A female butterfly queen standing on top of stairs with a little butterfly princess hiding behind her. A fairy sitting on a stone in a lake holding a pot with a plant that grows one single strawberry. She happily leans her head against the head of a snakelike furry dragon that wears a collar with a strawberry tag.

Frost ❄️🤍
A Korean woman stands on a bridge as she looks up at a glowing snowflake. A white snowy dragon wraps around the snowflake. The scene is inspired by a garden of morning calm in Korea.

This year my friend Harvey finally got a santa hat that fits him better. The one before was way too small. 🥰

I haven't been decorating in the last years even though I really loved it before. I was just too sad. This year I finally found the joy and motivation again to do it again. And it was the best decision. Looking at the lights makes me so happy. ❤️
Window sims with christmas decorations. Most notably a curtain of glowing stars cristmas lights in the window.

Trying new way to draw: acrylic paints on a canvas. It's round metallic pin 5.5cm size
Drawing by acrylics was hard after years of using watercolors and pencils ^^'

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

What is your favourite book at the moment?

I don't read as much as I used to. As a child I was basically living at the library but this year I think haven't finished reading any (just for fun) book. Only artbooks, some rpg rulebooks and half of an autismn selfhelp book. 😅
Illustration of some green, brown and reddish books with golden applications. Mushrooms and plants are growing from the books and a little snail with glowing windows and a glowing lantern on it's shell is climbing over the books. One of the books is heavily decorated with golden swirls and one can find a door and glowing windows on it. On it's top is a little chimney and smoke come out of it. On the left side of the picture is an inkjar and a feather and on the right side stands a potions bottle, half filled with a red-pink liquid and golden leaves.

Next to the books, on the left side, is a small ink jar and infront of the books lies a feather. Next to the books on the right side is a pretty potion bottle with crystal cork and plants floating inside the bottle. November "Cozy Friends" Rewards: Colouring page of three bookmarks. The first on the left reads: Just one more chapter. Beneath the next are bookbacks and plants growing from the books. Under them is a play bar for music, one can see the pause button.

The third bookmark in the right reads: Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be. The text is surrounded by floating books, some open, some closed, a cup, a candle in a jar, an ink jar with feather and stars, plants and sparkles.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear

"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

Still looking for a nice advent calendar?
World of Dice has multiple dice calendar this year. ☺️

And I was the one to paint the illustration for it. ❤️

worldofdice.de/products/dic...
Photo of an advent calendar. The calendar shows a snowy nightscene of a winter market with warmly illuminated booths for dice, potions, weapons and sweets. Four dragon adventurers are standing in the foreground. From left to right: A purple dragon in dark purple wizard robes putting a potion into a bag; a red dragon in golden armour holding a meat skewer and a package; a blue dragon in dark clothing, hiding under a cloak and playing with dice; a green dragon with leaf like scales, wearing a leaf cloak looking at a pair of snow owls. On their shoulder sits another little snow owl looking annoyed at the blue dragon while eating a meat skewer.

On their shoulder sits another little snow owl looking annoyed at the blue dragon while eating a meat skewer. The motive is here two times. Upper Version was the final version with more of the picture to go around the calendar product. The Version below shows it how it looks on the front of the calendar

I should be used to it by now that I'm always everybody's last choice and to always be forgotten, to only be remembered when it's convenient. But it hurts nonetheless every time it happens. Because after every "sorry" I keep up the hope next time will be different. But it never is. 😞

Consumed a big energy drink cuz tired, but now I'm not able to focus on anything productive. Maybe because the coffein is making my hypomania worse and I have a feeling as if my hurricane of thoughts is going to catapult me into a new plane of existence. 😅 Or in short: I have the Zoomies 😂
