I found an old ballpoint pen sketch page I did of Astra from a while back. It is in her OG outfit. I decided to color it and see how it came out.💜 #traditionalart #drawing #oc

i took a little break online. i've been drawing a bunch of sketch pages for OCs. 😊 i have a bunch of art to post. old stuff, new stuff. i'm excited to share. now it's time to play catch up everywhere.

who's ready for ArtFight? I am! well, sorta 😅 follow me: artfight.net/~ladypoeart #ArtFight #ArtFight2026

Day 28 through 31 of MerMay is the 4 Elements! Earth🌍, Air💨, Fire🔥, & Water🌊! YAY!!! I DID IT!! This last entry includes the last prize front and center. The winner is @Oriana-Sun and the character I drew is the lovely Ceannè representing the element of Water. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 26 and 27 of MerMay is another dual day piece! The elements are metal ⚔️ & spirit 👻!! This mermaid offered herself as a sacrifice to save her kingdom, and she was able to appease the gods by becoming a servant. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 24 and 25 of MerMay is a dual day piece! The elements are fire 🔥 & water 🌊!! I busted out my big 9x12 sketchbook to draw these ladies. I found this cool pose on Pinterest and I thought it would be cool as mermaids. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 23 of MerMay is the fourth prize winner!! SapfireStudios's Kacie!! The element for the drawing is Air/Wind! 🌬️ #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 22 of MerMay is a mermaid made of oak and moss. Her element is Wood! 🌲 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 21 of MerMay is a curious undersea steampunk mermaid! Her element is metal! ⚙️ I imagine she uses steam from thermal vents to make her machines work in her underwater workshop. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 20 of MerMay is a Leafmaid lying on a bed of moss. Her element is Earth! 🍃 I imagine she lives in an enchanted lagoon & makes the greenery thrive & grow to keep her home hidden. She can easily blend in with her colors and her tail resembling leaves. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 19 of MerMay is the element of Water!! 💙 I was inspired by the blue-green waters of the Ionian Islands. I imagine her imbuing her magic into the water to make it have the beautiful hues it does. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 18 of MerMay is my third contest prize winner! @nannyaleida.bsky.social's Nocturnal!! The element for the drawing is Spirit!! 👻 She is swimming through the ghostly swamp. She is scared but a little intrigued. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 17 of MerMay is a Cloudmaid. She represents the element of Air. ☁️ Since in clouds, there is water, I imagine her swimming around in fluffy clouds and her tailfin causing rainclouds. 😊 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 16 of MerMay is a lovely golden queen relaxing on a crescent throne wearing her favorite accessories! ⚔️ I wanted to draw a queen that enjoys the wealth and decadence under the sea. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 15 of MerMay is a lava mermaid!! I'm really loving drawing fire this month 🔥 I had the elemental salamanders in mind when creating her. The little spots were inspired by actual salamanders. This paper was very textured, but I think it helped. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 14 of MerMay is an element I haven't done yet. Wood! 🌲 I imagine an enchanted lagoon where the mermaids are actually part of the landscape. A kinda dryad-mermaid hybrid was the idea behind this. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 13 of MerMay is my second contest prize winner!! 4TwistedAmy's Allie!⛈️ Her element is thunder!! I really liked the idea of the powers of the element coming through her trident. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 12 of MerMay I wanted to do something special. With the element of Earth I have a mermaid on a bed of roses!! 🌍 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 11 of MerMay is fiery goldfish. The element today is of course fire!! 🔥 I originally planned this to be another mermaidfication of another Pokémon character, Flareon, but I accidentally started it with the wrong coloring and just kept going 😅 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 10 of MerMay is a cute lil ghost mermaid. 👻 The element today is Spirit. She found a sunken city full of graves where the souls had already left a long time ago. She claimed this one because she never had a grave of her own. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 9 of MerMay is the element of Water!! 💙 I am apparently on a blue trend. This mermaid is a water elemental for the stormy sea. Her hair made of the waters themselves. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 8 of MerMay is a flying fish mermaid! She is able to leap through the sea and air as she explores the ocean. She loves gazing into the clouds and watching the birds fly in the sky.🤍 Because she can take flight, she represents the element of Air. 😊 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 7 of MerMay tells a bit of a story. It represents the element of spirit. 👻 #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 6 of MerMay is a electric neon deep sea mermaid. She can control thunder and lightning. ⛈️And you can't really have one without another. I looked at a lot of neon lights and electric eels as reference to create her. I used a total of 4 colors + black. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 5 of MerMay is a redraw of a drawing I started some years ago. 🤍 I think with the bubbles it perfectly represents the element of Air. I tried a few different things in the coloring, especially with the bubbles, I did a full background yay. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 4 of MerMay is my first contest DA prize winner!! lpsyugioh's Phoenix!!🔥 Of course her awesome element is fire. When I saw Phoenix I just knew I had to draw her. Her design is just so cool and omg that color palette!! #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 3 of MerMay is something I wanted to do a little different for the element of Water. 🌊 I did a mermaidification of Vaporeon from Pokémon. I hope you all think she's cute. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 2 of MerMay is a lovely warrior wearing some deadly armor! ⚔️ Usually metal would weigh someone down in the dark waters, but this is magic metal, so it has different properties. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

Day 1 of MerMay we are starting off with the element of Earth!! 🌍 I did a pretty drawing of a mermaid statue made from magical stone. #traditionalart #mermaid #mermay

YAY!! It's Bakugo's birthday! 💥 I am happy to be able to do my yearly tradition of drawing him! I didn't know if I'd have time this year. #bakugo #animefanart #bokunoheroacademia

💜✨More OC profile drawings! ✨💜 I wanted to do an updated one for Astra. My celestial alien lady. I really like how I did her hair. It's so nice. Hopefully, I can do the effect on other drawings. 💜 It's a mix of alcohol and acrylic markers. #traditionalart #fantasyart

2026 I will continue doing my OC character portraits! 💚 I did Prince Vyrinach (Vyr for short) right as 2025 was coming to a close. He is Darksonna & Kathaine's oldest brother and next to be king of Amoriah. #traditionalart #fantasyart #darkamaranth

I only set artistic resolutions when I go into a new year. 2026 I definitely wanna do MORE art. Learn more and harness new techniques. Especially when it comes to backgrounds and creatures. I also want to work on some writing and world-building. Do you have any kind of art/writing goals for 2026?
