An Artist and Storyteller

Found these little mushroom guys while going through old artwork. And reworked them a bit and I think they came out pretty well . 🍄

Octavia 💖

One of my goals with this piece was to work a little faster than I normally do. It was nice focusing on the overall colors and mood instead of obsessing over every tiny detail.

Finished just in time for Pride Month 🌈 Jk.

Honestly, a whole month always feels a little excessive to me. A week or hell, even a weekend, seems like plenty of time for festivals, parades, and celebrating.

That aside, here’s Xander and Zane being disgustingly in love as usual.

Working on some AU/story related sketches lately ✨ Mostly just playing around with character designs, fabrics, jewelry, and different vibes for them. I didn’t really have a set plan going into these pages, I just wanted to draw my pretty boy and see where it went.

…and yeah, it’s Xander again. Just in a different setting this time.

Some doodles in a Oceanography notebook 💖

Just wanted to make something bright, colorful, and whimsical 💖 Had a lot of fun turning the jacket into these giant cloud-like shapes.

Got a new Moleskine sketchbook recently ✨ one of the first things I always do with a new sketchbook is test how different pens, inks, and sometimes other mediums behave on the paper before I properly start drawing in it

Also yes that’s Xander in the corner 👀

Wanted to draw some tiny wandering spirit orbs 👻 a little inspired by local paranormal stories and spirit orb sightings

[themeltingmoons]

Played around with brighter colors and a more creature-like design for this one

My mermaid in a more classic little mermaid this time ✨

dip pen for the linework and Copics for a touch of color 💚

a little Mother’s Day piece for Sophia Calavera 🌿 wanted to draw Xander’s mama with baby Xander

[themeltingmoons]

wanted to do a softer piece of Yule 🌿 honestly took me a while to settle on his pose and outfit, but the vision was basically just: pretty soft boy, shirtless, in jeans, surrounded by plants

I was going to participate in this Mermay challenge, but I decided not to. Having to finish a piece and take a good photo every day started to feel more stressful than fun, so I ended up only completing four prompts from the list. I’ll still make sure to make some mermaid pieces this month though.

drew this for Beltane 🌿 a celebration of the height of spring, life, and masculine energy

I didn’t finish it in time to post on the day, but I like to think that’s because I was busy actually living it. this year’s Beltane fell on a full moon, and I was in the middle of preparing a spell. This is Xander, with a bit of horned god influence.

this was literally just an excuse to draw Yule’s long hair and Her name is Litha, she kind of just appeared

[themeltingmoons]

Inspired by a bunny plush from Dreadful Plushies 🐰 wanted to make something soft and comforting for someone important to me 🖤 Autism acceptance 🌈
