Carolyn Design

I've been neglecting my social media for a little bit recently, but I've also been prepping to sell my art at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville Tennessee this weekend.  This is just one of many things I've made to prep for it!

Thank you so much!

When Lars of the Stars was announced, I knew I wanted to do some fanart ASAP.  So I immediately jumped into a new project! This will make a cool poster, I think. <3 And I'm really digging this simplistic sort of style for some types of art, especially stuff like Steven Universe.

Krita: 13 hours

I did a speedpaint yesterday.  After seeing a pretty sunset at home, I was inspired to try to capture that feeling in a different setting.  So here's a painting of Broadway in Nashville during a sunrise, right after a heavy rain.

4 hours, Krita

A business card design featuring a pink and yellow sky with wispy light blue clouds, and a mountainous landscape in various shades of blue, with a few evergreen trees on top of the closest mountain range, silhouetted against the sky. The card reads "Carolyn Design"

So, I'm working on some new branding for myself.  I think I'm gonna go in this direction, and lean into doing more landscape heavy art, moving forward.  And it's still the same blue, so I can still use my old signs! <3

A design featuring three Pokemon: a Gyarados swimming in the water with two Magikarp swimming near him. The Gyarados is roaring at the viewer, and the Magikarp seem to be splashing around looking elsewhere. They're surrounded by bubbles.

Phew! I've been doing a lot of art recently, but I'm gonna be taking a break from posting this weekend. But check out this fun Pokemon design?  I designed it as a sticker, but I kinda wanna try to get this printed on a t-shirt!

A sticker design featuring Kris, Susie, and Ralsei from Deltarune in the dark world, posing together in front of a dark fountain. Deltarune Tomorrow!

Deltarune Tomorrow!

I did a quick last minute sticker design because I'm really excited about Chapters 3 and 4!  I love this game so much!

A glass mason jar filled with popping boba in a gradient pattern. The boba are suspended in a clear beverage with ice, making them look like they're floating. The dirnk has a dark purple straw.

I dunno why I like doing things in groups of six so much... Something about it just feels right for some reason? Anyhow, here's the final Boba drink for now. This is some sort of clear beverage with so much ice that the rainbow popping boba are suspended throughout.

A sticker design featuring an old fashioned soda fountain glass filled with mangonada. There is a swirl of tajin on the side of the glass, the glass is rimmed with tajin, and there are diced mango chunks on top of the glass topped with more tajin, with a pretty purple straw

Does this count as bubble tea?  There's no tea in a mangonada, and it's not usually served with popping boba... But wouldn't it be tasty this way? The tajin with mango and strawberry popping boba sounds pretty peak to me, honestly.

A tall glass of lemonade layered with butterfly pea flower tea that is transitioning from pink to blue in reaction to the PH of the lemonade, garnished with a slice of lemon and shaved ice, with a yellow straw

What's your favorite flavor of bubble tea?

I wanted to try drawing something different, so this is a butterfly pea flower tea layered over lemonade with strawberry popping boba, with snow cone ice.

A Sticker design featuring Taro Milk Tea with Tapioca pearls in a dome lidded cup with a green boba straw

Taro Milk Tea Boba!

You gotta love a pretty purple drink, right? I decided to try putting the boba on top of the ice for some visual contrast with this one!

A sticker design featuring a stemless glass filled with a layered matcha milk tea (milk on bottom, matcha on top), tapioca pearls, ice, and whipped cream on top with a dusting of matcha power, decorated with a cute pink straw

Another boba sticker design! This time, a matcha milk tea with whipped cream on top!

What flavor should I do next?

I did a painting of Niko from Oneshot.  This game really stuck with me, and I thought that glow in the dark paint would be the perfect way to represent one of the possible choices you can make at the end. I'll take better photos of the painting later!

The texture in this is gorgeous!

A sticker design featuring a tiger striped brown sugar milk tea and tapioca boba pearls in a classic plastic cup with a sticker lid and a blue straw.

I'm working on a series of stickers featuring Boba drinks, starting with my favorite, a brown sugar milk tea! What flavor drink should I draw next?

Thank you!

An acrylic painting of Bag End, Frodo and Bilbo's Hobbit Hole from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. There are a lot of pretty flowers and colors in the painting

Would you live in a Hobbit Hole?
Finished this painting of Bag End up recently! Don't Hobbit homes just feel like the coziest little homes?

Acrylic on 12" x 12" stretched canvas. Available!

This animation is adorable! 🩷

This is so cute! I'm really excited for the new chapters!

A photo of a 3" x 3" acrylic painting featuring colorful pastel eggs and bacon, and iridescent paint!

A little 3" x 3" painting I did for my local library's mini art gallery 
Libraries are an abundant resource that should be protected at all costs. 

And eggs are yummy

Here's the speedpaint of my mermay piece! Look at that lovely cosmic sky!

#mermay #mermaid #cosmic #art #speedpaint

I know I like to draw, despite struggling with not being happy with my work and the emotional turmoil while drawing. However, I am glad I made these sketches and I hope I will look back more fondly on them, with even more sketches to share that helped me grow.

Ya ever just do fanart of an IP you don't really... know?

Yeah that's this. But I  have an artist alley table at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, and they've got William Shatner as one of their headliners, so I wanted to do a sticker design!

Dame Aylin from Baldur's Gate 3 in her armor. Behind her is the moon and the symbol of Selune. She has one hand over her chest and the other by her side. There are many white and colorful particle effects scattered about the image.

Dame Aylin!!!

Speedran this for Big Lick NOVA next weekend

I did a lil' something something for Mermay! Let's pretend this was for the prompt 'Cosmic' and NOT that I didn't think about prompts at all, lol.  Speedpaint video coming soon! <3

I just realized, I don't think I ever shared my business logo here.  <3 It's nothing super special, but I thought y'all might appreciate seeing it! <3 I feel like it captures the whimsical nerdy nature of my art pretty well! <3
