Occasionally there are nice sunny days in Seattle. So here is a pleasant day for a citizen that isn't being hunted or anything else tense. No glowing eyes this time, I didn't think it fit. Though I tried to add them multiple times and just liked her eyes as is.

I just noticed I missed background painting between her arm and body in the center of the screen... Damn.

I don't really care but this was a fun one to work on.

Maybe I'll get my fill of this style of character eventually. But it's not yet. This was a blast to paint! She looks like a badass not to be messed with.

Shadowrun

It was a simple heist. We slip away during the gala, grab the dragon-scale jewelry, done.

Vex had one job to do.

Vex failed.

The plan fell apart. Bullets everywhere. I barely escaped. Everyone else fell.

But Vex. Vex escaped too.

I know because I’m looking at Vex.

A few folks mentioned my last piece looked more cyberpunk and less magical. I decided to lean into it as I loved Shadowrun and Johnny Mnemonic in my youth. What are your thoughts on the character?

Shadowrun

Alright, I'm having fun with this! The eyes do it for me for whatever reason. Is the robotic arm too much?

Another silly one for you guys. Enjoy!

Merassyilri Pharissyilia is the current queen of the Elven Conclave belongs to the Ijyiakaryai elven race of Realspace Saga.

In the enormous and intricate world of the Realspace Saga, she finds herself in the high positions of the mantle of Queenship since the cruelly devastating death of her beloved King, Merassyilri Lythairass, had fallen at the hands of the Isindor race, and their faithful worshipers, the Caliphathic Eden. These are enemies who hate the Ijyiakaryai elven race with a fierce hatred to the point that they present a serious and growing threat not only to the dynasty of Merassyilri but to any who reside within the elven sphere of influence in their local galaxy.

As the conflict grinds on and tempers flare the Alien Union, a power in its own right, alight themselves with Isindor to add yet more peril to the Ijyiakaryai community. These malevolent alliances loom into the Ijyiakaryai elves’s future, which propels towards an inevitability of a rendezvous of some kind with the neighboring Tiariean race, who are also struggling against the manipulative machinations of the Isindor.

I figured out where to put the alt text.

Here's a quick piece I did of my favorite ninja turtle. I've been playing more with Krita smoothing being turned off and letting my hand make mistakes. I hope someone enjoys it!

Posting this for you all to speculate as to why this elderly woman looks so annoyed. Imaginary points to the best story.

Feeling confident enough to try a more detailed tattoo and I think it came out great. Then I decided to push it with a magical twist. Does the effect fit the rest of the image or did I go too far?

Trying a more restricted pallet without green or umbre.

Played around with an organic shape and just went with the flow. Everything in my doodles are completely random and come straight from my subconscious mind.

Cartoon Mega Man robot boy with a distraught look on his face and hands on his hips with text that reads "you got big sad".

The art and this description isn't AI generated. I typed out what I thought was a description for alt text for those that might need it for like a screen reader.

The art was drawn by me in Krita using a Huion tablet on PopOS.

various staedtler fineliners plus pigment pen

i had initially wanted to get this done for my birthday but it's rather late now because i got carried away :)

Have you seen Legend, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, or similar styled movies? These were the hits from my childhood and I think they still hold up today. This is my attempt to make my own slice of a world in that style. The reference for the waterfall called for it!

Hadn't drawn anything in like 18 years, and my nephew asked me to draw something for him. Ended up being sort of a christmas gift.
