I've just read Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett and loved it! Just the right amount of coziness with some faerie darkness thrown in. I wanted to capture Wendell sneaking glances and of course Emily rather oblivious to it all 🥹 #emilywilde #bookart #romantasy

A mock book cover done for my portfolio. It's been a while since I've done a full colour piece and it was definitely a struggle at times! I am happy with the final results though 😊 I currently have commissions open - more info on my website or feel free to DM me.

→ Nothing like some well placed booby traps to bring people closer together… ← I couldn’t resist mocking up my latest piece as a fake book cover. Manifesting some adventure rom-com commissions because this was SO FUN and I would love to do more! 💖

Current #wip - channelling all of the romance cover + the mummy vibes for this one 💖 #sketch #illustration

Cartographer's Stall 🗺️ I keep forgetting I did this piece, but look at how cute it is! I also really like that birds eye logo that I spent all of about five seconds on. Looking forward to doing more environment stuff in the future 💖 #art #illustration #dndart #fantasy

Working on some fun little character portraits recently ✨ #art #sketch #dndart

I skipped out on drawing part of my latest artwork because I wanted to get to the fun colouring stuff and now the rest of it's finished and I have to go back and fix this one part and I don't wanna

I don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes a sketch is just meant to be a sketch and not a finished piece. Not everything has to be a "finished" thing. Maybe the sketch IS the finished version of that thing. If you learned from it, took what you needed, it had its purpose fulfilled.

Why do the ideas always seem way better in the dead of night? 🫠

Armour studies 💪 Really loving this squidgy gouache brush as well! #art #sketch

I've just finished reading The Folk of the Air series and while I have mixed feelings about the books (I really wanted to like them more than I did!) I did enjoy Cardan and the general faerie aesthetic 💖 #thefolkoftheair #cardangreenbriar #thecruelprince

Some fun underwater gestures. Amazing references from @adorkastock.com 💖

Forest nymph concepts 🌿

A gentle reminder - don't feed the wood nymphs or else they'll never leave you alone 🙄 A new personal piece for my portfolio. #illustration #art #fantasyart

⚠️ Art theft alert! ⚠️ There's a person on Artstation who stole artwork from different artists (including mine), slapped a watermark on it, and is pretending it's theirs to get scam commissions. Check to see if your artwork has been stolen and submit a DMCA report: www.artstation.com/gardinerr__z...

Oh WOW this is some fantastic info for making a website and operating a small online business! Seriously good resource, Degu!

Reminder to myself (and to whoever needs to hear) it that it's important to dare sharing your art, even if you think it's not good enough or it's pointless. Everyone has their own unique artistic voice that adds value to the world and deserves to be seen 💖

Fabric studies! I love painting fabric and drapery with references, but it's something I struggle with doing just from imagination. Fingers crossed some knowledge has rubbed off with these 😆 References mostly from the amazing Armstreet, plus a couple I found on Pinterest. #art #studies

Be excited about your work and others will follow. Cringe isn't real. It's a word people use to shut down others who have big feelings and big dreams. Be 100% you. There will always be someone who resonates.

Flip your canvas early and flip often

Also, while I’m looking for commercial work right now, I’ll likely be opening #commission slots sometime early in 2025! Subscribe to my newsletter at the link below to get first dibs at spots before they’re announced to the public!

How have I only just discovered the OnlyPosts feed? So much stuff I was missing out on 😳 bsky.app/profile/did:...

✨💖 Date Night 💖 ✨ A new personal piece that I’ve been working on for what feels like forever. Done mostly as environment practice but I couldn’t resist throwing in these two lovebirds on a night out 😍 #howlsmovingcastle #fanart #studioghibli

These are two older commissions but I'm still really happy with how they came out! They are two related characters from the same campaign. Love painting fancy swords ⚔️ #art #illustration #dnd #commissions

Here are some tips for artists about sending their portfolio to potential client companies.

Consuming too much art and drawing too little can often lead to this. Art is inspiring, but if you’re getting the opposite effect, it might be time to take a break from scrolling and draw instead.

Why does this continue to be true lol

Use a gif to show me where you're from.

I can not stress this enough, art is not a zero sum game. We have a responsibility to promote and help the next generation. If someone is brave enough to make something and put themselves out there, we have to boost them (within reason, of course.) A repost is the least we can do. Lift all artists!

If you see this, QRP with your blue art 💙 I feel like we did blue art already? Can never have too much I guess...
