Studies from Pinterest photos

A close-up digital painting of a relaxed hand resting over dark clothing. The back of the hand faces upward, with long fingers hanging naturally downward. A gold signet ring engraved with an “M” sits on the ring finger, providing the main focal point. A white shirt cuff frames the wrist, contrasting with the dark fabric beneath. Painterly brushwork and soft lighting accentuate veins, tendons, and the contours of the hand, giving it a realistic yet stylized appearance. A subtle “Chaos Codices” signature is visible in the lower left.

A digital painting of a single hand extending upward against a soft off-white background. The wrist enters from the lower left, with the back of the hand facing the viewer. The index and middle fingers are gently raised together while the ring finger and little finger curl inward, creating an elegant, expressive gesture. Warm skin tones are rendered with broad painterly brushstrokes, emphasizing tendons, knuckles, and subtle highlights. The composition is minimal, with generous negative space surrounding the hand. A small “Chaos Codices” artist mark appears near the bottom.

A page of monochrome digital hand studies on a pale beige background. Four sketches explore different poses: a loosely clenched hand viewed from the palm side, an open hand with fingers spread and the back of the hand visible, a slender hand seen from above with fingers gently together, and an open palm turned upward. Loose construction lines and simplified shading reveal the drawing process, while careful attention to anatomy highlights the structure of fingers, joints, tendons, and wrists.

Photograph showing a printmaking plate beside its corresponding black-and-white print. The translucent plate on the left carries the bird image in reverse with creases and taped edges, while the finished print on the right reproduces the standing bird on white paper. Both rest on a grey felt surface, highlighting the relationship between matrix and print.

Little study turned Draco Malfoy

A stylized digital portrait depicts a pale, shirtless young man with short white hair and a serious expression, standing in front of a large classical marble statue of a similarly youthful figure. The statue’s blank eyes and weathered stone surface contrast with the living subject’s warm skin tones and sharp features, while their nearly aligned faces create the impression of the person emerging from or echoing the sculpture. Soft, muted beige and grey brushstrokes give the composition a painterly, dreamlike atmosphere.

Screenshot of Procreate showing a digital illustration in progress. The canvas features a clean line drawing and rough grayscale shading of a shirtless young man with swept-back hair standing in front of a large classical marble statue. A small floating reference window in the upper left displays the black-and-white reference image used for the drawing, showing the same composition with a real person posed before the statue. The Procreate interface surrounds the artwork, with drawing tools along the top, sliders on the left, and most of the canvas still unpainted, revealing the sketch and early value-blocking stage.

Inspired by the Once and Future Forest by @landbeorht.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/603058...

Stylized digital illustration of a misty forest framed by dark tree trunks. At the center, a large twisted tree with moss-covered bark rises from a cluster of rounded boulders, its gnarled branches reaching outward in dramatic curves. Pale blue-grey tree trunks fade into the fog in the background, creating depth and an ethereal atmosphere. A small white unicorn stands quietly in the distance on the right, partially veiled by mist. Soft light filters through the trees, illuminating patches of moss and scattered glowing specks near the rocks. The overall palette is muted greens, teals, and cool greys, evoking a quiet, magical woodland.

Hermione from "Courting Trouble" by quicknotesquim archiveofourown.org/works/697777...

A moody digital painting of a woman in a ballet tutu standing in dramatic low light. She has long auburn hair and a pale strapless bodice, with one hand on her hip and the other lifting her hair behind her head. Her head tilts downward, giving her a tired or introspective expression. Strong warm highlights and deep blue shadows create a theatrical atmosphere against a dark, indistinct background.

Draco and Theo at the end of a complicated day

Two young men sit close together on simple chairs against a dark teal background. Both wear dark jackets and trousers; one has pale blond hair and a white shirt, the other dark hair and a black shirt. Their faces and hands are marked with cuts and smears of blood. Each holds a cigarette. The blond figure looks down, slouched and withdrawn, while the dark-haired figure leans slightly toward him, watching with a concerned, quiet expression.

A black-and-white photo of two young men seated on mismatched chairs in a worn, industrial-looking room with peeling paint on the wall. One, with light hair, sits slouched and looks down; the other, with dark hair, leans toward him with one hand on the chair and the other resting on his leg. Both wear casual, fitted clothing and dress shoes. Their body language suggests a quiet, tense moment of attention or support.

Zurich, mid morning. Dramione

Illustrated winter street scene in a European town (Zurich): snow falls softly over pastel buildings and a narrow road, while a couple stands in the foreground embracing. One person with light blond hair gently holds the other’s face as they lean together, both bundled in coats and scarves, creating a quiet, intimate moment against the snowy backdrop.

General Brand Rockstar AU Draco Malfoy

His head is tilted back, exposing his neck, and his arms hang slightly away from his sides with palms open. He wears loose black pants tied at the waist. A skull-and-snake tattoo is visible on one forearm, and the words “CHAOS and CODICES” are written on the other forearm.

Are you reading Saltwater by @gingerbaggins.bsky.social? I think you should. archiveofourown.org/works/780530...

Illustration of two young people (Draco and Hermione) standing close together in a grey, industrial stairwell. One has short blond hair and wears a dark coat, looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. The other has shoulder-length curly auburn hair, wears a dark coat, and turns slightly toward the viewer. Both figures are softly lit against angular concrete walls and metal railings, creating a tense, subdued atmosphere.

Photo of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in a photo shoot for The X-Files standing side by side outdoors near a metal staircase and industrial-looking building. One wears a dark leather jacket and black pants with a belt, hands in pockets; the other wears a long dark coat. Both face the camera with calm, slightly serious expressions, the background softly out of focus.

Illustration of a quiet living room: a long, brown-haired woman (Hermione Granger) in a white dress lies reclined on a green velvet sofa with books stacked beside her, while a platinum-haired man (Draco Mafoy) plays an upright piano nearby.
