The Mona Lupa, a drawing I made 1.5 years ago.
#colourpencil #colorpencil #parodyart #monalisa #monalisaparody #werewolf #colorpencilart
A colour pencil parody of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting. This Mona Lisa has pointed ears, sharp nails and lupine eyes and nose/mouth markings. In the green tinted night sky behind her the full moon can be seen. The picture is called the Mona Lupa, a wolf-pun on Mona Lisa.

A picture from a couple years back of the boss battle of a D&D one-shot a friend of mine ran :) the paladin near the bottom is mine, the other characters belong to my friends. #fantasybattle #bossbattle #d&d #dnd #dndart #fantasy #dragonborn #warforged #tiefling #wizard #kikimora #knight #fireball
A turquoise tinted picture of a battle scene featuring six characters, all centered around an elevator in the middle. The elevator sits on a pillared plain with warped outcroppings. A humanoid creature with bird talons, a beak and white glowing eyes clings to the side of the elevator. It is a kikimora, a being from eastern European myth. She grips the top of the elevator with her feet and hangs off its side, swiping a claw at the wood elf monk standing in front of her. The elf is holding a staff and tries to evade the attack, but receives a scratch. Behind him an angry looking dragonborn runs up holding a large sword, a bolt of lightning charging between its jaws. A small stormcloud hangs over its head and gathers lightning as well. On the right side of the elevator a warforged wizard sends a glowing ball of fire towards the kikimora. He holds a spellbook in one hand and has the other raised, surrounded by little flames. More to the front of the scene, a wizardly tiefling stares thoughtfully at the kikimora and holds a wand over a book labelled 'Big Book of Spells'. In the forefront, on the bottom of the scene, a knight tries to swat away some bugs trying to sting him. He holds a round button with the number 1 on it (pulled loose from the elevator's control pad) in his hand. A swarm of bugs is visible in the elevator, they were conjured up by the kikimora to prevent the heroes from entering it. (For context, the goal on the story was to prevent this kikimora from reaching the elevator to wreak havoc on a pocket dimension. The setting was a magical backrooms-esque area where the party was stranded, hence the twisted furniture/items making up the surroundings. The DM described it as a garbage area from a video game where unused assets were stored, only for a magically constructed pocket dimension instead of a virtual world)

Some pictures of my D&D character Ofnir Khthon. He's a rather anxious & paranoid paladin who took the Oath of the Watchers. #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #dndcharacter #paladin #fantasy #ocart #fantasycharacter #snakefolk #knight
A digitally coloured scene featuring a fantasy knight sitting on a snowy rooftop, the towers of a city in the background. A half body picture of a knight holding a mace. The image is split down the middle, the left half showing what the character looks like underneath the armour. He has a frightened expression on his face and looks worried. The right half shows the character in his armour, his face/expression hidden by a helmet. Two full body images of a fantasy knight wearing chainmail, a helmet and a purple cape decorated with stars/constellations. He has tan skin, pointy ears and blond hair that comes out from under the back of the helmet in a pony tail. The first picture shows him from the front, holding a mace and with an eager grin on his face. The second picture is a side view, the cape blowing behind him and his expression hidden beneath his visor.

A little card I drew on the train for an exchange :3
#colourpencil #wadingbirds #birds #roughsea #ocean #sea #coast #sunshine #coast #drawing
A square drawing in colour pencil of three wading birds on the shore of the sea. The waters are calm and the sun is shining bright. Yellow and light blue are the dominant colours. This is the front of a small greeting card. A square colour pencil drawing of a stormy sea, a large wave smashing into a cliff. The waters are choppy and rough. In the dark, clouded sky two seabirds fly. This is the back of a small greeting card.

Snuggle-birds
A pair of cockatiel birds sitting on a branch. They have yellow crests, orange spots on their cheecks and grey bodies. The left cockatiel has its crest erect and is facing the viewer, the bird on the right has its crest lowered and is snuggling its companion. The background goes from light blue in the top of the image to yellow on the bottom. The pencil strokes follow the directions of the birds' crests.

I tried some body painting today and gave myself a scaly hand. #photo #scales #bodypaint #bodypainting #scaly
A photo taken in the mirror. The hand on the right holds the phone taking the picture. The hand on the left is pointing upwards and painted to look like it's covered in grey scales. The nails are black and slightly pointy. A photo taken in the mirror. One hand holds the phone taking the picture, the other is painted to look like it's covered in grey scales.
