A table filled with bloody items which are actually food, such as a brain with an axe in it on the left. On top is a red mouse. Down left is a plate with deviled eggs and beside it is another plate with red pieces and another axe. On the right is a cupcake with a mouse and above is a skull with his head open. Above the table is a pumpkin.

One of my goals is to make more digital art.

It took awhile, but I finished this painting a few days ago.

This is Oraya from the Nyaxia books.

I had a lot of fun playing with the backgrounds Clip Studio Paint has to offer.

I want to draw more interesting poses and I felt inspired to draw.

I made it into my character Toeri which I've never drawn without clothes on. They turned out more muscular and I gave them a belly button piercing.

Toeri a black nonbinary person is sitting suggestively with only underwear and some leather bands on.

I painted this for the birthday of my brother.

He is getting into Warhammer. My sister got him this figure and I painted it being held. I used black paper and actually really like how colorful it turns out.

I was in France almost two weeks ago for a cursus.

We stayed in a beautiful castle and I took lots of pictures. I also painted ofcourse.
I painted these two from pictures I made in the forest outside the castle.

A misty landscape with a lot of green colors. To the right a big tree with a branch across the picture. Under the branch is a cabin visible. To the left two trees with leaves wrapped around and on the foreground a few logs with moss on them. A landscape with trees who dissapear in the mist. In the foreground a cart with mossy logs and on the ground brown leaves.

This is my first post of Bluesky. I am very curious to start using it.

Here is the latest picture of my DnD half orc Ima. She is a bard and just got a cool monocle and a new eye.
A painted half orc with a monocle. One eye is blue and the other is red. The half orc is female with a low ponytail held together by a yellow band. She has an earing and a helix piercing in her ear. She has an eyebrow and bridge piercings. By her neck is just the tip of a scar visible.
