Monstrous looking demon with a maw in chest that stretches from the collar bone down to the pelvis. Demon is on all fours. Upper torso is vaguely humanoid while lower body is hound-like. Long spines adorn the majority of the body.

Honestly completely forgot about this sketch. Super cheeked up demon. #sketch #doodle

watercolor painting of two fairy like rabbits. They have extra ears and are perched upright on wiggly branches in purple and green. The rabbits are greenish white, like they have feathers instead of fur.

A calm large woman cloaked in the forest. She holds up a small child who's dressed in red, and peers up at the giant with her hands on her hips, not afraid.

The cover of a paperback Tales of Symphonia art book/fan book by Frayed Symphony. It has Colette Brunel in her White Lions Asteria outfit with her back turned to the camera as she watched butterflies near a purple crystal on the cover. She is stood in a flower field with ivy and plants over growing an archway above her

About 100 #ArtAdeventCalendar posts already and close to 95% have AltText. Let's keep that up.

Make it easy on yourself and go to Settings and enable Require Alt Text.

It's not "required" because you can do whatever but if you're not using it, you'll find far fewer people share your work.

Estrin is stretching his hand towards a white rose, a full moon hanging in the night sky and stars shining around him. The frame is decorated with daggers, arrows and roses on both sides.

Digital commission for DrunkenFirecat of their character standing in a snowy forest, there's small spruce trees covered in snow behind him and a purple-ish night sky. The character has his left hand on his heart with a fiery fireball around the hand, holding a sabre sword in the other hand and looking up towards the sky.

portrait illustration of a character owned by client. He's a kitsune, so he has fox ears that extends from his medium wavy black hair. He has pale skin and bright red eyes, with rosy lips that contrast the crimson red of the drops of blood in his face. He's wearing a black blouse, has a tattoo on his neck and wears earrings with little stars on it. He also has a scar on his eye.

Digital art of my oc, Cecil, and her partner Samuel Barre. Cecil is a person with the torso and head of a human, but a long serpents body for legs. Their skin is purple and their hair is white. Samual Barre is a tanned, muscular blonde man. They are sitting in a low couch with Cecil in Samuel’s lap, sharing a kiss in the evening sunlight. The image is very purple, pink, and orange toned.

Digital sketch of Sachiko Moriyama (they/she), played by N. They are of Eastern Asian descent, with short bleached hair, and they wear a flannel over a bloodied white tank and cargo pants (which are definitely full of knives and improv survival gear). She stands with a hand on her hip and a katana-like sword propped on her shoulder.

Former Final Girl turned horror survivor badass, Sachiko "Sachi" Moriyama, for @beyondwhatisseen.bsky.social and their delightful storyteller, @mx-s-314.bsky.social.

I just think they're neat. 🔪

Digital art depicting an adventurer, older and scruffy, with strong features and build standing in a dark cave. He is dressed in both chain mail and partial leather armour with a heavy cape thrown over his shoulders. In one hand he holds an old fashioned lantern and in the other he holds an axe. The man is standing on a slight incline, but has turned his head to look back behind him at the many spectral arms which claw through the air after him desperately. In the dark reaches of the cavern beyond he is watched by the faintest of skeletal apparitions.

Digital art of a man from mid-chest up. He is slouching against a wooden support beam, his head slightly tilted to the side and his gaze focused somewhere off-screen. He is partially cast in shadow, and partially lit by a warm orange glow. The man has outgrown sandy hair, sharp and slightly crooked features, and is dressed in a dark greenish coloured shirt with an open blue jacket over it.

This is fan art of a character (and villain) from Mark of the Plague by Kevin Sands. Without saying too much: He was dreadful. And excellent villain. Lives in my head rent free.

Horrible, horrible guy. Also used it as a chance to study Arcane a bit. Kind of.

For a variety of reasons I chose not to write the story for this during the writing challenge, and I'm kinda glad I didn't. I've learned a lot about how I want to approach things and also what not to do. I'm looking forward to hopefully tinkering away at it in the new year with new knowledge.

😭 At this point they could just go to a streaming service of real music and hit shuffle. All they want is a "song" put in front of them. It's called a shuffle button 😭

Well, I guess they want to pretend the song is theirs for the sake of their egos. Because they can't just enjoy art as it is 🙄

Jensen can get into the sea.

Which is 240% warmer than in 1980, in no small part due to the devastating effects of AI & crypto on the environment.

Using AI is literally insane in a existential planetary climate crisis.

Every prompt you use, leads us closer to extinction.
