Hi #PortfolioDay

I’m Nix, a scientific illustrator who primarily designs apparel and draws pen&ink skeletons and animal/plant/pet portraits, but I also dabble in digital commissions—mostly chibis and emotes.

I had a fun idea for an art station at a Halloween party!

Photo of an art station featuring earth toned posca pens, pencil, gravestone-shaped wooden ornaments, an example of a painted ornament with a raven and bat and death’s head motif and leaves, and a sign that says “PAINT YOUR OWN GRAVESTONE” with color swatches of the posca pens. The sign also has a section labeled “TEST COLOR COMBOS HERE!”

If I were a cocktail I’d be an Italian Irish coffee—Frangelico+Jameson+coffee+cream—because I've got a lot of flavor, but I’m over-caffeinated and I’m always too hot

I painted a Halloween ornament 🦇🪶

#humanartist #art #posca

Gravestone-shaped wooden ornament painted with POSCA paint pens in earth tones. Art/design features a common raven standing with mouth open, a little brown bat in flight, several small leaves, moon phases, and a “death’s head” skull+wings motif commonly seen on American colonial gravestones

“When There Were Dragons”.

This was an experiment for a much bigger project & I couldn’t be happier. It is not a scientifically accurate Allosaurus skull, but it is not intended to be. I carved the skull in relief and then burned the smoke swirls even deeper. #art #allosaurus #paleoart #dinosaurs

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

It’s my birthday, the autumn equinox and the first day of fall 💛🍂

It would mean a lot if you could share my work today.

Thank you for all the support this year. It’s everything to me

Hope Persephone’s blessings find you today ✨

Black and white illustration representing Persephone during the autumn equinox. A frame surrounds the whole thing split in half in black and white. The middle horizontal section is torn in half like a piece of paper representing the division between the above and the underworld. In the bottom right corner are wispy swirling smoke lines going towards the centre with 3 bats flying from right to left. In the bottom left is the symbol for Persephone. In the middle are two pomegranates one whole and one cut in half. In the top half on a black background is a bee in reference to Persephone’s name as “honeyed one” on a circular medallion with narcissus flowers dropping petals around it. In the top left is the Greek word for Persephone

So excited to share that I illustrated an upcoming card game! And it’s all about FERRETS! ⭐️

⬇️

[ #cuteart #illustration ]

A photo showing the box art for Ferret Frenzy, a ferret-themed card game. The artwork shows ferrets running around and playing in a pile of various household items in a rainbow of colors. Several hands are reaching in and grabbing cards as if playing the game.

A card from the game Ferret Frenzy. It shows a white ferret bouncing up excitedly with a bunch of items scattered around it. The card is titled “Weasel Dance.”

You ever been suspicious of yourself for hiding something from yourself so you go through your own sock drawer only to find SOCKS?? The most suspicious of garments?!? You’re onto yourself *narrowed eyes*

PigBeeCreative @pigbeecreative.bsky.social · Aug 31

I know this post is old, but I’m just now seeing it and laughing because I’ve been referring to this game as “Bloop” for that exact reason 😆

The #knittingpattern for a square version of the flowers on the side panel (called Hana coasters) is available via Ravelry and Payhip:

Built centuries ago by ancient spa druids, BluetoothSpeakerHenge continues to serve healers to this day. Still, the reason for the stones’ layout remains a mystery to spanthropologists.
