Hello hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sandal, a digital artist who loves taking the viewer on a journey through the whimsical and mysterious. 🖌️https://sandalart.carrd.co/

A digital painting of a middle aged woman with a wavy bob wearing plate armor and a bright red cloak brandishing a spear atop a ceratosaurus: a blue feathered dinosaur with a long tail and two horns atop its beak, spit flying around as it screeches at the sky from the top of a waterfall. They are lit by a sunrise, birds flying around tall mountain peaks in purple and orange hues.

A digital painting of a medieval beekeeper in a foggy forest with blue undertones, standing on a cliff. The figure has four arms, one of which is holding a beehive on a stick, bees flying around them. Two of their hands are in front of their stomach, holding a container that leaks smoke.

A digital painting of the blue house with the red roof from the Moomin stories by Tove Jansson in the moominvalley in an orange-purple sunset. A path meanders from the foreground, across a bridge, to the house, where smoke is coming from the chimney.

A digital painting of a glass blower, a white woman with dark brown hair in a bun atop her head. She's blowing into red hot molten glass through a pipe in front of an oven. Around her flutter butterflies, seemingly also made of the same molten glass. The picture is painting at a Dutch angle, with warm orange tones on the figure and blue tones for the background.

I painted this to grieve a friend of mine who passed away this week. she used mask symbolism in her poetry, and hid how much anguish she was in every day. now she no longer has to hide. I hope she has found peace.

A digital painting of a shattered porcelain mask with a tear running from the eye that's still intact.

Hello!! I'm Sandal and I love creating mysterious fantasy. Come on a journey with me!

A digital painting of a floating knight wearing a crusader helmet and chainmail above bare, dead feet, carrying a rusty sword in their hands, in a bog. The sun rises behind them, silhouetting the other rusty swords sticking out of the water.

A digital painting of a brick gatehouse in a mountain pass dotted in gigantic red boils. The atmosphere is grim, sickly, greenish yellow. A hand, definitely not human, stretches against the inside of one of the boils.

Today is my birthday! 🥳 Would love it if you could share my art so people can enjoy it!

A digital painting of a bust of a white woman with dark hair in a milkmaid braid wearing dark plate armor and gauntlets. She's caressing a yellow squid with her right hand on a nebula-esque purple background with subtle stars shining through.

If you see this, post your blue art. 🔵🧊

A digital painting of a majestic deer standing atop a sunlit cliff in the middle of a dense forest. The cliff rises from a small lake. Green moss covers the rocks in the foreground, and light shines through the trees.

A digital painting of a gigantic rock figure covered in fir trees sitting on the edge of a cliff, seemingly taking a break. In the foreground a human with pale skin is sitting on a bench, taking a sip from their water bottle and checking the map, mirroring the pose of the rock figure. They are backdropped by a blue sky with soft clouds.

A digital painting of a female pixie with brown skin and long black hair taking a hot bath in a porcelain teacup with pink flowers on the side, combing the blood out of her hair. She's wearing green satin shift. A bloodied needle lies on the ground, and bloody footsteps lead to a stepping stool. The window behind the pixie is frosted over in blue undertones.

A digital painting of a giant green snake with its jaw open and fangs out, fighting an elf in wooden armor with a spear and a brace around their knee in a damp cave, water trickling down the ceiling. The snake curls around the foreground, emphasizing its length.

At the Queen's Side #ArtSky #DigitalArt #FantasyArt

A digital painting of a white woman with greying hair in a bun, wearing a golden regency-style dress, holding a staff with a golden bulb at the tip. In front of her and behind her two large bitterns stand proudly at her side. Two purple velvet curtains are draped from the ceiling and the checkered floor reflects the scene from below. The atmosphere of the piece is regal.

april 2025 versus april 2026 ✌️ sometimes I feel like all I do are repaints but this one was quite accidental 😂

A digital painting of an alerted white-tailed deer in a foggy green forest with old thick trees in the foreground and a brook meandering through the foreground.

The Glassblower There's plenty of cool fantasy paintings about smiths, but not enough about glassblowers or other crafts. Tried to give it a whirl!

sandal@sandaldraws· Apr 17

Congrats on the 2k! 🤠 I'm Sandal and I love taking people on adventures!

A digital painting of a Black woman with a long wavy ponytail carrying a thin wooden staff with a green magic light on top, wandering through a desert canyon underneath a blue sky. She's in awe, yet on her guard. A rock outcrop in the shape of a face stares at her.

Hello #PortfolioDay 🥰 I'm Sandal. Come on a journey with me! 🖌️ sandalart.carrd.co

A digital painting of a Black adventurer with their wavy hair in a high ponytail, wearing a purple cape, green waistcoat, and beige pants standing in front of a circular golden entrance holding up a lantern. A curious fox slaloms around their legs, while a small goblin in a purple jacket, a tall pink hat, and a belt full with letters stands in amazement, hands before their mouth and eyes wide. They have discovered a vault in which the candles on the candelabras are already lit, and is chock full of books, book cases, and curious items such as an owl skull with gems for eyes (one has fallen out) and an armillary sphere atop a pile of books in the foreground. Papers are scattered across the floor, and there's a mysterious air around the place.

Did a paintover of a painting I made back in October 2025 to see how much I've improved... I've traded brighter colors for more atmosphere and storytelling, and I'm mostly a lot savvier on how to use references. Onwards! #FantasyArt #ArtSky

Strange Machines (hard, mechanical surfaces are extremely my weakness but I tried my best) #Art #ArtSky #FantasyArt

A digital painting of a hoverbike pilot in the middle of a desert canyon town. They're wearing a blue leather outfit and a scarf around their mouth and nose. They're carrying their helmet, staring up at their surroundings with curiosity. People are flocking to the orange hover bike, and a child is reaching out to touch it.

You Cannot Kill Me in a Way That Matters a quickie - I really needed to work on something not zine-related today. #ArtSky #FantasyArt

A digital painting of a large white type of fungi, shedding black tar-like substance from its hood. It's standing on a natural bridge across a river swallowed by a cave entrance. At the bottom of the mushroom, a human figure reaches out, covered in the substance - was it shaped by the mushroom or was it a human once, covered in black goo?

Hellooo I'm Sandal and I love sending off people on a journey with my art!

A digital painting of a pond in the patio of a temple, covered in green duckweed with waterlilies floating about. A young woman with brown skin and dark hair ascends the stairs in the middle of the canvas, holding a basket with pink petals that are also strewn on top of the head of the crocodile in the middle of the pond with streaks of red blood curling around its imposing figure. Yet the woman seems unafraid, as though her and the animal have a connection.

I always go feral for a yellow rectangle around a sketch

‪ Digital artists, share your first digital art and year vs. now ✨ 2006 versus 2026. I didn't get serious-serious about my art until 2018 thereabouts but it still feels like twenty damn years of toiling.

A digital drawing of a white woman in a long black dress with a green top and long black hair in a bright green field. She's facing the camera, holding a red light in her left hand. Wind blows around her, but rays of sunlight peek through the dark clouds.

Congrats on the milestone! Your poses have helped me so much, especially with gesture drawing! 2017 versus 2026
