What if all life in Tír na nÓg started to look very different after so many years cut off from our reality? Been playing around with these ideas and designs for the past year just have to start drawing everything👀 #baskingshark #irishfolklore #creaturedesign #characterdesign #sharks #art

Dúisigh Suas This was inspired by a recent animation I made of a characters skin tearing open :D Turns out tendrils and goop are really satisfying and easy to draw! #gaeilge #irishartists #digitalart #art #comics #animation

I wish I could say this look and style was planned out, but I really just went with the flow and love the result. I think it's got a kind of robotic sheen look. Reminds me of #cyberpunk or #bladerunner #lifedrawing #nudeart #artist #animator

I actually really tried to roller skate when I lived in Vienna, and while I could eventually not fall down it's so tiring and never looked cool at all. #skating #speedpaint #artprocess #cartoons #animator

Warm Up - Love Only gave myself an hour for this one and I'm very happy with the result. I always love to find an image of people doing normal things in the nude. #love #kissing #lifedrawing #nude #art #artist #animator

Hunt I'm really happy with how terrifying Hunt looks here. I'll definitely draw him again with Bryce. I also attached all of my greyscale drawings here. It actually is the easiest way to paint your shading and I really regret ignoring it for so long. #fantasy #angels #gods #fanart #artist #character

Studies I'm currently working on an animation with a female character, but I'm actually far less familiar drawing women. Most life drawing classes I've done were with men, and most of my animations are male characters. So I've gone back to studies to gain confidence #artstudy #art #drawings

Link - Breath of The Wild I still think about this part of BOTW now and then and it's actually so intense. Like Link lost his entire team, somehow survived, but still had to surrender and disappear. It just deserved a dramatic painting. #nintendo #botw #link #legendofzelda #guardians #fanart

I'm just having a nudey sit by the river in Düsseldorf and reflecting on my first year in Germany. I really love this city, but I am disappointed in the lack of FKK spaces here in the west. When Berlin and the East seems to have so many open nude spaces.

I feel like all my favorite artists and animator's are amazing at calisthenics. So since I can muscle up now, could I also have an animation job 🥹 #calisthenics #muscleup #gymartist #fitness #pullups #thiccback

I recently finished reading the #crescentcity book series and was so inspired by all of the fantasy characters. I definitely want to make more designs for the full cast but I just had to draw Bryce first. #fantasy #characterdesign #comicart #bookillustation #superpowers #brycequinlan #bryceandhunt

I've been drawing some portrait and lighting studies today and just really fell in love with this one. Sometimes that state of flow actually hits just right. I feel like drawing is finally taking me out of a rut again too. #portrait #realism #lighting #artstyle #fashion #blue

@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social I've mentioned this podcast so many times as inspiration that I finally had to draw the man himself. This is the second time I painted a piece, but the first just wasn't working. I got lost in the pressure of it. #podcast #blindboy #illustration #starlings #ireland

Just had to scrap a piece that I was working on for over a week. :/ It's never easy, but sometimes you gotta call it!

Just started a new job this week so haven't found the time for anything big, but I've still been sketching loads. It's insane how drawing just always sorta out my heard. #sketchbreak #sketchbook #lifedrawing #art #handdrawn #ink #inkandpen

Great Surf 🤙 I miss surfing so much! I used to surf all the time in the West of Ireland, but there's no waves at all in Germany 😔 I made this to explore more beach designs and I'm also pretty obsessed with fantasy creatures rn. #mermaid #mer #surfsup #fantasy #artprints #water

Karlach I'm honestly still undecided about my favorite #BG3 character. Karlach is just so cool and fun to have in your party. I think she's actually been in my party the longest by far. She's just our adhd queen <3 #fanart #gameart #bg3fanart #karlach #anime #2danimation #bodybuilder #art

Ever since I watched Scavenger's Reign I've been itching to animate something alien and mechanical. I imagined this as an ancient god and the locals produced this absurd machine to allow the god to walk on land. #walkcycle #animation #folklore #water #crabwalk #machines #fantasy

I'm cooked. The coffee has stopped working and I keep falling asleep while standing up!!

Kratos #2 Just imagine a God of War animated series in the style of The Legend of Kora. I know the live action show is cancelled but unapologetically want everything animated anyway. #kratos #fanart #animation #animator #anime #cartoons

I am very hungover today, which sucks, but I still finished up this practice piece. I was listening to the @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social podcast and really got into the flow state with this. Two hours just blinked by and I think it produced something cool. #combat #mma #comicbooks #hero #action

Warm Up #10 I'd actually love to try and be a model for a life drawing class sometime. Looks intimidating, but also so cool and artsy. Plus just cool to get comfortable being nude. For this piece I focused on perspective and took the colours from a La La Land scene. #lifedrawing #nudeart #art

Link I wasn't super happy with the story of Tears of the Kingdom, but dam we were also spoiled with this one. I lost over 200 hours and easily could've played 100 more. It's still one of my favorite game worlds. #legendofzelda #tearsofthekingdom #nintendo #link #skateboarding #gameart

Bryce Quinlin I'm really obsessed with the Crescent City books right now. It's the perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I had to try a character design for Bryce and I'm definitely going to try more. Obviously Hunt will be next. #crescentcity #fanart #characterdesign #fantasyart #sarahjmaas

Absolutely love when my boss; who showed up late without reason, calls me unprofessional for quitting 🙃

Wolverine Decided to try something different to warm up this morning and it was so fun. I just let go and made sure to keep adding whatever I felt this piece needed. I also just love Old man Logan. Probably one of my all time favourites to draw. #xmen #logan #marvel #comics #wolverine #action

