I got a new paintholder and got inspired by its print #art #bskyart #tradart #watercolors #painting #galaxy #space #sky #SciArt #night

A dove couple built a nest right in my parents backyard. The kids (squabs or squeakers, I guess) have left the nest, but one's still hanging around the tree. #dove #squeaker #bird #photography

Mountain studies - Blue & Orange hours I used a photo reference for the one with the lake to get "back on track". #art #mountains #dusk #sunset #landscapes

A rough meme-ish pic of the characters from a Dragonbane (Drakar och Demoner) campaign with my brother's family. These are the premade characters from the new box set Fria ligan released, so technically fanart? 🤷 Who knows? #Dragonbane #DrakarochDemoner #fantasy

"Azarr Steppe" - @highrollersdnd.bsky.social fanart. I'm a bit behind so I don't know how well it matches current descriptions. It was a rising composition to start with but it looked quite unbalanced so I tried to turn it more into a V composition. #highrollersdnd #art #landscape #fantasy #sunset

I bought myself a MovinkPad 11 as a Christmas present, so I've been getting into clip studio paint again. Really love the Wacom pro pen 3, feels great! #art #fantasy

Inspired by all the lakey landscape art on my feed. Started in 2025, but finished after midnight so I guess it's my first piece in 2026. Wish I made the horizon a bit brighter. Happy New Year! #rebelle8 #art #landscape #lake #sunset

Been doing some sketches in bed during the holidays at my parents. Likely last drawing this year. Sakura microns, Posca PC1-MR, Panduro Cool Grey marker (CG3). MIght scan when I get home unless I hate this piece by then. #ink #art #traditionalart #fantasy #monster #werewolf #markers

Inktober 2025-18 "Deal". Cheated a bit and used color markers. Bonus head sketches. Trying to do these when I have some time over. Sometimes with photoreference but these are are not. #Inktober #Inktober2025

Along the Chikanishing Trail Revisited, 11x14", acrylic on canvas #painting #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #nature #natureart #killarneyprovincialpark #killarneyontario #trees #treeart #landscape #landscapepainting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #art

First non-digital painting in at least a decade and a half :O ... trying gouache for the first time, as well... the blue is crazy in real life, not sure how to capture it digitally. #gouache #physicalmedia #art #landscape #painting #bluesky

I heard InkTober is a thing? Trying out brushed Windsor & Newton Indian ink mixed with water on watercolour paper. Some white gelly roller as well. #inktober #ink #art #physicalmedia

Greyscale markers and B&W inks. I'm starting to really like the Posca white pens. The elf lady was done with Copic markers that has a brush tip, allowing layers of shading. #markers #ink #art #physicalmedia #fantasy #sci-fi

Some quick faffing around with markers and ink. It's quite satisfying how big they are... almost like between a brush and pen. Some of the colours on the lady didn't look less vivid scanned, I think it's because they are flourescent. #cyberpunk #post-apocalypse #markers #ink #art #physicalmedia

Sorry, I messed up a sentence there. Some of the colours look much more vivid in real life, like the pink in her eye and shadows. They're basically neon. I think they look washed out when scanned because they're flourescent.

Did a very self indulgent paint job last night for my newest #D&D character. Meet Scruffles the Wizard. It's going to be very interesting to play a wizard without hands #miniature #miniaturepainting #minipainting #fantasy

I'm an artist working as a graphic designer, creating is my life. But if the industry changed and told me I could only work using AI I'd change careers in a heartbeat. #fuckai when it comes to any form of art, it's a mockery of human creativity.

Did a warm-up before going back to a piece that I've been working on for a few weeks, when I have time. Starting to get back into digital art with a huion kamvas (my first screen tablet!.. always been an intuos man before). #cyberpunk
