New Year’s resolution 2026: Post More Art! Even if it’s just sketches 😁 This month I’m using a prompt list posted by @hubbardart.bsky.social (when I have time from client work) This watercolor sketch is for “moss” based on a ref from @Graphitstudio.bsky.social #sketchboook #fantasyillustration

New! My flying cat stickers are now in my RedBubble store! Check out all the different kitties from the new Collection. They are also available on phone cases, shirts, and a few other fun things. 😸 Just in time, since there's a flash sale on stickers today! www.redbubble.com/people/steph...

(throwing open my window) you there, boy, what day is this?

This weekend I’m at the Faerie Faire / Fairy Scary Ball with other artists and workshops and dancing and music all day and night! Bringing my flower cards too, specially for the fae 💐🧚 Get tickets and schedule info at baltimorefaeriefaire.weebly.com #fantasyart #cosplay #fairyfair

Excited to join the Showcase at @ixarts.bsky.social again - stop by at the Reading Doubletree if you can and see ALL the amazing fantasy artists Fri-Sat evening Oct 24-25 8-midnight. My Hanged Man is also appearing in the Infected by Art annual, I can’t saint to pick up my copy!

I'm happy to join @baltimoresteampunk.bsky.social at the Steampunk Soiree at the Lord Baltimore Hotel this Saturday night! Say hi if you're there! In addition to my usual astrological and critter stickers, and dragony and tarot prints, I'll be bringing my Floral Alphabet notecards and prints.

This weekend I’ll be set up in the artists alley at #DEXLITE IN Morristown, NJ - July 3-6, 4 full days of tabletop, card games, and RPGs. Stop on by and say hi! I may be taking on-site commissions, first come, first serve! #artistsalley #fantasyartist tabletop.events/conventions/...

At last month’s workshop I started a new drawing, inspired by the homework prompt (and all the isekai I’ve been watching 😅) It went through a LOT of sketching & development - inc. ref. photos with the help of fellow attendees. It still needs a few more tweaks before it’s ready to start inking.

Had an awesome time last month at the Fantasy Art Illustration Intensive - such a vibe with so many amazing artists! Big thanks to @jeffmiracola.com for organizing and the incredible instructors for their insight and energy. (And 😘 ever-sparkly @labillustration.bluesky.social for the selfie!)

See a Fox 🦊 Post a Fox 🦊 #Art #Fox (This fox has a friend, may also be considered a fox? 😏)

The stillness of the night was broken by chaos from the zoo… It’s #Junicorn and I’m playing along with @ecraster combining as many of the #advancedjunicorn week 1 prompts into 1 image as I can 😁 Just a rough sketch so far - What do you think, should I finish it up? #sketchbook #fantasyart

Looks like I’ll be busy this June… 😉🦄 #fantasyillustration #fantasyartist #junicorn

I’m all set up for the weekend at @balticon.bsky.social - come find me in Artists Alley, where I may be scribbling away in my sketchbook. I have some pieces in the art show as well, including a few older drawings and my recent Smaugust watercolors. #balticon #fantasyartist

If you're heading to #Balticon this weekend, stop by the artists alley to say Hi! I'll have my prints, cards, stickers, and few other fun things for sale. I'm also bringing a couple of my older pieces and a few recent paintings along for the art show, www.balticon.org

I'm so happy to be returning to the HIVE artspace gallery in York PA! I have several paintings, prints, cards, and stickers in their "For the Love of Animals" May show. 20% of all my sales go to charity. ❤️😸 Opening event is May 2, 5-9pm during the King St. Night Market www.hiveartspace.com

Here is the final art for #theWorld card I created for the upcoming #78Tarot Medieval deck. It’s not strictly #EarthDay themed, but it makes me think hopefully for the future. #fantasyillustrator

Have spent way too much of my life sketching horses, my mind horse is a bit too sassy for her own good. Also had to play on “hard mode” by drawing on paper instead of digital and now am haunted by how small her face is oops 😅 #mindhorse #sketchbook

Never enough art references!

