Ink portrait of a witch holding a black cat. She has long orange nails.

Ink drawing of a creepy looking doll with a tear falling from its eye. The tear is colored orange which kinda makes it look like blood.

Ink drawing of a fairy kneeling down to hold and inspect an acorn. There are fallen leaves around it.

plum blossom bowl, 2025

Short round ceramic bowl against a white background. It is wider than it is tall. On the outside there are shuǐ-mò or sumi-e styled black plum branches with red flowers painted on with underglaze, against the speckled tan clay body. The inside has grayish glaze on top dripping into maroon in the middle.

It's that time again everyone! Blacktober! I along with @goldgauntlet.bsky.social created not one, but 2 Blacktober prompt lists, as well as a safety guide for Black artists next month!

#Blacktober #Blacksky #artsky #DrawingWhileBlack #fanart #art #shoujo #demonslayer

Part one of a graphic explaining an art event called Blacktober. It reads, "Blacktober is a month-long event that takes place during October, centering Black & Mixed Black creatives. Following a prompt list, Black creatives can post Black reimaginings of their favorite fictional characters, their OCs, writing, cosplays, and much more. There was a second part to this event that was largely overlooked - A collaboration between Black and Non-black creatives where anyone can draw Black OCs made by Black artists. Black creatives who want to see any of their characters drawn by others can post their OCs while using the hashtag blackocshere."

Part two of a graphic explaining an art event called Blacktober. It reads, "If you're Non-black and want to help out, you can repost/share content from the blacktober tag, or you can choose a character from the blackocshere tag and draw them for OC-tober (Please credit the creator of the character by providing at least one of their handles in your post). Participating in Blacktober is completely optional. If you choose to, please take any necessary safety precautions to protect your peace, such as limiting your interaction settings and turning off comments and/or DMs." At the bottom, the text reads, "This year's Blacktober was organized by Mel(@goldgauntlet) and Pluto(@sailorplutoirl), who are not affiliated with the original organizers.

strawberry cup.....

Rounded cup/bowl, about as wide as it is tall, and slightly tapered so that it is narrower at the rim than the bottom. The main part is underglazed bright red with white dots for seeds. The foot is shaped like five rounded sepals (two are visible here) and has chartreuse underglaze. It is placed on a setup with blue gingham fabric, fake light pink roses, and toast with jam. There is matcha with soymilk in the strawberry cup

Got a bullet journal on sale and you KNOW I'm using that as a sketchbook! 😏🙏

In a bullet journal with dots lining the pages, there is a box drawn with 2 fish above it facing different direction. In the box is a cat with a bandana on their neck, and in the background there is many swirls that form flowers. A pen is laid next to the drawing.

ceramic self-portrait (the claychel™)

front-facing view of a squat round bowl sculpted and underglazed to look like a simplified cartoon face. There is black hair sculpted on, black underglazed dot eyes, dot note, and smile, and red underglazed cheeks. The skin tone uses the color of the tan speckled clay. This is all set up on a pink gingham backdrop with star-shaped beaded scattered around.

Three-quarter view from a higher angle, showing the inside of the bowl which is black with multicolored polka dots. It is filled with gummy worms

Another three-quarter view but with the bowl facing left instead of right, and at a higher angle before so we can see the gummy worms
