I’ve been having fun working on this little chap today 😁 Does anyone here know what a Wulpertinger is? I will have this finished and up for the March Dark n Whimsical Artists Collective Auction if you are interested in owning it 🤘

I will be a part of this! I can’t wait to show this art to everyone, I’m really enjoying making it 😁

I don’t know how many people will recognise this creature, but I have just completed the sketch for my entry in the Dark n Whimsical Artists Collective March auction themed around German Folklore. -S

We are starting up the Dark n Whimsical Artists Collective and are not only looking for members, but also looking forward to hosting auctions every month with the fantastic art we all produce. I will share links across all social media platforms when we are two weeks out from the auctions

Just finishing off this latest fantasy pet portrait of the absolutely gorgeous Belle. I hope her parents will like this 16” x 20” £50 pet portrait in oils for their wall. #cat #pet #portrait #commission #petportrait

I don’t usually share these kinds of things, but I wanted to show this (heavily edited) comic style commission I’m working on at the moment. It’s for an Australian author friend of mine, Lena Moore, but my wife said it looked like Captain America 🤣 #commission #comic #inks #americasass

What is everyone up to today? I’m just working on a commission at the moment, but I better crop it down so the giftee doesn’t see it 😁 #commission #pet #portrait #petportraits

I’m hoping next week I will get to show more of the pieces I did, but I just wanted to remind everyone about my fantasy pet portraits. I happily ship worldwide, and would be happy to discuss what you would like to, so drop me a message any time. #commission #petportrait #pet #portrait

I have been pretty busy with commissions lately, and I can’t show them because they’re presents! 🤣 I have enjoyed doing them so much that I will post this again for everyone 😁

Apparently my favourite kind of art is called anthropomorphic fantasy. I had no idea, but I suppose I can thank Disney, Ninja Turtles, and Warner Bros. for a childhood full of wacky characters 😁 I guess Hollows Glen is anthropomorphic fantasy now 😁 #hollowsglen #disney #tmnt #otters #dratsie

I’m curious. In terms of art, what do you like? The old saying is “I don’t know art, but I know what I like”, so tell me people of Bluesky, what art makes you happy? #question #curious #advice #interested#geniune

I thought this could be an interesting look at how I make a colouring book page for Hollows Glen. I already did the pencil sketch in my sketchbook and then I go into CSP to give it some “ink” What do you think of the “Puggle Protector”? #hollowsglen #coloringbook #fun #cottagecore #hedgehog

I just wanted to let everyone know that todays post is going to be later than usual because I thought I might put together a QuickDraw video of the next colouring page 😁 #runninglate #dailypost #myart #hollowsglen

So, I kind of brought this up before, but this time I created one of the pages for the Hollows Glen Colouring Book. What do you think? Would you grab a colouring book that had art like this in it? #question #advice #research #hollowsglen #coloringbook

I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed by everything lately, but I’m still creating my art and hoping someone might like a Fantasy Pet Portraits £50 (plus shipping) Just send me a dm or email [email protected] #pet #portrait #commission #fantasy

I’m refining some details on this side of the log on my big 4 foot tall canvas. It’s so much fun working this size, but this is going to take a while 😄 What do you think? #log #wood #details #fantasy #knight #rest

So, I’m opening up my pet commissions for 2025. The first 10 people will get their pet portrait painted for just £50 (plus shipping). My turn around is about 2-3 weeks, then whatever shipping takes 😊 contact me now at [email protected] #commission #pet #portrait #petportrait #fantasy

Just finishing up another pet portrait commission Pet portrait of Indy the “hufflepup” Oils on canvas #dog #petportraits #rottweiler #petportrait #oil #commission #harrypotter

Gimli son of Glóin is the next piece in my Lord of the Rings digital watercolour pieces. This style is really fun to do, but do you think I should branch out to another franchise? If so, which series would you like to see in this style? #gimli #dwarf #lotr #lordoftherings #thoughts

I’m considering making a colouring book based on my Hollows Glen characters. What do you think, would you buy a colouring book of Hollows Glen? #colouringbook #advice #thoughts #idea #hollowsglen

Pet portrait of “Oliver” Oil paints on copper plate #cat #pet #portrait #oil #petportrait

Out with the old, and in with the new. Happy New Year to all my friends, family, followers, and fans! #hollowsglen #HappyNewYear #2025

I don’t usually do these, but why not 😁 A few pieces I worked on this year. I will need a 5 x 5 grid for 2025 😉 #artvsartist

This 1m tall painting is going to be a big project, and I expect it won’t be done until mid year due to other deadlines, but I’m pretty happy with this first layer so far, what do you think? #wip #oil #canvas #knight #warrior

Hello everyone, it’s great to be here on Bluesky just in time for Christmas! Have an amazing festive season, and I hope everyone stays safe. Here is an old artwork just to show you what I do, and look forward to showing you all more next year 😊
