I heard InkTober is a thing? Trying out brushed Windsor & Newton Indian ink mixed with water on watercolour paper. Some white gelly roller as well.

I love the Art Nouveau one! ❤️❤️❤️

Greyscale markers and B&W inks. I'm starting to really like the Posca white pens. The elf lady was done with Copic markers that has a brush tip, allowing layers of shading.

Robin Hobb’s so good! 😢

Shitty photo, but shows the colours better.

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Sep 5

These are gorgeous!

You should be able to give more than one like when there are cats involved. :(

I love them! I also love that the idea of the old art still lives in a way in the new art.

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Sep 5

Sorry, I messed up a sentence there. Some of the colours look much more vivid in real life, like the pink in her eye and shadows. They're basically neon. I think they look washed out when scanned because they're flourescent.

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Sep 5

Some quick faffing around with markers and ink. It's quite satisfying how big they are... almost like between a brush and pen. Some of the colours on the lady didn't look less vivid scanned, I think it's because they are flourescent.

Did a very self indulgent paint job last night for my newest #D&D character.
Meet Scruffles the Wizard. It's going to be very interesting to play a wizard without hands

Exactly. They want you in their ecosystem, paying rent and being dependent.

Backed! A bit of a shame about the estimated shipping date, I never know if I'll be home to receive physical rewards in December so I had to settle for the Digital Box. This seems to always happen to me! 😅

A session working on Rowan, @trottimus.bsky.social's OC. Two faster pieces and one I worked a little longer on. @highrollersdnd.bsky.social Altheya fan-art.
#madewithrebelle

Rowan in the dark, backlit by a window. Panicking, Rowan realises just how afraid he is of being scared.

Rowan finds a shiny friend in the river. We see his amazed face in the reflection of the water.

Rowan sees something that reminds him of a funny piece of shale he saw once and chuckles to himself.

Sometimes
you just feel inspired to draw an NPC that has only appeared in a @highrollersdnd.bsky.social episode for about 3 seconds.
Especially when @sherlockhulmes.bsky.social threatens to kill her.

We would protect her at all costs.

Thank you, Simon! 🙏❤️

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Aug 3

Nevermind, I watched the announcement video... really excited to see Matt play as well!

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Aug 3

Oh gods, that is amazing! Will Matt be a player this season? :O

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Aug 2

I really love these and your traditional media pieces as well. If you don't mind, what software do you use for your digital pieces?.. I'm kind of in flux right now with Painter looking dead.

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Aug 2

These colours are like chocolate for my eyes <3

ZedCactus @zedcactus.bsky.social · Aug 2

These are absolutely gorgeous! Love the colour & shading choices!
