Artists, show how you paint stars! ✨

A drawn image with an art nouveau style frame. A person with blue hair with a yellow streak is drawing. They are wearing a yellow turtleneck and dark grey pants. The background in the bottom half is bespeckled with stars from which two hands are hilding the character in a carry. From their drawing hand, streaks of color are swirling upwards connecting them to a dark blueish black swallow dividing the image in a diagonal. Above the swallow the sun is rising or setting behind colorful clouds. To the left there is a quote from the minecraft end poem: "and the universe said I love you because you are love." Below the image a text says "The Dreamer".

Something that’s really been gnawing at my mind for a while is how much the art community feels scattered. So I think it would be fun to do an #art share at least once a month. Let’s kick it off. Share your art, like and comment on the posts of others, and get more art in your feed!

Mortdkai @squaffle.bsky.social · 2d ago

Finally able to show these two artworks I made conceptualizing a hypothetical childrens book series based on our steampunk TTRPG characters! Genuinely one of my favorite creations. ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustraton ⟡ #ttrpg ⟡ #steampunk ⧽⧽

A characer lineup in a simple art style.
Duncan: a lanky airship pilot in with googles, an uschanka-esque hat and a light green jacket.
Onearm: A broad man with one metal hand and a grey coat, ready to draw his two pistols.
Emira: A girl with a large facial scar, white hair in two braids, red clothing and giant boots.
Paulin: An archeologist hiding shily behind his shovel, being swallowed by his beige clothing and hat.
Leandro: A relaxed doctor with a content smile and a scratchy dark green wool pullover.
Admiral Neumann: Two versions of her are shown: In the first the woman in red sharp clothing stands tall with a cane in hand. In the second one of her arms is made from golden metal, she has a facial scar and is leaning on the cane.

A mock book cover. Text: "Emira von Salingen and the haunted airship/airship spook - Dresgian bookshop". Three characters are in a frozen over airship. Emira is standing at the front looking upwards in surprise. Einarm is behind her holding a lantern and a pistol ready while glancing suspicous to his side. In the background Duncan is reaching up to touch one of the icicles.

New design for my persona as they will start in @wind21.bsky.social's #limracing dtiys with the number 08! Their style is focussed on quick turns, to easily engage targets and evade other racers. Also, have the statistics I designed, if anyone else wants to use it! :) ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #dtiys ⧽⧽

The same statistic shown earlier, but without being "filled in".

Emira for @rabswar.bsky.social A very special return fire I spent extra time and care on because Rabs was the first one to attack me this year and it meant a lot to me🪽☀️ [ #teamComedy | #artfight2026 ]

An airship adventurer climbs the rigging of her ship as it flies through the sky and she looks out at the expanse of clouds around her with a wide eyed smile.

First two attacks for #artfight2026! Jingles belongs to @valeriandreams.bsky.social and Nuri belongs to artfight.net/~Tabbyisdumb! Been gone this weekend, more attacks will come soon. Yeh. :)

Chiara (or Lily) 🌠@chiaraislily.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Jingles by @valeriandreams.bsky.social! Okay so uh I might have underestimated the design's complexity BUT I had the pose sketched out and I was gonna do them justice or die trying Genuinely one of my cleanest works ever, I'm really proud 😭 [ #artfight | #teamMystery | #artfight2026 | #art ]

A digital drawing of Jingles, a jester wearing a smiling mask. They are standing on a stage with billowing red curtains and throwing magical knives towards the camera, striking a dramatic pose while being illuminated by a spotlight.

With the release of the anime, I used it as inspiration to draw my persona in the style of Shirahama's Witch Hat Atelier! ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustraton ⟡ #witchhatatelier ⟡ #manga ⧽⧽

Full illustration imitating a cover of Shirahama's witch hat atelier manga. The character wears a yellow shirt, blue fluttering coat, black pants and a black hat. They wear thick arm and foot bracelets made up from five rings. Through touching one of the bracelets, they magically pull water out of the air. The background is a rolling hill landscape.

