hey bsky! I'm Tea, an illustrator and character designer currently trying to break into the animation industry. I've spent most of this past year working on my portfolio and a webcomic about magepunk pirates. When I'm not doing that, I usually draw fairies!
#art #ocart
Digital art, illustration. A fairy intently studies a glowing flower while a spidery monster lurks in the shadows behind her. Digital art, comic. First drawing: A water fairy sits next to a very large back, staring at it despondently. She asks, "Do I carry too much junk...?" Second drawing: The same fairy holds up a bit of rope. She asks, "Like, who really needs this?" Digital art, character sketches. Several drawings of a slight elvish woman with different expressions. She is wearing a light blouse with big, puffy sleeves, as well as a dark vest and gloves. Digital art, character sheet. Three drawings of a burly man with a beard. He has different expressions in each one.

Happy to finally show the illustration 'In Artur Hawkwing’s Hand' that I painted for @dragonsteelbooks.com 's edition of 'The Eye of The World' by Robert Jordan, from 'The Wheel of Time' series!
Horizontal illustration painted by Eleonor Piteira called 'In Artur Hawkwing’s Hand' for Dragonsteel Books' edition of 'The Eye of The World' by Robert Jordan, from 'The Wheel of Time' series, showing a night scene with Perrin and Egwene (and a mare called Bela) crouching next to a giant statue of a hand and hiding from soldiers walking on the other side of the statue with torches, looking for them. On the background, on top of some giant boulders we can see a group of wolves, one of them has a circle of dots around his head as does Perrin, hinting at a connection between the two.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.

It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

A wood slice ornament with a painting of two antlered deer nuzzling each other, surrounded by scribbly stars. One deer is colored in tones of purple, and the other in tones of blue. They’re against a burnt orange background. The artwork is illustrated with paint pens and colored pencil and has stylized texture to it.

Rabbit Season 🩵
Two anthropomorphic furry rabbits holding hands against an abstract white blizzard background. One rabbit is black and tan, with a blue shawl and black skirt. The other is pale white and tan, with an orange and yellow diamond patterned shawl and tan pants. They both have a medieval vibe in their clothing.

Another commission for The Red Diamond Underground. This one was super fun to work on. Drawing mischievous skeletons is my favorite thing. 💀
a black and white illustration for The Red Diamond Underground for the character "The Smiling Man". This character is a villain preying on people while they sleep. The piece shows juxtaposed spaces with stairs and bridges leading to different doors. There's a dark figure in the left corner sitting in a chair. They have a metronome placed next to them. Their face is hidden in a shadow and they hold a grotesque mask in their hand. The lamp is lit above the mask casting a shadow on the wall. On the bottom right side there's an open door with a silhouette of a bed and a person floating above it and a window behind. There's a distorted skeleton on the right. Above there's a large skeleton popping from a round window. A shadow figure is trying to run away from it. Shadow hands are holding a floating clock with the same elevated figure in the center. In the level above, there's a large figure of the smiling man waving to a small figure who is trying to enter one of the doors. Beside it there's a floating hourglass and a shadow hand turning it. On the top level at the left side, there's a shadow hiding from the smiling man holding a key from a window. On the right left side there's a chessboard with doors, a shadow figure standing in front of it. One of the doors is open with a lilac light coming from it.

I made a few alterations to the original image to make it a little more visually interesting as a tattoo. Pretty happy with it.

Titling this one "Languish" 🦁
A possibly ephemeral lion encircles and older man, who bares his throat submissively to the lion. The lion has its teeth in the man's neck and its claws digging into the man's chest and shoulder; the man raises his hand up to caress the lion's mane.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.
