Medieval inspired princesses my beloved 🩷✨️

#art #oc #ocsky #princess #🎨 #mixedmedia

A mixed media graphite and digital drawing of a princess. The artwork is a 3/4 bust portrait, depicting a white princess with shoulder length brown hair clad in an intricate, off the shoulder golden gown. The dress has an empire silhouette and is embroidered. The princess has a placid expression on her face, and her hand are clasped together before her chest.

The graphite sketch of the previous artwork, devoid of any digital coloring and alterations.

A Folksy forest lady 🌿🏵

#art #oc #ocsky #artsky #🎨 #artist #digitalart #mixedmedia #cottagecore #illustration

A mixed media (graphite sketch, digital colouring) portrait of a woman. She is standing, staring off to the side. Her skin is tanned, and her orange hair is cut short into a blunt bob. She has a scar across her cheek, a few moles, a hooked nose, and green eyes. Her expression is neutral, perhaps a little annoyed or perplexed. She wears an ornate white blouse with large 3/4 sleeves. Leaves and orange flowers are embroidered across the blouse, alongside some orange lace. The blouse is tucked into a long green skirt, similarly embroidered with orange lace and flowers. She wears bracelets and rings on her hands. A golden halo makes up the background of the illustration.

The graphite sketch of the previous illustration.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

Again no new art bc exams are kicking my ass, but here's a current wip :)

#art #oc #ocsky #artsky #originalcharacter #🎨 #artist #digitalart #mixedmedia

A work-in-progress digital illustration inspired by art nouveau and old fairytale illustrations. The artwork depicts an old woman standing in front of a birch forest at sunrise. The colour pallette is comprised of blues, purples and orange. The old lady is wearing an orange capelet/shawl, a magenta skirt, and a straw cone hat loosely inspired by rice farmers. The artwork is unfinished.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

Two people in my social circle were hacked recently.

- Don't click links or download files from someone you don't know.
- Don't ever give out your account information. Website staff will never ask for those credentials.
- If you paid money to have your account released/checked, it was a scam.

under da sea ⚓

An illustration of Marina, a woman with brown skin, and teal ocean arms and legs. She wears a dark turquoise wraparound two piece with oceanic inspired accessories, such as ropes, shells, sand dollars, and fishing hooks.

The environment is underwater, and she is posing on a rock. There are shells, starfish, seaweed, fish, crabs, ferns, plants, coral, all sorts of undersea life dotted about the picture. The tone is a dark blue-ish gray that washes over the picture.
