Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.
Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.
A little raeda to tide you through the hiatus.
Image Id: Eda in harpy form bridal carries Raine Whispers in the sky. Eda’s wings are spread out behind her. Raine and Eda are kissing. Raine holds Eda’s face with one hand and the other rests in their lap. Behind them is a sunset that goes from purple to pink to orange to gold. The purple is studded with lavender stars. Yellow, purple, and peach clouds fill the sky behind them.
Oh worm?
I just love velvet worms; they're such delightful little web-slingers.
My boyfriend requested some sea slug sketches; they turned out so good I thought I’d share them with y’all. Behold the magnificent, blushing sea bunnies.
Image Id: A small, oval, white sea slug with brown spikes and two feathery brown antennae. He is outlined in silver on top and dark gray on bottom. There are small blush marks on his cheeks. The top background is a simple blue, the bottom background is a purple to blue gradient.
Older piece (October 2020) but I still like it.
I always seem to come back to stand still stay silent. Lalli’s my fave, so I made a lil art piece.
Image Id: Full body of Lalli from stand still stay silent in his uniform from adventure 1. He’s holding a small knife in front of his face with his right hand. His left is down by his side, glowing with red mage magic. 3 trees and a purple, twilight sky are behind him. At his feet the snow is trampled. Around his is a ring of blood splatters.
A little watercolor of my oc, Damselfly (pronouns it/its for now). They're a slug that builds its own armor from toxic metal gases like volcano snails. Did I think about the biology of this too much? Yes
For all your eye-of-newt needs! Cruelty-free!
A deep sea friend: the blob sculpin. These are also known as "blobfish," which won the price for world's ugliest animal a few years back. Why doesn't it look like the blobfish you've seen on the internet? With bulbous noses and frowning lips and pink flesh? Those blobfish were dead and photographed after removing them from their seabed homes (1,600 to 9,200 ft deep) in the pacific. Reeling them up causes their bodies to rapidly expand because of the pressure change, which causes them to become pink and bloated. This blob sculpin rests peacefully on the ocean floor, staring up at the light of a submarine that illuminates it. Soon, it will swim off into the dark, hunting small crustaceans.
A wish for you all to be as clever and quick as corvids in the coming days. Flock Together, Fight together.
