First watercolor pass on these mermaids! I love the challenge of getting the main color and value decisions made within the first hour of work. Next I'll put masking fluid on the netting so I can get nice dark washes on the lower portion of the mermaids while maintaining the lighter lines.

Wooo!!!

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

Yeah, I'd be interested :)

What is this list, I must have missed?

Who are these people?

It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, everyone. There’s no routine screening for ovarian cancer, and it isn’t picked up by other gynaecological screening (such as smear tests). But if you do think it might be a possibility, you can ask your GP for a blood test and/or a scan.

"I use myself the way I would use a mannequin. They’re not autobiographical. They’re not fantasies of mine. I like to work completely alone, so instead of using models I use myself."

A Siren wearing clothes with a messy updo bun of dark hair is gracefully posed in the mirror with her head tilted away and eyes closed. Her hand is cupping the head of an invisible figure. Two streams of dark liquid flow from dots on her neck. The mirror she poses in is antique brass and silver and very ornate

Work in progress pen drawing of a long limbed creature kneeling on a stone and bone looking arch. The beings head has three white circles for a face and the head flares into wing like structures resembling more fungal growths than butterfly wings

Taking it smaller and slower after the hours logged yesterday. Went with smaller paper and calling it early to relax a bit
