📌 Hi, I’m Ember! (she/her)
I draw fantasy characters, weird creatures, and fanart.
I like TF2 & horror a lot :)

Main Art Tags: #Edynvale #TF2 #oc #fanart #speedpaint

My art is easily found in my feed !
A digital artwork with a sketchy lineart style and textured colors. A large burly character with pale skin, freckles, red hair, and pale green eyes smiles at the smaller character in his arms. A blue-skinned creature with orange fiery-hair sits on his forearm, her scorpion-like tail curls up acting like a hand rest for her. She leans slightly into him smiling with squinted eyes. The background is a pale turquoise with a darker border. A surreal digital artwork where we take the perspective of someone holding a corrupted crowbar. They’re falling through a dark void, pursued by the ominous Interloper Entity, a black and magenta corrupted specter. In the sky is a floating island, down below is checkerboard ground. A statue-like bust stares upwards with pale white eyes, she’s damaged and coated in darkness. Various objects float upwards, while small A-Posing human figures fall downwards. This is fanart for the Interloper Alternate Reality Game by Anomidae.

A grid of 9 panels shows 8 cropped digital artworks surrounding a black panel in the center. The center panel reads: “EmberNova 2025 Art”, and has a small mascot character.

Strange Travelers . . .
#artsky #oc #Edynvale
This digital artwork features two fantasy characters waking through a grassy field full of pale orange and dusky purple flowers. Leading the way is a firey-haired woman with horns and greyish-blue skin, following her is a much larger pale-skinned man with red hair. The two friends both wear tattered clothes and are enjoying their travels. In the back are three bittern-like birds that are human sized, and further distance are blue-tinted hills on a pale sky.

hello new bsky users 👋
do yourself a favor and utilize curation tools

📌feeds; pin specific subfeeds (there are many) to limit and curate what shows up

you can have them saved without them showing on the homepage too; have them as in your face as you'd like

next is ✨preemptive mass blocking (+)

A WIP that I’m excited about :>

This’ll have a lot of water effects, lighting, and distortion I’ve been wanting to experiment with.

A work in progress digital artwork, a faint sketch of an octopi-like woman with a Mann o’war for hair rushes through cascading waves. Above the thin sketch is a cleaner lineart of the main figure and a partially obscured close-up of her eye hidden behind her locs.

A curse (or blessing) has befallen Ember… idk if Barren is taking it well as she is… Messy sketch inspired by the flea’s charity stream . . . @belbeeps.blue

A sketchy digital artwork of a mischievous little horned character with a smug smile in the foreground. In the background is a large red-haired scruffy man holding a small big-eyed blue creature. He worriedly says in a reddish text bubble, “Oh Ember . . . Oh no… how did this happen?” The small mischief creature in the foreground responds ominously in a speech bubble: “Who’s to say . . .”

Sometimes I end up not really knowing what else to do with a sketch, so I loosely color it in like this. Found it to be a nice way to test out new brushes/ideas.

A messy colored digital sketch covered in pale blues, greys, and blues. The largest sketch is in the top-right, a grey-haired older man wearing a dark orange sweater and suspenders points accusingly at the viewer. Below him is a sketch of a whisky glass with a single large ice cube. In the bottom left is a small sketchy full body of the same character, now wearing a dark fur-lined coat. In the top-left is a close-up sketch of his eye.

(2/2) Comparison & Reflection!

2nd image is kinda text-heavy.
Three digital artworks are lined up, each a redrawn image of the same character from different years. On the Left is the newest one, from 2025. A digital artwork with a sketchy lineart style and textured colors. A large burly character with pale skin, freckles, red hair, and pale green eyes smiles at the smaller character in his arms. A blue-skinned creature with orange fiery-hair sits on his forearm, her scorpion-like tail curls up acting like a hand rest for her. She leans slightly into him smiling with squinted eyes. The background is a pale turquoise with a darker border. In the Middle is from 2024. The Second Image is the same character, his design much more detailed, busy and unrefined. He now leans forward in his pose, one hand pointing the other in a fist. One the Right is the oldest one, from 2021. A very simple artwork with flat colors and a very stiff pose. A text-heavy image is a reflection on 3 different redrawn images of the same character in 3 different years. Titled: “Barren Redraw” - Artstyle Progression Reflection (2021-2025) The First Image is in the top-left corner, it’s small, square, and a very simple pose of a character. Title: Oldest: 2021 - April 24th Description: My starting point: I still use the same: Tools: IPad / Finger Software: Ibispaint I was born with hypotonia, holding pencils/utensils/etc has always been difficult & painful. This got worse through my life, but I’ve been able to draw thanks to touchscreen :) I can’t really use pen pressure, so I later leaned into a sketchy ‘storybook’ artstyle. The Second Image is the same character, his design much more detailed, busy and unrefined. He now leans forward in his pose. Title: 2024 - September 29th Description: Artstyle Emergence/Experimenting: -Designs became more detailed, but messy. -Anatomy becoming less cartoony, more stylized approach + muted colors. -Excessive detail/Textures: not in a positive stylistic Maximalist way. The Third and Largest Image on the right side is the newest one, the character now holds a second smaller character in his arms. Title: Newest: 2025 - November 25th Description: I think my art’s stylized anatomy had a big leap in improvement this year. Ember’s here now to ‘inform’ the leaning pose, illustrate his character’s scale, and to add emotional context. Best Friends :D There’s always more to learn and improve, but.I’m happy with my progress at this point! Same software, same device, same tool 👈 In the bottom-left corner is a small message: if you read all of this, go make something !

I haven’t posted in awhile, college/life keeping me very busy on that end. But! I’m finishing up an important artwork …

Nearing the end of every year, I’ve been redone one of my 1st artworks to track my progress since I started doing digital art in 2021. :)c

I kinda want to do a design breakdown… I realize I’ve never really gone into my thought process, inspirations, narrative reasons or anything else like that behind any of my characters. Might be cool idk :o

I had like $30 on my Switch trapped on my account… so a couple weeks ago I got Pokemon ZA :>

Besides Tomodachi Life coming out next year, I had 0 plans of getting anything else.

I’m taking my time with it, and it’s way more fun than I expected and the writing is fun :>

#oc #ocsky #art #myart
A digital artwork of an aquatic enviroment that casts light upon a woman whose body resembles an octopus, hair resembles a mann o’war, and her face mostly obscured by shadow. One of her four arms touches a watery fish that swims above her, the other three rest in idle positions.
