The most festive dragon for day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar! This dragon got into the decorations, and clearly has no regrets.

Entirely handmade with polymer clay. 🧶

Dec 9! (missed a few days whoops)
Marker on Bristol paper from 2024!
I think I've actually neglected to post this one anywhere despite the fact that I really liked how it turned out.

For the #ArtAdventCalendar – a grouchy great horned owl trying to simultaneously sleep and soak sun. I quickly left it be. #birds

My expertise and art is astro/planetary related, but I am a huge bird nerd too! I occasionally paint them, like this little Costa’s hummingbird in my yard. My business name was also inspired by a bird—Cyanocitta stelleri, the Steller’s Jay. #ArtAdventCalendar

Spectrum of Stardust was my first nebula in oils. I started it in January 2023 right after I made the bold, slightly unhinged decision to leave academia & become a full-time space artist.

We've had somewhere around 1200 images posted for #ArtAdventCalendar in the first 3 days and I would guess that less than 50 have been posted without AltText.

Platform wide, AltText use is about 20% (apparently)

For AAC...about 96%

Over 450 artists leading the way. Fantastic job everyone.

Ol' Salty, Pirate Saltasaurus. A bit of silliness which became a personal favourite.

Dec 3rd!
This was a watercolor painting I did of my GuildWars 2 elementalist back in 2020 and it's still one of my favorite pieces because of how nice the colors came out.

I'm drawing every day but mostly for projects that are in progress so I'll probably use this year's #ArtAdventCalendar event to look back at my favorite drawings I did this year, starting with this one! I had the idea of the outline of a white cat against a garden and it slowly evolved into this.