Morning warm up #8 Kept this one very loose and quick since I'm pretty short on time this week. Stuck covering peoples holiday hours at work, but still drawing as much as possible. #lifedrawing #ballet #sketchbook #artpractice #artstyle #anatomy #dance

Call it my hot take, but I don't think the late shift manager can tell me what to do when I'm on the early shift. No I will not deep clean the kitchen when I'm up since 4am with one hour to go, and you slept in until 10. #serviceindustry #manager #theaudacity

BMO I miss Adventure Time so much. I hear that the follow on series is meant to come back. Is that true? Or either way I'm needing an adventure cartoon again badly. #adventuretime #bmo #fanart #sketchbook #adorable #finnandjake #comealongwithme #cartoonnetwork

Having kittens is cool but I am suddenly guarding my food as if I'm the runt of this apartment. #hungry #runtliving #kittenhunger #whysofast

Kittens are sleeping on my tablet and of course it's illegal to wake them up, so I just had to draw them instead 🤷 #kittens #adorable #pets #tiny #cats #sketch #draw #catart

Feeling productive and have a 2nd post today! This is a character design for a walk cycle animation. I want to animate a creature and water, so I joined them together! This is a water spirit that has been given a robot machine to walk on land. #characterdesign #animation #walkcycle #fantasy #anime

An ode to hands Just another life drawing warmup that I wanted to turn into something more. Decided to make it creepy and also practice drawing hands some more. #horror #horroranime #bodyhorror #lifedrawing #lighting #comicbooks #manga #anime #artist #animator

Super hot here (37°C out) and it's making them eepy 🥺 Also, maybe this is really obvious, but I learned that wetfood goes off quickly, especially in the heat, and can give them food poisoning!! Putóg (left) was a a bit sick yesterday, puking, and I think it was because he ate bad food 😭

Posting my latest crush just in time for pride. I never understood why everyone was obsessed with Astarion, but after 20 hours I really saw it. I couldn't decide between a red or a blue background, which do you prefer? #bg3 #fanart #pride #astarionfanart #baldursgate3 #fantasy #dnd

Finally finished the linework for this piece. I'm especially happy with how the waves turned out. It was hard to get the timing right for waves out at sea, but I really love this final result. #animationcleanup #linework #queenmaeve #irishfoklore #fairies #waves #sea #seaart #animator

Had to finally update my avatar for social media and it's so intimidating painting your own portrait. This looks a little less like me but fits my current style and personality much better. Now back to animation and fanart! #portait #digitalpainting #art #curlyhair #bighair #animatorforhire

An Sióg Just finished up the character animation on this piece. This was a great exercise to practice a slower shot with the rise and fall of a breath. Now I just have to animate the waves and rain :) #animation #cartoons #anime #2d #traditional #rain #irish #gaeilge #irishanimation

Study #6 I took a little holiday to Berlin last week and really loved the city. Interesting that it's such a divisive 'love it or hate it' kind of place. What is your opinion of Berlin if you've been? Also this was a quick study to get back to work. #berlin #lifedrawing #nudeart #painting #prints

Some sketchbook doodles. Trying to play around with my drawings lately. Wouldn't quite call it design, just trying to make something different with some fantasy inspired by reading the Crescent City series. #fun #art #sketchbook #fantasy #lifedrawing #animatiom

Another quick study... I want to start playing around with these. To hopefully make something unique and weird enough to work as it's own print someday. #lifedrawing #art #prints #nudeart #fantasy

Na síoga ag teacht arais I've been listening to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social and love hearing him talk about Irish folklore, so I just felt inspired to paint a fairy returning through the west Irish sea. #irish #gaeilge #irishfolklore #folklore #comicart #art #irishweather #seaside #painting

So excited to finally share something from this project. This started just as practice animating with perspective and foreshortening but slowly morphed into something more interpretive. Animated in Blender Grease Pencil #2danimation #handdrawn #blender #cherryblossum #anime #realism #draw

The Sink This is a breakdown of a fan animation I made a few months ago now. It was my first 2D animation in over two years so it has some jumps and jiggle to the animation but it was still the perfect warm up. #2danimation #characteranimation #heynothing #fanart #cartoons #retro #compositing

Ok for this I actually just wanted to draw something cheeky while out enjoying the sun last weekend. Hope everyone got to enjoy it too! #cheeky #bussi #artstyle #traditional #nudeart #lifedrawing #funny #butts #sketchbook #drawing

Another warm up sketch/painting before animating. I'm really using these as an excuse to practice new painting techniques and this is by far my favourite so far. Really want to make some fanart for #crescentcity in this style. #nudeart #lifedrawing #drawingpractice #artist

Todays morning study before animating. It's labour day here in Germany so I probably won't get too much work done, but I'm very happy with this warm up drawing this morning. I really love this tyle and definitely need to make more fanart like this. #nudeart #lifedrawing #drawing #artstyle #artist

The White Rabbit Really loved watching Devil May Cry last weekend so I just had to do some studies of the white rabbit. The animation in particular really blew me away in this one. Studio Mir are incredible. #animation #devilmaycry #fanart #anime #animeart

Warm Up life drawing Just drew this quickly this morning as a warm up before I start animating. Really enjoying playing around with me art style and various brushes on this. #lifedrawing #realism #artstyle #anatomy #bodybuilder #nudeart

Hike Painted this pretty quickly as a study exercise. Trying to focus on perspective and also practice more painting again. I actually hope to try and make an animation out of this next. Hopefully that works out! #digitalart #painting #art #style #walk #outfit #colourful
