Ink drawings in a hobonichi planner - the left side is the moomin family and snufkin having a picnic, and the right is some poppies with human faces in the middle of the blossom - it’s not scary as much as contemplative, imo.

More ink drawings in a Hobonichi planner; the left side has a guy made of lots of little bugs hiding in a trench coat, sleuth-y hat, and some big boots. The right has a dapper looking gentleman surrounded by seagulls, all pensively looking into the distance, and the seagulls are holding various bits of trash.

More inktober in a Hobonichi planner - this page is just a little ink drawing of bilbo, picking at something in his pocket and holding sting in what looks like a cave. There’s a big white circle haloing him. The caption says “what have I got in my pocket?” Well?

Some favorite #inktober drawings from this last month - to be more accurate, it was #peachtober2025 ! Bilbo was definitely a favorite of mine, but I like the bug guy quite a bit as well

A dwarf in a painterly sort of style, an unfinished sketch. They’re staring in to the middle distance with a slightly pensive expression, like they’re listening for something. They have ginger and grey hair, and a beard with amethysts braided in throughout. They have a spiked crown that comes up through their hair in sharp amethyst spires. They’ve got a pickaxe.

I made all these for an event and then the event changed a bit :’))) I still love them and want to make more, however… Halloween postcard commissions? 🎃🦇✨

Ah, this is rad - I should paint her too, she’s fantastic. Read The Lathe of Heaven again recently, and absolutely loved it. Great bits of texture in here, I think they add so much! And all the lovely subtle greys! 🩶

Two little ink drawings of some sort of whimsical coastal buildings - they’re sort of loose and scribbly

The coast! Dry dune/beach grass up front, and pleasant rocky sand until a swath of ocean horizon, buckled in on the right by a nice big shore outcropping

Little house doodles from this summer, and a picture from the beach this weekend :)) a curated pairing 🕯️🌊

A warm black and white drawing of a tiefling, looking forlornly at a zweihänder. He’s got gloves, chainmail and armor on, but his head and horns are exposed. He’s got a forked tail. He’s holding a mysterious necklace.

Unnamed tiefling… but I think… he’s going to be pink #dndart #illustration #characterart #ilovehim

Columbo, smoking a cigar in the mirror around some shiny perfume bottles and such, a painted study from an episode in an early season, I think the one where the killer is the sister of some mogul dude who she takes out and then goes all pretty woman sicko mode on everyone’s ass, I think the naked gun is there

Painting of Kermit De Frog, Here! He’s in moody colors, and in much the same garb he wears in A Muppets Christmas Carol, very Dickensian.

A jester of my own creation, painty style, with glasses and a suspicious set to his eyes - he’s got the classic jester hat with the tassels. There’s also a big frilly tassley dragon, with its mouth open in a big smile-y grimace and a sort of vacant expression in the eyes. A little sort of jester cleric is in he corner, and I hope that’s an idea I expand on

Ness and Co. from Mother 2, or EarthBound!

A more official intro! I’m Kali! Trying to get a grip on social media, I’ll try to post on here and instagram more… hopes and dreams… #illustrator #digitalpainting #kermit #earthbound #columbo

Grass Wonder from the horse game (Umamusume) in her cool cleric garb, looking toward the viewer sort of benevolently

Hey everybody, here’s grass wonder #umamusume #firstpostbestpost
