Best friends and bad puns 🍐🍎
Apple and Pear girls that were inspired by a cute dress with apple pockets I saw on Pinterest. Kinda inspired by some of the strawberry shortcake characters I drew a while ago

Psss do not disturb!
Prompt 1 of batstarion week - falling asleep in unusual places
Sometimes people find mice and frogs sleeping in flowers. Why not bats then? It will be a hassle to get the pollen out of that fluff.
Bastarion causing issues to hardworking bumblebees in my usual children book style. ✨
(Open for better resolution because Tumblr hates highres)
Alternative pollen version under the break 💙

Morgana le Fey
A try for a children's book aesthetic for the face of this acrylic character painting. The concept had originally been made for a computer RPG but wasn't used, so I finished her for myself. Naturally I had to repaint her face… twice? because I got carried away and gave her regular proportions. The background was flooded with sepia and cyan ink. I had planned on using that on her face in the pre-raffaelite way, but went to opaque too soon for that - I will have to try again for the effect in another piece. The cloak's pattern is image transfer of patterned paper; at first I was upset it flaked off in some places (result of using it ion paper instead of a primed surface, I believe) but then I found it underlines the idea that this is not just a posh sorceress but has something other than her looks to care about. The jewellery is drawn in gold hue ink, the moon with an acrylic marker.
I used Rohrer&Klingner ink, Daler+Rowney system 3 acrylics, and Molotow acrylic marker. The process also includes and underdrawing with coloured pencils but here they have become entirely covered.

"Keep it cool, Dammon, don't let your excitement show, dammit!"
A little break from bat- and catstarions. 💙 Dammon will always seem be the dachshund blacksmith in my heart.

For those who don’t know the context, it seems awful. For those who do know the context, it’s still awful.

Gently down the Stream
A repaint of an Inktober piece from 2020. I never got the light to work as I wanted but like the idea, so I mounted the original drawing to carton and painted it in acrylics. There is a making-of article in my blog, https://jenniferslange.wordpress.com/2023/08/31/float-acrylic-painting-and-timelapse-gif/
Now I am much more happy with the outcome. I am currently repeating quite a few drawing as paintings, usually simply overpainting the original, that I liked but wasn't happy with the final. Inktober pieces are typical candidates with the rush of getting one image done per day and therefore ending up with a lot of images that may not always have had the treatment they deserved; but that's what the other eleven months are for ;)
