After drawing Eli-Spectre, felt like drawing her with Manalie as the two are related.

A former princess, with a former nameless assassin and maid that once served the queen of the land of flowers before it fell in darkness under the rule of Monelia.

500 years later, they probably still take time to be together in this place, and remember that mother, that queen they both knew.

Even if I can also imagine that Manalie was an unwanted child, an unwanted birth for a royal family, and that this queen never was her real mother.

Despite that, still someone that Manalie would visit alongside Eli-Spectre.

Had this pixie sketch I wasn't sure what to do with but after my last Xmas opossum artwork turned out decent, I decided another opossum would work perfectly.

Plus the last attempt at making an opossum sort of looked like a badger. So I wanted to try again. I think I got closer this time.

I made this today.

I'm not the artist, but this has been in my collection for decades and I noticed there aren't any photos of it on the web - until now!

Autumn trees are my favorite. So back at taking pictures and trying to paint em. I remember spending hours on trees to get them this far. Progress! Plus this time I noticed highlights I never noticed before so I tried to capture that for the first time.

How'd I do?

Decided not to write the name in the bottom right corner for this one and put the name in the title instead.

Drawn in the forest of blood / screams in the region of Sept-Hurlements of my imagination.

I also thought of drawing Eli-Spectre with a background of the eight cities in the kingdom of Monelia, decided not to.

It's not like I'm doing much else right now, so here's another thing to look at for some of y'alls cyber snow day.

Using the new blender 5.3. If I used the new light nodes correctly, I recreated blinn-phong shader.

One from a few weeks ago I should probably go back and take a better picture of.

Made this guy for my friendsgiving invitations. We're having tacos. It's also gonna be on my birthday 😊

I made this yesterday.

A drawing that I struggled to finish or felt like giving up at it, until I managed to land an idea on it.

After 70 discarded layers, I ended up with the idea of drawing Aria in her past and just scrapping the old idea I had completely.

I painted this one for a Pride auction last year. I had a long description in the auction catalog but here, I'll let everyone decide for themselves what "intersections" means to them.

Hi everyone.

Thought it'd be cool to use some of the black and white stuff I usually ignore in the magazine stash (noted one of the other ones I posted here is also mostly b&w)

Using a simple generic pen brush I followed a few video tutorials on how to make mechs. I had fun.
