a messy but pretty and bright collage of my art MARTYFIVE’S PRICE LIST (you can always dm me and we’ll figure things out) every price below is “a full body drawing of a *character*. if you’d like to get a portrait, the price halves. if there’s another character, the price doubles. animals and creatures — upon discussion. BLACK&WHITE: detailed grayscale sketch (no lineart) — 200€ full render — 300€ COLOUR: detailed sketch (no lineart) — 250€ full render — 350€ BACKGROUND: “a colour square so the picture doesn’t look too empty, please” — 0€ something a little more impressive than that — 50€ “there’s something going on back there but not too detailed” — 150€ “heck it we ball” — 300€ comments from the happy clients (totally legit): (the coolest one out there!!) (I like it like A LOT) (no one ever drew my oc this hot) „HERE'S MY STICK-STICK-CIRCLE SKETCH, PLEASE DO SOMETHING” - void bless you, give me every idea you have! “I'M GONNA RECOMMEND YOU TO EVERYONE I KNOW!” - please do, i have to eat and live and feed the dog!

don’t know where i’m going but i’m determined to find out
part of a bigger greyscale picture (poster?) with some of my OCs from the personal project i’m working on. the main OC visible here is Leonarda, she/her. she’s a menacing looking woman in her 30s with a lot of scars. she has a knife in her hand and she knows how to use it.

COMMISSION for @sinewsandwires.bsky.social! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, you sassy goose 🫵
simple drawing of Sinew’s two precious characters, Volta and Sirio, both in greyscale, with a big red heart in the background. Sirio is reading a heavy book (probably out loud), and Volta is helping to hold it so Sirio’s arms won’t get tired. they’re in love, your honor

‘through ghosts of you, all neon green’
digital portrait of a red-headed woman in a neon-green light, leaning forward towards something/someone before her that we can’t see. she looks mesmerised by the object. she’s reaching out towards it with her left hand but it looks like it touches the invisible screen that separates her from the object and nothing else. some of her red hairs are reaching out forward too, because of the static electricity. like with those old TVs, you know? this portrait is inspired by the song ‘Lord, let that T*sla crash’ by CMAT. “I don't miss you, but then I shouldn't My memories are loaded with what I wanted, but I couldn't have with you That picture's burnt on my TV Now I watch Coronation Street through ghosts of you, all neon green Your ghost is neon green”

sketch-like digital painting made in heavypaint with lasso brush. it depicts the korok forest in mostly brown and yellow colours, highly inspired by how it looks in tloz botw. there are some korok shadows, the glowing pea plants pods decorations, glowing fireflies and a lot of greenery. there’s the master sword on its pedestal in the middle of the picture, also glowing, and link himself standing close to it, like he didn’t expect to stumble upon it.

i noticed today while doing some personal project scribbles in procreate that my whole understanding of lines and shapes has somehow shifted since i’ve started drawing with lasso brush in heavypaint and have stopped doing lineart. in a good way, i might add! but maybe that’s just some flu talk, idk

if you see this, post your bird art!

“marktplatz deity“, april 2023. i still remember someone replying “actually that’s Mother Mary” under this picture. i meant the pigeon, folks.
digital painting of the statue of Mother Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms with stars around them. a grey pigeon is sitting on the baby’s head.

today is my 28th birthday! as we all know, sharing artists’ work makes them very happy.

thank you for all your continuing support and newfound friendships this year, it means the world to me.
one very green painting of my OC, mysterious skeleton girl, posing down on her knee. she has unnaturally long limbs. she’s holding a fossilised ichthyosaur skull sword on her shoulder and is wearing weird clothes that make her skeleton visible like on an x-ray. there’s a spirit of a hare in the background, running around with its eye gleaming red. a digital painting with three characters from kingdom come deliverance games standing one before the other: lady jitka, hans and henry. first comes lady jitka of kunstadt standing with her back to us. she is dressed in a dark reddish dress with white rim that slightly opens her shoulders, and a white waistband. she has black hair and warm skin and looks very delicate. next, standing face to face with her but looking sideways, is hand capon, her almost husband. he’s highest of the three of them, dressed is almost all white, with yellow hues. there’s somewhat lost look on his face. he holds jitka’s right hand in his left one up, but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it willingly. behind him, almost lost to the background and to the figures before him, stands henry. he’s holding his sword in his left hand, wearing a red glove. the blade of the sword stays between hans’ and jitka’s shoulders, not letting them come closer to each other. henry’s face is barely visible behind hans’ shoulder but he’s looking at jitka. not with hate, not with jealousy, more with acceptance and awareness. henry’s holding a wreath full of flowers and a red ribbon in his right hand. hans’ right one, instead of holding jitka’s, has found the wreath without having to look, and his and henry’s finger are touching. jitka knows. she’s looking down, trying to reach them with her fingers, but alas. that heart is already full. there are herbs’ silhouettes in the background. according to the list of plants with symbolism on wiki, here’s their meaning. astragalus for hans (your presence softens my pain), heliotrope for henry (emblem of faithfully devoted love), and rue for jitka (regret, sorrow, repentance, grace, clear vision , disdain). three sketches of my beagle, Bucky. he’s posing, asking for snacks, eyes wide and begging; he is lying curled into a ball, eyes sad like no one loves him (LIES); and he is lying on his side, stretched out, his ear thrown back. digital drawing made in heavypaint. it’s a simple bright and sunny mountain landscape, with white clouds and greenery and flowers. a girl is standing in the grass, turned to us. she has long golden blonde hair, is dressed in a white shirt and red shorts and is holding a hat with a white ribbon on it in her left hand and a yellow flower in her right. she’s smiling, happy and calm, her eyes closed. two birds are flying in the distance. this is a portrait of my friend. i haven’t visited her in a couple years.

my friend Vlad (single) and his cat Tosik
a close up portrait of a tabby cat with impressive whiskers, and her (very small) human lying under her chin like the cat is a giant pillow. the human is typing a message on his phone. he’s a black haired (very handsome) man wearing a red shirt and black cargo pants. the cat’s full name is Antonina.

The Awakening
painting based on the “final” boss fight of the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet vs. Grand Mother Silk. there’s a lot of silk, GMS is very big and bright, and Hornet is very small but brave and her cloak is the only bright spot of the painting.
