And finally, the last chapter image in the set featuring the infamous Smaug! I'd love to do more of these one day, but for now I've got other projects to work on! I hope you like them~! I'll post them all up together soon!

Got the next Hobbit piece done! I of course had to do the chapter where we meet Gollum. He's such a fun and interesting character & I think I captured his impish yet menacing qualities~!

Finally finished the first chapter header for my Hobbit series! This was a blast to work on, I can't wait to do the others! Hope y'all like it!

Took some time to draw some personal art featuring my character, Kallie, and my friend's character, Ravell. They've got a real enemies to lovers vibe about their relationship, so I wanted to portray the frustration and annoyance of their earlier moments as well as their mutual attraction for one another. I really love how this one turned out, even if it's a bit different than the kind of work I've been doing lately! I wanted it to feel a little bit like a book cover.

For my dear friend's birthday, I drew his lovely #kobold gal, Serris! Happy birthday, @Puppet-guy!

Here's some sketches for those Hobbit chapter headers I mentioned! Featuring the trolls, Gollum, & Smaug. These will be finessed & completed soon, & I might do more!

Decided to give the Monsters.Go prompt on Instagram a try! Love the idea behind these. Monsters designed by kids that we get to do fanart of? What's there not to love! 💖This design was done by Travis. Hi, Travis!

I was struggling a little with chapter art featuring Gollum for my interpretation of The Hobbit so I decided to do a little concept sheet for him.

Decided to do my take on a cover for J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit as a piece for my portfolio! It started as an Artober Prompt, but you could say I got a bit carried away with it. I really enjoyed this & might do a few additional chapter headers for some of my favorite scenes!

For the theme "Werewolf"! Wanted to practice some story-telling with this one. Hope you find it as funny as I do! Poor girl! 🤣(For Artober 2022!)

For the theme "Current Obsession." Right now I'm married to making a new portfolio & finally working towards my dream of being an illustrator, so that's what I chose! Little self portraits~! Also featuring my lil elderly pupper, Miska~ (For Artober 2022!)

[nikoashheart]

For the theme "Duo." I've wanted to draw both versions of Ariel for a long time now, so this was a perfect opportunity! They're both so lovely~ (For Artober 2022!)

Mean Girls day! I couldn't resist the meme, so I opted for a screenshot redraw, but I experimented a lot. I think I got the right vibe, though! (For Artober 2022!)

[nikoashheart]

Ursa Minor & Major! I got lost in the sauce on this one & spent so much time on it, but look how cute! I love how this one turned out! (For Artober 2022!) What's your favorite constellation? 💫

Olivia the Octopus Witch! Olivia herself was fun to draw, but I'm in love with her cat Archie. Look at that face. He's flawless. (For Artober 2022!)