Alternate versions: One is the colored version without the colored lineart and background, the other is a black and white version as it could be on a regular manga page.

An image showing the full illustration and alternate versions as well as the art process: Sketch, Lineart, Color Study, Flat Colors, Shading.

Oliver 💙@oliverniko.bsky.social · 3mo ago

It's my birthday today! I have heard I can ask for reposts of my art, should you wish. 💙

Raven from Fire Emblem is a young, muscular light-skinned man with spiky, layered red hair. He wears a blue tunic over white trousers, brown belts/boots and blue toned armour with gold embellishments. He stands with a sword raised above his head, light hitting him dramatically. Lucius, a young, slim feminine light-skinned man with long blond hair, knees next to him in blue robes with a beige sash holding onto his body. He glows in a heavenly light. A broken staff lays nearby. The background is a dark forest, light cast only on the pair.

A digital, softly painted piece of two Welsh lesbians dressed in traditional attire relax together in a field of daffodils. One reads a book as she lays a limb difference on her adoring partner looking up at her, laid in her lap. The laid down woman strokes a Calico kitten's head. The two are hit with soft, warm sunlight.

A loose soft pastel drawing of a long haired grey cat. It looks upwards, its face hit with a warm light that streams upwards, with long white whiskers. Golden light illuminates the chin.

A softly painted pastel piece featuring a sitting tabby cat. She is hit with a golden glowing light from above and behind, with purple midtones and cool toned green shadows. She has an ethereal feel to her.

And because I'm on a roll today here is the free to use attack overlay I drew for this year! :) #artfight #teammystery #f2u

A frame for artfight's Team Mystery. The general frame is dark grey with an even darker diamond pattern on it. In the top left corner, it say's 2026, in the bottom right corner there is a venetian mask with red feathers and a broken half. Behind both of them is red smoke. In the bottom left corners there is a stone with the three theater mask symbols on it. In the top right corner there are some sparkles :)

Finally got around to making an art fight card!! #artfight #teammystery

A team mystery art fight card! On the top left there is a picture of my persona. Below the title there is text saying "User: RabSwar. I attack: Stormlight/Cosmere, Steampunk, Revenge, Adorable Beans, Maybe more..." The friendly fire and revenge boxes are checked, mass attack is not. In featured characters there are five more characters drawn and only the "human" cathegory is circled in characters I have.

I finally finished the references for Cass and Kiran for artfight! I'll try to add a short summary of their universe in the next few days! ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #interratium ⟡ #artfight ⧽⧽

On the left there are six character portraits. Three of them show Kiran - a boy with grey hair and two white streaks - in different ages. To the right there are outfit designs showing the interratium uniforms!

On the left there are six character portraits. The other three of them show Kassian - a boy with black, but sometimes red-dyed hair - in different ages. To the right there are outfit designs showing the interratium uniforms!

More Emira artwork! ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustraton ⟡ #steampunk ⧽⧽

An artwork of a girl (Emira) looking in a shattered mirror. The broken center of the mirror is located on her left eye so only one of her blue eyes can be seen. She has white hair and is wearing a golden star earring. She is holding one hand up to her cheek. In the facets of the mirror two different versions can be seen: In one version her hair is braided on both sides and she is wearing a white collared shirt. In the second version her hair is down on her left side where she also has a big scar and she is wearing a red high-neck jacket.

Two versions of the drawing can be seen in different facets:

The Dreamer. 2026 vs. 2018 Redraw of a custom tarot card idea I had a few years ago! ⧼⧼ #oc ⟡ #art ⟡ #illustraton ⟡ #tarot ⧽⧽

Artists! Show the first ever picture of an OC and the most recent. I want to show two actually: 1. My Persona (2018 vs. 2026) who has changed a bit. 2. Emira (2023 vs. 2026) who changed not at all.

Artists, show me the first ever picture of an OC and the most recent 2020 - 2026 While she did technically exist in 2015 I never drew a ref until 5 years after. Honestly can't believe this is the same girl😅 (And yes, she was my sona before Shunky) #art #arttrain #artsky #oc #ocsky #sona #oldart
