I feel personally attacked by this pie chart. 💀

I told myself I’d be productive today, but I’ve been in a Pinterest rabbit hole for 3 hours straight. Help! ;-;

Aura 🐺

@aurasyr.bsky.social

A sketch I did of a hypothetical wolf form for the Norse Loki! I say Norse because it's not meant to reflect the Marvel character, rather the deity, Loki. It was fun to be a little looser w a design! #artistsonbluesky #animalart #loki

A digital sketch of a rusty coloured wolf. The pose is standing, looking left. He has a mane kind of reminiscent of a lion, but not too extreme. The tail is short with longer hair like the mane.

Art of Penelope, posing dramatically in the nude, as what appears to be blood coats her hand.

The picture is monochromatic except for her bright pupils and the blood like substance.

Around Turval's Crew, there is this traveling magnolian merchant who follows the group (or somehow always ends up in the place where they're adventuring), excitedly expecting someone to buy her wares from her magic bag.

#Illustration #Artwork #OC #OCArt #Art #DigitalArt #ArtistsOnBluesky

A digital art featuring a female Magnolian named Ozahne Pyrite (Age: 76, with a height of 3'0"), wearing a slightly faded yellow cloak, with a hood that obscures her glowing, gold eyes, the hood itself having its opening with an unique diamond-like shape. Under the cloak that she holds open with her telekinesis, her earth amulet is seen, along with a magic bag that she is opening, as well as a belt seen on her waist containing two small bags (one unseen). Like every Magnolian, she has a scarf, which has a light yellow color, with one side raised as if she was waving with an arm. Her unhooded version shows that she has a long, light blue hair, a pair of gem-like eyes of a much darker yellow color (while exposed to light), gray skin, sharp teeth with two fangs and pointy ears, her expression showing a grin of excitement.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 16, 2026. All rights reserved.

You’re looking at a small, neatly arranged art workspace captured from directly above. At the center lies a square sheet of white paper holding a detailed ink-and-watercolor illustration. The drawing resembles a stylized biological cell or tiny organism—something organic, almost microscopic.

The artwork is built in concentric layers:

Innermost circle: A tight, crosshatched texture in fine black ink, giving it a woven or net-like feel.

Middle ring: A soft wash of pale pink watercolor dotted with tiny black and pink specks, like freckles scattered across skin.

Outer ring: Thin black lines radiate outward like sun rays or delicate antennae, each ending in a small pink dot. The effect is both scientific and whimsical—precise but playful.

To the right of the drawing sits a small watercolor palette. It’s mostly filled with muted grays and blacks, with a paintbrush resting diagonally across it. The brush looks recently used; the palette wells show diluted pools of pigment.

Above the artwork, three drawing tools are lined up horizontally:
A black POSCA paint marker, thick-bodied and bold.
A Micron 005 pen, slim and precise, used for the fine crosshatching.
A pink POSCA marker, echoing the pink accents in the illustration.

The overall mood is calm and focused—an artist’s quiet moment mid-creation, with tools laid out intentionally and the artwork crisp and centered.

Three inches by three inches.

Drawing The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa – A Classical Sculpture Study - gee gardner

This drawing is based on Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a sculpture that sits in a very different emotional space to The Rape of Proserpina, my last share, but is just as intense....

A softer kind of heat.

Carine in lace, stockings, and a garter belt — cheeks warm, trying to be brave while very aware she’s being looked at. ❤️

Sometimes confidence looks like vulnerability.
