Happy #portfolioday! I do fantasy art and book covers ~ plus, check out exclusive stuff at patreon.com/cluelessluca

My lovely wife wrote some lovely things about a piece I did for her as a Valentine’s Day gift ♥️

A Dance of Dusklight is nearly release-ready, but you can get a sneak peek on Patreon! Here's the full illustration I did for chapter one, link to Patreon below. #fantasy #fantasyart #novel #release #preview #sapphic #yuri

🤦🏻 do they . . . know what the words mean?

I've sat bisexually a lot of different ways, but this one is out there. Does it count? This is Ellarian btw, and I don't know for certain what all her tattoos are and where, so they're not going to be consistent in my artwork of her. #bisexual #sittingbisexually #OC #gesturedrawing #nerd

Did this a while back and forgot! Asimov before haircut. #spindleclub

Celani Doesn't Like Working Out (part 2) and she's trying to flirt with Zari until she's allowed to stop. #oc #yuri #noAI #comic

Don't have anything new to post today. Did an art yesterday, but it's for chapter 7.

Celani Doesn't Like Working Out (part 1) but she's doing it anyway because she likes Zari. #OC #wlw #yuri

anybody else just tired of bullshit? -__-

Courtyard Dance Just a little joy. I was inspired by @aidenr0.bsky.social 's scenes that are peaceful and romantic, and I tweaked my style just a little. #OC #fantasy #yuri #lesbians #sexualtension #romance #sapphic #wlw #gl #dancing

Taking a break to draw a villain. Lore: This is Figment. The mask he wears is no mask at all—it's his face, which doesn't move but always looks like it does out of the corner of your eye. He can glean everything from other people's facial expressions. #oc #fantasy #villain #novel

#Booksky We’re back at Fables & Flames today at Booth 35 with great deals, badge ribbons and more! Come see us! fablesandflames.com

Number 6 is Sage! She's the oldest at the Tree, very sweet and indoorsy, small (think gnome/halfling/goblin size) and introverted, yet with a huge curiosity. She has an endless repertoire of little songs that she uses to make water dance. #OC #fantasy #lineup #gnome #goblin

DAN! #himbo love

Repost of characters 1 to 4—Atheya, Anja, Saskia, and Kira. I promise only 1 of the others has a name ending in "a".

Hoo boy, it’s been a while. Posting is hard! 😭 Here’s no. 5 in my series of OCs from the Dusklight Tree. The first book is coming soon, I promise. Dandras (AKA Dan) is an affable, lighthearted, somewhat simple himbo. Everyone is his friend and he takes that seriously. #oc #Fantasy #himbo #tokenguy

A weird power outage on #portfolioday kept me away, and an annoying cold has been incapacitating me since! I'm naturally disinclined to use social media, so it has been hard to get back on this horse, as they say. I am an author and illustrator, book cover maker, doing fantasy art. Comms open!

No. 4 in my OC lineup is Kira. She's easily disgusted but also morbidly drawn to gross things, so I tried to capture that expression. Her magic can teleport her to any point she can see, which can be very dangerous! She's also only 16, so no creeping! #oc #fantasy #characterdesign #sketch #teen

4th coming up!

No. 3 is Saskia. She has a very distinct, very "fantasy" character design, so I wanted to make sure I got all the details right. I referenced art by @loish.bsky.social to get the "hair floating as if underwater" vibe. #OC #fantasy #characterdesign #genasi #sapphic #novel #illustration

3rd incoming soon! #oc #fantasy #characterdesign

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY: Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

No. 2 is Anja! This is exciting because I have a better image of Anja than I've ever had. I have aphantasia, I can't see images in my mind, they're just ideas. I knew Anja is: 18, skinny, black hair, gothy, Attitude, pissed at everyone; but they hadn't coalesced into a LOOK. Now they have!

for those who don’t know, and I don’t blame you since it hasn’t been on the news, last night Trump posted a now-deleted AI-generated video of himself on a Fox News segment hawking a medbed miracle cure that many gullible folks believe the deep state is suppressing to protect hospital profits.

Completed commission! A D&D party of 4 having an animated discussion at a tavern. This was tricky, and while I like how it turned out, I think I would have gone about it a little differently. Looking forward to the next. #d&d #dnd #commission #adventurers #ttrpg #tavern #art #amdrawing #ampainting

Going to do some art of all my secondary characters who reside at the Dusklight Tree (upcoming novel #hype), and the first up is Atheya A hardened warrior who is also nurturing, patient, and incredibly sincere. Of all the residents of the Tree, she's the only without magic. She has muscle.

Every time a piece of news like this comes out, this is my reaction. Also glee. #anti-ai #aideath #bubble #thingsnobodysawcoming #meme

I haven't heard anybody talk bad about wikipedia in ages. It's the best.

In addition to a sale on commissions and gratefully accepting any coffees and clues bought, I've put out my ebooks on kofi for just $1 each for a limited time. :) I promise I'll post actual art soon. Promise.

I'll be back around later, but we are in need of short-term funds—even a tiny donation helps tremendously—so I am chopping my commissions by 50% for a limited time. I'm finishing up a bigger commission of a D&D party, so I'm looking to get to work on some new ones! Fast turnaround and flexible.

I am going to be annoying AF about this the next 7 hours or so if people are serious about this boycott. I don't want yet ANOTHER thing to go wrong money wise this month.

not even untrue tho

$350 still needed to get her a moving truck paypal.me/MsSoniaD or cashapp $spunkylilminx #UrgentNeed #MutualAid 💸 💕

@magalivilleneuve.bsky.social thank you so much for the encouragement! This was a joy to complete, and I'm so glad I picked Chandra for this learning experience. I look forward to doing another! #mtg #magicart #magicthegathering #magic #fanart #chandra #illustration #mtgart #planeswalker

Another MTG fanart, this of Chandra, Torch of Defiance by Magali Villanueve @magalivilleneuve.bsky.social Still a WIP, because I wanted to honor the level of detail that goes into all of her art. This one couldn't be a sketch like my others, it just wouldn't be right. #magic #magicart #chandra

New goal, and it's urgent! Any help—big or small—goes a long way toward meeting it and keeping us going. Thru tomorrow ONLY, 40% off commissions. I'll try to be online as much as I can during that period, and I'm offering *free 1-minute doodles* for a share. Just name it, and I'll do my best.

oh thank the gods, we have internet again

Please help if you can and share

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS

kofi is active commissions open discount link initiated! PLEASE SHARE! My wife needs a refrigerator. Repost this, name a thing, and I will try to doodle that thing as quickly as I can and post it in response. #kofi #commissions #fundraising #ilovemywife #amdrawing

Shouting out that @annabookwriter.bsky.social and I are in need of a lot as we move in to a new place in a new country! So, what can I do? Draw, I guess. Follow this link for 30% off commissions. More ways for you to help will be coming soon. You can also buy a clue for Luca (me). I appreciate it!

Next up, this morning’s sketched rendition of the Magic: the Gathering card Vraska Joins Up by @wyliebeckert.bsky.social . So far I’ve done two pieces each by two of my favorite artists. Who’s next? #magicart #mtgart #fanart #gorgon #vraska #daily #sketch

I miss the old brand #CDC
