Another fun study with watercolors and color pencils! I was really happy with the overall temperature of this portrait I felt it was really faithful to the original image ❤️

A fun little dame Aylin for the TL! I adore Baldurs gate and I’m considering starting another run 😩 Anyone else considering another cheeky stroll through the forgotten realms 👀

Do you ever get frustrated with your art?

Heres my take: That's not only normal, it’s an essential part of the creative process. I believe that you can develop a positive relationship with it, and use it as a guide to solve problems in your art - leading to better art and a more enjoyable process!

Stylized illustration of a woman standing on a path holding a bucket. There's a big cloud in the background and the full moon peeking up behind it. Blue butterflies are flying out of the bucket and the woman looks up at them as they fly off.

Stylized illustration of a statue of Sleeping Beauty. It is made of white marble and surrounded by yellow roses and tall trees. There's swords sticking out of the ground in front of the statue and a big half moon hangs in the sky behind it.

Black and white digital pencil portrait of Astarion, a white haired vampire. clouds and stars in the background and one bright star directly above Astarion's head.

Kate Draws 🌈✨️

@tacticiankate.bsky.social

WHATS POPPIN #PortfolioDay I'm Kate, a queer freelance artist who loves drawing OCs, ttrpg and fantasy characters, and especially pretty ladies!!!

I've been dealing with some medical issues lately that eat a lot of my time, but I'm hoping to have some new work to show in the near future!! :'D

A color drawing of my new oc Fawn, a beastkin hare woman. She has warm brown skin speckled with pinkish spots similar to a fawn, big brown eyes, tall bunny ears, rabbit peets, and long VERY fluffy swirly hair that goes from dark brown at the top to pink at the bottom. She is wearing a frilly white blouse unbuttoned so you can see her bazongas, black high-waisted hot pants with dark pink heart buttons, and a garter with tiny healing potions.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with deep blue skin, closed eyes, tall curved horns with a glowing crescent moon between them, and long wavy hair going from indigo at the top to pale gold at the ends. She is dressed in an indigo gown with lots of gold trim and accessories and sheer blue accent cloth. She is holding a large golden greatsword with blue roses and purple thorns around the guard. The background is an art nouveau-style circular graphic of gold celestial motifs on a black to maroon gradient.

A color illustration of a dragonkin/tiefling woman with teal skin, darker turquoise hair in a braid, closed eyes, and a long tail. She is dressed in layers of red, gold, green, and turquoise, and she is holding a wooden staff with a golden lantern hanging from the top. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of stylized grass, lotuses, and clouds on a sunset gradient.

A color illustration of a gorgon woman with light and darker green skin/scales, long dark green cobra hair separated by narrow horns, and a long tapered tail. She is dressed in a dark green bustier with gold trim and lots of accessories, and she is holding two crossed swords behind her head. The background is an art nouveau-style panel of thorns and ivy on a black to yellow gradient.
