bug fairy character illustration for my last semester in school that i never posted

katy-hooper

i came up with a bunch of lore for this character which i thought was pretty cool. this group of fairies has a mutualism-type relationship with an endosymbiont, which is pretty common for insect species. this endosymbiont feeds off the fairies' natural connection to magic and produces necessary nutrients for them to live -- so, like, all the fairies are born with this endosymbiont and need it to be healthy, but since it feeds off of their magic most of them don't have strong magic. but they can isolate some larva or whatever, and through some magic/scientific process create young that don't have this endosymbiont, and those ones have a much stronger magic connection but reduced lifespan/need a constant nutrient feed since they can't create their own. so the society would create a subset of young like that and raise them as a sort of priest class from birth

#so the character is like a teen priestess surrounded by other magical children that serve this religious function in society #since the kids are isolated from the rest of society and the only people they know who aren't part of this class #1) are adults and so kind of look down on them as naïve and extremely sheltered children #and 2) kind of worship them and rely on them for connection to this supernatural force in the world #i imagine this makes the priestesses very insular and have a strong but complicated relationship with each other #and an even more complicated relationship with bringing new children into being who are like them #anyways uh i think this is a neat idea

#painting #acrylic #food #art #traditional art #knife #i started this one for class but didn't end up finishing it and so i went back and actually did it in my own time.#and i'm really happy with it!! i think it benefitted from taking my time on it #that's my brother's knife and it's like his favorite thing he owns #still life #?

collage for a different class last semester

#this one is really simple but i think it works #collage #art #insect

monoprint for another class. i was trying to think about the history of objects, all of the hands that touch them before they arrive at their final destination, so i printed on top of the instruction booklets for some of the stuff i bought when i moved into my new apartment. i think this one is the one from my desk?

#art #traditional art #printmaking #monoprint #this one isn't even from this semester lmfao i just had a vision of how i was going to present it that just never really worked out #it was definitely supposed to be sort of an anticapitalist critique but i'm not sure that reading comes across clearly in the series #and also the other 3 pieces in the series just kind of weren't that good #i like this one though

some fantasy illustrations for another class. the landscape is loosely based on some photos i took while i was visiting family in ireland. i was trying to play around with textures more than i usually do

#art #illustration #fantasy illustration #digital art #digital illustration #i've basically completely invented this setting for the drawing and i'll be honest with you. idk what's going on here #does everyone in these cloudtop cities wear the wings?#i feel like no but who knows

class again. this was my first time using acrylic. i think it turned out decent for a first try.

#art #painting #acrylic #monochrome #i made this before the lyke one #landscape?#water tower

another one for class. ink and pencil.

#drawing #art #pencil #ink #mixed media #thumbtack #self harm kinda i guess #this one's big it's like 22 by 24 or something. idk. bigger than my ruler.

comic i made for my comics workshop class. we made an anthology themed around the title “big egg,” and this was my entry for it.
