Yay! A new studio space has been found and it’s perfect! I’m able to move in now but need to come up with my part of the security deposit fast! Can y’all help me out and boost my shop and ko-fi? I’d be so grateful if I can secure this spot asap! www.kellymckernan.com/shop ko-fi.com/kellymckernan

Another calendar piece! One of those pieces that when I did the digital sketch, I forgot I couldn't copy & paste in oils. Dany in one of her most iconic moments, taking control of the Unsullied. #art #asoiaf

🍂 It's officially Autumn! 🍂 Quote repost with your Autumn themed art. "Lady of November", watercolor & ink with gold leaf accents, 2016. #autumnart #illustration #darkart #darkfantasy

Finally saw 28 Years Later & enjoyed it well enough. It had quite a few lovely & surreal shots that elevated it slightly above other zombie material I've seen. Plus a few twists. (Spoilers!) My husband had to explain what a chav is to me afterwards, which also made it an educational experience.🤣

So I started the first Hades game! I know I’m late to the party. I scrubbed out years ago, but hoping God Mode can carry me this time! 🥲 Begin this #AngPlays🧵 to share my journey with Zag! Mute if you don’t want spoilers for this 5 year old game. I’ll add ⚠️ at the start of any spoilery posts.

Knights of Guinevere, the Owl House creator’s new project, is finally here! Been looking forward to this one. Anyone else watching? youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE?...

At rest 🗡

I try not to be too political on this account, but recent events have me shook. Wise words and a very relevant warning for us all.

‘Shamisen II’ limited edition fine art print is available now www.blackdragonpress.co.uk/products/sha...

Having fun with a new photo prop! Couldn’t leave this skull planter behind after he was the last one on discount. I’ll find any excuse to buy weird junk if I think it could be a good bit of set dressing for art flat lays. 👀

Some of the coolest GoT/ASOIAF art I’ve seen! Fans def need to check Sam’s entire collection of calendar work out.

This week on Planetside… Curious how fantasy settings can reflect real Arab history and culture more accurately? @jdharlock.bsky.social offers fresh insight and practical tips in “Avoiding ‘Arab Land’ Stereotypes when Depicting the Premodern Arab World”: www.sfwa.org/2025/09/16/a...

Discovered the Clearsky app today as a free tool to see what lists I’m on. It’s helpful to know how people are categorizing my art & it’s also a nice ego boost. Thx to the person who just thinks I’m neat.🥰 No login required to view public acct info is also nice. Thx for the tool @clearsky.app!

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you. "The Pirate's Kiss" a gift of character art for @thewhalergirl.com that is still one of my faves and more recent personal level-ups. Painted in Procreate. #darkfantasy #illustration #thewhalergirl

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

My mission today is to find two small paintings that went missing over our last house move. Curse my organizational system of 'store art in drawer where it fits and pray you remember which pile it was in'. Incentive to get a better filing system in place now that we aren't moving house so much!

So ummm it's my birthday, and I heard you can ask for shares on your art during it, so >:3 behold, some 2025 art I'm pretty proud of!! #dnd #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #art

Hey artists! Post some art you made from before Bluesky! Here's a dark fairy drawing from a few years ago that I still really like. The original drawing exists somewhere in the front matter of someone's ltd. edition gold foil Birthstone Goddesses coloring book. May she guard your home from moths!

Showing off “Lady of September”s frame, another personal fave of mine from the set.

😂 omg the expressions are so perfect!

Has ANYONE read the fucking book?

A Wheel for the Birthstone Goddesses! This series pushed me to explore so many palettes I wouldn't have explored on my own, as I naturally tend towards purples and reds. I got to explore a whole world of greens thanks to Emerald, Peridot, & Aquamarine birthstones. #thecolorwheel #the_color_wheel

I had to dig deep to fill out the greens, while lots of my art competed for the purple range. This was a fascinating exercise to make me more consciously aware of what palettes I lean towards. Huevember calls my name to explore this further! #thecolorwheel #the_color_wheel #fantasyart #illustration

Alas, there was no August Studio Hangout thanks to ever MOAR medical blahs, BUT have a treat of some fun sketches I did over a much-needed long weekend. Plus, some flash fiction to go with the art! Read on at the public blog post for updates, sketches, & story fluff: www.patreon.com/posts/no-aug...

Alien: Earth ep 5 was SO good! I still have no guesses how this is going to end & that's a major selling point for me, considering after so much Alien media, we ALWAYS know how it will end. I'll give it bonus points for freshness! How are y'all liking it thus far? This long-time Alien fan is hyped!

FINAL DAY is today! Get your discounted pretties while you can.😘

Thank you for the artshare :)

Used my final day of vacation wisely on silly arts that made me smile. 😁

Chillin this long weekend & watching the hubby catch up on Honkai Star Rail. Hot dang, Feixiao is peek aesthetic. What a gorgeous (& extremely badass) character. Love the jacket and color scheme! (I don't play this one, but happily secondhand absorb all the designs & trailers via @cien.bsky.social)

What a fun idea! Signal boosting for my TTRPG folks.

Ahh my season has arrived! 🎃 Got outta the house to look at Halloween decor which is therapy for this old goth. Loving all the muted purple & silver this season! There was also a neon pink & black aisle for my neon goths.

QRT your oldest work vs your newest work. 1991 VS 2025 Young artist me was very obsessed with mermaids, particularly the ones from Disney movies. I try to escape being so colorful, but it still seeps in to my current art, no matter how Dark Fantasy Artist I try to be.🤣 #Art #Artist #ThenVsNow

Ohhh what a fantastic comics bundle! I've been wanting to read @beckycloonan.bsky.social's SOMNA for a while. Now I finally get my chance PLUS the extra bonus of helping charity. Win-Win! I've not heard of many of the others, so this'll be an exciting journey of discovering new stories as well!

Lady of August’s enamel pin from my Birthstone Goddesses series. I was quite pleased with being able to capture her sheer veil in the enamels. Pins available in my Etsy -> angelicshades.etsy.com #enamelpins #artpins #goddessart #artnouveau #fineart

Yup...my book "Angelic Visions" was in here too. -sigh-

3 pieces to get to know me

Tired is thinking someone on Alien: Earth got to the ship crash site in ep 1, smiled and said “Where’s the Spider Chute?” Had to turn subs on. Brain too slow today, but I enjoyed ep 1 immensely! Not at all what I expected the plot to be, but it’s better for being the unexpected tbh.

There's so much charm & inspiration in every page of the Delicious In Dungeon Adventurer's Bible (Complete Edition)! I really love seeing character's rooms, especially, as well as all the little details about this story's take on races. This quickly became one of my fave anime shows in recent years.
