Did I tell you yet that I hate painting backgrounds? Yes? Well, you gotta read it again: I hate painting backgrounds! Ugh! (I adjusted the bg for Runa (the dog), and...I just don't knooow! 🤣🙈 it's not completely sh**, but...ah well)

1 week!!!!! #countdown 🤩🤩🤩🤩🖖

Aw maaan: the Star Trek Lower Decks mobile game from Eastside Games will come to an end in June. I played this game for quite some time, and I don't like that at all. It was fun for me and part of my daily routine 😢

Boo.

Layers! 😄 But still a long way to go 💪

Ugly phase unlocked. Now gotta keep adding layers and layers and layers and... #commission It's so weird to draw with pencils again, after months! Ui

Mondays, amirite? #wip

Wheeeee! 😄 #Countdown

Happy #Mother'sDay to all the pet moms and moms, in blood or not. Have a wonderful one ❤️. And to everyone else as well, of course 🤗😘

What a workday 😁🤩 www.instagram.com/p/DYIK79_jEe...

We have "Galaktisches Wochenende" (Galactic Weekend) here at my workplace. Lots of SciFi cosplayers, mostly Star Wars, but I also spotted some Starfleet personnel 🤣🖖

*clears throat* BLEEPS! 2 weeks! In less than 2 weeks, I'll be knee-deep into #FedCon, my first ever convention experience. WHEEEEE! (btw, will try to make a video of the weekend, but no promises on that part. I'm a Xennial, and often forget to do such things 🤣)

Done. Decided to go with the boring and not bold background because it's a gift. Hm. But it's ok 😊

Work in progress. Do you know this dog? 🙃😉Content how it's turning out, even though it's a "quicky," and details will stay rough. Started today, need to finish it tomorrow at the latest, then commission time 😵‍💫

The print packing machine is going full speed ahead over here- while I’m at it, I’d love to find homes for these stragglers! There is 1 Quint, 1 Carrie, and 1 Indy print left, and 2 Rachel prints (which are on sale)! www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

She knows she’s handsome.. 😊

Good morning, bleeps 🤗 A question for #convention goers, who also bought tickets for group shots: generally, how expensive are these, at an average? Still fighting with myself, and these prices aren't announced yet

Clean(ish) palette 🎨. On to the next projects! One (colored pencil) commission and another hopefully still-in-convention-time oil painting one. Stress!

I'm fighting with myself: so far I "only" invested money for two autographs, but - should I also get me one photosession ticket? It's expensive, AND I hate myself on photos. Plus, I'm probably awkward and shy as hell, as I'm just me. 😬

Btw - COUNTDOWN! I will definitely be overwhelmed by everything 🙃 #FedCon2026 www.fedcon.de/de/page/2/

Wow, thank you guys for all the love 🥰 I was apparently a bit too tired when I posted the pic earlier, because I totally forgot some uniform details on Chapel's uniform. Oops. That's now rectified. As well as everything else I wanted to add. 😅 #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #fanart #oilpainting #StarTrek

If at all, I will only add two or three color accents, so I call it finished. Eh. This took me so long, I'm happy it's now done. And that it's done in time for #FedCon - for an autograph! 😃🤩🖖 #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #fanart #oilpainting #SubspaceRhapsody #art

Dogs’ reactions when you ask them if they want a walk.

Eh, well, it wasn’t quite yet the final session, because: after starting off ok, I destroyed it again, thankfully could save it, half-destroyed it again afterwards, saved it, looked at watch, cursed, added some more paint, and nearly got to the finish line, but nope, better stop now. It’s 2 am. 😑

Final session? I hope so! 🤞🖖😃

Who is ready for #StrangeNewWorlds to come back?!?! We are!! Even if it means the final season, which is tragic. We have really enjoyed this #StarTrek show. Here is some great #Spock art, shared with permission, by @diy_tinchen on IG! #StarshipTempest #SupportArtists

Happy Birthday @masterreplicas.bsky.social! To celebrate their third birthday, they've asked us to help spread the word! You can be in with a chance to win their Starship Library! Open for 24hours! UK: www.masterreplicas.co.uk/pages/starsh... US: www.masterreplicas.com/pages/starsh... 1/3

I'm starting to feel good about my painting, yep. Not too much left to do, just a few more hours of work. Should be done by end of next week 🤩🤞🖖

Whoooohoooo! I'm so, so excited, but it's so bittersweet, knowing they've already finished the last season. And don't you dare killing someone off, nope, nope! #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #season4

Even IF that shooting yd wasn't staged - I don't believe anything they say anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ kinda sad, but that's on them

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

So, yesterday's painting session... did I destroy my painting, or did I make a genious decision? Well, we will know when I've finished it. All I have to say is: BACKGROUNDS! 😖😵‍💫🤣

I worked on my painting yd evening until 1 am, trying to finish all the faces with missing details etc. Only one face missing, BUT: I have to onve again apologize massively to Erica, she just doesn't look good 😂😂 I tried, and yep, I had a crappy screencap as a reference, but it should've been better

Puh. Spent most of the day on my balcony, relaxing in the sun and - after ages - listening to my fav playlist I've built over many years. Feeling so many feels right now (bittersweet but good ones). Needed that day. It feels like a mini grounding for my nervous system. ❤️

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog. Say hello to Lilly! I was very proud of how her fur turned out, so...yeah. She was a cutie

Aw 😍🥰 #timelinecleanse

Liebe Stadt #Münster: könnt ihr bitte noch 1 weitere Baustelle so um den Schlossplatz eröffnen? Ja? Dann kann ich nicht mehr nach Hause nach der Arbeit, das wäre bombastisch #Ironie! Jetzt grade geht es auch nur noch mit mehr Fahrtzeit und Umwegen und extra Spritverbrauch. Die Pleite ist nah 😠

I keep seeing posting Superman (Supermen?) and I suddenly remembered that many moons ago I did this.

Guess what I wanted to do today. And now guess what I absolutely didn't do today... #lazybumdamnit

Sharing again...

@steillustrates.bsky.social yo! Quick question: Did you leave Instagram? 😲🤔

CALLING ALL TREK ARTISTS I hope that all of the talented fan artists and designers will flood Trek with submissions. Tag an artist. Share the info. If your art drips of diversity and/or queerness I would be particularly delighted for you to submit your work! www.instagram.com/p/DXO3YWblOR...

"Inside" New personal piece.

Oh! Bluesky is back! Lol it was a nice forced break, though, mini social media detox

Last shift today, then 10 days off!!!! Partayyyyy!!! 😆🥳🥳🥳🍾

“What would you do if you were in charge of Star Trek?” Well, I wouldn’t keep cancelling it, that’s for sure.

At work. Ugh. Now that the balcony project is done, I can't wait to get back to my painting. May is getting clooose 🤩😲 #FedCon

I will never forgive those who voted for this disgusting pighead and put him into power. And those who are now keeping him in power, and did nothing about his crimes etc. He's playing with the lives of millions of people like it's a game, he NEEDS TO FUCKING GO!
