Action!
Digital illustration resembling an old newspaper advertisement. Three black horse-shaped things stand together. One has the head of a studio camera, the other has a head like a studio light, while the third has a featureless face with more biomechanical elements. The horses are rendered with an organic, ridged texture, with dull highlights resembling wave-form shapes. In silhouette behind them are more normal-looking horse shapes mimicking their poses. Text in the bottom corner reads 'Lights. Camera. Action'. In the background are four stripes in a gradient from brown to yellow. There is some measure of wave-shaped distortion around the bottom of the picture.

self restraint
Painting of a man being grabbed at by multiple black hands with a texture like volcanic glass. One of the hands covers his face leaving only his eyes looking out to the viewer as the other hands tear at his clothes. He holds one of the hands' wrists while his other hand stretches up to cradle the head of a dead swan. His outstretched arm has the exact same odd texture as all the other hands and arms grabbing him. The background is abstract and multicoloured.

split tongue
Flat colour illustration of a werewolf with a thick mane of curling hair and humanlike hands. He has a serpent coiling around his body in nonsensical knots and a bristling coat of arrow shafts protruding from his back.

put it all on black
Drawing of an armless centaur-like creature in black pencil-like strokes, his face in silhouette. He is coming down from a leap with his back legs kicked up and his tail raised, his torso turned towards the viewer. His middle section is broken into segments from which blue wiggly radiating lines emerge. In the corner of the drawing is a cartoony simplified silhouette of a horse head smiling.

No problem! I actually enjoy writing alt text a lot, it feels like an exercise in quickly and accurately summarising a drawing in a way that is functional to screen readers while also capturing a little bit of the feel of the image as well.

more perfect than i was
Drawing of a person in a religious dalmatic robe and headwear resembling a nun's habit. They are pulling open their robe and skin to reveal a V6 engine block underneath. On one side, their skin is pinned back as if during a dissection. Their expression is neutral. Dark hair flows free from their headdress, obscuring one eye, and flames rise up from the bottom of the image. The background is made up of machine parts cast in shadow.

For some context, this is an illustration intended to kinda sum up one character's arc in my book THE VIPER MOURNED, which is the second in a series and the first has a free sample in my kofi. I get a lot of 'idk what this is from' tags and comments. It's always my own characters from my writing!

crawling beast of the earth (limited edition colourway ;)
Art showing a harpy with a large hooked beak attacking a creature resembling a bobbit worm. The harpy clings onto it in mid-air with his talons. A twisting skein of smoke surrounds them.

VII OF SWORDS
Illustrated tarot card for the seven of swords. The composition is hectic and busy, with different scenes and panels like a piece of glass that has cracked. Against a dark blue-green background is Félix, a small man with pale skin and long brown hair, running with his cane in his hand and staring back over his shoulder with a look of shock, only one eye visible. Mirrored images of his eye and the eyes of animals surround his head. A large golden horseshoe hovers just under the sole of his boot. Against a pink-orange background is Macha, a creature with a spiky black texture and long, tangled, thorny hair. Macha's clawed hands grasp out from their own cracked panes to reach for Félix. Several shards of glass show a sky with a dot matrix print background texture, and the galloping front legs of a black horse. One inset shows the golden jaws of a carnyx horn, spewing black blood. Near the bottom, against the wheat beneath the horse hooves, are the silhouettes of seven swords.

Quittin time
Illustration of a street corner at night with a newsprint texture throughout. A single billboard light falls upon a man leaning against the billboard, throwing his face into shadow. At his side, in shadow, is a black horse with a glowing golden eye. The billboard shows a scratchy image of clouds against a sky with the words 'ESCAPE NOW' on top, while a river of green water choked with weeds flows continuously out of the advertisement, pooling on the pavement and reflecting the stars in the sky. Posters for a lost cat and a missing person are stuck up in the empty billboard behind the horse. A tangled black shape breaks through the clouds on the sky billboard, this does not have the same dot matrix texture as the rest of the drawing. The other side of the street, visible around the corner, shows that the building is on fire.

A foal I drew on the first day of spring, the 1st of February! #art
Vibrant painting of a white foal leaping over a pond grown over with duckweed and lilypads. The foal's tail and mane are bristly and short, and the background is crowded with abstract shapes in a variety of different greens.

Green version of the art I put on tumblr, just for the bluesky crowd :)

A green lion who's finally devoured the sun. What next?
Semi-abstract painting of a winged lion standing on an incline surrounded by clouds and black stars. A brilliantly glowing cascade of light spills from his jaws and runs down the slope, casting its illumination onto the lion's fur and mane.

the puppeteer and the knight, art based off my longterm wip novel :)
Illustration showing Pantera, a mechanical leopard, facing the viewer against a foggy pink and blue background. Flames spurt out from his nostrils and mouth, as well as streaming out from the cracks between his sooty black armour. A pair of human hands float over him, puppeteering him with fine blue strings. The fingers have mercury symbol knuckle and finger tattoos. Splashes of quicksilver float around the frame.

Been having fun drawing a lot of harpy characters lately :) This art was previewed on my patreon first.
Lineless drawing of a white harpy standing in a raptorial stance with his wings open above him, casting his body into shade as he looks back over his shoulder at the viewer. He has pale grey eyes and red pupils and wispy feathers around his face, as well as a pair of smaller wings where his ears should be. The background is dark and abstract featuring line drawings of brown and red seaweeds. Close up of the harpy's face, he has pink skin, a pointy nose, and blue eyes with a red iris flash. Whiskers fan out around his face.
