head. Its eye glows red, and ribbons of the same vibrant colour spill from beneath the mask, twirling decoratively around the subject. The dragon has a wispy mane of ghostly tendrils flowing around it. In the background, the morning sunrise shines over low hanging clouds. A symmetrical mask design of overlapping chitinous plates and numerous smooth shell-like points. Digital coloured sketch, a portrait of an anthro crow, facing left. The crow has yellow-orange eyes, purple crest feathers, and a spattering of lilac gem-shaped freckles. The character's expression is chipper and their one visible eye glints with a twinkle.

The druids will braid flowers into Omen's hair, and he doesn't seem to mind.

Digital sketch, tinted in a deep, muted aqua. Bust drawing of a current day Omen, with shoulder-length hair and a distinct third eye mark on their forehead. Flowers are in their braided hair and they wear a calm expression with a bit of a smile.
