I reeeeeeally need to use this app more, but here's the finished colours to this piece. It's all coloured digitally over traditional inks and pencils.

I'm not sure if this counts as whimsy goth, but it's definitely fantasy.

#Art #DigitalColours #Wyvern #Fantasy
A digitally coloured picture of a goth woman sat on a park bench, extending her hand up to a red wyvern that is flying above her. There are 3 gothic-looking skyscrapers poking above trees in the background.

I think that things are going well on this one! Just gotta add the colours now.

Here's the pencils for my latest piece! She's an original character for the small fantasy world that I'm slowly building up.

#Artsky #Pencils #Fantasy
A pencil drawing of a woman in a leather jacket sat on a gothic-styled park bench. She is holding her left hand up towards a wyvern that is flying just above her. In the background behind them, there are a number of trees and bushes, and a few tall buildings poking out above the trees.

Here's this week's Work-In-Progress Wednesday post! Most of the basics are done, so I just need to add a few background details and then fill in the solid black areas.

I was gonna post a video for Work-In-Progress Wednesday this week, but Bluesky doesn't seem to be a fan if it, so here's a screenshot from it instead!

I've finished the colours on this one! I'm really really pleased with how this has turned out, and I think it's a good addition to the small fantasy world that I'm building up.

#Artsky #Artist #DigitalColours
A digitally coloured drawing of an artist at a drawing desk in an otherwise sparsely furnished room. He is currently sweeping a number of pieces of paper off the drawing desk, and on the papers a combination of arcane symbols and writings can be seen. On the floor a number of similar pieces of paper can be seen with more arcane symbols on them, and even more have been nailed to the wall. Across the ones on the wall, a stylised eye can be seen emerging from the writings. In the higher part of the wall there is a window, through which some gothic-styled buildings can be seen.

Here's the inks for my latest piece! All the pages took a while, but I think the effort was worth it.
A black and white picture of an artist sat at a desk in a sparsely-furnished room. He's in the middle of sweeping a number of pages off the desk, and they are still floating in the air. On the floor and on the wall, there are dozens of similar pages, all covered in arcane and mystical symbols. There is a single window on the wall, and through that a variety of gothic skyscrapers cam be seen.

Following on from the pencils earlier, here's how a section of the picture is looking for Work-In-Progress Wednesday!

A close up picture of a drawing of a hand. In the background, there are a number of pieces of paper covered in arcane symbols and writing pinned to the wall.

Here's are the pencils for my latest piece! It's maybe a tad autobiographical, though it was still fun working on all the mystical marks on the grimoire pages.

#Pencils #WIP #Artsky #ArtistsOnBluesky
A pencil drawing of an artist in a room with a stool for him to sit and a drawing desk to work at, and no other furniture in the room. He is throwing pieces of paper off the desk, and on the pieces of paper there are sketches of mystical creatures and arcane symbols. On the floor surrounding the artist, there are many similar pages, as well as a number of them pinned to the wall. On the pages on the wall, amongst the various symbols, an eye design is woven amongst the drawings. Above the papers attached to the wall is a window, out of which a few gothic skyscrapers can be seen.

It's time for Work-In-Progress Wednesday! Featuring the return of this hand!

#Artsky #WIP #DigitalColours
A zoomed in drawing of a hand holding a traditional fountain pen. Behind the hand is a wall with a number of pages that have been nailed to it. The pages are covered in a variety of mystical and arcane symbols and runes.

Time for another Work-In-Progress Wednesday post! Check out this hand!

A zoomed-in screen shot of Clip Studio Paint, with a partially coloured picture of a hand in the centre. The hand is holding a dip-style fountain pen, and around the hand there are black and white pieces of paper with arcane drawings and symbols on them.

Here's the inks on this one, and I think they work really well! If you saw my Work-In-Progress Wednesday post yesterday, you've seen some of the colours on this, and I think they work well too.

#Artsky #Inks #Medium #OriginalCharacter
A black and white inked picture of an original character of mine. The character is a man dressed in a detailed waistcoat and overcoat, sat at a table with a crystal ball in the centre. There are trails of smoke leading towards the crystal ball, and smoke filling the background of the room. Hovering above the man is a trio of disembodied eyes, originating from the psychic plane.

I'm still working on this one for Work-In-Progress Wednesday! I've finished the shadows here, and just need to do the highlights to finish this one up.

It occurred to me that I hadn't posted the pencils of this piece before the work-in-progress look at the colours on this, so here they are! I don't know this guy's full story yet, but I know that he's a medium that strives against the malevolent forces from the psychic planes.

#Artsky #Pencils
A sketch of an original character that is all drawn in blue pencil. The main character is a man in a wheelchair sat at a large round table that has a crystal ball in the centre. The man's right hand is hovering just over the crystal ball while smoke envelopes the table. In the darkness of the background, three sets of large, angry eyes are just barely visible.

I really struggle with the self-promotion side of being an artist online, I don't know why, but it never seems to work for me. So uh, here's some recent work, I Hooe someone likes it!

I've finished up the colours on Daredevil! I feel like I maybe should have pushed the throwing arm a bit further to make it more dynamic, but let me know what you think!

#Artsky #Daredevil #Marvel
A piece of fully-coloured fan art of Daredevil. He is in a pose of leaping through the air while throwing his Billy Club towards the viewer. The majority of the piece is done in shades of red, with the background being a maroon colour, and Daredevil's suit being a bright crimson, with a yellow-ish highlight on one side of him.
