D&D | dice goblin | World of Warcraft | fractals | photography | sci-fi & fantasy (if there are dragons or spaceships I'd probably like it). Also animals (especially dogs, bears, rats and capybaras). Getting tired of a world that refuses to learn.

Happy New Year Bluesky!

The #ArtAdventCalendar may be over, but there are still millions of great reasons to fill this platform with art. So, here’s my snowy doodle, now coloured!

Merry christmas Bluesky. Pâté has a new friend on the tree, a little Pepe in his Winter Veil hat. #criticalrole #worldofwarcraft Time to eat and drink all of the things!

Day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar "Connections"mixed media on cradle board. Started with a random bkgd then I saw the elephants! Made them into hills with their trunks a bridges. Added a portal too, of course! 🤓 Some of the trees are fabric. 😊☀️ #Art #Painting #ElephantArt #FantasyArt #Dreamscape

Day 21 Acrylics on canvas board #artAdventCalendar

Illustration advent Calendar day 21 The year turns back towards the light, and I am back in my Northern home for a little while to see it turn. I woke up this first morning here early and lay in the gentle dark holding my thoughts between worlds Blessed Solstice all #ArtAdventCalendar

I dropped the ball a bit with #ArtAdventCalendar because too many things! I know there's a couple more days to go but in celebration of the #WinterSolstice today, I present the most seasonally appropriate fractal I've ever made. Happy Holidays

#ArtAdventCalendar Something light and bright from the Scilly Isles from earlier this year. St Martin’s to be precise.

Missed another day of #ArtAdventCalendar ...sometimes things happen. Anyway let's do a Day 14... Mass Heal (9th level D&D spell)

This was a pastel painting which got me starting to think about working in a more abstract way. After this I did a ton of purely abstract work, then I got sidelined and it all came to a stop. It was fun though and I'm aiming to do more. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #abstractlandscape #landscape

Something a little different for my #ArtAdventCalendar today. I hurt my back a little yesterday and decided to fire up my #WorldOfWarcraft subscription as a distraction. This is my long-time main toon—the orc hunter, Nymeera. #DigitalPainting #Warcraft #OriginalCharacter

Surreal Colorful landscape. Original #Collage. More whimsy to brighten grey winter days. Listed on my website. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #bskyart #artitsofbsky

I’ve seem to be fascinated with red and animals this week. Here are some Eastern Blue Birds (with red bellies) 😉 | #artadventcalendar #nature #birding #drawing |

It may be a little early (or late) for the rabbits to reappear, but the deer yesterday was lonely. Another in the #KintsugiCritters series, inked in the year of the rabbit. #ArtAdventCalendar day 12.

Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar "What Happens in the Shadows" Shot in 2019 in #BallardCanyon in the #SantaYnezValley, just after a rainstorm when the clouds are all dramatic. When I was growing up here, there were a dozen wineries in the area; now there are 200+. #LandscapePhotography #BlackandWhite

Well, damn, I missed a day of #ArtAdventCalendar Anyway, here's to day 12! Bardic Inspiration

Good morning lovely people of Bluesky. For day 11 of of Art Advent Calendar we have a charming fox. He was painted with acrylics on board and is now settled in his new home. #ArtAdventCalendar #Fox #MHHSBD

For #artAdventCalendar day 8 I decided to clean up a piece from 2023 I never really finished so I could add it to my shops. :) I like how this looks on the screen, I’m excited to see how the test print I’ve ordered turns out.

Day 8 #ArtAdventCalendar. My bumblebee today is made from wool, natural fibres with black ink on canvas. 30x30cm. Not quite sure whether he is a white tailed or a buff tail @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social might be able to tell me 😊 #art #insects #wildlife

Today’s selection for #ArtAdventCalendar was shot at the Everett marina. Winds = light and variable 😎 #Boating #Everett #WashingtonState #Reflection #PNW #PugetSound #Marina #OnTheWater #KnottyGirl #Mirrored #WaterLikeGlass

Day 7 of our #artadventcalendar and it's wet and windy so here is some warmth ! #MHHSBD #Ukmakers #saturday #originalart #oilpainting www.artbythree.co.uk/product-page...

🎶🪓🌿✨What-if Machina⚔️🗡️🧙‍♂️ In my #WhatIfMachina series I imagined what Vox Machina could look like, if the cast of Critical Role had chosen different classes for them. Here's a group shot of the main cast, but.. stay tuned for a few more characters from this Campaign!👀 #criticalrolefanart

So this is my #ArtAdventCalendar day 7 post. It took me a while to realise what this reminded me of, and it's how the gods came to Exandria in #CriticalRole #Downfall Escape from Tengar

Day 7 of sharing my #art for #artadventcalendar ... in a bird mood today. I love birds 🐦 ... another favourite #painting. I really enjoyed painting this, and it shows 💜💫 #creativemagic

#ArtAdventCalendar Day7 George's River Falls, Barrachois, Nova Scotia For years, before epilepsy, I chased waterfalls, documenting undiscovered places. This one was at end of a 3km hike from above. One of my favorite places on earth, completely untouched.

My daily film photo for #ArtAdventCalendar - Dec 7, 2024. Descent into the 16th-century casemates at Hohenneuffen Castle in southwestern Germany. 📷 Mamiya 6, 50mm f/4 lens, Fujicolor Professional Pro 400H medium-format film. #photography #germany #mamiya #filmphotography @bskyphotos.bsky.social

#ArtAdventCalendar day 7 I love the patterns of light in the water and the memories of sunny days and holidays with friends

#Day6Doodle for #ArtAdventCalendar. This one is hot off the presses — just finished drawing last night. Next comes colour — I’m thinking shades of blue to celebrate the beautiful winter light outside right now!

Day 6 Title: Alice, Where Did the Rabbit Go? Behind the scenes story in Alt Text. Year taken: 2018 ISO - 400 F 5.6 1/100 sec #ArtAdventCalendar #AliceInWonderland #Dogs #Photography #creativephotography #visualstorytelling

Bit later in the day for me, but here we go with #ArtAdventCalendar day 6.. Another fractal that didn't make it as a Christmas card for my friend. Fractal Frost

#ArtAdventCalendar - Dec 6th - continue with more landscapes. I think this was based on a photo (I will post in comments if I find it). The sunset-through-the-clouds effect is nice here I think, though I’m not 100% happy with the barn (iPad/Procreate)
