I know there's a typo, but it'll be fixed the next time I sit down to draw, so for now, live with the portait please 😂 #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #manga

I am working on something and as always I will not adhere to time invested or size of the project because deep down I know I hardly ever finish anything and I just want to have fun sjkdfhdks but I *am* working on something

I always overload my illustrations but it is what it is #illustration #OCs #originalcharacter #fantasyart #comic

I deep-cleaned my bathroom, finished my cosplay, finished a game, finished a book, watched the last movie in a series *and* finished the lineart for this today. idk what happened.

cries in cables

I think I found my new favorite brush to draw outlines with ☺️

this is going to take a hot minute, because I plan to draw the horse as a gundam/animal hybrid

an updated version #illustration #originalcharacter #drawing

I cooked tonight #illustration #originalcharacter #drawing

in my head this turns into a series, but I'm also a realistic person. 🫠 Ahlrun and Spectre, with Ahlrun's home Espenberg, the capital of the Vermeilon Empire in the background. #illustration #OCs #originalcharacter #fantasyart #comic

today something completely different! I'm blessed to have amazing friends with (arguably more) amazing dogs that also make great birthday presents as illustrations. #1 is @tabletobrpg.itch.io and @herbstlaubliebe.bsky.social baby, #2 is part of the @federstaub.bsky.social family. #illustration

I really thought I was putting the design together for a new character while drawing her and then it dawned on me. And just to test it out, I drew the forehead tattoo and turns out it's just an old character from 5 years ago, I can't escape from my own lore

sir I love her

"far up North, beyond Vermeilone's reach, lies Festental, its snowy mountaintops not yet soaked in crimson." #illustration #fantasyart #drawing #landscape

I haven't really been able to get in a lot of practice and now I'm just stuck in one of those relearning everything phases, so here's some sketches I've done in the last few days. #illustration #sketch #OC #fantasyart

ok ok ok

I'm forcing myself to use a different brush for the outlines. That usually ends in frustration and unfinished drawings, we'll see how it goes this time sdfsdk

am dreading the background #wip #dnd #illustration

standard reference is standard reference but sometimes it's still a good reference #wip #illustration #dnd

Finally done with the first piece of 2025. Since I love consistency, I'll have to draw a cover like this for every other expansion... (when the time comes...) . . . #illustration #fanart #FFXIV #FF14 #finalfantasy

Don't get used to daily updates

100%, I forgot to turn the clouds back on before saving this oTL

The linework is 60% done 😵‍💫

I'm sorting through my old hard drives and found two pages from 2018 (maybe) that I never uploaded. It puts how much I've improved into perspective, but also they still kind of slap. #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #manga

I'm slowly creeping towards the end of ARR in my FFXIV fanfic (archiveofourown.org/works/385652...) and as I've planned to print every expansion as a book for myself, it must come with a cover, naturally. The second picture shows what's still left to draw, so you can imagine the dimensions.

I honestly thought I wouldn't get enough drawings together to fill this completely because it felt like I did NOTHING this year, but I guess I was wrong? #artvsartist #artvsartist2024

Page 1 of maybe 4. Who knows. Not me. . . . #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #fantasy #manga

I wasn't lying about working on something shfksd I'm also "working" on Dragon Age: The Veilguard though. 🫠 And since these pages will never belong to a bigger project, I'm putting a lot of effort into the details in every panel, that takes time too.

For years I've been trying to come up with a ship for Ahlrun and nothing ever really stuck or felt right for her. Turns out she's gay. Of course that idea would only hit me 7 years after coming up with her, it's not like she's my creation or anything. Expect art soon. 😌

Hi I'm Sabrina and I offer commissions! Feel free to check out my carrd (calypsosky.carrd.co), it has my prices, examples and info. DMs are open if you want to get in touch. 💗 Another couple examples below!

I don't often get personal on my art account (because I'm not good at keeping more than one social media account alive 😂), but I do want to speak about my journey and decisions as an artist in the last few years because I think they might be relevant to recent times or in general just good to hear.

I had the pleasure to work on Mailu, @alexnun.bsky.social's OC. From what I had seen of her before, she's always radiated a certain gentleness so I tried to put a lot of emphasis on the softness in her features. . . . #illustration #originalcharacter #fantasyart #drawing

my mere goal with this is make you want to read a comic that doesn't exist . . . #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #fantasy #manga

I know there is no way I would be able to find the time to work on an actual comic, but I am having fun putting together 'fake' pages right now. I do miss the time when I could throw together a full comic page in 2 hours though and not one miserable panel in the same time. 😂

Color theory practice with Brenna and Aster, @en-writes.bsky.social and my OCs. . . . #dndart #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #originalcharacter #illustration

I originally had a more water-color look in mind, but decided to go for the simplier style instead. . . . #OC #ocart #illustration

#wip while I'm currently rebuilding and rewriting the world of Irium, it was only a matter of time until I'd return to Ahlrun.

Means I can take more breaks from it -- the wrong takeaway.

Whenever I don't draw for a long period of time (due to work or other hobbies) I always fear I'll have gotten worse at it. And every time I've improved. Might be that I'm able to judge my skills with less bias after taking a break or that drawing isn't something I will forget how to do at this rate.

I've finally adjusted to being a working adult again (vacation was a dream, free time isn't real) and I'm able to have fun with my hobbies the few free hours this capitalistic world blesses me with - anyway, fluffy tail or no??? #FFXIVART #warrioroflight #miqote #FF14 #fanart

the next #wip. We're back on working on Irium, my magnus opus

I drew this for @alisahdawn.bsky.social 's birthday. ♥ . . . #ffxiv #ffxivart #wol #warrioroflight #ffxivfanart

I do so love twitter/bsky messing with the structures, but eh. 🤷‍♀️ lond past are the days of me struggling with compression. . . . #dndart #illustration #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #originalcharacter

I am alive I swear #wip

slams this on the table I can't look at it anymore, so you have to #FFXIV #FFXIVart #exarch #grahatia #shadowbringers #fanart #warrioroflight #illustration

Another update on this

I started this months ago but I actually haven't forgotten!