Gotta love an animal-themed art share! I was just revisiting these ink and watercolor sketches of my elderly cat Tinkerbell from “Tinktober” a few years ago, some of which are now stickers. She is sleeping in most of them because she hated being photographed SO much 😹 (and she was at least 18)

For #NationalUnicornDay here’s my Elemental #Unicorns series, one for all 5 elements - Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether/Void. You can also find them in my shop www.redbubble.com/people/steph... #fantasyillustrator #fantasyart

Happy #PortfolioDay :) I’m Stephanie, illustrator seeking work and an agent. I adore #fantasy and #natureart, and would love to illustrate books and games. I also bring my experience in design, UX, and #science comms. stephaniesmith.com #fantasyillustrator #kidlitillustrator #scbwiartist

Here are some work-in-progress from my current project: she will be "The World" card for an upcoming #tarot deck from #78tarot Evolution from thumbnail sketch - one of several - to line drawing, to color flats, since I'm working digitally. #tarotartist #fantasyillustrator

If you see this, post your green art~💚🌿 Jumping the season a bit (spring is still sproinging in my area) but my Dragon of Summer is waiting in the wings! 🐉 Its part of a set of all 4 seasons, available in my shops, both of which are having sales right now 😉 critterwings.com

Hello #KidlitArtPostcard Day! I'm an #illustrator looking for work and representation. I love working on #fantasyillustration for #kidlit and older. (Tho I'm also a total nerd for #nonfiction about #nature, #history, and #STEM 😉)

For #WorldFrogDay here’s an older drawing I made based on Aesop’s fable of The Ox and the Frog. The frog in this story let her pride get better of her, but in the real world frogs’ survival instincts are being stretched to the limit. #natureillustration #storyart

Happy #FirstDayOfSpring - thinking ahead to warmer days in the near future. #vernalEquinox #spring This piece was created to be the #4ofSwords in the #78Tarot Medieval Tarot deck, coming later this year. #fantasyillustration

As a #fantasyartist when I’m drawing mythical and made-up creature I obsess a LOT over getting the anatomy to look believable and realistic. And then I look at my cat sleeping and wonder why I bother.

If you see this, QRP with your animal painting!

If you see this, QRP with your animal painting! First three done with my Procreate brushes, last one with Holbein coloured pencils.

If you see this post a #dragon ! Channeling the vibes of "false spring" that we're feeling today 🌸 (FYI: My Dragon of Spring and the rest of the four seasons are in both of my online stores at www.critterwings.com)

I don't have anything new right now for #MarchofRobots but here's one from a few years ago. It's part of a picture book proposal so it's a little simpler than my usual style. (Just a little bit tho 😅) Ink and watercolor. #kidlitart #illustration #robotart #scifi

Hello #KidlitArtPostcard Day! I'm an #illustrator looking for work and representation. I love working on #fantasyillustration for #kidlit and older, including books, licensing and games. 🐉 (Tho I'm also a total nerd for #nonfiction about #nature, #history, and #STEM 😉)

I'm thrilled to share that my piece "Take The Fool's View" - created as The Hanged Man for the upcoming @78tarot.bsky.social Medieval deck - will be in the #InfectedByArt Vol. 13 Annual of fantasy art and illustration! I'll also be at the #IXArts Showcase again this October - see you there. :)

I am told that it is #SuperbOwl Sunday today? I drew this eagle owl a while ago, but I think it's still fairly superb. (FYI it's in my Redbubble store along with some of my other nature and fantasy art... which is having a sale right now) www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/6403...

I had so much fun Thursday night at @drsketchybaltimore drawing the always adorable Miss Dollie Darlin at Mobtown Ballroom - Thank you so much! My biggest challenge was focusing on her lovely poses or those eyes! (and forgetting my good pencil bag 😅) <1/2> #drsketchy #lifedrawing #sketchbook

Arrrr, matey! For this month’s #characterdesignchallenge theme “animal pirate” I turned my own cat Violet into a high seas pillager, in recognition of how handily she steals all of the toys from our older cat Timmy (as well as a few hearts) #animalpirates Drawn in Procreate

Celebrating the #yearofthesnake with a new #watercolor and ink painting, featuring a gentle Bronzeback tree snake in a fig tree. Hoping the wisdom, reflective, nurturing, and creative transformative energy of the Wood Snake will be a force for POSITIVE change in upcoming #LunarNewYear

Thank you, President Jimmy Carter. I made this quick sketch in his memory. He tried to live out his values of honesty, hard work, and generosity in office and went on to demonstrate them to us all in spades during his long life afterwards.
