Context

Commemorative monument at the centre of a crowded city plaza on a sunny summer afternoon. Statues of various people and ornaments are placed on the side of the monument, and on top, the statue of the war hero I just painted (although, this time, from the back and fully shaded). You may find a few pigeons resting on it.

Quote with your blue art

Watercolour painting depicting a small wharf on a river still partly covered with ice. The wharf is made of rocks and wood beams.

Digital painting of a shepherd and her sheep in a winter landscape. The shepherd is covered in a tattered blanket and a scarf, and walking with a metal stick adorned with a cute pink character toy. Behind the subjects, a large city bridge.

Digital painting of a woman, knee-deep in sea water, and seagulls. The woman extends her arms, as if to imitate the seabirds, head tilted back. A white dress ripped at the chest covers her body, a very long sheer fabric covers her arms, and a strange substance covers her head.

Watercolor painting of a small lake covered in snow. Behind the lake, a forest, and a house, roof also covered. Dead reeds surround the shore.

The sky said happy pride 🥲

Jeans #art #characterdesign

Watercolor and gouache painting of a swordsman in a white background. Nearly everything he wears is denim: his coat, his bell-bottom pants dragging through the floor, even his hat garnished with feathers and belt buckles. Only his boots and belts are leather, and the shirt peaking through wool. His face is partially covered, but you can see his goatee. He holds a simple metal musket.

Not me self-inserting my art in Paralives

Screenshot from the video game Paralives, showing a bedroom with wood panels on the ceiling and a turquoise carpet and a queen size bed. On the wall, a framed painting of a woman swinging on a rope and a tyre, with abandoned skyscrapers in the background.

New stickers soon. I thought for a time that I was late for the bandwagon somehow, but now I know I really needed to do this. In fact, it just got personal. Before you ask: I changed the text since, cuz it sounded like I was disagreeing with my friends. No, I’m fully with my friends. #art #procreate

Photo of an old IPad shot diagonally. The IPad screen shows a digital painting on Procreate, depicting head to neck a grey tabby cat hissing, surrounded by the phrase ‘ALL MY FRIENDS HATE A.I.’

Other day plein air sesh #art #watercolor

Sketchbook on grass, its page half-filled with a watercolour painting representing a lake with trees in the back and reeds on the side. A great blue heron hides in the reeds.

The same lake shore from the painting, with the trees, the reeds, and the heron. This time, there are also geese floating by.

Last year mermaid #art #mermay

Digital painting. From a bird's eye view, we see a cargo ship crossing the ocean and a giant mermaid looming underwater. The mermaid takes the appearance of a curvy woman with long straight hair, with the tail of a whale.

#art #watercolour

Watercolour painting in front of its subjects. The painting depicts a statue of a woman in veils, teaching a similarly dressed child who holds a scroll. Like the sculpture, the painting is in monochrome orange/brown.

Oh, #portfolioday again! My name is Ten Asselin (pen name), I'm a Canadian freelance illustrator who loves storytelling and bringing ideas to paper. I'm open for work and commissions. Portfolio: cara.app/ten7asselin Email: tenasselin@outlook.com

Digital painting. It's winter and light snow is falling down. A shepherd, a white woman with red cheeks, headband on her head and tattered cape on her body, is turning her back on you, looking at the horizon. She is surrounded by her sheeps. In the back, you can recognize a city bridge.

We call him Grey Wolf (Wolf for short). He's really a sweetheart, if you can get past his mean resting face and lack of expressions #art #digitalpainting #digitalart #oc

Four monochromatic digital drawings of the same guy, Wolf, a lanky man of long hair with shaved sides. In each, Wolf wears a different outfit with a different purpose.

In the first drawing, labeled "Winter", his face is covered by a whool tuque, a long scarf that seem to outsize him, and a hidden face cover. A cape made of an old blanket is tied on top of a winter jacket. A pair of jeans seems to be worn over many layers of pants. To finish it off, his leather boots is tied all around above the ankle for security.

The second is labeled "Casual". Wolf is more relaxed, smoking a joint in his t-shirt depicting wolves, loose pants cut off above the seams, and a rope to hold them all together.

In the "Farmer" drawing, Wolf seems to be fixing something on his leg. His hair is tied up. He wears a tank top, the loosest possible pants with patches at the knees, bands of fabric at the lower legs, and trekking boots secured at the ankles. On his waist is tied an utility belt where he keeps various gardening tools and tiny bags, likely for seeds. Wolf holds an uprooted sweet rocket, a plant considered invasive in North America.

Lastly, Wolf poses for his "Adventurer" outfit. He wears a loose t-shirt tucked inside cargo pants, and a leather belt tied wrongly for lack of buckle. He is barefoot, his trekking boots hanging from his backpack. On his neck are hanging a whistle, a pair of goggles and a compass. A long straight branch is helping him walk along difficult terrains.

Me at Marché Spring Fling for the weekend, at 5945 rue Cartier. Hurry before they’re all gone #montreal

Table at a market featuring framed artworks, printed artworks and stickers of various sizes. Please don’t mind the stains on the ceiling; I didn’t do that.

Showed up just in time #art #digitalart #birds

A pile of stickers in clear plastic bags and two individual stickers outside the bags. There are two sticker models: one representing a sparrow, the other a black-capped chickadee. The one with the chickadee says “I’m happy because I’m not on Twitter”, or the equivalent in French. The sparrow one seems to bear a similar message.
