Experiment With A Circular Canvas. Birds Are Still Hard To Draw And Yet So So Satisfying.

A long-haired woman in a dress stands backlit by a yellow moon. She grips the neck of an eastern bluebird in her mouth, and her lips are as red as its blood that trickles out of the corner of her mouth. Her eyes are dark blue and neutral beneath red eyebrows. Her long hair billows out behind her and goes from red at the ends to purple to dark blue. Her dress's chest is bright orange like a blue birds' then shifts to red then purple then dark blue at the waist. The dress's arms are light blue like blue bird feathers at the top and then transition to dark blue. The crescent moon hangs with the dark part down towards her head and stays behind her like a halo. The sky is yellow around her waist, pink near the bottom of her chest, and then finally dark purple. Small lavender stars are scattered across it. Black raspberries are suspended from green vines with mauve thorns that frame the scene. The bottom of the frame is green serrated leaves. Two bluebirds fly on either side of the front of the bird eater.

Experiment with a circular canvas. Birds are still hard to draw and yet so so satisfying.

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.

A queen playing card divided in half by a diagonal black line. that ends just a little above the bottom left corner and just a little to the left of the top right corner. The bottom fourth of the page is a field of snow, and above it is a dark blue sky with scattered white stars. The middle third of the canvas is covered with geometric pine trees textured with darker green lines. Near the right edge on the midline on the painting is a pink crescent moon. The bottom right is dominated by the front half of running gray wolf with a diamond red eye, sharp white teeth, and a lolling red tongue. The top left is dominated by a running woman with short black hair that frames her face and covers her eyes. Her mouth is a straight line. Her back arm and leg are hidden. Her gray skirt hikes above her raised knee. She wears black leggings, a red-brown belt and a black, long sleeved shirt. Her front elbow is bent and her arm is raised. The bicep bears a white triangular pauldron with a red brown strap. Her hand is bared despite the cold. A red hood covers her ears and the cape billows out behind her. It is trimmed with gray wolf fur and bound with a white tooth secured with black strap. In the upper left and bottom right corner, there is a capital Q shaped like a diamond and made of scratches. In the upper right and lower left there is a geometric heart with four red scratch marks through it.

Another day, another red riding hood concept. This time in playing card form. Love the queen card.

A young black woman with a wide stance stands on a purple stage. Her back is to the viewer but she is looking over her shoulder and smiling defiantly. She's playing a dark purple guitar with gold tuning pegs and a black strap, a cord leads out of frame to an amp. Her hair is short and natural, with the strands that frame her face dyed red. She has two gold piercings in her ears. She wears a jean vest with a black sword enveloped in flame stitched on the back, long green pants, and red boots. She's silouetted by a blue spotlight in front of her and it to the side by blue light.

18 and ready to scream. Meet Chel, the lead singer and guitarist of Flame Blade, Kira and Midas's band. She is sooooo fun to draw.

Will dnd turn me into a furry? Mayhaps! Introducing my dnd character Ruka, a tabaxi fathomless warlock/swashbuckler rogue multiclass and an absolute fucking bastard.

Image ID: A cat person based on serval (yellow spotted wildcat with black spots and a striped tail) faces forward and stands on a rope, feet claws wrapped around it. His right hand holds the rope; the left holds a red spyglass with gold rings. The top of his left ear is torn off; the outer rim of the right is studded with gold jewelry. He wears a gold triangular necklace. His red shirt has bell shaped sleeves and poofy wrists and black crossed stitching in the front. His pants are brown and tied with a brown cord. His tail wails behind him. He looks concerned and focused. Behind him, the sky goes from pink at the bottom to sky blue in the middle to dark blue at the top. Puffy cumulus clouds drift across it.
