Just some recent sketches for portraits for some really great clients! If you'd like one, I have one portrait slot left for October, and a couple full bodies at: forms.gle/C8MvtBn2NotW...

digital waist-up portrait of a Vulcan original character. he appears to be a young adult, slender and tall, with tan skin and olive green-toned blush. he has long pointed ears that are decorated with silver cuffs, straight eyebrows whose tails rise towards the hairline, and dark eyes accentuated with blue eye shadow. his straight dark brown hair is cut in an asymmetric bob. he is wearing beige and brown robes, with patterned olive green pauldrons. around his neck, there are two necklaces: one closer to a choker, with a bright green triangular pendant set into a silver frame; the other necklace is longer, with a rounded golden pendant with a silver arrowhead shape superimposed over it. the character appears to be leaning on his elbows on some sort of horizontal surface, the long wide sleeves of his robes draping down. his long tail with a dark brown tuft of hair at the end is also resting on the table next to his forearm. he is holding a long cigarette holder in his right hand and looking slightly off-camera with a sultry gaze. the background behind him is a glowing periwinkle blue, matching his eye makeup and making his silhouette stand out.

half-body commission for @deerbydesign.bsky.social, their Star Trek OC T'Maar! thank you for commissioning me 💜

I see this all the time at the library where I work. WAY too many people saying "oh I don't have the time" or they have the time but they don't have the mental energy so they just get movies instead. It's heartbreaking.

Man that's a bummer. I definitely splurged on it but woof.

Ahhh gotcha. My bad

How do I get to Ireland 😅

A selection of nine portraits - mostly commissioned by various clients as well as two personal pieces. They’re all done digitally in painterly style with visible brushstrokes and deep colours. There are vampires, vieras, elves, lizards, dragons and other humanoid but ethereal creatures.

It’s my birthday! 🎉 May I be so bold as to ask to share my art?

Below I’m going to drop some links (ko-fi tip jar, portrait commissions, contact for freelance) as all kinds of support are incredibly appreciated in these trying times! 💖

im seeing $75?

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

These are the current lens cloths I have available! I’m super happy with how these turned out and I’m glad people like them! I will have more coming soon 👁️ blacksmoke1033.etsy.com

Oh I'm curious 👉👈 who do you like?
