This is an ink and watercolor painting of an ancient, leafless tree. The wood is a whitish grey with areas of blue and purple. It's rooted into rocky ground with a few patches of green grass, and the sky is a hazy light blue.

A small watercolor painting with some ink of a twisting, ancient tree.

Reskeet with your first crush

This is a graphite and gouache drawing/painting of a stylized moon and clouds.

I picked up Derwent Watersoluble Sketching Pencils and a new sketchbook a little while ago. This was my first time using them. There was a bit of a learning curve for me to get over, but it was fun!

This is an ink and watercolor painting of a tree inspired by the balete trees in the Philippines. The long aerial roots of the tree anchor it to the rocks on the lower left corner, and a gold shimmer has been added to the green leaves to help reveal the mysterious character of the tree.

This is a zoomed-in view of the ink and watercolor tree painting. It is at an angle so the shimmer of the gold paint can be viewed.

I enjoy painting trees, so here's another one.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

A chibi drawing of a pink haired, three winged angel holding a sword. She wears a stained glass outfit in blue, pink, and white. Behind her is a stained glass motif that says "YOU MUST SURVIVE" in the background.

Hey, happy Trans day of visibility from me and from Prism! I hope you walk with light and protection today! 💙💗🤍💗💙🌈

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ It'd mean the world to me if you felt like sharing my work? My name is Rachamim and I make personal queer fantasy work inspired by my Greek Sephardi background! Thank you and have a safe day! 💗

A square image divided into 9. There's a selfie of me in the middle, I'm stood in front of a poster. The 8 squares around me are different illustrations I drew in 2024.

An illustration of my eladrin elf oath-of-the-crown paladin Alder. He has light green skin, and wears a laurel wreath. He has a distinguished moustache and goatee. He has pale green top surgery scars and looks down.

An illustration based on the painting called The Conversion of the Duke of Gandía by José Moreno Carbonero. It depicts two knights: one green skinned and haired, wearing a dark blue cloak embellished with gold details. The other is wearing a silvered suit of armour with golden patterns, detailed with stair motifs. The green knight holds the armoured knight close to him, his head resting on the other's shoulder. The armoured knight looks down with a stoic look.

An ink drawing, with washes of greys, of a fairy. The otherworldly Fae has a neutral expression as they look directly at the viewer. The wings are feathery, and they have the pattern of dragonfly wings.

A small fairy. This one was fun to create.

A small orchid = watercolor with ink. Looking forward to spring.

Yesterday I had someone ask about finding good artists (who don't use AI) to design book covers. Since I make my own, I didn't have a good answer. So...

Cover artists: Post below to help authors find you.

Authors: Have a great cover artist? Shout them out!

Everyone else: repost and boost.

Fun with sparkle! I used a lot of Artistic Isle shimmery watercolor on this.

Thank you! What do you think of the Opaque White? I've been using white gouache with my watercolors, but having another option for white would be wonderful.

I think Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay blue is a really pretty color, and it's what I used to make this eye. I wonder if the other India ink colors are as wonderful and vibrant.

I painted this watercolor a while ago. Creating the stylized wispy smoke was a bit like meditation, and I had gotten lost in it.

Yes! This happened to me once, but it was almost like giving birth to a painting = difficult and demanding and took forever. But, my friend's dog died, and I couldn't find words to help her. So, this happened...

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!

Thank you!

Here is a little thing I've been working on. I don't work with ink often, but I practice with it occasionally hoping to get better.

Poor Pip! Wishing her the best from whatever treatment will help.

Thank you!

Good vibes for you and Maisy

The person who I made this painting for, Emma, titled the painting "Imago". It is named "...after the final stage of an insect's (such as a butterfly's) life cycle after metamorphosis."

Love this! 😍

Love the colors and contrast in this. Art goals.

The details in this are stunning. Love this

I had a lot of fun with this one. I don't use radial symmetry often, but maybe I should try it again.
