happy terrible comic day, i am feeling maternal towards the boiled one . #terriblecomicday #theboiledone

shitty 4 panel comic read from left>right, top>bottom. panel 1, self portrait sits on couch with pillow. "oh shit right terrible comic day." panel 2, hand holding phone closeup. it is 11 pm. "what is boiled one" on web search. boiled one drawn from memory on bottom of screen. panel 3, self portrait holds up cat-sized boiled one quizzically, it squeaks loudly when squeezed. panel 4, self and spouse in bed, looking at boiled one asleep happily at the foot.

*loud honking noises* . #tattoo #deinonychus #dinosaur #paleoart

photo of a tattoo on a pale thigh. a deinonychus in iridescent pinks, purples, blues and greens leaps, wing arms up and head leaning down, over a falling, supine rendering of a deinonychus skeleton in the same color palette.

My Trungo Army grows......

blue j 🐛illustration + tattooing@bluedotjpeg.bsky.social · 4mo ago

oh yeah babey it's Trungo Time. thank you so much @ascalaphid.com for this project it was so fun! . #sculpture #polymerclay #ocart #commission

Glamour shot of a sculpture in polymer clay and resin on a black wooden base. The sculpture is of Trungo, a humanoid character with 4 arms, clear wings, and a radially symmetrical head of fly faces. Trungo is teetering backward on one leg, holding 3 different alcoholic beverages and a cigarette. His trunk-like mouths and bulbous red eyes convey a series of expressions, all indicating drunkenness. He wears a touseled white button up, red tie, blue knit short sleeved jumper, brown slacks and leather shoes.

Another angle of Trungo. He is viewed from the side at an intense angle, the focus on a hand holding a glass of red wine perilously close to spilling, while one of his mouths reaches for the glass.

A close up shot of Trungo showing him tipping a small glass of amber liquid into one of his mouths.

A shot of Trungo from behind, showing his back pockets, where his wings connect into his back, and a mouth raised jubilantly into the air.

happy Neil Banging Out The Tunes Day . #illustration #neilbangingoutthetunes #rat #painting #fantasyart

a painting of Neil, the hairless rat, as a rockstar tumbling through a purple space. He plays a small purple toy keyboard, which glows pink and leaves a commet trail behind it. Neil wears rockstar accessories; funky yellow cheese-shaped shades, two earrings, and rings around his tail.

digital line sketches of comedian Chris Fleming in a series of expressive and comical poses. the only text is above a very loosely sketched, tiny rendering of them crouched animalistically over a microphone: "SETH MEYERS"

rest in piss to my personal enemy, the Dilbert Man, whom i swore to outlive. you filled the tumblr tag of my teenage special interest with conservative fetish diatribes, and your facism worship did not save you.

happy Hogswatch everyone, my spouse and i made ornaments . #discworld #hogfather

close up image of sculpted ornament amongst pine boughs and rainbow christmas lights. it is the head of Death from Discworld, a skeleton with glowing blue eyes in a rugged Santa hood and obviously fake beard, with hooks attaching it to his cheekbones. He faces out to the right at a 3/4 angle.

2 sculpted ornaments hanging next to each other in a tree. On the right is Death, and on the left is a full-body Death of Rats.

A shot of Death facing straight, held dangling in front of a hand. It is small, about 2 inches at its longest point.

The hand holding Death, this time facing 3/4s left, so the stitching on his hood is visible.

feminine ideal . #imaginativerealism #fairy #illustration

a young, thin, green fairy woman lounges on a rocky outcropping in a fantasy world with floating mountains in the background. she has 4 iridescent, pink-veined wings on her back and 10 small wings growing from her head. she has an enormously long tongue, which winds around her arm to collect blood dripping from a dismembered male head suspended by tongue tendrils over her hand. the man is in his fifties, has white skin, fine blond hair, and blood trickling from his eyes and mouth

at least in fiction AIs are people choosing evil on purpose (sexy and fun). really disheartening to lose all hope in a good future bc of the idiot plagiarism machinations of The Worst Guy You Ever Dated.

painting digital again?? maybe?? this committee went soooo quick painted on my phone

a warcraft forest troll seen in 3/4 view, shoulders-up. He is green-skinned, muscular, with simple geometric torso tattoos, long ears and nose, and tusks curling up from his bottom jaw. his nose is tattooed black, as are strips of skin from hairline over eyes to cheeks. He has a tall red mohawk with long braids trailing off the sides. His eyes glow orange, and he smiles maniacally at the viewer.

listen pal i don't care how "great and powerful" you are, that thing is at least a dozen segments over street legal, and it just destroyed a crate of good seasonal fruit! made for @ascalaphid.com 's latest Art Telephone game, more info below Prints: www.artbyblue.com/store/that-t...

A large acrylic painting showing a busy city street populated by anthropomorphic insects. The scene takes place in the lower city, while the richer and more pristine upper city extends up the mountain in the background. It is late afternoon/early evening, and the colors are dramatic, with warm light and sharp cool shadows. At the center of the image, a yellow weevil in wizard robes and hat rides a massive, rearing millipede. He shrugs dramatically at an angry wasp on the ground in front of his steed, whose hands are raised antagonistically. A few feet away, on the ground, is a spilled crate of red fruits. Many insect onlookers watch on from street level, balconies, and flying above.

The Beneficence of Magic . #fantasyart #illustration #painting #beaniebabies #magic #dragon

An acrylic painting on paper. In the foreground two children of fantasy races - a blonde, pale skinned halfling boy with large ears and rabbit-like digitigrade legs, and a dark skinned girl with pointed ears, wings, and a dark afro - run over a grassy, misty hill, holding hands looking into the distance. In the middle ground, climbing another misty hill, this one steeper and rockier and more in shadow, are three additional figures. Two, a large adult tiefling and a small human child, have reached the summit and are waving into the distance. The third, an elf child, holds on to a dead tree to hoist herself over some rocks that block her path. Over several misty mountain tops, half illuminated by the morning sun and half in cool atmospheric shadow, once a path that caps at the ruined wall of a large abandoned city at the top of the highest peak. An enormous Magic the Dragon Ty Beanie Baby sits in the gate, perched on/in the city like a nest. She has 3 baby Magics, 2 on her body and 1 further away, perched on a building around the side of the mountain. She us so far away and so large, her color is hazily blue from distance and mist, except a few sharp points of light where the low sun catches her. She bends her head down to look at the waving figures

oh hey #portfolioday ! i'm blue, an illustrator and tattooer looking for work! books, albums, or concepting, i love everything scifi & fantasy (especially dragons, apparently!) www.artbyblue.com

imaginative realism acrylic painting. a jungle at sunset. a chubby warrior woman with dark skin wearing only skimpy metal armor lounges in a mossy tree. on the ground rests a massive Jellycat Snow Dragon with earrings of similar metal.

imaginative realism acrylic painting. in late afternoon light, a young boy with tan skin and brown hair sits hunched sadly, resting his hand on the massive head of an elderly dragon, who looks up at him sympathetically.

imaginative realism acrylic painting. a group of travelers of fantasy races, mostly children, climb misty mountains to catch the attention of a massive Ty Beanie Baby Magic the Dragon, who had made a nest of a ruined mountaintop city. her young perch around her.

imaginative realism acrylic painting. an upward shot of warped perspective, showing a nightclub lit all in pink. Chappell Roan dances euphorically in an angel costume heavily resembling Christine Daaé 's nightgown in the Phantom of the Opera musical. patrons of the club in the audience behind her resemble other characters from the musical. Above her, on an otherwise empty balcony, is a butch Phantom, lit from below by a strip of red LEDs.
