[me introducing myself to bluesky] what does she like to draw have a guess

A winter queen with reindeer antlers, wearing a luxurious green, fur trimmed gown with feathered collar and holly-mistletoe brooch, raises a lantern to look at a wolf while the aurora borealis lights up the sky behind them. A purple banner with ribbons wraps around a frame around them, and it says "May your days be bright" across the top.

Hi, Bluesky. 🩵 Looking for fellow #art folk to follow.

An illustration of a skull and scattered oracle cards on a table. A snake slithers over them.

A stylized illustration with brightly colored lines and watercolor textures, depicting sea creatures (tuna, a manta ray, a jellyfish, and more) swimming beneath the ocean along with a diver and a rescue bot. A sailboat floats on the water's surface.

An illustration in watercolor depicting an anthropomorphic rooster dressed in fine Elizabethan clothing. He stands at the helm of a ship. Behind his head in a circular frame is a seascape. A large illustrated map fills the rest of the background.

A watercolor illustration depicting two "Memento Mori" style rings in silver and black enamel. They feature skulls and winged hourglasses. One of the skulls has orc tusks.

Lots of people have been leaving IG lately because of Meta's trash AI policy, maybe it's related?

A queen with pale skin and black hair, which is pulled back in large rolled curls. She is dressed in a red and gold silk brocade gown trimmed in fur, pearls and red gems as she conjures a ghostly laughing skull.

A medieval maiden fends off several goblins as she stands atop a thatch-roofed carriage. In the distant background, knights on horseback also fight goblins in a golden autumn wood. An illustration from the novel "Lennamore: A Soul for a Crown" by C.M. O'Slatara.

A knight reaches desperately for a sword as he is pinned down by the foot of a dragon, which does not look amused by this intruder in its treasure cave. The skeletons of other knights are strewn about the cavern among the piles of coins and jewels.

Hi, I'm a fantasy artist in Connecticut. You'll often find my love of history, particularly the 18th century, pulsating through my work. I live for visual storytelling, fairy tales where the hero overcomes the worst odds, powerful magic women and rich worlds. 💙 #portfolioday #art thebrassglass.com

Happy belated birthday!

A green dragon clasps a giant claw around a knight and pins him to the ground. The knight desperately reaches for a sword but it is just beyond his fingers. Knight and dragon are surrounded by piles of gold, jewels and treasure chests.

Who are you rooting for? Midcentury-style inspired illustration made in Procreate. #art #illustration #yearofthedragon

Horse made of driftwood runs along in the surf along a beach.

A three-eyed witch, with gold collar, crown and jewelry, grins crazily as she holds a ball of yellow light in front of her and her six large black braids levitate around her.

Link and Princess Zelda from "Breath of the Wild" walk among reeds and grasses against the backdrop of a blood moon.

i am running into a new year

Go open source! I've been using GIMP, Inkscape and Darktable for years. Even got my previous employer to switch from Photoshop to GIMP in several departments. 😁

The lizard didn't even appreciate it.

I saw what you did there.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 This is my most ambitious digital painting yet; 50+ hours in Procreate. I challenged myself to tell a story through setting and props, and try my hand at magic effects. Learned so much!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 🖤⭐️

The scarab was a symbol for the creation god Khepri & represented resurrection, transformation & rebirth. During the Egyptian art revival Victorians fascinated by the occult, incorporated scarabs into their fashion & homes as a way to tap into mystical energies & ward off evil

I've been birding from my back porch and the Autumn birds have arrived. American Robin, Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon), Golden-crowned Sparrow and Northern Flicker. #birds

Sorceress in a gold collar, headdress and jewelry conjuring an orb of golden light. She's got three bulging eyes, and her six massive black braids levitate around her. She looks powerful and mischievous.

Repostober. I like a strong villainess and a complementary color scheme. #art

There was something in the pool last night.

Repostober - La Llorona from 2017

Sketchbook piece🎨.
Inspired by a post I saw about the (alleged) bones of Mary Magdalene. I just had to give my (deceased) DnD warlock Ecstasy Goldentongue a similar treatment.

If only his Midas-esque Patron/King/Lover had access to more remains than just a lock of his hair....

Hello, artists on Bluesky. Have you ever painted an outdoor mural? Do you have any tips for painting one? 🎨🖌️

Dang, I have an art mentor meeting right then. I wonder if I can reschedule...

This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models.

By now, I'm guessing most have already seen the news on our new project, Nightshade. Lots of artists sharing it, but here's the article from MIT Technology Review (tyvm to the wonderful Melissa Heikkila). This is a thread explaining Nightshade & its goals www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1...

Thanks; I have to work tomorrow night but I hope your event goes great! ✨

I'd gotten good at cartooning in my last job, but wasn't paid for it — and it could be up to 10 hours a week in unpaid labor. (They also grossly underpaid me for my job, but that's another issue.) I wish at any point in education they'd teach how to advocate for oneself.

WIP of two fairies play a duet on flute and walnut lute in the moonlight, surrounded by mushrooms, ferns and twigs, while a frog and snail listen.

Replacing the moon with a lantern and starting base colors on this drawing. :3
