🪻Share your OC & a plant you associate with them.

Mushrooms arent plants so instead im going with Belladonna aka Deadly Nightshade.
Vexy here is half Incubus but has none of their power. While belladonna is extremely toxic, its been historically considered an aphrodisiac.

Both art is mine 💜

Im going to a Punk Christmas art market in December, & they are doing photos with Krampus, so I wanted to do a painting for the theme!
So many layers of watercolor wash to get the colors where I want XD
Might do one more pass on bulb glow cause they arent this bright IRL

Photo of a desk with a 6x8 painting in the middle, watercolor palette to left, 2 brushes and paint-dabbed papertowel to the right. The painting has a dark grey watercolor background, and various string lights (gold and red/green) dotted aroun. An upside-down star taped out in blue tape, and the edges of goat ears and horns are slightly visible poking out from the star. There is salt all over the paper and the dark background is still wet in places.

Anybody else flat color like this before doing the local/actual color? This stage always makes me giggle but it's SO helpful later 8n coloring to have everything pieced out.

A screenshot of clip studio paint showing a wide illustration of Lagiacrus (from monster hunter) and a variety of other fish underwater (irl zebra eel, port jackson sharks & queen grouper; monster hunter petricanths & gajau) He is framed by piles of rocks in the lower left and lower right corners, and a towering kelp forest Lagiacrus is colored in a bunch of unnatural/inaccurate colors, which is done to section out different body parts-scales, horns, arms, et cetera

I unexpectedly got video footage of one of my models! I'm hoping to offer leggings soon but debating how much inventory to buy since they aren't as unisex... anyway, enjoy! Shirts available at Hexborne.work

😈 Artists! Quote with long hair! 😈
Digital drawing of a futakuchi-onna, or 2 mouthed woman. She has hot pink eyes and excessively long dark wine colored hair that hangs mostly to one side but some strands are draped over her body. She also has lots of piercings (mostly ear but also a nose chain), long glittery nails, and some jewelry. Many large pointed teeth are visible xoming out of the back of her head, and a ling pink tongue dripping with saliva is snaking out from the middle of the back of her head. She is wearing a black bikini that barely covers her bits, is kneeling in front of sticker-covered laptop with pink lighting, and is looking at you with a disgusted expression.

WIP watercolor and gouache (hard to photograph so have 2 edits. Tried to make it look like it does irl)
Capuchin monkey sugar skull :3 gonna do the background in black, possibly with sparkles, but still debating if I wanna do brush & lineart or thin pen or none...
#watercolor #art #skull
A painting of a Capuchin monkey skull with the mouth open, showing off its large canines. It has sugar skull paint on it and marigold flowers in the eyes. The flowers are unpainted in the middle and some of the sugar skull design details are still just pencil. A painting of a Capuchin monkey skull with the mouth open, showing off its large canines.

I finished my watercolor swatches.
that took WAY LONGER than I realized it would... like 4 separate hours-long sessions.
I was gonna do a gouache grid but I should just start the actual painting ASAP
#art #watercolor #artist #traditionalart
Watercolor paint swatch gradients. Top left has each pigment with 3 columns, left is fully saturated middle adds water right adds even more water (increasing opacity each collumn) Each color is 9 panels mixed from 2 colors, top of 25/75, middle 50/50, bottom 75/25. Left to right is full saturation to more water added (reducing color saturation and increasing opacity) Watercolor paint swatch gradients. Each color is 9 panels mixed from 2 colors, top of 25/75, middle 50/50, bottom 75/25.

BABY POLAR PARROTS AND PROUD PARENTS BOB AND MILDRED! (Bob is the big one)
As you can see, Bob moves between me and the babies when I lean im to take photos. Parrot fish are quite protective of their young!
Photo of my aquarium featuring my 2 polar parrots, male on the left female on the right, amd a couple dozen of their fry. In the foreground a piece of decor is covered in purplish hair/beard algae. Various plants are growing around the tank. Behind the tank is a stone brick wall. Another photo featuring daddy Bob amd a bunch of fry. Here he has moved between me and his children in order to protect them from me.

I went to a drag show on friday night called Bloodfeast, at a bar called The Crypt in Denver. Cool af vibe/decor. This is just the year round decor. Halloween every daaaayyyy
#halloween #denver #bar #crypt
Photo of interior of a bar, upshot of mirror and display on the wall behind the bar. There is a massive display, at least would normally be a bunch of alcohol bottles. But instead is a bunch of skulls painted in neon iv reactive colors. So the right of the skulls is a life size wall sculpture of a grim reaper with a scythe. Other spooky and halloween seemed decor is scattered about.

Here's a couple more, though not part of the "I cant sleep" art series, used an old drawing and some copyright-free stock photos as placeholders.
Digital trading card featuring my own OC Vexy. A small icon of 3 daggers going in different directions is displayed on the lower left of the art window Text reads: Vexy, Incubus Princeling Choose one when declaring your attack. 1: when dealing damage that would kill an opponent's creature, the amount of overkill damage is added as +1/0 counters to this creature (power/def) 2: upon successfully killing an opponent with defense equal to or greature than this card, add a +1/+1 counter to this creature 3/3 Treating card titled Draco, the armored one, featuring a photo of a bearded dragon. Text reads: increase the defense of all units you control by 1. 3/5 Card, featuring a photo of a raccoon, eating fruit out of a large metal bowl. He is called Rascal, the Hungry. At the beginning of your turn, resupply. 4/4

I forced @yoofievt.bsky.social to let me help him with his card game idea so every time I cant sleep I draw a card art XD the layout/border isnt final, but i like the drawings. I also illustrated the ability symbols.
Digital art of a trading card, featuring an illustration, a mint colored egg with brown splotches on it, sitting in a nest of twigs, with a few black feathers. (It is based on a raven egg) It is titled Unusual Egg, and the text reads "Hatches after 2 turns, becoming a three-eyed raven." 0/2 Art of a digital trading card titled Devil Hound. Features a stylized illustration of a black dog with glowing, red eyes, lots of spiked teeth, an oversized red collar with giant spikes, and a long whip, like tail with spikes running down it's length. The dog is standing on a rocky surface, with fog all around it, and a crescent moon in the background. In the rules box, instead of text there are two symbols- one of a shield with three stars on it(guardian ability), and one of a circle of thorns (briar ability) 1/6
