Recent sketch of my girl Cassie! Always nice to draw an OC again after not doing so for a while ^^

#digitalart #artshare #gravityfallsOC
A digital portrait of my OC Cassie, done in shades of grey and pink. Cassie has light, freckled skin, curly hair tied back into a ponytail, and several piercings in her face and ear. She is looking towards the viewer and smiling

Yesterday's events got me thinking about my DS9 OC Mac, who I definitely need to draw more of. He's a pretty chill guy for the most part, unless you mess with his pet Cardassian vole Crumbs. Then he goes full John Wick 😂

#digitalart #startrekoc #startrekfanart
A digital drawing of my character Mac, a Human/Bolian hybrid. He has lavender skin and black hair, large stripes on his brow and forehead, and a ridge running down the center of his face and neck. Mac is wearing a green and black janitorial jumpsuit with a comm badge on one breast pocket. He is smiling and looking towards the viewer with one hand on his hip, holding a keyring, and the other holding a large dust mop. There are some notes off to the side that read; Makk'ar "Mac" Farris. Human/Bolian hybrid. 35ish, 5'8'', he/him. Stocky, strong, fears nothing after 15 years of working sanitation and retail. Janitor aboard Deep Space Nine

Been feeling the Gravity Falls brainrot begin to set in again, so I figured I'd do a screenshot redraw of Stan to shake some of the rust off. It's been way too long since I drew this old man 💙

#digitalart #artshare #gravityfalls #stanpines #fanart
A digital sketch of Stan Pines from Gravity Falls. He is wearing a suit with the jacket open and bowtie undone, revealing a gold medallion and a hint of chest hair underneath. He's holding a can of soda in his right hand and pointing towards something off-screen that he is also talking to, as though he just told someone to stop slacking and get back to work

Been playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2 lately and decided to draw my favorite horse for Arthur; a raven black shire by the name of Hercules. He may not be the fastest horse in the game but I love this boy with all my heart 💙

A digital portrait of the raven black shire horse from Red Dead Redemption 2 against an off-white background. He has a black coat and mane with a large white blaze in the middle of his face and a western style bridle is fit over his head, with reins leading back over his shoulder

And wrapping things up with the old art, some landscape studies I did last year that I really enjoyed! Most of these were timed and done in an hour/75 minutes and for someone who has trouble with backgrounds I think they turned out really well! #artshare #digitalart #landscapepainting
A digital painting of Los Angeles at nighttime. There is a dark hill in the foreground and many, many multicolored lights in the background representing the city. Above it all is a dark night's sky with some stars visible near the top A digital painting of a road winding through some hilly terrain. It is slightly foggy and there are large rock formations lining the roadside A digital painting of the Hong Kong city skyline. The skyscrapers glow with yellow and blue lights, which is making the fog above them turn similar colors. It is nighttime but everything is bright and well-lit from the lights A digital painting of some cliffs near the ocean. The water is blue-green and there are large rock formations sticking up on both sides of the image, with smaller formations in the background. A silhouette of a large seabird can be seen in the distance

And now that my blorbos have been properly introduced, here are some paintings of them from 2023 that I consider some of my personal best! Also it turns out putting your own OCs into famous JC Leyendecker paintings is a great way to trick yourself into doing studies 😂 #artshare #digitalart
A digital painting of Bazuth, a tall and slender dragon man. He has bright blue scales and is wearing a purple vest and white pants. He has a sword in his left hand that's glowing with magical energy, and in his right he is conjuring a purple ball of magic energy A digital painting of my character Bazuth based off of JC Leyendecker's painting "Man with a Lyre". Bazuth is a slender dragon-man with bright blue scales and a cream underbelly. He is nude but covered partially by a blanket and is partially lying down. A very simple lyre is resting on his hip, and he is holding the top of it with his left hand A digital painting of my characters Llorra and Marty based off of the painting "Golf or Tennis" by JC Leyendecker. Llorra is an elf woman with dark purple skin and long black hair tied into a braid. She is wearing a tan shirt with brown pants and suspenders with a bright pink neck tie. She has one hand in her pocket and she is smiling. Next to her is Marty, a human man with dark brown skin and short, dark hair. He is wearing a green vest and matching flat cap, and is holding a black duffel bag over his shoulder. He is looking at Llorra with his mouth open like they're mid-conversation A digital painting of my characters Llorra and Marty based off of an Arrow Shirt Collars ad by JC Leyendecker. Llorra is an elf woman with dark purple skin and long black hair tied into a fancy bun. She is wearing a form-fitting pink dress that flares out into a dramatic skirt. She is dancing with Marty, who is behind her. Marty is a human man with dark brown skin and short dark hair tied into formal braids. He is wearing a red tuxedo with a large bowtie. Llorra is leaning her head onto his shoulder and Marty is pressing his cheek against her head. They both look very happy and in the moment

