Geralt Nude NSFW

I was in a "witcher pinup" mood recently. 

I think this is a nice follow up to Jaskier on my previous pic.

Jaskier NUDE (mild NSFW)

Finally Patreon stopped glitching and allowed me to post this!

I am SO proud of how I imroved my coloring method...working on it now to give you moooore sweet hot stuff with different ships and characters.

Sketched a very new OC

Can't even tell his name.

But soooon

Astarion

Omg, that was the longest time I worked on a portrait because I tried to use the new techniques with line art and coloring methods. 

I learned a lot, but I still have no idea how to cell shade. I need to study this style more because I eventually slipped into a more  painterly  technique. ;-)

The man and his canary

I have only one last episode of The Boys S2 left and I am sooo sad because I want mooore!

Random character study in Clip Studio Paint

The first meeting

I am not doing inktober. I am not doing inktober. I am not....

Votin again!

Hello my dear people! Sorry for not holding polls for quite a while. Last few months were VERY rough on my mental health, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to comply, since I was able to draw only things that I FELT like drawing in the moment and I wasn't sure that it would something you guys voted for.

But...

Geralt x Jaskier NSFW

I am now on my meds from anxiety - depressive disorder which really kept my energy so low I barely could leave the house on some days, but now I am feeling much better.

So I am back to some occasional smut...tried a new coloring method with procreate with this one. Will probably do some more of the same scene but wi...

A I really loved doing this comission. IF you haven't by any  chance. watched, Jonathan Strange and mr. Norell i strongly advise you to do so. Autumn is a perfect time for this wonderful Tv-show about english magic.

The King - Timothy Chalamet portrait study

I've watched The King recently and it we pretty boring...actually boring as hell, but Timothy Chalamet was beautyful so I decided to make a little portrait practice. 

Sweet september days

I missed my boys.

Suddenly LOTR fanart

I've recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I cried  so hard, because of all of the feels, and the beauty and the music and the nostalgia. It was my first serious fandom, even before the Haryy Potter, that's where I met my husband and mnay friends.

But at those times, russian LOTR fandom was very homo...

NSFW Raymond/Fletcher (The Gentlemen)

I wanted to draw this right after I saw the movie and finally I did.

Because I sometimes like to indulge into a love/hate ships, which inclue an older bottom and a  younger top.

I know this ship is not that popular but...well one has to sin sometime.

I've got a bunch of NSFW and SFW work coming your way...

Last days of August

OMG I can't believe I've finished it. It was  so much work but I am so happy with it!

Hope you enjoy it too!

Last days of august - WIP

I finally have some energy to work on this one. It should radiate positivity and warmth and I didn't feel any of it due to political situation in Russia and Belarus, and my own immigration affairs but it seems like I am starting to recover. 

Anatomy study with Jaskier

I am drawing another colored pieve with Corwley/Aziraphale now and it will take some time, but meanwhile I   take some rest with fast anatomy studies.

Finally! That was a LOT of work. 

And I'm showing you the other WIPS of coloring process.

Master study of J.S. Sargent

Studying is essential  for an artist. And learning from the great masters. 

Book cover lineart and WIP

So, here's the project I've been working on!

You can see it from the very first draft, then a cleaner more defined sketch and now the  clean (almost, as much as I need it to be  since it will be colord) lineart. 

The book is going to be a victorian gay protagonist fantasy including fairy folk.

Anatomy sketch turned into Adam from Deus Ex

I am working now on my Book Cover project, but I soon will be back to draeing fandom stuff.

And hopefull I will be able to show you the book cover quitesoon!

Art therapy piece

Jave you heard that painting loosely with traditional materials, helps activate parasympathetic nervous system, calms you down and helps reduce stress?

Well that's what I've been doing, to help myself get better with my mental health after all the stress.

Painted this with gouache on craft paper. And then added so...
