Gods this is so real. Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing. You can make amazing non-realistic art. You can make amazing stylized art. Cute, funky, weird, great art.

I want to make a third Ancient Wisdom. Someone commission me please.

When I'm not illustrating Gwelf I like to explore the world of Faeries, Sprites, Witches and Woodland Nudes. NSFW but still pretty harmless. If you're curious you can check it here - bsky.app/profile/long...

Leaping Lulu. Drawn with an Ackerman manga G nib pen filled with India ink, as an ink experiment.

I thought it would be fun do do some grayscale illustration for the spooky season, though it ended up taking a little longer than I expected.

Let us be monsters together 🍁

Woah.

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here. ko-fi.com/eskiworks

5 hours left on my patch campaign and we are less than $100 away from the last stretch goal. Check it out here! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... #ttrpg #rpg #patch

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour www.emilyhare.co.uk

Warm-up - watercolor & gouache study #painting #traditionalmedia

how do you know you drew a creature yawning correctly? You start yawning when you look at it, that's how (WHEN WILL IT STOP? PLS MAKE IT STOP)

Just finished uploading the remainder of my portfolio to Cara, I quite like the platform and do wish there was a bit more activity there: cara.app/rowynnellis

I felt bad making him wait in the -35 cold so that I could film this before giving out so very the politely requested peanuts, but I finally got a blue jay at my door doing the legendary R2D2 blue jay warble!!! SOUND ON! #birds 🪶

For anyone who could use a variety of animal, plant or fungi references, NO AI. iNaturalist is a website and app that is a civil science project where anyone can contribute photos of nature to the app and help in data collection. Its fun, free, and I've been using it for years. www.inaturalist.org

Whenever I get this far into one of the projects, I start thinking about the other ones waiting for me. Today, that means there are a bunch of shacklings scuttling around my brain. (page from the #babayaga #sketchbook)

The Tree of Keres #dailysketch Day 31 #art #illustration #darkart We made it!! A whole month of daily drawings! Let's keep going! 🔥

Another hot tip for saving money: You can refill your Micron (or similar) pens when they dry up. There are several YouTube videos, but basically pop the end off, shake out the sponge-tube, drip whatever ink you like into the sponge slowly until it's wet through, then re-assemble. Voila! Like new!

I know the bird is just lifting one foot to warm it up, but in my head it's tapping its claws like people tapping their fingers while waiting. 😂 And in this case it had been nearly three whole minutes since the last peanut. #birds

Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

Welp... just read some of an article about the Neil Gaiman stuff and I feel actually ill. It's beyond what I could have imagined. Major trigger warning if anyone goes looking - severe SA and abuse.

Happy New Year 🎊

Without downloading new pics, what's your energy going into 2025? Gonna cheat with two...

As another little holiday project I am reviewing photos of #birds at my "little bird bath". So many species! I will see about putting together a thread of some highlights, like these two junior robins

Beowulf is one of my favourite tales of all time. I want to write and illustrate the story myself one day. I’ve painted parts from it over the years. This one is from 2017 and is called ‘The Choicest Of Weapons’ - Beowulf takes on grendel’s mother. #beowulf #folklore #watercolour

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Artist: That’s negative space!
