I adore how you can get such a color range with your medium, the more muted from the last piece and the brightness from the third is so, so good 😭💚💚

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you so much! 😊💜 It involves many markers, and many layers of pigment! (I have a lot of variations of grey!😁)

cryptidcorvids.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course!! Haha omg I bet!! Traditional medium always feels like a fun collection game so you can have what you need >:3

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

😀 Yes! 💜💜💜

Nice dryad!

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you! I was inspired by the artist community here to give fantasy another try! 😊💜

lordkhyron.bsky.social•12 days ago

your fantasy work is quite good!

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thank you! I was really into fantasy art as a teenager, but it wasn’t considered ‘serious’ art, so in college, I was told to drop it (reinforced by a family that never read fantasy, and didn’t get it). I’m just starting to dip my toe in again at 55. 🙂💜

lordkhyron.bsky.social•12 days ago

ah, that makes sense.

Well, better lat-ish then never.

I never had proclomations against it, I just didnt take art as serious when I was little

hobbitbelliqueux.bsky.social•11 days ago

Stunning works !! Your use of markers is very impressive, I love how much you can express through this medium 💛 that vibrant green too 🤩 a real delight !!

Thank you so much for the tag as well 🙏💛🥹

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you, and you’re welcome! 😊💜 (I’m sorry I don’t tag more, I’m medicated, but still very adhd!)

hobbitbelliqueux.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's alright, think of yourself first !! I hope you're doing well though 🥰💛 adhd can be tough I guess...

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you! 😊💜 I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 51, and I’m autistic as well (AuDHD; they go together a lot). I’m physically disabled as well, so it’s just part of the package for me. 🙂 The diagnosis explained everything about my entire life, so it was good, and I have the help I need.

hobbitbelliqueux.bsky.social•10 days ago

I imagine that diagnosis was a relief ! AuDHD diagnosis can be so hard to get as a woman…

I’m glad to hear your doing ok then 💛

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•9 days ago

I am, thank you! 👍🏻💜

gravesidepress.bsky.social•12 days ago

These are stunning!! That lower left one. 😍 (Just sayin’, we have submissions open for a spicy monster horror anthology and are accepting art subs. 👀)

A tag from Laura Mellin?? Thank you!!

Thanks for the tag Laura

Thank you for the tag~!! 🌸✨

solidpawn.bsky.social•12 days ago

Your design work is absolutely incredible! I love the color and lighting in the third piece!✨💜

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

TYSM! 💜😊 For years, I said “I’m not a fantasy artist, I can’t do that” (after a lot of bad attempts and flak from professors & non-arty ppl: “why can’t you draw NORMAL stuff?” Idk, b/c I’m NOT normal?🤪). It turns out, I can, but I need to work in MY style, not copy other ppl (I know, who knew?🙄).😁💜

solidpawn.bsky.social•12 days ago

Going your own way is so important. Learn from others, yes, but creativity should be fostered! Your art is fantastic Laura!

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•12 days ago

😊💜💜💜 Thank you! So is yours (I love the duality in your pieces)!
The support and love from the art community here makes me regret not joining sooner; Insta was such a grind, and I never got traction, so I assumed I wasn’t good enough (but I am! WE ALL ARE! 😀💜💜💜).

realthangcustoms.bsky.social•12 days ago

Your mermaid game is so strong Laura! The last piece is so great! P/S: I still love the first piece too

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you! There’s only so many ways I can draw pretty, you know? (Well, I can draw pretty endlessly, but I like pushing myself.😁) 😊💜

realthangcustoms.bsky.social•11 days ago

Now you're bragging 😆

lauramellinatelier.bsky.social•10 days ago

Who, me? Never! 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😁💜🤣
