Hi there!
My name is Maider and I'm an illustrator from Spain. My main focus is character art, color and Ancient History. I used to work digitally but I'm fully embracing the traditional art experience now.

I still entertain myself with digital painting sometimes, although I don't feel as confident anymore. Anyway, here's my latest digital something.

Digital illustration of a sci-fi queen character, with a lot of bluish tones.

One of my old digital artworks. This one served as my profile pic for such a long time too. I remember I called it 'Thirst', imagining a desert creature desperately searching for water. That's always been kind of a theme for me. Anyway, hi!💜 #art #digitalart

I genuinely believe that toxic behaviors are contagious, and it takes some unlearning. But wholesome and kind behaviors are contagious, too.

Estamos dejando que Trump nos lleve a un escenario internacional sin reglas, sin derechos humanos, donde reine la impunidad total y donde él y el fascismo sean quienes nos gobiernen.
Se lo hemos dejado hacer en Gaza, en Oriente próximo, en Venezuela…

¿Dónde está Europa y la UE?

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Fuck this
No one wants war. No one.
Not the one in Palestine, Ukraine, Venezuela, or the other 100+ armed conflicts in the world
There is no democratic mandate for massmurder

Sanction weapons manufacturers, dump their stocks, arrest politicians

Show some fucking sense of justice and human decency

Estados Unidos ha invadido muchos países a lo largo de su historia, pero ninguna invasión más sincera que esta. Se agradece.

Pen drawing of a humanoid figure made of black void, covered in symbols whose body flows into root-like structures and radiates light blue and purple energy upward set against a massive stone wall embedded with winged statues and carved archways. Sitting atop the wall are three feminine presenting celestial beings with black void for faces with two of them huddled around the third who is taller than the other two and has three bright star like points of light for a face instead of the single one in the other two. Around them are an assortment of domed organic shaped structures that tower up in the distance while a strangely textured moon hangs in a sky that shimmers with a blue and purple aurora like pattern with white lights and streaks embedded within it.

Pen drawing of a long, black haired feminine figure with four arms per side that get smaller as they go down their back. Small shell and gem like objects in their hair while their face a smooth, bone or polished stone looking surface with a small oval where the main features would be. Their primary left arm is outstretched towards a floating book with a highly textured surface of bone and flesh looking shapes with odd growths that flows up the right side of the page and behind their head. These same style of growths surround them at shin height with shapes renunciant of devices embedded in it along with crystals. A smaller left arm is grasping a large orb held up by one of these organic columns while in the distance a cliff rises up with figures standing near a sculpted standing stone while a large gas giant looking planet hangs in the sky of the upper right of the page.

Pen drawing of a ghostly upper torso, neck, head and shoulders of a bald human emerging from a mass of organic shapes that suggest organs, musculature, veins and other structures. Facing left it is looking with solid white eyes and a third eye towards an area of alien writing and shapes in white on a black background next to what appears to the left half of a viewer facing grey style alien being in an embryonic pose in a container and hooked up to wires and is propped up by the same structure of the background

Pen drawing with the main element being a serpentine figure with vaguely feminine human features and a spiral shell like structure on the head, leaning from the right with large black eyes and a body covered with various bony growths like armor down it's back, kneeling on an uneven stone floor. One arm with a couple of large claws is slightly pointed at another figure is visible just below a large obsidian stylized skull pendant. The other figure is standing, holding a flowing robe at the waist, but has a smooth stone face but is otherwise human. In the background, lounging on the ground or on a pillar amount he strange organic shapes while in the background are stone structures that appear to be a temple like complex with a large circular structure that looks to be plugged into the large stylized skulls below it.

The frame arrived. All museum grade materials and UV filtering glass. Because it is a unique piece of art made by a real person. If you want to own a real work of art too you can do as I did and comission someone. E. G. @maiderbee.bsky.social who made this one.
