I designed post-CEO-murder Nova, when they're figuring out their own freedom. And I love them.

#starlingart #ocart
An animated digital illustration of a female-presenting android with robotic joints. They are leaning against the wall and looking directly at the viewer, with one eye flashing static and one arm cracked and glowing with some kind of device plugged into it.

also here's the zoomy to remind us all that sometimes the sketch never looks good and it's only once the colour is down that moustaches stop looking dreadful. #starlingart

Yasha, my beloved. I am this angry too.

#starlingart #criticalrole
Fanart of Yasha from Critical Role, The Mighty Nein. A muscular woman dressed in grey with leather braiding and dark boots holds a large sword in one hand and screams angrily, one fist clenched. Behind her, skeletal wings are spread wide with the remains of grey flesh upon them.

I love this Fjord piece I did, but honestly, it's the waves I'm still the most impressed by. I painted those!

#starlingart #criticalrole
Fanart of Fjord from Critical Role, The Mighty Nein. A green skinned orc in brown trousers and a white shirt lies soaked on a beach with waves breaking behind him. Propped up on one elbow, he looks down at a sword on the sand, hand almost touching the hilt; it has seaweed and barnacles wrapped around it, and a stone set in the hilt resembles a golden eye.

sometimes you have to glow up your oc for gender reasons. planning on a full sheet but here's a sneak peek of updated billie design 🙏🐐 #starlingart
A side by side of a human character with goat horns and ears. In the first they are nude except for a pair of boxers, with top surgery scars covered by goofy tatoos that look like monster faces. In the second they are clothed in a purple t shirt that says 'bigfoot is real and he tried to eat my ass' an a pair of zip off cargo pants with jelly sandals.

My second #artfight attack for my darling @rainebird.bsky.social of their OC Fern 💜 I had a lot of fun with this one, even if there some bits I really struggled with, I love how it turned out!!

#starlingart #teamfossil
A red-skinned character with a tail, dark hair and short antlers decorated with silver jewellery stands looking to the right, a bow held in their hand with a nocked arrow pointing downwards, the bowstring relaxed. the bowstring and the arrow are crackling with magic or electricity.

#starlingart
speaking and non-speaking states of a pngtuber in the style of the small robot character models from repo. the robot is purple, has horns and goat ears, and small tattoos of a lesbian flag, a heart with a dollar sign inside and a small duckling crossed out. their shirt reads 'local non-binary cryptid'.

Another #artfight piece, this time for the darling @sabelladona.bsky.social!

#starlingart #teamfossils
A digital painting of a person sitting a little hunched over, looking directly at the viewer. She has green hair in two buns, and wears a sci-fi outfit of black and green including a cropped, one-sleeve hoodie. On their face are some glowing cybernetics. In the background is binary code, and underneath is her name, Nxss, in glitched font.

the saddest girl in the whole entire world

finished this on marthy's stream last night! been experimenting with visible/textured brushstrokes and it's scary but i think i like the outcome.

#starlingart #art #thelockedtomb
digital painting of gideon nav as kiriona gaia from the locked tomb series. She stands facing the right, looking forlorn. Over her short red hair is a wreath of laurel leaves, finger bones, and flowers. She is in a white and silver military uniform with iridescent sash and cloak. Faintly in the background behind her can be seen a skull and a rapier.

Final piece of #artfight2025 for UnfortunateCrisp. Such a cool character design, I immediately had to draw her!

#starlingart #teamfossils #artfight
A digital painting of a blue-skinned character in a dark dress and veil, which clearly has horns beneath. She is casting magic, and scattered pages with magical writing on them scatter on the floor and around her.
