If you don't follow me on Insta, I went on a roadtrip last month to see family, friends and the Icefields Parkway! But it was cut short by a collision with a moose on an Albertan highway. I'm OK. But still stressed from that and a lot of other stuff. Which is the reason for my lack of art 💔

Quick colours done in digital over a photo of a sketch done in pen of a dragon head. The dragon is coloured blue with maroon along its spine and the top of its head. It has several large horns coming from its cheeks, and some smaller ones on its head. It has a significant underbite. The original drawing.

Coloured in CSP over this sketch from September. #dragon #art #mixedmedia #ironkelpieart

Photo of a tablet. The tablet is open to an art program, on which is a very loose basic sketch of an alien-inspired dragon.

Drawing in pen, coloured in a digital program. A unique monster with leather-less small dragon wings, a short muscular tail, legs of a horse, and the small feet of a dog. It has two rows of very long spikes facing forward on its neck, with smaller spikes facing to the rear on its back. It had a pair of long spikes facing forward from the sides of its neck. It has a long face with an exposed mandible, teeth and gums. The colour is a blue-green, with pale brown scales. Closeup of the monster showing details of its chest, neck and head. The original art piece, just the drawing in pen. No colour.

Hell-hound (Predators 2010 movie) in the form of some dragon-horse-monster cause. The Predator franchise has a vice grip on me rn 🫠

Listening to the viral 'jet blue holiday' meme reminds me seeing contest ads on TV to win a trip to like, Disneyland back when I was a kid. I didn't like seeing those commercials cause they limit it to a family of 4...We were a family of 5. Ngl, still ticks me off a bit 🤣

Photo of a drawing done in pen of a unique horse-like alien inspired by the hell-hounds from Predators (2010). The monster has long thin legs, a body shape similar to a horse. It has a short tail like a dinosaur. It has long spikes along its spine and sides of its neck. It has extremely bony, tiny wings. Its face is full of teeth and no lips.

Colour tomorrow, if I've got time. Glad it's a holiday, but I'm helping my sis move. #ironkelpieart #predator #monster #pendrawing #art #alien #traditionalart

Photo of a page of art. The art is of five headshots of unique-looking Yautja, original characters. They are sketched in dark blue pen. Scars are marked in with red pen.

Did a big prompt ask on insta recently, for animals to draw. When I'm done with them all I'll post proper scans.

Photo of a few quick sketches done in pen. One in the corner is a small landscape of a hilly mesa. Two of the other drawings are headshots of a closed personal species called Naycht. Long head with spaced out flat teeth, two rows of multiple eyes, and a horn above its nose. No hair. Two of the other drawings of a Predator/Yautja OC. He has a longer, narrower skull.

Some Naycht and Yautja. Naycht are a closed species I made, and part of one of my projects. #art #predator #yautja #alien #originalcharacter #ironkelpieart

Digitally coloured illustration of Grits and Turbulence. Grits is tan-brown in colour, and his mask is grey. The crests on his neck are grey-blue. Turbulence is a vivid purple, her beak fading to blue on the ends. Her horns are also vivid purple. She has a patch of yellow by her eyes that goes down to her top exposed teeth. The underside of her neck is also yellow. Closeup of Grits. Closeup of Turbulence. Drawing in black pen of two unique creatures, headshots. The one in the back has a long mask that covers the top half of his head, and covers his eyes. He has his mouth open, revealing a long forked tongue and large teeth. He has the ears of a horse, and two pairs of fins jutting from his cheeks. He has no scales. Three large metal bolts are embedded in his neck, each at the base of a large crest. The second creature has three sets of eyes, and a massive beak of sorts. She has a few pairs of exposed teeth with no lips covering them. Several blunt horns jut from her cheeks in varying sizes. She has a few scales, and large plates down the back of her neck.

My OCs Grits (back) and Turbulence (front). Turbulence is a new OC for me, but her design has been around for a few years. Drawn on paper, coloured in CSP.

Drawing done in pen of two unique monsters, heads only. One has mouth open, with a split tongue like a snake. The top of its head is covered by a long mask, and covers its eyes. It has a pair of horse - like ears, and two pairs of fins on its cheeks. The other monster has a thick design, with tooth-like horns jutting from its cheeks. It has a massive beak-crest, and a few very weird long, but flat, teeth.

More progress #art #drawing #monster #creature #ironkelpieart #pendrawing

Photo of a small unfinished drawing, done in pen of two unique fantasy monsters. Just their heads. One is roaring, with a long face, a split tongue, and a long mask covering the top of its skull. The other has a tall ridged snout, pocketed by gaps; it has a number of spikes that are reminiscent of teeth.

WIP of "Grits" (top), and an unnamed beastie I first drew in 2018. #unfinished #monster #art #ironkelpieart #traditionalart #pendrawing #originalcharacter #creature

Digital drawing of a large canyon stretching off into the distance. There is a river that snakes through the canyon. The canyon is surrounded by steep cliffs and mesas. It is drawn loosely, and shaded in various shades of grey-red.

Relaxing on vacation right now, perfect time to get some #projectrue worldbuilding done.

Sketch of two dragons. One is pale tan, with a brown crest of fur and four brown horns. He as a small goatee of brown hair. His eyes are red. He's pushing up against the neck of another dragon with his front paws in a frustrated gesture, while looking at the other dragon with an exhasperated but loving look. The other dragon is red with a yellow belly. He has four long horns, all red. He has blue gums in his mouth. He is wearing a very happy expression, with closed eyes, and is nuzzling the other dragon under the chin with his head.

Squeezing this quick #Pride sketch in, 30 mins before June is over. Featuring my two gay shapeshifting OC's, Talengazen and Tomo. 💙