Solo post of a lineup from 2022 I did for my blorbos from my still-unnamed fantasy steampunk detective type story I've been working on. They're all a bunch of fun to draw, though the fancy dragon Bazuth tends to be my favorite to doodle #artshare #digitalart #characterlineup
A digital drawing showing a lineup of six characters in front of a height chart. From left to right there is Llorra, an elf with dark purple skin in tattered tan clothing. Marty, a human with dark brown skin in a slightly-less-tattered green vest. Bazuth, a very tall dragon man with bright blue scales in a very fancy purple and cream suit. Claudia, a short faun with tan fur and shaggy brown hair in a nicely kept blue vest. Wilk, a half-orc with light green skin and long dark hair wearing a tattered brown vest and shorts. And Fizzik, a very short goblin with mottled dark green skin and long black hair in a tattered blue shirt, vest, and shorts. There is text above each character that reads; "Llorra Illieth. Elf, 31 years old, 5'11'' tall, private investigator and part-time barkeep", "Martyn MacBayne. Human, 28 years old, 5'5'' tall, private investigator and part-time barkeep.", "Bazuth Bartok. Dragonkin, 495 years old, 7'1'' tall, entrepreneur, collector, sorcerer", "Claudia Rhenn, Mountain Faun, 24 years old, 5'0'' tall, personal assistant, archivist, tinkerer", "Wilkynn Quicksilver. Orc/goblin halfling, 25 years old, 6'11'' tall, tavernkeep, bouncer, bodyguard", "Fizzik Quicksilver. Goblin, 31 years old, 3'6'' tall, Tavernkeep, gambler, information broker"

2022 was a pretty good year for me art-wise! I had a solid 2-3 months at the start of the year sketching tons more of Cassie and Stan, though most of those will have to wait for me to set up an NSFW blog to share 😈 #artshare #digitalart
A digital painting of Stan Pines from Gravity Falls dancing with my character Cassie. Stan has light skin and short silver hair and is wearing a red dress shirt and white pants. Cassie has light, freckled skin and long curly brown hair with the ends dyed pink. She is wearing a sparkly dress that fades from red near the top to white near the bottom. Stan has Cassie in a dipping motion as they dance, and is smiling wide at Cassie, who is looking up at him with a surprised expression. They are both blushing. In the background there are silhouettes of people watching the dance and a string of christmas-type lights near the top of the image A digital drawing of two of my characters, Tilly and Cassie. Tilly has light skin and dyed red hair. She is wearing a Nirvana band t-shirt, green cargo pants, boots, and a yellow flannel shirt tied around her waist. Cassie has light, freckled skin and short, straight brown hair. She is wearing a pink striped tanktop, patched jeans, and pink converse shoes with a brown messenger bag slung over her shoulder. Both women are standing against a patterned background that goes from brown at the top to yellow near the bottom A digital painting of Mugman from The Cuphead Show. He has a coffee mug for a head with a blue-striped straw sticking out of the top and a large oval-shaped blue nose. He is wearing a black shirt, blue shorts, brown shoes, and yellow gloves. He is standing inside a cave with one hand on his hip and the other hand extended, with an expression on his face that says "I'm so done with this shit"

Last batch of my favorites from 2021, including the alien cat from my user icon, and a scene featuring some blorbos of mine from a project I'm slowly working on (one of many, of course 😅) #artshare #digitalart
A digital painting of a beach house with a large deck. It is nighttime and the stars are visible with mountains and the ocean in the background. Everything is shades of blue, purple, or pink and looks like it's bathed in ultraviolet light Four digital sketches of an alien-like cat named Chrome. They are slender-bodied with long limbs and a long tail that ends in a fork. The cat's body is dark blue-black with markings that look like a starfield, and other parts of their body are a bright, light blue. The cat has antennae, curled ears, and three eyes. There is some text in the image that reads "Chrome, Void Cat. Hails from the deep reaches of space. Not much is known about them or their species. Coat is and ever-changing mass of fluid matter and reflects the stars around them. Can alter the shape of their body at will. The laws of time, space, and physics mean nothing to this creature. The universe is their infinite playground" A digital painting of three characters playing darts in a bar. One of them is a faun, with deer-like facial features and horns on her head. Behind her is an elf with dark purple skin and a man with black skin. The elf is smiling but looks nervous, and the man is smiling happily. The faun is saying "Oh! That's another bullseye! I forgot how good I was at this!" Behind her the elf says "Atta girl, Claudia!" and the man says "Nicely done, love!" then in a whisper the elf adds "Shit, she's loads better at this than I thought she'd be! I'm gonna lose so much bloody money on her..." to which the man replies "I told you not to try to hustle her!"

