✨New Art//Samhain Slumber

⁤On the night of All Hallow's Eve, when the veil between worlds grows thin, spiritsᅳwhether the souls of the departed or the mischievous faeᅳmay slip into the mortal realm. ⁤⁤To ward off dark forces that might stir, mortals wear costumes and masks, and carve grim faces into jack-o'-lanterns.

⁤⁤Amidst ghoulish decore and garb, fiery feasts and revelr...

✨New Art//Astarion: The Pale Elf

I don't know that I'll do all of the BG3 characters but I had to at least do a portrait of Astarion in a similar style as the recent Shadowheart piece.

In my BG3 playthrough I romanced Astarion but made terrible choices because I'm a people pleaser! I won't go into details but I wouldn't call my ending a happy one. lol

Anyhoo, it is vampire season, so Astarion is perfect...

✨Art//Starlit Soul

Hi lovelies!

Here is a piece that we started during work-with-me stream over on Twitch!

  At the time I was frustrated because I had just lost a bunch of work and decided to just draw something random and fun to feel better. Maybe I was trying to absorb some of the calm that she has! haha

Anyhoo, I ended up really loving the drawing, particularly the linework in her ...

✨Art//Mist Nouveau

Combining Art Nouveau with Mist? Yes please!

I've had this idea in mind for a while! I wanted to take a classic Mucha artwork and redraw it with Mist as the main subject. I felt like she would fit so well with the flowy style! Such a fun exercise!

I also added in some little details that hint at her affinity towards ponds and lagoons into the circular frame desig...

✨New Art//Shadowheart: Daughter of Darkness

I feel super late to be doing Baldur's Gate 3 fanart, BUT I've been thinking of drawing Shadowheart for about a year. Then I was inspired to experiment with a kind of weird color scheme that I thought could fit her. So here she is!!

I know everyone has their own preference, but I love dark-haired shadowheart with bangs. I think I wouldn't mind the white-haired version either if I installe...

✨New Art//Autumn Equinox

As the wheel of the year turns towards the golden and orange days of fall, daylight and night come into perfect balance at the autumn equinox, known as Mabon. A crispness creeps into the air, and the crunch of fallen leaves signal its arrival. It is a time for gathering the harvest, gratitude, and preparation for the sleepy winter months ahead.

✨Art Pack 85//Rewards and Tutorial Index

Hello my dears! It is time for Art Pack 85's summary and the updated Index!

The artwork this month felt very self-indulgent, which was very needed! Sometimes, you really need to just let loose and draw exactly what you feel like to help reignite the spark of joy and creativity, especially if all of life's obligations have been keeping you busy!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you...
