Trying to break a few years worth of art block by going back to my roots (which was bad sonic the hedgehog fanart)
A pencil drawing of Rouge the bat from the sonic the hedgehog series. She's just like snuggling up with some big beaded necklaces (because i tried drawing a jewel in her hand and it looked bad.) (Also I drew her hand really bad)

I was so excited to post this finished but I've somehow lost the original! I wanted to scan her and add some neon colours :< This is the last photo I took of Callistemon doing the nu metal fisheye lens pose
An illustration of Callistemon Splendenz, my alien character. She's doing a pose reminiscent of early 2000s nu metal artists, where they would put their open hands too close to the camera

I made a tote bag for Thunder Egg in Manchester! I really like how it came out!
A pale pink tote bag in front of the boutique called 'thunder egg', located in Manchester. It has an illustration of a girl in profile, surrounded by stars and clouds.

Callistemon Splendenz sketch! I like that she looks like she's about to drop a trance album
A lineart sketch of an alien lady, viewed through a fish eye camera lens. She's staring straight up at the viewer with a slightly disgruntled expression. Her hands are thrust forward towards the viewer, framing her face. She has long elf like ears and two big horns on the top of her head. She's wearing a cropped tank top with an oval cut out, showing some booba. Her big leopard gecko tail can be seen behind her. Her hair is like an extremely long snag hair cut.

I didn't take any good photos but I drew my friends dog Nova as a Christmas present!
A black and white pencil drawing of a spaniel on a pale blue watercolour background. The dog looks happy and is looking upwards with an open mouth. She has little stars in her fur that are glowing.

Quote repost your art that has stars ✨️
A bust portrait done in watercolour of a white woman with her eyes closed. She has a rainbow illuminating her face (like she's stood in front of a stained glass rainbow). Her hair is flowing upwards and wide from her head, and flowing beyond the page. Her hair is made up of different blues, and the watercolour used is granulation into different colours. There are yellow and orange stars scattered throughout her hair.

Hey new followers! Some of you might know me from the UK comic convention scene (though I haven't been part of it for a few years!)
Even though I drew these almost 10 years ago, I think they're probably my most recognisable pieces!
A blue water colour painting of a girl in a high neck winter sweater. She is smiling and has her eyes closed, turned away from the viewer. Her hair is swirling upwards and takes up most of the page. The silhouette of her hair is painted with a splattering of stars and rough water colour texture A pink, red and orange water colour painting of a girl. She's facing forward with her eyes open and looking at the viewer. Her hair is flowing upwards unnaturally. The silhouette of her hair is painted with white stars and watercolour texture

If you see this, post your orange art! 🧡 (this was an attack on art fight for @ soupradiance!)
A bust illustration for @soupradiance on artfight. It features their character Charlie Drealga. She's facing the viewer and she looks agitated. Her black curly hair is tied in two long, thick braids. She has two horn type protrusions made of hair coming horizontally from either side of her head. She has a very blunt fringe, and just above it is a huge yellow eye, just hanging out there in her hair.

I gave up on this drawing a while ago, and while there are parts I like, I'm not really into it anymore! It was done with water colours and polychromo pencils. It was absolutely just an excuse to hyperfocus on colouring for a few hours!
A painting and coloured pencil drawing of a woman with hair so long it reaches the edges of the page. She is lit from behind, and you can see the light shining through parts of her flowing dress. Her arms are in a position like she's applying some invisible roll-on deodorant. Her eyes are pure white with no pupils or irises, and she has a mildly amused expression. The overall vibe of the painting is that this lady is about to smite you with holy power (or bless you maybe?)

A painting from a while ago of my oc Bridgette and her glowing stretch marks! I wanted it to look like she was glowing from within 🧡
A red plus sized demon lady in a dark maroon one piece swimsuit. She has long black hair that falls down her back in a fire pattern and a very blunt straight fringe. She has two horns poking through her hair and pointing straight up. She's flexing in a way to show off her stretch marks on her thighs and upper arms. There is a glow coming through the stretch marks, as if she has molten magma flowing through her veins.

My scanner is awful so here's a photo of a pouty clown girl called Parmesan. Done with polychromo pencils!
A clown girl in a pose like she's mid-performance. She has shoulder length wispy hair with two heart shaped space buns on the top. Her face is painted white with red clown makeup on the nose amd eyes. She's wearing a striped long sleeve mesh top full of rips and snags. On top of that is a bodice with big fabric hearts stitched to it. She has a huge ruffled collar on. Her expression is pouty and mad, and she's looking to the side, like she's just spotted an ex in the audience.

Just a lil sketch of Harrowhawk from the locked tomb series!
A bust portrait of Harrowhawk from the locked tomb book series. She has dark skin, and her face is covered in black and white grease paint to look like a skull. Her hair is short and scraggly l. She looks pissed, like she's both angry and bored at the same time

Also some lil close ups (I really liked the lineart on its own, which is unusual because it's the thing I think I'm worst at!)
A close up of a previously posted demon lady. She had long turquoise hair tied in a pony tail, that twists in to fire as it reaches down her back. She's wearing a big cropped leather jacket with giant spiked shoulder pads. Under that she's wearing a playboy bunny style body suit in a cream colour. She's playfully twisting her hair and glancing at the viewer. This is the same as the previous image, but is just the lineart on a white background.

A dtiys for _jamzu_ on insta! I loved drawing this one, I can't resist demon women
A digital drawing of a red/orange demon woman. She has long turquoise hair tied in a high pony tail that twists into fire as it reaches down her back. She has two horns that poke upwards out of a full fringe. She's wearing a cropped black leather jacket with huge spiked shoulder pads. Under that, she's wearing a cream playboy bunny type body suit. She has a few large layered medallion belts on her waist. She's leaning casually on a trident made of blood with one arm, and is twisting some of her hair between her fingers with her other arm. She's wearing lil red heels and is surrounded by fire. There is a big '666' in the background of the image, just in case the veiwer needs more clues about her being a devil.

The face needs fixing, but I'm so desperate to spend 20 hours hyperfocusing on colouring that I might just start. I feel like it would solve all of my problems
A pencil drawing on warm grey coloured paper. The drawing is of a woman with long, flowing, floaty spaghetti like hair. She has thin fabric dress that is held together with art nouveau fixings. She has an arm raised in the air like she's about to swat a fly in the most dramatic way

Oh yeah I have a second goat drawing! It's done with a black polychromos pencil and clip studio paint for colour!
A mixed media portrait drawing of a stoic looking goat with a curly mane. Intertwined in the mane are some pale yellow stars, which are glowing softly. The goat is facing right and has a floating, glowing white crown, which is the main light source of the picture. The gosts ears are long and pointed, with tufts of hair at the end. There are two large, straight pointy horns protruding from the goats head. It looks kinda pissed off, like you've just said the worst pun in existence

My interpretation of the wildmother from dnd, and how she'd look to a firbolg worshipper!
A forward facing bust portrait of a woman with deep blue skin and large giraffe like ears. She has long, straight black hair that's parted in the center, and two horns poking straight upwards from the top of her head. From behind her ears, a number of transparent insect wings protrude and cast multicoloured light on the figure. On the figures chest is an opening, revealing a bright pink glowing flower inside the cavity. That same pink glow is coming through the figures pupiless eyes. There seems to be moss, vines and plant life growing up the figures body. They are lit from behind by a Glowing pale blue moon or halo, as they look towards the viewer with a calm expression
