Welcome, new followers! 👋❤️ I guess I should do a new intro! 😅 I'm Xenia, a nonbinary, ND, disabled, chronically ill artist in Norway (originally from US). I love to draw all fantasy and furry critters, but especially winged ones! 🪽 I'm also an old-school traditional artist learning digital media. 😊
Colored pencil drawing of a mandarin duck and a wood duck posing together in a Japanese garden with a bamboo grove and an oriental wooden bridge. Ink drawing on parchment of a lioness taur asleep on a gnarled tree bough. Ink drawing, digitally colored, of a sleeping fantasy doe with a feathered tail, surrounded by an ivy border that spells out the name "Lockett", and a parchment ribbon banner wrapped around her forelegs. Ink drawing, pencil shaded, of a badger cradling and bottle-feeding an arctic fox cub. The badger is sitting in the grass with his back against a gnarled willow tree, next to a pond filled with water lilies.

I made one more rainbow silver Tree of Life #suncatcher last night - I think this one is my favorite so far

If interested in either of the rainbow silver trees, hit me up here - $60 shipped anywhere in the US. The one in clear beads is spoken for, but I can make similar for the same price. #bsnm
A silver colored tree with 7 long beaded arms ending in clear icicle shaped crystals. Each arm is a stack of different colored beads arranged in a spectrum from purple at the top to red at the bottom, changing in size from 4mm beads on the ends to 8mm beads in the middle of the run. The entire sun catcher measures about 3 inches wide and approximately 12-15 inches long as pictured. It's suspended from a long chain that is off camera.

Happy December! Here's a piece I did for the @hellsculptclub.bsky.social monthly challenge. Topic was "Rauhnacht" - and I'm a sucker for pagan / ghostly traditions 👹
#art #darkart #horror #creatureconcept
In a dark snow-laden forest with bare trees, a figure wearing a red hoodie stands beside a rock and staring at a deer, and behind that deer, a parade of monstrous beasts. The largest is a massive quadrupedal creature with an old human man face, red eyes, long straw-colored hair and two sets of horns. Other creatures peeking out from the trees include a wolf-like being and a scrawny humanoid figure. All creatures are staring at the human.

Stegosaurus Totem 🌱✨

Made a smaller Stego before I attempt a big one because...lord have mercy, them back plates 😭😭😂😂

SOLD

#art #pottery #SciArt
Ceramic sculpture of a Stegosaurus with sgraffito details such as my signature California Poppy motif. The piece was done with black underlgaze, and has the natural coloured clay for it's plates and has gold luster details all over the piece. This is the right side view of the sculpture.

Something’s new in the works! And because it’s a personal project I get to share it with you while I work on it 🙌 This is the cover for Aquarium, Herbarium’s spiritual successor. So if you like rivers, folklore, holy wells, and D&D it might just be for you 🐟

For #ArtAdventCalendar this year I'll probably mostly be reposting past Waymakers donors' thank you gifts! At least until I run out of birds, haha. Waymakers Challenge is a charity supporting @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to help immigrant children in the US.

Today: a Horned Lark! 🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt
A Horned Lark in alternate (breeding) plumage with a bold yellow and black face pattern, and both feather "horns" raised, sits on a wooden board in front of indistinct grasses.

So tired of constantly being sent Aaron Blaise's work because of what I draw. Having to tell these well meaning people that I can't support his art because he's a giant asshole. Then inevitably having to explain why over and over despite not wanting to. Even shitty people can make beautiful art.

A Homotherium stands by the downed body of a Megaloceros, its huge antlers standing out against the drab colored grassland landscape framed by snowy hills in the background.

Going to be real for a min, I haven’t sold a single one of these new charms yet. 😓 Not saying this to get sympathy sales (tho I wouldn’t mind haha) just want to share that even if you see a lot of likes on shop posts, it doesn’t always translate to sales! It’s tough to take a chance on new products!
Photo of a hand holding up a rectangular clear acrylic charm with scalloped edges and a cute pink heart on it. The heart is smiling and sweating and below it says “social anxiety club” in blue hand lettering. It has a gold clasp in the shape of a star.
