💖Let her fly🪽

RIP Dolly, thank you for everything ✨

Going home 🖤😭

RIP Tim Curry and thank you for being unapologetically yourself and giving so many others the courage to do the same ♥️

✨Vi & Zo✨

I’m always stoked to be a part of the @bookishartistscompendium art challenges and was sooo excited about this anatomical nightmare of a pose. I knew I had to draw my OCs because I hadn’t drawn these two together before! As I was drawing them, their backstory came to me and boooy is it sad. But yeah, here’s Vi & Zo the first time they are in love!

What a difference a year can make.

Definitely feels like I’m finding my personal style and IM STOKED!

HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO @cherishwrights & BURN HER THEY SAID!!!!!!

I have fallen in love with Tasch & Varic and their story while drawing them and reading bits. I can’t wait to fully dive into their world and story.

Happy [belated] Birthday Haymitch 🌅

Finally finished this redraw and I’m thrilled with how much my art has grown in the past year!! You can see my original one from last year on the last slide.

🪲Available Premade Cover🪲

I fell in love with this portrait I did as an example for my gilded portraits and wanted to give her an opportunity to live a bigger life on a cover!

The entire Timelapse is 15 minutes long. According to Procreate this took 13 hours, not including time staring at a wall to figure it all out.

I am SLOW at this but I will never make things “easier” or quicker by using Al. Takes the joy out of it and is literally killing the planet.

I am so f*cking tired of these Al weasels getting huge following, scamming people & ruining the industry. I’m sick of the witch hunts and the fear. Al is a sh!thole and people using it to scam others are scum.

But yeah posting a Timelapse of my color and render as proof I guess.

We are finally getting into the actual ren faire outfit!

I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS WIP!!!!!

#digitalart #wip #digitalartwip #sapphiclove #artist

Part 1.5(?): Side Quest!

Made the pants in the free time I had throughout the week and then speed ran patterning & actually making the top in about 4 hours right before the event (which is why none of it is filmed). If you want to see how I made the top lmk? I can try to make it again and film this time lol

Also if these pants look familiar, they are directly inspired by Lady Epi’s pants! I have adored them for a long time but unfortunately don’t have the budget for them. But you can help me make this pop off and maybe I’ll be able to get a real pair 😂

Follow along to see if I ever actually work on my ren faire outfit!

Making my ren-faire outfit!

Changing things up a bit here and sharing more of the other Gabbie’s and arts I enjoy. Most of the digital art I have been working on is a secret so I don’t have new stuff to share on that front but this is my current personal project!

A little speed-paint Sunday of a social media background I did for @chelseabradley_author for her upcoming release, A Prophecy Untold! This was such a fun project and I can’t wait to read the book!

Updates coming your way next week!

I realized I was undervaluing my time and effort so I am remediating that. I still want to remain as accessible as I can so the d!sc0unts will be applicable too. So here is your one week notice of the increase!

Some sad boi Shane & Ilya for youuu.

The lighting in this scene is iconic.

#heatedrivalryedit #heatedrivalryfanart #fanart #ilyarozanov #shanehollander

Mentally, I’m still here. 🏡

I’m going to need a Heated Rivalry rewatch soon bc Ilya & Shane are still on my mind constantly. Now that I have read all of the Game Changers series I am even more excited for what is to come!!

January: Animal-like edition!
Birth Flower: Carnation
Character: Kenku Warlock

Still catching up on these but next up is February, birth flower- violets.

January: Carnation
Character: Firbolg Monk

New series alert!! I bit ago I decided to make palettes from each month’s birth flower just for fun (see the last slide for January’s palette). That turned into me wanting to do a piece each month using them. So we are catching up! They will all be DnD races and classes and likely 2 a month because I couldn’t choose between humanoid & animal-like creatures.

Don’t come at me for the four digits! It’s not A👁️, I just did my research 😤 see slide 5 for reference!

Stay tuned for January’s animal-like creature (hint: lots of feathers 🪶) and all of the months to come!

And pls someone h!re me to draw their dnd podcast art!! Tis a dream I am manifesting ✨

ILY forever @r.h.linehan.author for bringing these babes into my life and jumping on the “I got new brushes” message 😘

#bookishart #digitalart #characterart #characterartist #commissionsopen

Reposting some more of my earlier art! This is one of my absolute favorite drawings of mine to date. My OC, Violet and all of her multitasking 🌶️ chaos.