He is playing his guitar and looking very lost in the moment A digital painting of Sam Kiszka from the rock band Greta Van Fleet. He has light skin and long, dark hair. He is wearing a pink suit with the jacket open and no shirt underneath while he plays a blue bass guitar. There is an amplifier and some stage lights in the background behind him A digital painting of Danny Wagner from the rock band Greta Van Fleet.

Coming out of the thick of lockdown, 2021 became the year I got really into a little band from Michigan called Greta Van Fleet, which resulted in me doing tons of paintings of the band based off of publicity photos, which really helped me sharpen my rendering skills!
A digital painting of Josh Kiszka from the rock band Greta Van Fleet. He has light skin and curly brown hair with gold sun rays painted under his eyes. He is wearing a very shiny golden jumpsuit with a semi-transparent white veil draped over his shoulder A digital painting of Jake and Josh Kiszka from the rock band Greta Van Fleet. They both have light skin and brown hair, but Jake's is long and straight and Josh's is short and curly. Jake is wearing a red suit with rhinestone details and smiling. Josh is wearing a pink jumpsuit with rhinestone details and holding a fire extinguisher while looking mischievous. They are both standing in front of an impressionist painting A digital painting of Sam Kiszka from the rock band Greta Van Fleet. The image is rendered in black and white. Sam has light skin and long dark hair, and is standing in front of a barn with a bottle of beer in his right hand. He is wearing a fancy button-up shirt with a bolo tie.

A couple more good ones from 2020. I feel like this was the year I really started to get a good grasp on using color in more dynamic and interesting ways #artshare
A digital drawing of Stan Pines from Gravity Falls standing in front of a doorway holding a baseball bat. He has light skin and silver hair and is wearing a black suit over a white shirt. His suit jacket and pants have several tears and rips in them, and there are large splotches of green zombie blood on his collar, jacket, and the end of the bat. Behind him, ethereal blue light pours out of a wooden doorway, and a busted vending machine can be seen on the left. Stan is standing in a very defiant pose and looks visibly angry at some off-screen zombies A digital drawing of a chubby monster girl leaning against a wall in front of the ocean. She has long blue hair tied into a braid over her shoulder, and her skin is purple with yellow markings. There is a crest with yellow horns coming off of her forehead, and she has an extra arm on her left side. She is wearing a green bikini top, a skirt, and sunglasses while drinking a bright green beverage and standing confidently. Her tail is curled around the handle of a fan that says "Queen" and has an image of a crown on it. Behind her is the ocean and the bright blue sky with the sun beaming down.

