it was amazing!! 🫶 and while I’ve been hating on the temporary grandstands being a hassle and an eyesore in summer months, once you’re in the venue and facing the castle it admittedly feels kinda cool, especially at sunset (but now I can go back to hating)

A painterly portrait of two characters. Standing to the left is a tall and dark skinned man with long, wavy, white hair and spiky ears. He's wearing a black tuxedo and wrapped around his neck is a lavish red cravat. To the right stands a slightly shorter man of a slim build, tanned skin and short, dark brown hair. He's wearing a dark blue tuxedo with a high collar. Commissioned artwork for spo1ler.bsky.social.

A painterly portrait of two women in exquisite wedding attire. Sitting on the left and partially hidden in the shadows is a pale, silver-haired woman wearing a silver dress and enveloped in a delicate veil and cloak the colour of pale violet; her hands are placed in her lap and she's staring at the viewer somewhat ominously. Standing right next to her is a brown-haired woman who looks slightly flushed. Her dress is a colour of sand and ivory and adorning it is a number of gold decorations, including a necklace and an elaborate headpiece.
A commissioned artwork for a client of their original characters.

Hello, #PortfolioDay ! I'm Iga and I'm a freelance artist working in digital and traditional media with a love for all things fantasy and horror. I'm open to both private and commercial commissions & I would love to work on some book covers! 🔗 scherville.com 💌 scherville.art@gmail.com

The woman's hair is dark blue and she is wearing an elegant black and navy dress with flowing sleeves. The man is blonde and he's wearing a grey-ish suit and white shirt underneath. They sit in a tender embrace, the man resting his head in the crook of the woman's neck.

My 2016 art actually feels like it belongs ten years ago, which is not to say it was bad, just very different! I was super into drag back then and I didn’t reach my final form until about a year or two later when I discovered the horror/monster genre of queer art, but that’s a tale for next year 🦇

An illustration of two drag queens donning rather exceptional, gargantuan wigs. Trixie (left) is wearing pink, Katya is wearing black and holding a phone purse. #other

An illustration of the drag artist Kim Chi, wearing an all pink wig and dress as well as lots of sparkles. #other
