I decided to bulk-post Starstitcher pages instead of updating once I finished one page, but I suppose the chapter cover arts are a good exception to the rule (am I actually actively working on this? It would seem so??)

🗡️Starstitcher page 1 & 2

sharing my OCs related to already existing media is always super embarrassing for me, but I'm also really happy with how this turned out so I'll just leave my WHA oc without much commentary here byeeee

One new panel for Starstitcher

I upgraded my brushes and textures archive with some products from www.truegrittexturesupply.com and immediately found some nice brushes to shade the space backgrounds with. I'm still planning to handpaint most of the bigger pieces, but it's a good mix of digital and analog like this.

ngl I'm living for my ocher colored background haha, it's just the mask so I can distinguish between the front and back but I kinda love it 😂

some more sketches for Captain Then and Machus 👍

Just a quick sketch of Starstitcher's marine uniforms.

starting off this year with some early character work for a story I've been working on. I had the name and background down pretty early on, but thought I'd need longer for the design and then he just happened.

♥️♥️♥️

Cutest Xmas gift from @calypsosky.bsky.social was this amazing artwork of K‘leo 🥺 love everything about it 🩷🩷🩷

I had exactly 8 drawings for this lmao but hey, at least I don't see a decline of skill comparing it to my 2024 version. 😬 I'll take it. #artvsartist #artvsartist2024

I'm kind of dreading doing the artvsartist trend for this year simply because I don't want to see just how little I actually put together in 2025 😬 so instead I just continue working on this for now #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #manga

will I ever figure out why the drive to draw hits me whenever I'm already absolutely overwhelmed with work and life? no? cool cool. #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #manga

it's a wip! (isn't everything) #illustration #originalcharacter #comic #manga

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

an updated version #illustration #originalcharacter #drawing

I cooked tonight #illustration #originalcharacter #drawing

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

"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

"𝘐’𝘮 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘩, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺?" Aster combines my love for Sailor Moon and vampires.😏 #dnd #illustration #dndart #originalcharacter #drawing

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. 😂

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

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