In 2020 I got through the worst of lockdown by watching Gravity Falls with a friend online, which naturally led to me making an OC named Cassie. And that naturally led to me shipping her with Grunkle Stan something fierce and those two dorks have been comfort characters for me ever since 😂 #artshare
A digital painting of two men and one woman sitting at a counter inside a diner having breakfast together. The man on the left is very tall and muscular, has pale skin, and bushy red hair and a full beard. He's wearing a green beanie, grey shirt with suspenders, and eating pancakes while looking to the right. The man in the center is much smaller and skinnier, has pale skin, and short light brown hair and a mustache. He is wearing a white tank top with a green and white trucker hat and is holding a coffee mug that says World's Cutest Mayor. His eyes are closed and he looks happy as the talks to the woman on the right. She's the same height as the man in the center. Her skin is lightly tanned and covered in freckles. She has long brown hair with pink tips tied into a ponytail, and she's wearing a red flannel shirt over a blue tanktop. In front of her is a plate of bacon and eggs. In the background you can see the log walls of the diner and two windows A digital drawing of a woman standing while flashing the peace sign. She has light, freckled skin and dark hair tied into a ponytail. She is wearing a flannel shirt over a tanktop and shorts, and is holding a cane in her right hand that looks like human leg bones. She's drawn in shades of tan and brown on what looks like a page from Ford Pines' journal in Gravity Falls. Her name, Cassidy St. Claire, is written across the top of the page and several notes from Ford describing her character and appearance are written around her. Other notes from Stan, Dipper, and Mabel are also on the page. The 9 text blurbs around Cassie read; "Goes by Cass or Cassie", "Freelance artist and professional taxidermist (is that even a thing?)", Stan adds "YES IT IS POINDEXTER!", "Permanent bags under her eyes, always looks a little bit tired", "Can't function without at least 2 cups of coffee per day", "Has bizarre taste in... well, everything, but especially walking sticks. Her favorite one resembles human leg bones", "Dry, sardonic sense of humor", "Enjoys watching cheesy soap-operas, especially with Stanley", "Swears so much Stanley and I had to impose a $1-per-swear system for whenever she's around the kids", Dipper writes in a cipher adding "It's the best allowance we've ever had!" and Mabel adds "YEAH!!", "Has a bad knee" is written in an image cipher in the lower left corner A digital painting of Stan Pines from Gravity Falls and my character Cassie sitting on a log in the woods together. It is night time with the moon and stars visible in the background. Cassie is on the left and has light, freckled skin and long brown hair with pink tips hanging off of her shoulder. She is wearing Stan's brown leather jacket for warmth over her own clothes, and has black shoes with long purple socks on. Stan is on the right and has light skin and short, grey hair. He is wearing a gold medallion necklace and a blue t-shirt with white pants and shoes. The two of them are sitting very close together, Stan has his arm around Cassie's shoulder and she is leaning her head onto his shoulder. Their hair and clothes look visibly wet. Cassie holds a stick with two marshmallows on it over a fire burning in front of them. They both look happy to be in the moment with each other A digital drawing of Stan Pines from Gravity Falls and my character Cassie standing close together. Stan has light skin and short silver hair, and is wearing a red and gold Hawaiian shirt over a white tanktop and black shorts, as well as a large gold medallion necklace. He is smiling at Cassie, who is to his left and grabbing a handful of his Hawaiian shirt. Cassie has light freckled skin and dark brown hair with pink ends tied into a ponytail. She's wearing a white shirt with a rainbow-patterned palm tree logo in the center and cutoff shorts, with a purple cane in her left hand. She is smiling and blushing at Stanley, clearly feeling flirty. She asks him "I ever tell you how good you look in Hawaiian shirts?" to which Stan replies "You might've mentioned it once or twice... couldn't hurt to say it again though"

A couple of studies I did at the start of 2020 of JC Leyendecker's "The Furnace Fire" and John White's "An Idle Moment". The Leyendecker study remains one of my favorite things I've ever painted, I was really cooking that day! #artshare
A digital painting recreating the painting "The Furnace Fire" by JC Leyendecker. In the foreground, smoke surrounds a man in a red shirt holding a furnace poker while a man in a white shirt shields his eyes with his arm. In the background a large machine hook and warehouse windows can be seen, as well as a third man swinging a sledgehammer, and a fourth man's head and shoulders to his right. The men in the foreground of the image are bathed in a yellow glow that gets less intense in the background A digital recreation of the painting An Idle Moment by John White. A woman with white skin and red hair is leaning forward with her right elbow on a table, her chin resting in her hand. She is wearing a red long-sleeve shirt up to her elbow and there is a small glass bowl in front of her with two small orange fish inside. The background is a red-brown wall with a yellow painting hanging in the upper right corner

Gonna get settled in over here by kicking off a little thread of all of my favorite art I've done over the last few years! Starting with the oldest, this batch is from between 2018 and 2019 #artshare
A digitally drawn image of a lighthouse on top of a dark green hill that almost fades into the background of green-grey fog and falling snow. There is a small path winding from the bottom right corner towards the lighthouse in the middle of the picture A digital painting of the view from the passenger's seat of a car driving down the road while it's raining. There are raindrops running down the windshield, and three cars approaching in the other lane on the left side of the 2-way road. Roughly drawn trees and shrubs flank each side of the road. The painting is mostly shades of darker blue with some yellow coming from the cars' headlights A digital painting of a grassy cliff overlooking a foggy cove with a large rock formation in the center-left. The water and rocks are shades of purple and pink, and there is an extremely faint silhouette of a sea monster in the center-right of the image. A digital painting recreating a screenshot of the character Max Klinger from the 70's TV show MASH. A light skinned man with dark brown hair and eyes stands in the center of the image, wearing a 1950s style white nurse's uniform and a cloak over his shoulders that is red on the left side and blue on the right. In the background is a beige tent, a green bush to the left, and two soldiers in green uniforms walking around on the right
