"The Lady of Lost Souls", 10x8, color pencil & ink. The header image for Lady of October, my fave of the VISAGE set because of how perfectly her chains frame the image like ghostly ribs. Her overall shape also reads like butterfly wings.

Prints available -> angelicshades.etsy.com
#halloweenart #art

A hand-drawn piece created with ballpoint pen and color pencil on brown paper. It is a drawing of an ethereal goddess surrounded by marigolds with a flowing opaline veil atop her head. Lost soul sparks gather around her as she leads them to the afterlife.

Fashion design sketches for Lady of October. I incorporated Opal folklore, which is said to make the wearer invisible by utilizing eye motifs. Chains drape like skeletal ribs & butterfly veins as she trails opaline gossamer.

Original drawing available -> angelicshades.etsy.com/listing/1027...

Fashion drawing of a ghostly goddess adorned in a gossamer veil and dress. Drawn in marker and pen.

A detail of the fashion illustration drawn in marker and pen which shows off the details of her multilayered necklaces and flower crown.

Thumbnail sketches for Lady of October. My journey with this painting began with a bevvy of beautiful choices for the Lady's composition exploring her ghostlike nature as she floats through the mists above her spirit shrine.

Lady of September's VISAGE portrait allowed me to show off more of her starry Morning Glories. I also got to show this goddess' two different colored eyes representing dark and light and the red and blue forms of the birthstone of Sapphire.

Having fun with a new photo prop! Couldn’t leave this skull planter behind after he was the last one on discount.

I’ll find any excuse to buy weird junk if I think it could be a good bit of set dressing for art flat lays. 👀

That feel when you find the perfect frame for a painting while you're out bargain hunting! Now to see if I have the perfect matboard to make a good double mat for the final touch to present this piece.

Hey artists! Post some art you made from before Bluesky!

Here's a dark fairy drawing from a few years ago that I still really like. The original drawing exists somewhere in the front matter of someone's ltd. edition gold foil Birthstone Goddesses coloring book. May she guard your home from moths!

This dark fairy has no interest in beautiful things. Only delicious crunchy moths and butterflies. Their wing dust is so scrumptous, like sugar and salt! Drawn ink ink with grayscale marker details.

The Lady of September painting created in the Art Nouveau style framed in muted gold and framed on a minimal white stucco wall. The painting hangs above a desk with a gold plate and plants on the top.

A Wheel for the Birthstone Goddesses! This series pushed me to explore so many palettes I wouldn't have explored on my own, as I naturally tend towards purples and reds. I got to explore a whole world of greens thanks to Emerald, Peridot, & Aquamarine birthstones.
