Afternoon Tea in the Greenhouse

How about little bit of light magical reading while enjoying a little tea break in the green house?  Sounds like a dream to me!


Well this one got WAY AWAY from me!  "Draw something simple and relaxing," my brain said.  "It'll be quick and fun," my brain said.  HAH!

To be honest, this one felt like it wasn't coming together for MO...

Golden Witch

I have been really digging the gold, orangish and teal kind of color schemes lately!  I have been really wanting to do more of a pinup-style witch, so here she is!  I hope you like her!  

This witch bae is kinda goals.  She seems like a sexy and confident woman, plus she has some wicked tattoos, and she looks like she can handle herself.  Oh yeah, and magic. &...

Chill Process Video (Fairy Ball)

Good morning!!   Here is the promised process video for this piece.  I sped the process up to 16x speed.  

Usually, I speed the process up to 32x or 64x, but thought you might be interested in a slightly longer video to chill to. 

Let me know if you like the longer video or if you'd prefer ...

Midnight Spell (SimzArt DTIYS)

Nothing like a little bit of midnight witchery while hanging out with your cat familiars... or maybe they are just cats... either way.. what a life!? :D

Not gonna lie, this one was kind of a challenge for me but super fun!  Interior environments are not my strong suit and I have A LOT of improving to do, but this was a good first step of trying it out. 

I know a couple of...

Fairy Ball (The Folk of the Air)

I'm not sure if any of you are into reading YA Fantasy buuut I recently read through the Folk of the Air Trilogy by Holly Black and can't stop thinking about it. 

 I also can't get the description of the main character's horned hairstyle out of my head.  lol.  So here's a quick-ish portrait of her!

 This one came out feeling really anime-ish to me f...

Through the Dark

Lavellan wandered this dark, cold place between reality and dreams searching.  Searching for him.  

Sometimes she swore she could feel his eyes watching from the shadows.   This dark and magical place was his domain.   Logically, she knew if he didn't wish to be found, it was highly unlikely that she would ever reach him.  ...

Mini-Tutorial: Simple Lips

After a little discussion with someone in discord, I felt inspired to create a quick mini tutorial.

1. Center of mouth

2. Corners of mouth

3. Connect corners and center with thin line. Draw line to indicate bottom of lower lip.

4. Lightly draw shape of top lip. Doesn’t have to reach the edge of the mouth. Shape can vary depending on what type of lips you are...

Witches [WIP/Sketches]

I have a couple Witchy WIPs for you today!!  

The first image is part of SimzArt's DTIYS that's going on right now.  His DTIYS is so beautiful but more complicated than the typical challenge since it is kind of a whole illustration rather than just a character.  Buuuuut considering how I have been trying to do more full scenes like that and considering how ...

Dark Water {NSFW Warning} [WIP]

I wanted to paint something a little more serious and seductive of Mist.  Here is the sketch so far!  

I wish I could work on it over the twitch stream but ehem!  That would be a quick ban on my channel!  I'll have to come up with something else to work on tonight.  lol

Ebba: 1st Encounter (Warning: Blood in 3rd image)

What started as another mundane afternoon guarding the princess had quickly turned into a  perilous situation. Ebba had only been assigned as Princess Victoria's Personal Guard for a little over a week and she had started to wonder if the true purpose of her post was just to keep the princess company and deal with her constant teasing. 

She should have noti...

Pixie Walk

Oh y'know, just a pixie taking her pixie pup out for a walk through the countryside of the magical Kingdom of Bluebell.  

Honestly, I am not 100% satisfied with how this one came out but I really love the idea and am thinking it would be a good one to revisit again a little later, maybe in a few weeks as a redraw.  But because I really like the idea and I am ready to m...

Monthly Tips Article Poll

 Hi pals! Its time to vote on this month's tips/advice article!  

I also have an idea to eventually convert articles I have already written into video format.  As you know though, video editing takes me a bunch of time, so I wouldn't be able to both write a new article and make a video at the same time.  So I tossed that option into the poll in case any of you are mor...

I took a little bit of time today on my breaks to work on this draw this in your style piece, and I think she turned out pretty cute.  The oc is by Lord Gris.

Something I started a bit randomly tonight.
It started off as just a portrait sketch but then I thought, "Hey!  Maybe she's a fairy!"  Then "Maybe she wears sneakers!"  Then, "What if she also has a cute fairy dog!"  then "Maybe there will be a CASTLE in the background!"
