Last year I did a semester at Smart School with Sam Weber that challenged my process in a way I'm still getting to grips with. I've not shared much of the work I did as I'm still figuring things out, but here's one of the pieces I finished. "Echo" watercolour & acrylic 9 x 12" #traditionalart #art

Clash on the Vale of Nyar

Baku and crew (but mostly Baku) are once again playing vet bill bingo so umm... I guess here we are. I sure appreciate all of you and your help spreading the word, sharing is caring and all that - Buy 2 or more items & use code THANKDOG for 20% off LauraGarabedian.Etsy.com

It is super cool to see the game I'm working on officially in a playstation state of play!

No snare may hold me Foiled prints o' this avaliable later this month! www.coyoteprince.com #art #unicorn #fantasy

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

Hey so moderation chosen and set up for individual posts makes the most sense. But posts get auto-mislabeled all the time, and you think applying an often inaccurate auto-mod to an entire account won't cause more harm than good? You'll mass hide accounts that are posting within rules this way.

This is genuinely fucked up, you are disappearing accounts from audiences completely that have posted nsfw, the majority of people who sign up here don't even know about the default moderation settings. Tagging per post was fine, people preferred it!

One more #Mermay! Lionfish make for such a good mermaid base. Also trying out a very different palette with the #colorcube again. Handmade watercolour paints in the photo are from Beam Paints, a gift from a friend and are lovely! Base for the gouache used on top.

Had the May art bug again, seeing my #Mermay pics from a couple years ago made me want to create more. Can't go wrong with a classic red head mermaid! Having some fun choosing my colours with the physical color cube palettes from @sarahrenaeclark.bsky.social too. #fantasyart #traditionalart

It's my birthday! 🎉 A very cool gift you can give me is telling a friend who likes comics, roleplaying games, or just colourful shenanigans in general about Crystal Heart! www.uptofourplayers.com/crystal-hear...

Rare I get to do much personal for fun work these days, but #Mermay brought real fomo! Couple of total comfort zone pieces, with bright colours, elegant feminine form and fish fins :D #art

“the thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

What an incredible mark! I started doing art embroidery last year because my headphones decided to flake vinyl into my mouth. I thought, why not do something incredible that I've always wanted to try? Now I'm doing a larger piece to be framed in a shadowbox.

@brandonsanderson.com thank you for this talk. I've had trouble trying to sum up WHY Ai sits ill with me and what it means for humankind and creativity, but this sums it up beautifully. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb3u...

I contain mountainous volumes of unfathomable existential anxiety & also whimsy

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Do you have an art stream?! 👀 I'm giving away 3 months of TrueRef+ to anyone who streams (no other requirements!) Just send me a DM. trueref.io/products/tru...

NGL folks. Moving even just one of these originals would really make a difference for my husband & I with our continually piling up medical bills.🥲 Plz help spread the word, if you can. Even just re-sharing is powerful for small artists like me.🙏

Hey illustrators/agents! I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; texture (printmakingish); AND BATS! Lively, active, swarming BATS! Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

More SoIaF calender art! This time ALL the horses. I really enjoy painting horses but this one was a challenge with so many. Oberyn arriving with his cohort. I managed to sneak the Hogg family banner in there as it's legit a family he travelled with :D Oil on panel 19 x 19" #art #gameofthrones

Anyone at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social this weekend, I noticed Jimmy mulligan selling in one of the vendor halls, be aware he was thrown out of dragon con artist alley for using AI.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

🏠

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

Well this was a siren song I couldn't resist late at night when i should really be sleeping. Cara is all about sexy things in red, and she seems to be my fashion muse. #OCart #TheWhalerGirl

Next up from the 2020 SoIaF calendar, the moment Arya whispers her first name to Jaqen. 19" square, Oil on panel #traditionalart #fantasyart #art

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...
