A digital art piece made by me of a conversation between a character that belongs to me (left) and another character that belongs to @-Shade- (right)!
This one took a looong time to draw, but was ultimately worth it in the end, from the foliage, to the wall, and the lighting! ❤️

Lovely! Not sure but one of the rules says " No water marks".

Not sure if what you have on your art counts as a watermark.

This is a traditional piece done by me of a scythe that I drew! It’s smaller than it looks. ;)
This was done with just a mechanical pencil, and I’m really happy with how it came out.

Pink Beta Fish, chalk pastel on mixed media paper.

Gorgeous! My aquarium guy used to have one in the front tank of his shop. Everytime a customer entered, the Beta would act like a dog and swim around frantically. He and the fish would then have serious conversations lol
