watercolour illustration of a tuxedo cat, sitting on an old tree stump in front of an old house and some leaves that already turned yellow
Sketchbook page, a portrait of a person with long hair, their hand is on their shoulder, a fish peeks out from under their hair. The coloring is rough, unfinished. There are bold marker strokes in green, dark green and yellow, and some shading and hatching done in wax pastel, which makes the areas very textured.
watercolour illustration of a person sitting on the floor and surrounded by different kind of foliage and leaves and big, floating fish
Portrait of a young blonde man, looking at the viewer with a serious face. Tangeld around him is a being, vaguely resembling a nautilus, but with a long tail, that winds around the neck of the young man just until the bottom of the illustration. In the background and around him are green coral-like structures, and leaves and plants, some of them looking like sea kelp.
Watercolour painting of a person with green blueish hair tied in a short ponytail. They wear a T-shirt, their gaze goes to the left, they seem lost in thought. Their left hand is suspended in mid air. The background is dark blue. Painted on top in simple line art are fish, glowing in a neon green hue.
A Comparison of two watercolour illustrations: Left: watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two fishes, one looking at him. Right - the redraw - watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two several fishes, one looking at him, one resting in his hand. Swimming in the drink are some objects that look suspiciously similar to the eyes of the fishes.
A sketchbook page with a drawing of a young man, sitting next to a tree, wearing a jacket and a hoodie, big sneakers. Next to him is a strange looking, flying creature. On the page there are also drawings of a leg, a portrait of a young man and a one-eyed creature done in pencil.
A watercolour night scene painting of the cat bus from ghiblis totoro. A big cat on multiple legs, whose upper body part looks like a bus, standing on a tree top, the eyes like headlights. Behind it the bright full moon.

A sketchbook page with drawings in yellow, blue and green of interesting and weird fish. There's the flowerhorn cichlid, a fish with a big bulb on his head, the longnose butterflyfish which has a really long snout, the hairy frogfish who has fins that look like little paws and like he walks on the seabed, and last but not least: the red-lipped batfish, which kind of has a long horn looking like a nose and very prominent lips.

Below them, in capital letters, you can read "MOOD", and under the two "o" there's a little line, making them look like two eyes with an unhapp mouth.
Traditional illustration of a small mermaid clinging to a bone, their tail wrapped around it. Their skin is dark grey, their eyes big, round and white, a big grin shows their pointy white teeth.

A watercolour artwork. In the foreground is a bust illustration of a person with vibrant green-blueish hair, wearing a blue cape of some sort. Their hands are crossed in front of their chest, protectively holding a kind of magic sphere, in which two creatures, resembling fish, are swimming. Next to the head and shoulders of the person in foreground are fresh green leaves in various sizes, partly coming out of their hood. In the background is a much bigger portrait in softer colours of a young man with a serious look on his face. His eyes are green, his hair in a soft sand colour, with a braid on the left side of his face. Surrounding them both is a pair of big, greyish coloured hands and a structure that partly coils around the man in the back. It looks a lot like the body of a snake, with scales and fins that resemble organic structure. In the bottom part of the artwork, two huge olive coloured tassels frame the person in the foreground.
A digital sketch with minimal coloring. It shows a person, almost in profile view. Their eyes are closed, they are smiling softly. Their greenish hair is a bit ruffled. One of their hands touches their collarbone. Under their hand, in front of the chest, some leaves suggest a plant. One of the stems is a bit longer and grows towards the upper edge of the artwork. The plant is colored with glowing green lines. Behind them a creature with glowing green eyes meanders, the body roughly colored with white lines. In between a curl of the snake like creatures' body, a yellow star is drawn. The background is a kraft paper texture.
Pencil Portrait of a person with green hair and a bob cut. They are looking at the viewer with a mix of sadness and melancholy, wearing a jacket with a fur colour.
