Painted tonight instead of sketching and actually pretty pleased. This went from being “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen and made in my entire life” to “oh, oh, this turned out pretty good!” 😂 I love art.

Abstract floral painting that turned out pretty cool despite starting out hideous.

Y’all seem to really like the new peepaw OC, so here’s more of him~ 👀👾

When in combat, his katana sparks pixel fragments and glitchy effects!

#art #oc #OCsky

A collection of doodles featuring an old man in blue, traditional Japanese wear (kimono). He has white, braided hair that’s tied with pink bands, and his eyes are the same pink color. His concept is that of a “digital samurai” — who wields a katana with magical properties!

In the bottom-left, he is reaching for his katana, ready to pull it out of its sheath. The katana itself has glitchy visual effects.

In the top-left, he is in the middle of slashing, while the katana glows a bright blue with glitchy effects trailing the blade’s after-image.

The top-left features a chibi version of the old man with a neutral facial expression.

The bottom-left is an uncolored sketch of the character slashing a stick figure in half.

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

halloween postcards I've made 🎃

watercolor illustration inspired by early 20th-century halloween postcards. a pumpkin-headed woman and an apple-headed woman in old-fashioned dresses dance beneath a full harvest moon as the sun sets. text at the top reads "Joyous Hallowe'en!"

Got asked by someone at work to help make some cardboard cutouts for a softball tournament deal to hang on the dugout.
Theme was the aliens from Toy Story
