In the interest of sharing a bit more, have a horse I doodled on a flight home yesterday 😊

Caraid @caraid.bsky.social · 6d ago

I feel a bit bad for how little I have to share these days. With the advance of generative AI and the general state of the world I lost a lot of motivation to engage in social media but also to invest in my art beyond what's practically necessary.

"Blex, Loafing Pest" for Secrets of Strixhaven!

A traditional illustration done in acrylics featuring Blech. Blech is a pest, a creature that exists on the plane of Strixhaven. Pests come in many shapes and sizes, often looking like something of a mix between reptiles, amphibians and grubs. Blech is a particularly large, chunky pest of mostly red and green coloring with a white underbelly. He has bright red eyes, many teeth and spines and is lazily lounging on a moss covered branch, surrounded by various small creatures of the forest.

The Nap || 20x21cm || coloured pencils PRINTS: www.inprnt.com/gallery/augu... || www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1780... || www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8703... __ #art #fox #fantasy #dragon

A coloured pencil illustration of a fox dragon with bird wings, who's napping on the forest floor. Its tongue sticks out, it's crossing its legs so you can't say which is where (front paws in back, back paws in front) and it's sleeping so soundly that several (4) sparrows are hanging out around it unbothered. One of them is even pulling fur from its mane!

Beanie baby commission from August for @caraid.bsky.social of her gorgeous lynx character of the same name! I had so much fun bringing the lovely gal to life, she has the prettiest design. 🥰

My four Lorwyn Eclipsed paintings (because it's fun to see them together like this)!

And finally "Subterfuge", the fourth card I did for the Lorwyn Eclipsed set!

A traditional illustration featuring a Lorwyn elemental. Lorwyn elementals are hybrids made up of all kinds of different animals and shapes, in this case the head of a dolphin, forearms of an iguana, body of a dolphin, body and wings of a dragonfly, body and wings of a bird and the tail of a dolphin. We see the creature partially under and partially out of the water as it breaches the surface.

"Flock Impostor" for the Lorwyn Eclipsed set!

A traditional illustration featuring a changeling, a shapeshifter creature in the world of Lorwyn. In the image, the changeling has taken the rough shape of a bird, poorly mimicking the birds that surround it as it has kept its distinctive Changeling face with huge forward facing yellow eyes, and its entire body is blue. The changeling is looking directly at the viewer with an uncanny smile as the birds around it look either mildly confused or pretend not to notice the obvious impostor.

Ashling, Rekindled and Rimebound, for the Lorwyn Eclipsed set!

Traditional illustration featuring Ashling, a humanoid fire elemental dancing on a rock in a forest creek in Lorwyn. In the background we see small waterfalls and a lush forest. A magical rock floats just above the water behind her.

A traditional illustration with digital edits, featuring Ashling in her Rimebound form. She is in Shadowmoor, where her physical form is twisted and her fire turns blue.

"The Shapeshifter's Demise" - 2019, mechanical pencil, 11×17. Commissioned by GinaTheHyena, the characters belong to them

A grayscale mechanical pencil drawing of an anthro hyena battling a shapeshifter in the shape of an owlbear. Roots spring up from the ground to strike the owlbear. In the distance, beyond the dense forest canopy, ancient ruins can be seen.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

HOPE (1997) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 13” x 10” Ammonites have always been meant as a personal form of “memento mori” symbols in my art. They are cautionary reminders of our impermanence. 1/3

A woman in flowing robes stands on a mound of rock. In front of her, large ammonite fossils stack, unevenly fused together by coral. The s-shaped formation blocks vibrant blue night sky, but the ammonites are ancient and deteriorating. The woman holds a hand to her chest as she stares through the eroded spiral center to witness a bright shining star.

Reposting with alt text since this is going around again!

Two panel comic in black and white. In the first panel, a bunny sits in the grass, surrounded by sparkles and flowers, on a white background. The second panel zooms in on the bunny's face and the background is black, with white text handwritten in all caps on it: "TOUCHING GRASS ISN'T ENOUGH, I NEED MONEY"

Signature: SLEEPIMALI (and the year the comic was made, 2023)

Here is the full illustration! This wraps around the Feral Flame dust jackets. Incredible work by @caraid.bsky.social. Also, how come so many people haven’t noticed the wolf in the painting? #NossSaga #BookSky

A one-horned buffalo holds her hands forward to control a green flame shaped like a running wolf. Her brown fur is draped with long white fabrics that flow in the wind and blend into the pink mist behind her. Her horn is decorated with golden caps and rings, her nose and ears pierced. Her green eyes stare directly at the viewer. Around her are terraced hot springs and erupting geysers, creating placid pools in which five bovid figures are bathing. A white-capped volcano looms in the distance.
