Thabks for hosting hobby! 😎🍷

Here are some recent pen pieces of mine.
(Optional) tags for @magicalscope.bsky.social @yulkradness.bsky.social @akanelogics.bsky.social @cryhollow.bsky.social @bruib.bsky.social
Pen drawing centered on a face, eyes closed and face pointed down. The face is covered with tree light tattoos rising from the eyes with half-moon and circular symbols down the forehead. There is script flowing from below each eye and down the cheeks either side of black lips. A richly embossed collar is around their neck and the rest of their body is covered by metal discs and chains with various amulets covered in symbols or sculpted with eyes. Their hands are withered with the right one is tight to their chest while the other is raised and in a faint wispy white nimbus. Flanking this large figure are a set of smaller ones in high, richly embossed head-gear reading from large tomes that are on stands that appear to be made of a set of screaming faces. Rising up from behind the figures are columns with a stained glass appearing webbing between them while behind the main figure are a series of branching like structures. Pen drawing of a large, multi-limbed female figure with the two of the larger limbs outstretched to the side and surrounded by globes of blue light while their main hands are positioned in front of them as if manipulating something invisible to the viewer. Sigils flow down their chest from their neck while their face is just an oval shaped void in their head while the hair is black like space and decorated with white gems to resemble stars. Their other arms diminish in side with the smallest of the four pairs only having two fingers and a thumb. They are standing over an eye like structure with a rippling, black fluid surface and white light shining out of an opening resembling an iris. Around them are metallic symbols made up lines of various thicknesses and circles while there are rips in the world with black void. Behind the figure is an electric blue sky that appears to be dripping while the surrounding walls are richly textured with more of the symbols like on the spheres, lit from within with a pale glow. Pen drawing of a large, humanoid statue that appears to be made up of strands of rock, standing on an outcropping that has eroded into a branch looking structure emerging from the water filling a canyon from a waterfall at the far end. Along the edge of this canyon are sharply pointed pillars and orbs of stone over the green hued sky with streaks of purple and other colours through it. The sky appears ripped along an edge with black, night sky full of stars and streaks of light following as if a mirror to the canyon below. Purple 5 pointed star flowers blossom on parts of the canyon wall and around the outcropping the statue is on while, in the distance a citadel is carved out of the rock in the canyon, while scattered around and prominent near the lower right corner of the page appears to have a tablet inscribed with symbols. Pen drawing of colossal being, kneeling on sand dunes. It's skull is elongated and looking down towards the ground. It's visible arm ends in two, long bony fingers while collapsed wings come out of its shoulders and down to the ground. There are pipes and structures built on it, embedding it into the landscape that is dotted with pyramids and pillars that are dwarfed in scale. Behind the being is a ziggurat/stepped pyramid with a saucer shaped craft hovering over it. This is closer than the structures that dominate the landscape in the distance. Behind the ziggurat and ship is an ankh shaped structure with a portal open in the egg-shaped center of it, while a structure that resembles a triumphal arch is on the opposite side of the scene, massive enough if has pyramids, obelisks and other structures on top of it. In the sky a large red sun hangs partially behind the head of the being while a large metallic, damaged sphere hangs in the sky like a moon, part of the surface ripped away showing the framework within it.

Mysterious goings-on at the old abandoned birdhouse.
From last year’s #Mysterium art challenge - check it out below!
A painting of an upside down old birdhouse. A tree has grown though its sides. The interior glows a sinister red. Two leaves, on yellow and one green, grow from the tree’s branches.

It’s as finished as it’s going to get for the moment. 😊💜
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of rat skeletons dancing at night around a bare-branched tree, with a huge blood moon overhead. There are five rat skeletons, much larger than real rats, one is howling at the moon, one is leaning against the trunk of the tree, two are upright, and one is on all fours, on bare earth. One more rat tail is disappearing up the trunk of the tree. The moon is yellow at the base, darkening to red, left of center. Its diameter about 1/3 the height of the entire drawing, covering about 1/5 of the night sky. The sky is dark blue, filled with stars, and a large branch of the tree crosses the face of the moon. The rat skeletons are beige and white in the moonlight, and there are little skeleton paw prints in the earth around them (I really like skeletons and bones!). The tree is dark brown, leaning towards the right, up against a large rock, and the background is green rolling hills. References (all public domain): Tree: 18th century print. Skeletons: 19th century anatomical drawings. Moon: composite of NASA public domain images.

In progress: "Maple", oil on canvas, 12x16". Little by little more leaves are leafing. #wip #art #landscape #canadianart #painting
A painting of a view of the maple tree in my backyard, with red brick houses behind. The house on the left is obscured by branches & leaves, and in the bottom left corner vines cover the fence. The fence continues along the bottom edge to the right corner. Behind the fence is a taupe coloured vinyl sided shed in my neighbour's yard. A dark tarp hangs under the shed's eaves, blowing slightly in the breeze.

Drawing facial hair on Illario just because. I also wanted to see the famous 5 o'clock shadow.

Thanks @bossuary.bsky.social for letting me draw on your shot.

I still prefer clean shaven Illario hehe

SOLEIL

I don't think I've properly introduced my boy here, yet.

This is Soleil. He likes to go for swims in the Sun.

"The Whole World is Bark"
Brown Creeper and Colorful Zale
8"x10" oil painting on panel

Inspired by a Brown Creeper exploring the intricate landscape of bark on an older Yellow Birch, before totality during the 2024 solar eclipse. If you explore the bark too, you'll find the Colorful Zale. 🪶🐡
An oil painting of a Brown Creeper, clinging to the curling and craggy bark of an older Yellow Birch tree. A Colorful Zale moth, which uses Yellow Birch as one of its host plants, clings to the bark in the upper center of the painting, in soft shadows. The light is a somewhat surreal warm grey, as the solar eclipse was well underway, minutes from totality. The artist watermark reads: Copyright 2026 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust dot com

Tiny moth painting in a gold frame with cherubs. Odd combo, but whatever. The moth has a large eye between its feet and eyes on its wings. It is gold and brown.

The sky is dark blue, and a large branch of the tree crosses the face of the moon. The skeletons have been given a base colour, but will be worked over with white/off-white paint (I like skeletons and bones). The tree is dark brown, leaning towards the right, up against a large rock, and the background is green rolling hills.
