Guys have I ever told you how much I like traditional art? because I really like traditional art, I've been playing around with acrylic markers again and the more I use them the more I love them, they may be one of my favorite non-brush materials

A color illustration of buntglas's oc Misam, a cosmic bunny lady. She has deep brown skin with light freckles and pale violet palms, shining eyes, a golden eye tattoo on her forehead, bunny ears, and long violet hair in a braid that trails into a star. She is dressed in a deep purple top and skirt with elegant gold trim, a sheer sari with intricate embroidery edges, and lots of gold and white accessories evoking stars and moons. The background is a gold and purple art nouveau-like graphic, prominently featuring a shining eye and celestial motifs.

Been chipping away at this for a while, my half of an art trade with the very esteemed @buntglas.bsky.social featuring their gorgeous oc Misam πŸŒ™πŸŒŸπŸŒŒ

Lately it's a bit hard to unwind as all I think of is the sort of things I should be doing or working on, to the point it's Sunday and I'm looking at the horizon thinking, what do I want to do with my free time. Neurodivergency doesn't help with the initiation paralysis and all of that mhm

as I see different sites with different goals, since for example in TH I'm mostly in for adopts/character design! Or my official portfolio leans more to the kidlit side, as it's my CV for companies too. I hope this makes sense :)

I was thinking earlier: I'm keeping this account as a mix of the two main sides I want to create art for, which is kid/teen literature, and fantasy art (mostly OC-oriented). I will probably end up making a couple tags to differentiate those for clarity. And I may also share experimental art+

art of my eladrin oc casper. he has purple hair in two long briads. he's wearing a white shirt with very poofy sleeves and frills, a brown corset and black pants. he also has golden round glasses, triangular gold earrings and a teal necklace. he is leaning his right hand on his sword, while his left hand is raised up. next to his raised hand is a glowing star, that has 6 rays of light coming out of it. to the left of casper are ghosts, that are trying to get to him, but seem to be afraid of the light. casper looks sad, but hopeful.

I suppose it makes sense as, in canon/his city, he is considered a handsome man, he's kind, and he's bi. It aligns quite well I'd dare to say

It's got to be him. He's The character who has had the most crushes and has had others crushing on him the most, both things. There are at least five characters that I know of, who knows if theres more if we count background characters :>

I've seen a few times partial job offers in my city for extra art classes for kids and I would have loved to, but my big sensory issues and kids don't get along well sadly :_) I would have loved to be that teacher who taught me a variety of art stuff when I was like 8 yo

Btw! I may be a little shy but if you want to ask about tips or info about bookbinding, printmaking, art materials, software, OCs, or anything else creative-related, please do!
I'm not a teacher IRL because I have a super low social battery and sensory issues, but I love sharing what I know :)

And part 2, explaining the binding I did would be too much and I didn't take pics of it, but it's Asa-no-ha-toji if you want to search for tutorials - I love how pretty and functional Japanese bookbinding is. Also enjoy a little photo of all stamps together!

My condolences over having to taste the most disgraceful medicine ever :') I think we might just have other medicine/flavors here, I remember some delicious syrup as a kid, but also some incredibly awful ones that make me cough oops

Not the synesthesia coming for youu 😭

I'm not sure I had that medicine ever but honestly, weird tasting syrup sounds like pretty on-point haha specially since one of the things she does as an alchemist in her world is medicine/treatments!

it was sort of a "painter who has a drink next to a cup of muddy water from cleaning brushes picks up the wrong one" moment :') it wasn't toxic, but it tasted awful and she learnt to double check before drinking

Absolutely recommended! I think it helps both others and even you, know your OC better, some are really specific!

This was very tough because she has many secrets but not many that are funny so it made me think of one: as a teen she mistook one of her alchemy creations for water and well +

23. Depends at the point of her story, but at her best she had her two partners, another 2-3 good friends and a few teammates she got along with

57. I haven't drawn her much recently but I definitely give/gave her a lot of attention, pretty sure she has +1000 drawings if we include doodles

Replying to the random ones for likes and the ones asked!
The random ones turned to be 13, 23 and 57

13. If the worst thing hadn't happened to her she'd be a happy adult alchemist with over 15 years of studies and a loving family :') she'd be the type to eventually make some useful discoveries

Watercolor art of the most relevant characters of one of my main worlds and stories (TSOH). The central character is a white haired woman, Ilenne, holding a halberd, struggling as the god above seems to control her. To the left is Ray, her wife, they have horns, facial scars, curly hair and dark armor. They are also wielding a sword with a serious expression. There's three smaller characters above Ray, and it looks like a red-haired knight, a blonde man with a knife, and a soft woman with a single horn. To Ilenne's right is Valentine, her husband, looking conflicted while holding his bow. He wears a green cape, and green and brown leather armor. There's three smaller characters above him: a man wearing white and gold clothes and holding a book, a red-haired woman with glasses and a floating gem, and a dark blue skin elf with elegant clothes. On top of everything there's a god with multiple wings and hands separated from the forearms in a doll/puppet way (no wounds). All the characters seem to be looking in the direction of Ilenne - except for the dark skinned elf.

New icon because some drawings I did of Nala turned out very cute, and new banner too! not sure if I'm fully convinced with it, but I wanted to have a banner showing some of my work :) the pattern banner was a bit of a placeholder

Thanks for asking! I will put it together on thread form but to reply first, life in her good ending is doing well! she's running an apothecary with her husband, and even though there are some alchemy accidents sometimes, it's mostly calm and they both help townfolk :)
