I loved “Predator: Badlands” so much that I decided to do some fan art!
Thia who is tied to Dek’s back gives a jaunty thumbs up, while Bud holds Thia’s other hand and gazes up at Dek, lovingly. Dek grips his plasma sword while studiously ignoring them.

If anyone’s curious, this was the original drawing from 2022.
2022 version of the alien city drawing which has more skyscrapers and clouds, moons in a different spots and in different colors, and a less defined horizon line with weirdly symmetrical mountains on either side of the valley.

I revisited this piece I drew in 2022 because I was no longer happy with the composition. I think it’s a lot less cluttered and flows better now!

#pixelart
Sunset over an alien city, with 3 moons visible in the sky. Hazy orange and red clouds fill the horizon, while an eerie purple fog settles into the valley. Two monolithic skyscrapers are nestled between the distant hills, while smaller clusters of city buildings and lights populate the darkened foreground.

I created my very first enamel earrings via yourstuffmade.com and I’m wild about them! They’re gold plated metal studs and each earring is 3/4” big. Backing card is 2” square for reference.
Enamel stud earrings of two cartoony ghosts, one smiling and giving a friendly waving while the other frowns with an arm raised uncertainly. They are mounted on a yellow-orange backing card that says “Bree Manahan Art,” “Ghost Earrings,” and “SpoOkY.” The ghost earrings on top of some green succulents and brown leaves. A box filled with ghost earrings, awaiting their new haunts. It me, wearing the ghost earrings.

If you aren’t familiar with blob drawing exercises, here are some blob drawings I did in 2018 & 2020. You look for characters or objects in the shapes and draw over them. #BAMblobs

Blobs 7-28-3035.
Nothing makes me feel more creative than doing blob drawings! I’ll try to post new blobs weekly to doodle on. If you want to follow along, use #BAMblobs so I can see yours!
Random colored shapes. Take the image and drop them in a drawing program, lower the opacity, then make a new layer and draw whatever you see in the shapes on top.

Why not, it’s #WorldSnakeDay for Lamia as well.
A creature from Greek mythology called Lamia, with the torso of a human woman while the lower half of her body has been transformed into a red snake. She is propping herself up on her arms while glaring hatefully over her shoulder.

Been getting back deep into Stardew Valley again (mods are amazing). Here are my first four “bachelor” sketches.
#stardewvalley
Digital pencil sketch of Alex, a sporty young man sitting on the ground with a football by him and his dog Dusty on his lap. Digital pencil sketch of Elliott, a fancy man with an ascot and coat tails, with hair and a face like Fabio, holding a book in front of him and looking directly at the viewer. Digital pencil sketch of Harvey, a middle aged man with glasses and a mustache holding a doctor’s bag with a suit jacket draped over his arm and a coffee mug in the other hand. Digital pencil sketch of Sam, a young man wearing a band t-shirt and doing a skateboard trick
