🎬Speedpaint//Artemis

A little about the process:

✨New Art//Artemis

In the glow of the moonlight, Artemis, Lunar Goddess of the forest and the hunt, treads through the undergrowth of the wilderness, at peace in her wild home, far removed and comfortably distant from the realm of the other gods of Olympus.

Well hello again Artemis, so good to see you again!🏹

  I had so much fun working on this new artwork of Ar...

Time to Help decide the next tutorial!!  🌸

  • Sketching like a Sculptor in this tutorial, I'll take you through my process of digital sketching.  The way I sketch is very loose and involves both building up the sketch as well as carving away from the sketch to find the drawing underneath.  It is a bit of an odd way to work, but I find...

✨New Art//Necromancer

In the dim glow of eerie emerald light, the necromancer stood, her delicate fingers cradling the weathered skull of someone long lost as underworldly magic danced across her skin and her raven hair billowed like smoke around her pale face.

I hope you all had a FABULOUS Halloween!  I of course am never done with drawing spoopy goth queens, even after Hallowe...

✨New Art//Arcane Awakening


The sweet scent of incense tickled Isobel's senses, and the soft chanting of magical words inscribed on the aged pages of the book of power enveloped her. She began to drift into a trance, her eyes closing as a cool breeze ruffled her hair. Immersed in absorbing the secret knowledge, she no longer felt the cold. Time ceased to register, and after what might have been a f...

✨New Art//Death

Silent as the grave, she moves through the mists of time and space, harvesting departed souls, severing the lingering cords that tie them to the world of the living with a quick swing of her scythe.  The newly untethered spirits, cling to her, lady death, their guide to the world beyond.

Edit: Just giving you a heads up ...

🎨TUTORIAL//Drawing Female Bodytypes

✨This tutorial is all about drawing female bodytypes!  I'm especially excited for this tutorial because I, myself, tend to fall back on drawing very similar body types as a default, as I think many artists do, when in reality, there is so much variety and giving more variety to our character's body types makes them more unique and distinguishable!  ...

✨New Art//Lilith{NSFW warning on some images}

Lilith, Goddess or Mother of Demons, embodies both the untamed essence of femininity and defiance against societal norms, challenging conventions and embracing independence.

Lilith isn't always who I first think of when I imagine mythological goddesses, but after a number of people requested her over the years, I decided to do some digging and learn more about h...

✨New Art//The Reunification of Orpheus and Eurydice

The once-anguished notes of Orpheus's music finally fell silent to the mortal realm, his heartbroken melodies giving way to the stillness of the realm of the dead.

Eurydice, her eyes glinting with a contradiction of anger and joy, drew near to Orpheus's sundered spirit. She seized his robes, pulling him close, and with a...
