Multimedia painting on vertical canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Lubi, he/him, transmasc #Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery This is a mixture of digital and traditional process. First I edited a photo background and added a digital line sketch, which I got printed on imitation canvas, and then finished by painting the character with acrylics. The piece is pretty big - 104 x 139 cm. The background is a photo of an old wine basement, appearing like a cave with brick walls. I edited it to get a blue and green-yellow palette. The character is sitting on the floor in the center of the cave, grinning. The nose, mouth and eyes are the only other part of this piece that was done digitally, as I was unsure if I could paint the sharp edges of the design. He's wearing a hooded cape, which gives the impression of an invisible coat, as its colours reflect the colour of the background in a blurry way. He's wearing a black shirt which extends into a loin cloth with a green, zig-zag edge. The shape of the hood covering his face is a heart. His face is partially shadowed, while red fiery hair is sticking out on the leftside. He's wearing gauntlets, which are shaded in much more delicate detail than the rest of the character. The metallic shading also extends to the wavy-bladed sword. His boots are red and black, with a somewhat checkered pattern. Behind him is a wall which is transparent in the middle, having a dreamlike impression. On the wall of the cave which took on the greenish-yellow tint in the photomanipulation process, I painted a torch with a green flame. On the upper left part of the painting is a yellow moon crescent. Lastly on the top right edge of the painting are a couple of crystals, catching the colours of their surroundings, which makes them almost invisible until you notice them. I really love how these turned out.
Digital illustration on vertical canvas Theme: Experimental / Bionicle / Fan Art / Dark Character: Karzahni, a character from Bionicle #Artsky #DarkFantasy #Bionicle This is a very experimental digital painting quite vaguely resembling both the character Karzahni and Basquiat's work. The character in the middle is an imposing horned and spiked figure in blue and green. He has large teeth and a skull belt. He is holding the chain of a small malformed Ga-Matoran. Left and right of him are kanohi masks, decorating his throne. Some bionicle limbs are scattered in the corners, a lime-coloured one cheekily referencing the breakability of the lego Bionicle pieces of that specific colour. Above Karzahni are two closed eyes, referencing the sleeping Mata Nui. The piece is darkly chromatic, with the background featuring murky reds and purples.
Digital illustration on vertical canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Lubi, he/him, transmasc #Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery This is a digital piece, predominantly in black, red, white and brownish colour. In the center a fully black figure seems to be phasing through the background, as only parts of his body are visible. Some of these parts are flat, while others have highlights that give it dimension. The figure wears only a loin cloth and a helmet. There is a red heart on his chest, and stylized top surgery scars - these three elements are very central to the piece, drawing one's eye to them. A stylized fiery ponytail seems to be attacked at the back of the helmet, and similar wavy styled flames surround the figure on left and right. At the bottom part of the image, the red phrase "SEE IT THROUGH" can be seen. The figure is holding a sword, the blade of which is piercing through the O in 'THROUGH'. The background is a heavily edited and distorted photo, and the image has a white overlay that makes it look like a damaged book or poster.
Digital illustration on vertical canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Ire, he/him, #Artsky #QueerArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery This piece features predominantly pink and lilac hues. In central composition it depicts a warrior (Ire), resting his green war axe on the ground next to him, with one leg on a slightly higher ledge than the other. He's wearing a black/grey sleeveless shirt and a colourful loin cloth in green, red, pink and blue. His body is of a pink colour, while his face is green with red and black markings and two horns on his forehead. His hair (depicted with only a flat black shape) is long and black, sticking out in the back like red-tipped quills. His expression is grim. In the background we see a foggy sky with a partially clouded rising sun, and a brief view of mountains on the left. The ground Ire stands on is grey and purple, while behind we can see a shock of tall blue grass. On the right of the foreground is a cluster of pink and blue flowers with pointed petals. Overall the painting has a very painted look, and an applied texture to mimic a slightly weathered book cover.
how does one even begin to describe this guy. he's scrawny and very weasel-y looking. he's wearing a coonskin cap, a green and orange sports jacket, heart-pattern boxers and white socks. and an axe. literally one of the designs ever i love him.

Digital illustration on vertical canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Uvar, he/him, transmasc #Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery This predominantly red piece features my sorcerer Uvar casting a spell and definitely not looking too friendly. He is standing slightly on the left side of the canvas, his left arm raised up in the center. His black-clawed open palm covers a white full moon. He is naked, save for a striped black-white-pinkish loin cloth and a black hooded cloak. He is crowned with a red and green wrapped band. His arms are red - covered in blood - and his skin has a purple hue. The black cloak is flowing wildly upwards on the sides, turning into abstract wispy shapes on the upper part of the image. It also billows on the bottom-right quarter of the canvas, showing it's red inner lining and tasseled edge. Below it, the canvas is left white. Uvar's face, cast in shadow, boasts a white grin and his one green eye is facing the viewer. His right (our left) eye is missing, replaced by a red scar. His ears aren't seen, but his two big red round earrings are. Basically I thought the last picture I drew of him was too static and mirrored and I thought he deserved much better, so this is a much more interesting and dynamic piece.

