A digital painting of a blue spiked turtle shell from Super Mario World. We can see the hills of dinosaur land in the background, and the tip of a grassy hill in the foreground where the Turtle Shell rests. It's on a small precarious ledge, even a gust of wind could send it sliding down the hill.

I made this around the same time I joined Bluesky. Not Mario, but it's safe to say he's probably been here recently.

Fan art illustration for the video game Monster Hunter Wilds. In a crater, a female character lays defeated, surrounded by a sword and shield. Around her are various supposedly motivational call-outs from unseen characters

Happy Monster Hunter Day!
I suck at Monster Hunter!

That sounds like so much fun! I would have loved that except I had a hard time drawing people, so I usually just drew the level.

My absolute favorite thing to do was to tape a few pieces of this 12x18 craft paper we had into one long strip and design my own Mario 3 style Airships.

Good times❣️

Digital art of a human sitting alone in the darkness. They are in a kneeling position from a side view, bowing their head down and surrounded by monsters reaching out for them. They appear as varying reptilian-like or aquatic-like forms, with giant mouths much like a shark's with large gums, a gaping mouth hole and rows of razor sharp teeth. They have dark blue skin and red glowing eyes, and all of them are lunging and reaching out with thin stretchy cartoon-like four-fingered hands. The only thing between the grasping hands of fear and doubt is that light the person in the middle emanates. The outside edge of the scene is enveloped in shadow.

Dragon Posting! 🐉

I always planned on making one, just to put up a small portfolio and leave it.

Make them stop❣️

As a kid, drawing scenes from Mario Bros was always one of my favorite things to put on paper. And yet, as an adult artist, how is it that I have no artwork of my main man Mario?

An acrylic drawing of Eurasian Blackbird which is sitting on some foliage. It's super round and chonky, a rather small, black bird with yellow beak and yellow ring around its eye. It doesn't bother getting to bird feeder, it's waiting for other birds to get these seeds down for it to eat.

Looking from below, waiting for these S E E D S to fall.

Honestly, the sooner you can unlearn jealousy and envy as reactions to others’ success, the better off you’ll be.

There are better ways to motivate yourself to succeed than hoping that your peers don’t.

Thank you Dan 🙏

The New Galatea, a grand lady of marble, is carving herself out of a large marble block, in a baroque ruin. She’s given herself an outrageously elaborate marble gown and hairstyle, because she can.

The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

The Storm Goddess, garbed in storm clouds, dances in a thunderstorm, her fingers snapping lightning.

A vast and mysterious faerie entity appears in the swirling clouds over an Italian mountain range, wearing a mystic golden amulet with a wonderful crystal. A lone cloaked traveller looks up at her.

Sneaking in some women for International Women’s Day!

The New Galatea, the Rose Queen, and the Storm Goddess!

Also the Fairy Queen from the Straight Way Lost TTRPG

A digital painting and work-in-progress of a painting I started at the end of last year. We see a star-filled sky at twilight, with a fiery-red light coming from the bottom of the frame where the top half of a fiery individual stands holding a sword to the sky, where a teal green comet falls down towards the point of the sword. The person's rib cage is visible, as a brilliant light is coming from inside their chest which has ignited their skin, bursting forth from their skin, eyes and mouth as they reach upward into the sky.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
use my power to create tonight 🌠 #nightsky

Perhaps you're right. Then I'm in good company

It's a difficult balance, being an artist and finding a way to make a living in this world.

They way I see true art, those concepts feel contradictory.

I feel like I'm quite experienced allowing feeling to guide my work, but I wonder at times if I shouldn't display more control and find a niche.

But trying to control the wind feels as though it would only narrow my artistic range. I don't feel like I can sacrifice my creative freedom for "success"

I'm trying to get myself together as an artist, I swear. Sometimes it's surpising where creative winds can take you.

If her borb art didn't convince you yet, then you gotta see what other amazing art Anna can do

Like building a puzzle, or Frankenstein

I love your version of Dorothy 😄👏

A serious-looking young woman dressed in a white button-up, blue suspender skirt, long white socks and red Mary Jane shoes. In one hand is a revolver, in the other hangs a basket full of ammo.

A woman dressed in a blue half-robe with an orange waist sash, short black pants and geta-like sandals. She has long silverish hair tied in a trailing ponytail. She looks to the side, holding a smoking pipe in one hand.

Black and white drawing of Donna Beneviento, an enemy character from the Resident Evil 8 video game. A tall, skeletal woman in a black dress, holding a creepy doll dressed in white. Their eyes are inhuman. Tendrils leak out from their forms.

Fan art of Weiss Schnee from the RWBY web series. A young woman dressed in a white military-esque outfit, with a cape and cloak, walks towards the viewers. In one hand is a rapier-like weapon - her left hand is posed palm up with a snowflake-like glyph over it.

Happy International Women's Day!
I need to draw more ladies!

Thank you. Yeah I'm not sure if I will ever put this much detail into a piece again. The composition suffers a little because of it, I think.
