Speed is an enormously underrated part of improvement, and I bet it's because it's harder to show in side by side pictures. It's one reason I like the various artober challenges, it's a fun excuse to push and see what I can actually get done in a day or sitting.

Coloured illustration of a tiefling with dark green skin and horns sitting on a thick tree branch above a lake. They have long flowing black hair with blue accents, and they're wearing a decorated top alongside wide pants and a slit skirt, all in lavender tones. The same lavender colour can be found in the flowers on their hairpiece and earrings, as well as in various flowers in the foreground. A full moon is illuminating the piece from above and reflecting in the ocean below.

Keir's job is basically like a safety inspector except for magically created or augmented creatures. Fire extinguishers don't try and eat fire inspectors, he's not always so lucky. Xochi, the mini Quetzacoatl is a coworker.

A new double-sided chip-carved-star ornament, or 'rosette.' This one is based on eight equal divisions of a circle. The spiral elements of the second side were based on a design from mychipcarving.com. I previously used this on the cross I carved also. #ChipCarving #WoodCarving

My reward to myself for drawing 30 pictures and taking 1 photograph is I got to go back to some of the pictures I really liked doing this month and spend a little bit more time on them.

This a very minor side point but I'm glad you didn't modernize the old website, it's always a delight stumbling across vintage internet

The side of a house at night. The roof and porch column are decorated with red, white, and green holiday lights. The lights are connected to a small grayish box on the side of the house. The box has two icons, one of a Halloween pumpkin and one of a Christmas tree. It also has a large switch next to the icons. The switch, which one can presume was set to the Halloween setting yesterday, is now in the Christmas tree position. The sky is blue and filled with stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A sculpture of two hairless dogs intertwined. Their back legs and body are instead long tails that weave around one another. They are painted in pinks, greys, and whites, and their bodies blend with botanical motifs that coil around them.

OC-tober day 25, style swap with a friend's OC. In this case, @shivikai.bsky.social 's lovely (and surprisingly tall!!) Firebrand.

This was done relatively quickly (busy this evening) and I'm really glad a previous artober prompt got me to properly draw the koi tattoo so I could copy it over.

A portrait of a red dragon

From #witchtober2025 prompt: dragon

Done mostly in Procreate and a little bit of finalizing in CSP. Not thrilled with the horns I think I screwed them up somehow and can't make them look right even after some messing around, but I like the vintage look of the colouring

because once they are gone they are in EVERY moment. there is no reason that THE END, this tiny sliver of existence that is barely visible within the whole pie, should be worth more than all the love and joy on the way. when we are gone we are every moment, and when we are here we are every moment

I had a heck of a time deciding what colour to make the fireflies for the Inktober firefly prompt, but wound up with red because that is the most ominous. They actually started out yellow but I wasn't feeling it.

Have you watched this music video? It's a loving (and gory) tribute to 80s and 90s vampire media. Also saxophone.

This is the only time I miss photoshop, star fields were a lot easier to do than they are in CSP because of a couple of filter options. But I'll manage.
