salt air & light through canvas || #risograph #art

illustration risograph print of the shadow of a sailor behind a mast. Off to the side, the sailor's sun-reddened hand grabs a rope against a blue sky. They cast a vibrant periwinkle shadow against the white mast. The sun shines from behind them, through the mast in a burst of patterned color. The piece has an ornate border on two sides. One shows the tide coming in, the other depicts the stages of tying a bowknot. You get the feeling there's something vaguely homoerotic about all this nonsense.

afternoon at the river ♦ #witchhatatelier #art

digital illustration of several characters from Witch Hat Atelier at rest. The characters rest in the blue shade of a tree by a river bank. In the distance, the top of the atelier peeks over a hill. Qifrey sits at the top reading a book, foot entwined with the root of the nearby tree. At the river bank, Coco releases a paper boat with a paper flag bearing a magic sigil. Richeh, Tetia, and brush buddy watch with interest. Agott was reading, but can't help looking down as well. The witches' white robes drape gracefully over the patterned, multicolor rocks. The piece has a decorative gold border with various witchy patterns: moons, branches, trees. The top of the piece is framed with side portraits of custas and olruggio.

Happy World Ocean Day! 🌊|| #art

risograph print illustration of the stages of whale fall, aka the stages in which a whale's corpse decays. The illustration is shapes and contained within the silhouette of an ornate, gothic cathedral window, which each stage being separated from the next by the window's vertical struts.

The top most shows the whale's tail fin alive & in motion, splash along the ocean's surface. The next panel is labeled mobile scavengers stage. The whale begins to sink, mid-sized scavengers--like small sharks and eels--bite at it's flesh and blood comes out in ribbons.

The second stage is labeled enrichment opportunist. The whale's carcass has been chewed partially open, revealing ribs. Crabs, worms, sea stars, and urchins nibble at it. As it descends, the water around it continues to grow darker.

The third stage is labeled sulfophilic stage. The whale has been chewed down to a skeleton, is covered in small crustations, and is a sulfur yellow.

The final stage is labeled reef stage. The whale is now crumbled, scattered pieces of bone. #goals

The title in the middle reads "The Ocean's Most Toxic". venomous and poisonous sea creatures are arranged around it: including pufferfish, lionfish, stonefish, many jellyfish, several sea snakes, several sea snails, a cuttlefish, and an octopus.

Cetacea

Digital Drawing. An early whale (Pakicetus) stands at the water's edge, bending down for a drink. Behind it is a wall of tall grasses/reeds. The entire scene is shown within the shape of a blue whale. Despite the vast gulf in form and time between the two animals, they are of the same group: Cetacea.

Did you hear about the glass coffin maiden? ✨ my piece for @storyindungeon #dungeonmeshi

ID: Picture is a vibrant, ornate illustration featuring characters from the Delicious in Dungeon anime. The illustration is framed by two leaping animals: a boar, bleeding from a wound in it's side, and a stag with blood-tipped antlers.

Inner scene depicts a ornate stone hallway, framed by an arch, we see Marcille in a pageboy tunic on bended knee, holding the hand of a pleased, luminous Falin, who sits upright in a glass coffin in a white feather dress. The coffin is etched with dragon detailing. Behind Falin stand Laios in armor, looking weary but content, holding a bleeding antler.

The antler thing will really only make sense if you're familiar with the Grimm brother's glass coffin. Anyways a evil wereboar magician locks a maiden in a coffin and turns her brother into a stag. Stag kills boar, wandering hero frees maidan. Everybody lives happily ever after. Except for the wizard, who is dead. /end ID

The space between all things. Everything dances in #Iceland. The place where the planet smells freshly baked. If the earth doesn't knock you down with its swaying, the wind will. The only way to stay upright is through dance.

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish 🥲.
