This unicorn created by Melizza Santram-Chernov is a representation of one of her possible spirit animals (hahaha). Like so many others I am paradoxical. In this case I'm both ethereal and grumpy at any given time.

Next up on the OC line is my goblin mom Melizza! The OG design is made by @eskart.bsky.social while @imabunbun.bsky.social made some slight alterations which lead to her current design.

This image is one that I've been working on for a book about mythical creatures. This is a water nymph. I created her laying in the water on her back because I learned how to swim as an adult :) I was nervous to learn but when I was on my back I could float along the water feeling totally relaxed.

There’s nothing better than a swim except a swim that helps the environment. This is an image of a young girl and her trusty dog sidekick saving a bright orange fish from plastic being wrapped around it.

This is an ink sketch by Melizza Santram-Chernov. It is a study of a sculpture not an original drawing. I drew this to learn how to compose the form of a winged dragon.

There’s something that happens to my imagination when I'm on a nature walk.

I thought I'd share some of what I see with all of you.

This was taken at #maudslaystatepark while on a walk with my niece and nephew.
