Guys everyone should read @niconicorose 's book Magica Riot it's really fun eg I don't think I know a single person who wouldn't love a queer musical magical girl story written by a Love Live fan. It's like if Symphogear took place in Portland, Oregon (and was somehow MORE gay). First cosplay of the year! Put together Claire Ryland's outfit from the cover because it's so cool.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.

The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.
Coyote in the snow.

apologies for the repost on this, there was an error that was bugging me that i wanted to fix ^v^; A drawing of my original character Sidca crouched atop a small utility pole looking down at the camera. a cat similarly is sat upon his back looking to the camera below. the sky is shades of morning purples, a cluster of trees also sits near the bottom of the image with their leaves in an autumnal shade.

I feel just a little shameless doing this but I saw other people doing it and I gotta learn to promote myself.

Hi, I'm Mika and it's my birthday today! If I could have one wish it'd be for you to share my art. No pressure though I already had a banger day. Appreciate you all ❤️
A digital drawing done in a painterly style of two characters in a forest. Both appear to be young demons with horns. One is stepping out of the light towards the second one, who is standing in the dark. A digital painting of two characters in front of a fire place. The view is top down and shows some birds looking down on them and sitting next to them eating. One character with dark hair and horns is taking a bowl of soup from another character that has braided red hair and a blue dress. The scene seems rather rustic. A digital painting of a character with feathers attached to their arms to look like bird wings. They're wearing a skintight black body suit with bones attached to them, a bird skull on their head and have a long black braid. The character is standing on a tree branch and reaching up to the sky, nothing but the clouds and ravens around them and the sun right behind their head. A digital painting of the Genshin Impact character Tighnari. He is sitting in a forest against a tree taking notes. The scene shows a lot of the wildlife like a bird, some boar like animals and a cat like animal on top of the leaning trunk of the tree. There are mushrooms growing everywhere.

Heralds of the sun

#griffin #gryphon #fantasy #myth #mythology #mythical #creature #creaturedesign
A square, mirrored illustration of two griffins sitting opposite each other, their forepaws touching and wings tucked in. Their back legs are blue, scaled and clawed like a bird’s. Their tails are long, catlike and feathered with a tuft of white fur on the end. Surrounding them are decorative black chains and golden leaves on twisting vines to complement their forms. In the middle hangs a symmetrical branch of golden leaves pouting upwards. Above their paws, hovering between their heads, is a small golden sun with long stylised rays. The overall colour scheme is brown, yellow, cream and blue.

[ #cuteart #illustration ]
A small drawing of a round black cat wearing a red & green Christmas sweater and a tiny red & green elf hat. They have big swirly red cheeks and a tiny tongue sticking out. Their face is smiling but naughty. Above them it says “crimmus”

Happy Holidays, everyone! 🎄
I didn't have time to paint a new winter themed art, so here is the one from last year.
A peaceful winter scene in a small village. In the sky a deer that looks like night divides the illustration in two parts - one is sunset, and the other behind the deer is night. A thin crescent moon is located between deer's antlers.

Happy Solstice ❄️
A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.
