Damona, meaning "Divine Cow", was a Celtic fertility goddess often worshiped at healing springs. She was often associated with the cow (hence her cute little cow horns), as well as other animals like sheep. In one source I found, worshippers would sometimes sleep at her temple in the hopes that Damona would visit them and heal their illnesses.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined in the draw-a-long stream on Friday!! I had so much fun with you guys! Here is my finished mermaid from the tutorial! She's a little rough but this tutorial is a fun one to follow! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, I recommend it. It is super quick and chill!
Hi Pals! Here is a full Time-lapse Video w/music for the piece: Mirror Mermaid
I started working on this piece a couple weeks ago live on stream and made it mostly through the lineart phase, the rest I finished on my own. I really like how the initial rough sketch looked and even t...
It has been FOREVER since I participated in a DTIYS so this was fun to work on! We started working on MadieArts DTIYS on Stream last time and I finally got around to finishing it! I hope you like her!
Challenges like this are fun for those times when I kinda want to turn my brain off a little bit and just draw something. You just get to take a fun design that som...
Hi Pals! Here is a full Time-lapse Video w/music for the piece: Pond Mermaid
You'll see in this timelapse that I flip flop back and forth on whether she should have a dark background or a light background. I ended up going with the dark background because I felt like she stood out ...
Hi hi! I'm back from a whirlwind business trip and its time to cast your votes for the June sticker!!

A pearly elf to practice some colors. She started as just a doodle but I just couldn't stop painting her tonight!
I was really inspired by more high-key color schemes lately but they scare me! lol So here is my first step into tring SLIGHTLY more high key colors in my work.
Also, I started this sketch on my lunch break at work, and forgot to turn on the timel...

A little Slice of pond with a mermaid! It feels good to finish a mermaid artwork for mermay!
I haven't really done much isometric or 'slice' styles of artwork (I'm not even sure if that's exactly what you would call it) but I absolutely love looking at it! It is also a good way to practice doing a little bit of scenery with a character without commiting to full background!...
Here is a casual tutorial on how I approach drawing foxes! I was going to group foxes and wolves together but decided to go ahead and separate out foxes and wolves into their own separate tutorials so that this one doesn't get too long.
Anyhoo I hope it helps! I'll admit that I am not an animal expert so how I approach sketching animals is heavily reliant on reference,...
Hallo Pals! Help me pick this month's mythology art!
In honor of Mermay, we have some water-themed goddesses!
Edit: Typo alert. "Geltic" is supposed to be "Celtic"

Here is a full Time-lapse Video w/music for the piece: Ruins
It's been a while since drawing Mist, and I was in the mood to paint a stone wall! lol I know it sounds weird but painting a stone wall with the water wet watercolor brush is so satisfying to me! I have attach...
Mist seems to have stumbled into some castle ruins tucked away in the forest. Also, this little red birb has appeared again!
I'm not planning on participating in any specific mermay challenges this year but I do have a few mermaid pieces planned for this month!
I was also think that it would be fitting to make the mythology piece for this month thematic, like s...

Am I obsessed with branches and branch horns and hair getting caught in branches? Maybe I am! Drawing branches and hair is soothing to me! Here is a little dryad who I drew on stream and tried to use as a bit of a color experiment.
I have been really inspired lately by artwork that uses some faded colors, especially in shadows, so I have been trying to experiment ...

Here is a full Time-lapse Video w/music for the piece: Isis
I struggled a bit with this piece, so you'll see in the time-lapse that the pose changes quite a bit as well as the colors.
When I first drew her pose it felt too stiff, so I a...

A li'l soft and spicy piece for you! This is the piece I did for the latest tutorial: How I draw "tasteful" NSFW Artwork
Wince this was just a drawing as a demo, I don't really know much about this character. Is she also a goddess, or demi-goddess or maybe just a cozy lass chillin' at home? E...
Hello! In this tutorial I go over the principals and processes that I think about when I tackle drawing NSFW artwork, specifically "tasteful" soft NSFW artwork! Hopefully Youtube will be okay with this video and it will stay up!
Obvious warning: this video will contain depictions of nudity, but I think for the most part it is just drawn or painted nudity...

Time for another relaxing Lineart heavy portrait! While I do like the color scheme of this piece, I love the lineart so much that there is a big part of me that was tempted to just leave it at lineart and not include the color.
What do you guys think? Which version appeals to you the most: Finished Colors, Flat Colors, Lineart, or filled in with one solid color? I...
