Your art reminds me of yaelokre and the song Foxcry by Rabbitology!

Oh! That's a fun comparison!

Thank you, anon! ✨

I absolutely want to create new designs for printmaking, but there's also a part of me that would love to reuse some of my past illustrations for block printing purposes.

I've finished adding everything, which includes recommendations from both Mastodon and Bluesky. To say that I have more than enough to listen to while working is an understatement because the playlist is 37 hours long.

Thanks so much to everyone for providing!

Without knowing my tastes, what music would you recommend to me based purely on vibes?

Asking because I would like to make a playlist of new music to listen to while I'm at my university's ceramic studio this week.

By the way, if recommending an artist, suggesting a specific album or song(s) from them would be very helpful!

Digital illustration depicting a humanoid woman handing a flower to a giant, horned spirit. The spirit holds out their hand to accept the offering from her.

Below this illustration reads: “Marit had a gift for the spirit!”
A digital illustration in the style of a vintage storybook. At the edge of a forest, a girl wearing a hooded cardigan meets a long, slender creature. The girl reaches out her hand as if to touch the creature's snout.
A digital illustration in the style of old print. A large two-headed beast with dark fur emerges from a cave. It lifts its heads to make eye contact with a redheaded child sitting above the cave’s entrance.
A digital illustration in the style of a block print. A humanoid figure wearing a red cloak stands next to a long, segmented creature that resembles a carrot. The creature’s body weaves in-and-out of dark bushes.

Sharing my favorite art I’ve made as a way to celebrate my birthday today!

It makes my day a little better whenever someone comments that my art reminds them of a medieval tapestry or manuscript 💕

Sometimes I'm not aware of what particular themes reoccur in my work, which is why these posts are fun to make.

Cropped version of "Bright Light". A digital illustration depicting a hooded figure standing against a dull cloudy sky. From under their hood a beam of orange light emanates. Stylized flowers and dark bushes cover the ground.
Cropped version of a past artwork. A digital illustration of a figure whose head is replaced by a stylized ball of yellow light.
Cropped version of "Little Light". A digital illustration of a humanoid creature wearing a pale yellow dress. She holds her hand out to a speck of light.
Cropped version of "Illuminate". A digital illustration depicting a humanoid woman with a creature resting on her shoulders. The creature has a long body with a glassy, eye-like orb in place of its head. From this orb emits a light that illuminates their surroundings.

have you ever gotten into irish mythology? i think irish myth characters would look absolutely amazing in your style

I have not! But, after taking a quick glance at some Irish mythology, it's definitely something I would like to look into more.

Thanks for the suggestion! ✨

Digital art of two women gently holding onto one another. Both women are missing their faces. A reddish-orange tangled mass of organic material flows out from where their faces should be and connects them together.
A digital illustration of two figures on a dirt path with dark mountains visible in the background. One of these figures is a caped humanoid whose head is replaced by an orange, liquid-like substance floating away in the wind. The other is a girl who’s standing close to her companion.
Digital illustration of a figure standing in a dark field. The top half of the figure's head is missing similarly to a piece of broken ceramic. The opening in their head emits a smoke-like substance that floats into a cloudy, green sky.
Scanned image of a black and white linoleum block print. A person with shoulder-length hair stands in the foreground. The figure's face lacks any facial features, but instead has a cavernous hole in its place. From this hole a mass of smoke flows out. Mountains and a speckled ground are visible in the background.

To all the mysterious women: I WILL meet you in the woods. 🫵🏻

My life would be greatly improved if I met more mysterious women in the woods.

Both communities can enjoy a little creature.

I love that the most noticeable demographic(s) of folks who support my art is TTRPG enjoyers and furries — which, in my opinion, is an incredible combination

A photo of a sketchbook page kept open by owner's fingertips. The art on the page is a clump of stylized brown, pink, and orange leaves drawn using pen and marker.

A half-finished sketch of the illustration Bright Light. It's similar to the finished version, but much rougher with the central figure's legs not drawn.
Digital illustration depicting a hooded figure standing against a dull cloudy sky. From under their hood a beam of orange light emanates. Stylized flowers and dark bushes cover the ground. Below the illustration reads "A beam of bright light came from the stranger's hood."

Another sketch vs. finished comparison, but this time for Bright Light.

You can see at exactly what point I got impatient because I couldn't even bother to sketch out their legs.

A digital sketch of the illustration A Gift. It's a mishmash of merged layers and colors overlaying one another.
Digital illustration depicting a humanoid woman handing a flower to a giant, horned spirit. The spirit holds out their hand to accept the offering from her.

Below this illustration reads: “Marit had a gift for the spirit!”

Found the original sketch for A Gift while rummaging through Procreate tonight.

(Including the finished version for comparison)

"Do I truly hate what I'm working on? Or am I tired of looking at it and need a short break?"

"Do I really hate my art-making process? Or have I been doing the same thing for too long?"

An important question I have to ask myself every once in a while is "do I actually hate [blank] or am I just bored of it?"
