When its hot I'd rather sit in a plant, pretend I'm a banana and watch the world go by.

🎨by me of Lapres, my very long noodle.

Two colours in this one only - hot pink and electric blue - overlayed with different opacities to make the different values of purple.

Marker-ish illustration. White background with a slight pink shade - a very long dragon (long neck and even longer tail) sits on a Banana plant (Musa Basjoo) watching a blue bug crawl on one of the leaves. The dragons colours are white, face of purple, and her belly is a purple colour with blue scale lines.

I don't often take photos anymore but we had to here.
I still couldn't get over the scenery we had access to. It felt surreal staying at a barn with bats, sheep, and an incredible view. @claytoncaribou.bsky.social @booshieboo.bsky.social and @bristol.bsky.social Location: Author's Stone

Happy Birthday to my little hero. It's been a crazy adventure that we're on but I'm so happy that I have you to experience life with me. You picked me and have followed me ever since - I'm proud of you and the personality you have, even if you pee in the sea. Every. Time.

Happy third birthday. xx

Happy Anniversary to my hoss. Thank you for standing up for me, and standing by me through everything. xoxoxo @ellis171.bsky.social

I've slowly been working on reference sheets again. Yesterday my Neuro appointment has explained a lot about why I struggle to illustrate. Still, every time I finish something, I feel like Ive hit a milestone. This was 2023, but still very proud of this one though it took ages @ellis171.bsky.social

Not quite the same as a D&D character, but I fell down a slippery slope into MTG. Made one based on an Orzhov vampire and Lappy. XD Enjoyed doing more fantasy stuffs!

Ilu coffee hoss!

Another one by @lapres.bsky.social!

This is Evan Swifttide, kitsune, Warlock & Smuggler! Probably the most morally dubious character I've ever played.

Favourite fact: Got a Charisma based sail skill check by responding "I don't know, sail casual" when asked how to sneak past an enemy fleet. 😂

I want to see your Fantasy/TTRP OCs!

Agnimitra was my first D&D character, a fire-genasi with strong religious devotion and firey personality to match.

No matter what happens, or where we are, @booshieboo.bsky.social is always someone I can lean my head against. Thank you for being my fuddly duddly and putting up with my shenanigans. <3

Somewhere between stained glass and marker. Experimental but digging it.

Red and white monster, yellow fangs, red webbed wings with white bones. Tall ears, yellow mohawk and curved horns frame her face. Stained glass effect and marker. Don tknow how best to describe this. Its my boo.

Fastest way to be migraine free for a brief moment?
Step on a wasp,

Suddenly everything else is on fire.

Brought to you by realising FND + Wasp sting = new level of hell.

Harvest and Frost - Autumn and Winter (2/4)

I've set myself a mini project of taking my marker type drawings and going full on into stained glass styled #mtg cards.

Hopefully the vampiric forms of Lap and @heartlilly.bsky.social work well as cards. Enjoying this style and finding it comfortable.

Orange and green vampire art, styled like stained glass. Dried green roses are at the forefront, the vampire herself has orange horns, and red hair. The glass behind her has dead vines and roses, with a nod to the moon.

A winter vampire, I've called Frost. Based on Heartlilly @ bluesky's dragon I've humanised her in a chilling colour set. Her skin is light purple with feathers and a blue dress. A moon in between her two horns that arch upward.

I work for a disability inclusive company making AD/SD stuff and the level of rudeness we get from both ableism and lack of understanding from others in the DC is horrible. Two of us have major disabilities but work as hard as we can, but the public can be cruel. Sorry this happened to you to :( 💙

You can see I had zero direction with where this was going. #mtg #tokenart Still, going back to my #orzhov roots.

Still learning what I can do with the brushes I made. One of the fun comments was my art style was looking sort of like a tapestry, or stained glass... so...

Fizz made me a deck, so fitting the theme with seasonal vampires. Autumn first. I always dreamed of making a card. #magicthegathering #mtg

While I used to do printing for myself, I now have access to industrial size machines and we've toyed with the idea of making fur and pride gear.

They are supportive of my health and I work as often as I can. Blessed to have the team that I do now as we all bring our own strengths to the company.

I thought it might be fun to show where my skills went. We make non-verbal advocacy gear as well as working teams.

We also provide gear for Nervous/Reactive dogs, to give voices to those who can't speak for themselves.

My work fam has been supportive of my furry art and cheer me on with drawing.

Sterling makes fantastic avatars for VRchat and has been a friend since I first stepped foot in the Train Station attending my first Leeds meet back in 2013. I looked like a lost sheep trying to find faces I didn't know, but Sterling was there with a smile. <3

@sterlinggryph.bsky.social

A marker type illustration of a demon wolf. Anthropormorphised, he stands tall (the image is from the hips up) of a grey wolf, hints of stained glass aesthetic, with long sweeping white horns, front flopped ears, and a hand up ready to cast. His arms have a crackled design from vibrant blues on his hands upward going into purple and pink. He has two large sweeping wings. The background is white however trees with their branches mimic the crackling effect. This character is owned by SterlingGryph here on Bluesky, and illustration was drawn by myself, Lapres in 2025.

Derpy is cool and all, but for me - its all about Sussie.
Ellis fell in love with Sus, as did I. Every time it'd emote I'd utter "mood."

It's been lovely learning more about the folklore behind the movie.

KPOP Demon Hunters fan art by Lapres. Features a blue tiger with vibrant blue stripes surrounded by b lack, a light blue belly and toes. Eyes are vibrant and almost popping out of its skull and large teeth from its upper jaw. On top of its head is a magpie with three eyes and a serrated beak, and a little hat. The tiger has a bonsai type tree in a pot resting on its tail. The pot is grey and the tree is a mixture of pinks and purples with little blobs of blue floating around, representing souls fluttering about. The background is a wavy pattern of various purples with a hint of gold.

... getting a cure- with everything I have there is no cure, just management. I'm complex, I get it, but every doctor so far has put me down to "outside of their speciality" and blame the other specialists. Long Covid was the only team who cared. Sad I know I'm not the only person in this situation.