Digital illustration on horizontal canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Lubi, he/him, transmasc #Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery This is a digital piece, using a lot of collaging for texture and background elements. It features an armoured character with fire hair and a sword gazing towards a black spired castle being struck by lighting, backed by a rainbow. The ground is dark, as are the clouds above, but the central section shows a blue and pink sky, reflecting in the puddle of water in the foreground. A line of four tall trees leads to the right of the castle, and two black birds are accompanying the character. Right of the lighting is a series of black stars/sparkles in a distinct pattern. The pattern is based on Braille, spelling "Fix your heart or die". The initial background was lifted from a scene in Excalibur (1981) and re-textured with my own photographs. The armour was also copied from a different scene in the movie and outlined fully with lasso tool. Specifically, I turned to Excalibur for the extreme shininess of armours in it. The background also uses one of my photographs, mostly smudged with a little bit of a treeline seen in the distance. The fire hair, birds, trees, castle and lightning were all freehanded with lasso tool, giving them a rough shape.
black, white and orange doodle of a stylized tall and beefy woman holding a large hammer. the background is abstract, but implies a pillar on her right. a silhouette of a rat is standing on the top of said pillar, within an in an orange circle. text above the woman says: "something oath-like"
Digital illustration on horizontal canvas Character: Conjure Pyreforge #commission #anthroart #furryart #scifiart The illustration depicts an anthropomorphic horse with a brown coat and a white mane, gripping the control panel of a falling, burning space ship. Due to the fire, the image is largely orange. There is a window on the side of the ship, showing more fire and smoke outside. Above the window, two red 'WARNING' signs are flashing. The glass of the space ship is beginning to crack. Conjure is wearing a fantastical, spiky armour, and his expression is intense, his teeth gritted.

rough and graphic doodle of my character vampirka, a tall vampire lady. she's laughing and wearing a transparent glittery gown with fringe on chest and bottom. she's standing upright on the left side, and the same upage is flipped around and over on the right side. the background is coloured olive green around her head and torso, and hot pink behind her legs. her skin is the same hot pink.
Screenshot of a tumblr post by me (neon-ufo): Update on shirt preorders In the initial order, the printer mixed up the numbers of brown and black shirts I ordered, so I ran out of a couple of sizes. I thought most losses could be covered by the additional shirts I ordered for convention sale, but I ran short of those too. They have already been re-ordered and will hopefully be printed soon, but sadly this will cause a couple of orders to be a little belated. The sizes that have been affected are; 3XL, 2XL and M for black, and XL for brown I'm really sorry for the inconvenience ๐Ÿ™ ---- (reblog) Update 2 All the shirts I had in stock have been shipped off, and there are 11 delayed orders left due to the above-mentioned fumble. Since my printer had to order additional shirts and wait for that shipment, the wait has been a little extended, but I will post another update as soon as he lets me know they're done. Thank you for understanding!
Same drawing as on the above image, but this version is darker and duller, with a different photo background of a night scenery, looking very smudged in purple, grey and green hues. The character is entirely grey. On his right is a quote; "You can't avoid your way into the life you love"
Digital illustration on vertical canvas Theme: Fantasy / Dark fantasy / Experimental Character: My OC Lubi, he/him, transmasc #Artsky #QueerArt #TransArt #DarkFantasy #SwordAndSorcery Because I had no time in May to work on the monthly experiment, I wanted to make something quick and simple, so this piece has a central composition, depicting an unshaded fullbody character against a (very edited) photo background. The character is a transmasculine person, as seen by the scars on his chest. He is a sword & sorcery-style knight, wearing no shirt or pants, but only a chainmail loin cloth, ornate girdle, fringed boots, cape and a pig-nose helmet with a heart-shaped visor. There is a heart-shaped hole on his chest, and fire rising from a hole on top of his helmet. He is standing in a relaxed pose, holding his sword vertically across his shoulders. He is coloured nearly flat in two hues of light brownish-orange, accentuated with heavily textured lineart. Behind him is a red fiery frame with a glowing effect. The background is a heavily edited photo. The sky appears purple and does not hide pixellated particles caused by the editing. Below the sky is a dark green treeline, most details of which were erased. Lastly there is the grass, which took on a reddish hue.
A black & white digital drawing of the sword & sorcery character Astartha, a trans woman. She is standing under an archway, covered in blood and an axe in hand. Her expression is worn, but relentlessly furious. Both the archway and her tunic have a roman style to them.
