IT IS FINALLY HERE 🎉 I’m hosting a DTIYS featuring my OC Cricket (it/its, they/them).

- Use the hashtag #rtnorthDTIYS
- Tag me please 👀
- Ends December 7th, three months from now!
- Feel free to crop/change colours/adjust however you need.

Digital art of my OC, Cricket. They are leaning back in a chair that's pushed into a desk. The chair is tilting back, and Cricket has their legs up on the top of the desk. Cricket's head is tilted back and slightly towards the viewer and it has a lax sort of smile on its face. One arm is draped across its stomach, and the other hangs free so the fingers nearly brush the floor. Cricket is dressed in a loose, partially unbuttoned shirt, suspenders, and nondescript brown pants. It has a black stylized cricket tattoo on both forearms, and a striped neck tattoo that ends in feathers under the collarbone, and then a skull over the sternum. They appear to be in ramshackle office, and pinned to the side of their desk is a notice advertising "RTnorth's DTIYS. Join in until Dec. 7th. Use #rtnorthDTIYS". The lighting is entirely an artificial neon pink.

Sketch-tober day 11!
He angy
#aasb

Sketch of my oc, Velos, sitting on a stone throne in darkness. He has horns and a tail, and several scars on the left side of his body. A beam of light at an angle falls across him, half across his face but highlighting the rest of his body. He moodily rests his head in one clawed hand, legs crossed. His eyes reflect in the dark

Amidst everything I decided this was the month I'd get back into reading. I forgot how much my attention gets completely consumed lol. Time has become even soupier than usual. Only the cycle of work/art/write/book exists for me now.

#ArtSky #Art

A digital painting with oil like brushes of a feminine redhead facing the side. They hold fingers by their chin and lips, smiling. They have shoulder length wavy ginger hair. They are standing at sunset, painted with colourful high chroma tints of warm colours and blue/green.

*scary because drawing real people is bad for my anxiety.

This is stuff from back during the summer up to literally this morning lol.

Some art that isn’t really anything. Sketches, doodles, a random study of a character from a movie and thus an actor which is scary etc etc

#myart

Digital art of Yassen from the Alex Rider TV show. It is a study of screen shot in which the character is facing the camera almost entirely front on, but his eyes are looking slightly up and to the side. The art shows him from the collar bone up. He has short dark hair, dark eyes, and dark clothes, his expression is dour looking. The background is indistinct desaturated blue grey shapes.

Black and white digital art. A character where a featureless metallic mask turns to look over their shoulder at the viewer. Their hair is short and wavy, though the side ps are shaved. They are wearing a dark short sleeved shirt with a collar.

Digital art of an autumnal forest scene from a somewhat low perspective. Two trees frame the scene, and within their reach is a jagged stump, a large stone and some bushes. Beyond that is the rest of the forest, populated by multiple trees, bushes and tall grass. The foreground also has some out of focus grass and branches. The colours range from brown, to greens, brightened by oranges and golds.

Screen shot of a digital doodle. In it a character stands with one hand on their hip, the other loose at their side. Their expression is vexed, as a gargoyle like creature the size of a young child crouches on their shoulder. The character has a long lavender ponytail and undercut and is dressed casually in a long short sleeved over jacket in green, a grey long sleeved shirt, and dark pants. The gargoyle is smiling and lime green. It is coloured as if done hastily with limited markers.

I'd really encourage folks in Canada to write out their thoughts in this survey.

Most of mine were "Don't", but I really got to dial in on some.

Sketch-tober day 9!
Had to rush this Kali piece, but it lends itself to the action!
#aasb

Sketch of a woman with long braided hair and bangs that cover her eyes reaching forward with a monstrous arm. One eye glows beneath the bangs, lightning shooting from it and wrapping around the hand. She growls, everything moves like it has epic wind, and the linework is messy and chaotic, giving the sketch a lot of dynamic action

Not to say it wasn’t a good book. Super well done and very sincere. “The Edge on the Sword” by Rebecca Tingle if you enjoy historical fiction.

RT North 📌 DTIYS Pinned @rtnortherly.bsky.social · 1d

Finished rereading a book I read many years ago. Turns out it had a hugely sad point, but I’d overwritten that in my brain with a happier twist.

Now my face hurts from crying about it.
