Maenas Morgul

A tattoo of a female half-elf in a harness on my inner left arm. There is a big tambourine motif behind her legs.

Ythendria likes it enough she eventually buys her own harness (yes that is my tattoo, artwork by @morgul.bsky.social, whose work on shibari inspired this whole thing). I suspect her pre-adventuring friends might have left her tied places when she was being annoying, but now she can teleport XD

Can’t remember if I’ve shared this or not but I did a little sketch gift for @jeszcze_ciszej (on insta) who tattooed me last January! I’m getting my next tattoo at the end of this month (different artist) but I really loved making a lil pressie ♥️👉👈 #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

And this is a sneaky peak at a Secret Santa gift I made this year for @nokeh.bsky.social ! Can you tell I love pink?~ 🌸 I got very carried away but this baddie came together FAST so I knew I was enjoying very bit of it. ☺️ #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

This is the other OC I made for the server so far - they’re a lot more complicated and nuanced, and I’m excited to introduce them soon and see how they get on. They’re a failed science experiment with 4ish forms, and their backstory is really tragic (of course) #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

Another thing is, I’ve recently been introduced to a wonderful RP server full of super talented and imaginative artists! This is one of the new OCs I made as part of joining ☺️ I love her already, she’s a real mess. And she’s FLUFFY 🤩. #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

I also did this fun #Gunpla themed self-portrait, back when it was that AI trend for making yourself into a toy doll. I was really proud of this one 😌🙏 #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

Unsurprisingly, I got carried away and did a companion piece with my own sona to go with Nichii’s 🥺👉👈 I found it harder to get the contrast right on this because of the much more restricted colour palette! #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

This is a gift I made for my good friend, the cute gorgeous wonderful NichiiExE 🥰 of her sona! I love drawing the hotties as we all know… #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

Just taking a little break from my historical work to share some more recent pieces from me! This painted sketch I did a while ago, but only finished the final touches recently. It’s a gothic self-portrait chibi! #artistsofbluesky #noAI #humanart

Life is hitting the fan right now so I lowered my commissions a lot- $50 for colored fullbody and $25 for just a sketch

Shares are super appreciated <3 <3

And this commission was for the very sweet @TwickyFox!! Another one where I loved doing the special lighting. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also did MAD commissions in 2022 - this was one of my all-time favourites for the beloved Witchpuppy. We wanted magical girl vibes and we GOT magical girl vibes!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also started to work on my second big collection for merch - the first one was all about heretic vibes, and this one was going to be a huge dark magical girl project that I only really just got started on. 😓 It takes a lot of work to make a whole collection! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I’m finally making #adoptables again! I really love playing around with character designs and experimenting with different art styles, so I’ll be putting all of them in my vgen shop @ various price points from now onwards. 💋 vgen.co/morgul/shop

And some more gifts for friends....I did quite a few emojis in 2022! I kind of struggle to come up with my own but when there's a meme or common emoji format then I can work pretty well with emulating them for new designs. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

....but here are some of the detail shots from it, avoiding the riskiest areas. 😏 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I reeeeeeally can't share the full picture for my other best-piece of the year; this was the Valentine's 2022 piece where I modelled the pose for myself. The shading on this was some of the best I've ever done and looked really realistic!! I was hitting my groove for sure. #noai #artistsofbluesky

And there was another piece for my beloved Beth/NichiiExe 🥰 huge bongos. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Another side-portrait from January 2022 - I was trying to get some practice in and Vainglory is always a good model. I was pretty proud of this one too, as I really struggle with this angle. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Then we had one of my ALL TIME most-proud illustrations - I was encouraged on a stream to do a pirate-y self portrait and somehow it turned out absolutely incredible? I have this one framed on my wall at home and it reminds me of the kind of work I can produce when I really work at it! #noai

Then we start getting into art from 2022! In January I did a sketchy piece that turned into something more, of my #DungeonWorld character Freya. It's the first time I'd drawn all of her scars in such detail and I loved the lighting I did for this. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

This comic was my favourite because I didn't often (and still don't) draw for myself, and I really pushed myself on the lighting and angles/posing. It was dramatic and romantic and sad, and I still like to go back and read it from time to time. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

One of my last favourite pieces of art from the year comes from a comic I did - my first proper one! - processing a scene from an old tabletop rpg. My character, Geriel, had been asked if she loved anyone - and had to mask the heartache and trauma that brought up for her. #noai #humanartists

And a fanart for my favourite vtuber at the time, Dyarikku 🙏 Kinda wish I could go back and change the pose I picked for this, but it was done with excitement and haste and I got a little bit of fan appreciation for it so I was very happy. 😌#noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also contributed a gift to a charity fundraiser - a cute lil doodle request that ended up being Buttercup from everyone's favourite childhood magical girl show. 😌 Went for a lineless style here, too! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Then I also had an artist Secret Santa gift for @hallowchii.bsky.social - their art is incredibly cute and I was lucky to get them in the draw 👉👈 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Did this cute little gift for my friend @lilypips.bsky.social's birthday from that Winter season! She's unbelievably pretty guysh 🥺 I get flustered just looking at her!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also updated my Vain PNGtuber towards the end of this year! I went more chibi with this version and I was in LOVE with her even just from the first sketch. I really struggle with chibi styles and still don't "have" one, so I still love looking back to this. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

And another little chibi gift it seems I did for the lovely Saff 🩷✨ She taught me how to do those pretty plump stars I've always admired. 🥹 I miss those fun art twitch days a lot!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists
