Hey folks, my tablet is dying, and I need a new one, which will cost about $600. I've got a goal set up for it over at my Ko-fi (ko-fi.com/ianallenbird). Any help is appreciated, including shares!

Digital color illustration, primarily in muted blues and soft sage to yellow. Title at bottom: The Purveyor of Murmurs. A portrait of a humanoid wearing draping robes and jewelry. They have 6 fingers on each hand, a neck made of long flowing hair, and a head that is a deer-like skull with fangs. They have no lower jaw. They have twisting vine-like antlers. They are holding a staff whose shaft is twisting vines and is topped with numerous fingers in a layered flower bud arrangement. Digital color illustration in saturated neon cyan-blue, magenta, and purple. Clean, strong line work with shading done solely with flat color. A single character on a textured background. The body of a horse, rearing up, with four twisting, undulating tentacles starting at the base of where the neck should be. The tentacles writhe against each other while reaching upward. There is a TV static texture effect over the entire creature, making the shaded areas appear more distorted.

Remembering my favorite art from last year and I'm still just SO in love with how my undead necromancer demigod character turned out.

His name is Kail, and his father is that world's very first god of death. When Kail died, his father tried to resurrect him but it went... not quite right.
Waist-up illustration of a male character on a dark Art Nouveau frame-style background with glowing blue 'magical' symbols in a circle around a fainter blue geometric star design. The character is posed with his body facing slightly to the right, with his open right hand stretched towards the viewer. His hand is filled with trails of slightly blue light, as if casting a spell. The man is extremely pale, as if he were freshly dead. His eyes have black sclera and silver pupils. His blue-black hair frames his face in the front, while the back is pulled into a long braid that goes offscreen. His clothes are layered, with a pale blue cloak, dull red undershirt, and loose dark gray pants. He is also wearing a black glove. The character is looking down at the viewer with a slight frown and an air of not-quite-cruel indifference.

I finally had enough down time to photograph “ghost forest”, my big sculpture from my October firing. The results were just spectacular!
A large roundish clay beast, about 18” long, shot against a grey backdrop. There’s tree stumps on the back. Front view of the same beast. It has a smooth head, with no features other than a downturned mouth with porcelain teeth. Back side of the beast. It’s red/brown/black. All the color is from melted wood ash from the firing. There’s many subtle shades and textures.

made a cute little dragon fidget toy :3

(Pattern from: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...)
a crocheted rainbow dragon. its body is a spiral, so you can twist it around as a fidget toy. the crocheted dragon is now twisted up in a circle, its head is upside down and looking into the camera. the dragon is standing upright on its hind legs, supported in the front by its head resting on the ground.

Attention Artists!
QRP and show off the style of your art!

I've mostly been doing MS Paint stuff like the first piece lately but I dabble.
MS Paint drawing of a long black millipede, with little red legs and antennae. The background is green leafy shapes on flat brown. Labelled American Giant Millipede. Digital artwork, a Mother's Day card. A blue and black wyrm in flight takes up the middle of the card. Three large red flowers with white tips sit in front of the wyrm, partially covering its tail. The text "Happy Mother's Day" is written at the bottom. The background is pink-purple clouds. A digital painting of a seagull standing on a man's head, looking out across the ocean at the moon. Done in a angular, polygonal style to emulate a certain painting from the show Our Flag Means Death. A digital drawing of a creature that has one eye, two large bird-like beaks on opposite sides of the head, and a humanoid hand with 6 fingers as its lower half. One beak appears to have a smile and the other a frown.
