Ink Art: Red and Gold Christmas Orbs Painting
I made new ink art. I am still doing the Christmas theme. After the 24th, there are not going to be new Christmas themed paintings. There would just be no point to it. I will probably do some fireworks or maybe snowflakes. Who knows? I am just getting ahead of myself. The ink and paper were made by Pixiss. I have gotten a lot of millage from those art supplies. I also made a Tiktok and Youtube video of my artworks. You can check that out if you prefer to see a video. I also photographed the dry...
Hollow Knight The Nutcracker Fanart
I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. Before making it, I did a little poll in youtube to decide which characters to draw. The winners of the poll ended up being the Mantis Lords. Since it was Christmas, I chose to make a reference to the Nutcracker. This is the Waltz of the Flowers. The Mantis Lords are dancing this waltz while wearing lovely outfits. I found a good reference photo for this fanart. I think it ended up looking rather cool. The big sister already did her solo. Now, it is time for her twin little sisters...
Baldur’s Gate Astarion Fanart Albrecht Durer Painting Parody
I finally worked up the energy to make my first Astarion fanart. I was a bit hesitant about it. I do not normally make realistic faces. I make Hollow Knight fanarts.

I chose to dress Astarion like Albrecht Durer. Durer made this self-portrait for his fiancée, as a form of courtship. The thistle in his hand is a sign of virility. So, this flower works...
Ink Art: Xmas Orbs Paintings
I made new ink art. The theme is still Christmas. This time I am using my round paper to make xmas ornament looking paintings. The paper and ink are pixiss. I have been getting a lot of millage out of those art supplies. In order to extend the colors, I add rubbing alcohol into the little bottles. I then shake them before using them again. I took both wet and dry photos of my paintings. I also photographed two painting details. I also made a video of my art. You can see it both in Tiktok and Youtube....
Doll Theater Orby Background
I made a new background for Doll Theater. I went for an abstract city feel to it. This wasn’t what I had in mind. It just ended up looking like that. I used a project board to make this painting. I often paint both sides of the project board. It saves me the trouble of buying extra backgrounds. The back part of the project board was brown, and it had writing. So, I had to add a layer of gesso in order to paint on top of it. I colored the white gesso in order to save a couple of...
