Loona has got her supercharged Dodge Charger & is ready for an evening of hellhound-themed mischief. (The city skyline is a Clip Studio Store asset. I didn't draw it! 😅)

A bay owl sketch I did on stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wreQT94IOxI) this past Saturday.  This thing is like a goblin and a normal owl had a baby or something. [ID: A digital sketch of a bay owl done in various shades of orange, brown, and dull purple.  The bird is perched on a large stick. /ID]

While it isn't Autumn here rn, have a cool orange dragon perching on a tree

Last sketch for today, balaur bondoc.  I was trying to do a time lapse for this one, but I kinda got interrupted mid-sketch, so meh. [ID: A balaur bondoc, a small theropod dinosaur, done in blue and raising its wings.  The dinosaur is perched on a branch. /ID]

"A lone figure sits atop a pillar in the middle of the lake. Pale and nude, huddled on his perch, you aren't sure he notices you until he turns his head. Eyes as green as the leaves regard you coolly. 'Will you join me?'" A watercolor I've been working on, off and on, for the last month or so.

***(This artwork was first originally published to DeviantArt on 4/29/2012.)*** ___ # **Come with me now, as you journey deep into the twilight heavens at nightfall. Suddenly, there she is, an intensely beautiful and mystical heron with such elegance and sensuous grace of a grand swan, her body a sparkling white, her eyes a shining sapphire, her radiant wing feathers blending from silver to gold, her long and magically fascinating horn sprouting out of her forehead, and her magnificent headdress a most rare crowning jewel!! Her name is none other than Empress Capria, the supreme ruler of the Hericorns. And the very lovely glimpse of the moonlight beckons her to be gazed upon as well, too!!!** ___ Ever since I, Adigun Azikiwe Polack had first began on DeviantArt on my maiden voyage when I first signed on on November 28, 2006, I can remember with all of my heart and deepest spirit that my very, VERY first art creation that I had ever uploaded period in this art community was a traditional piece that I had first done WAY BACK in 1998 entitled “[_Hericorn of the Heavenly Night_](https://inkblot.art/post/NfdY2KTL4wy2EgtrU0fY)”. Now, 14 years later since I had first drawn this piece originally on paper, here comes my very first full-on digital painting remake EVER that I did originally on DeviantArt in 2012, entitled “***Hericorn of the Heavenly Night - the HD Digital***”, and this even newer version is so handsomely graced in a full 4096x2304 HD format as well as been given the ultimate Adigun Azikiwe Polack artwork-creation treatment, culminating how rather, *rather* much I have seriously improved quite indeed and then some as I went along since my start in 2006 from the very beginning. And now, my grandly splendid ladies and gentlemen, Hericorn Empress Capria has never, ever looked even much rather better than this!!! That is the very first thing you will see right away in this new work, and *everything* has dramatically improved tremendously in its own right among it all!!! Further, “_Hericorn of the Heavenly Night - the HD Digital_” is the even grander scale of everything you would expect from the 1998 original itself, except with two notably interesting differences: * since this is actually in a 4K HD resolution of 4096x2304 indeed, there is A WHOLE LOT more to see (and rather much easier on the eyes, too!!) than the original; and * instead of a perched platform, there is now a pool of water where Capria the Hericorn Empress walks on, since her feet are naturally so light and graceful to begin with. Do quite rather enjoy these improvements!!! ;) ___ **© 2 0 1 2 A d i g u n A z i k i w e P o l a c k .

Got a paper child commission of some Baldur's Gate 3 OCs! Jy'ksyn and Memphys paperchildren for CeilingCow Did you know lutes can have up to 25 strings?

Today's Pagan December drawing for the prompt 'familiar'. This is my cat Myrtle who, despite looking like she's going to eat my face off, sat with this stuffed fish on her head for over half an hour. I love her so much. [ID: A digital painting of a brown tabby cat with a stuffed fish perched on top of her head. /ID]

Last birb for today, the zebra finch. Pretty pleased with this one, especially the way the feet don't look crappy. [ID: A digital painting of a zebra finch perching on a stick. The bird is looking to the viewer's right. /ID]

Yesterday's birb, the nanday parakeet. I found a ref I really liked for these guys but I wasn't up to drawing four birbs in my usual manner, so I did some quick ones. [ID: A digital painting of four nanday parakeets, birds with green bodies and black heads, tails, and tips to their wings. The birds are all perched on a wire. One is hanging precariously by a single foot, one is looking down with concern, and the other two are trying to ignore the situation altogether. /ID]

I know I'm late again this week. I'm in the midst of a lot of school stuff. I've mentioned, I think, but I've gone back to school to get a graphic design certification. I started last Fall and it was my hope to be done by this summer because the certification programs are designed for adults with careers who want to expand their skill sets and so are pared down to only the classes that are directly relevant to the subject matter. In my case that's only 9 classes, so 3 per semester. But unfortunately I had to withdraw in the Spring because of some health issues. So now I'm trying to pick up where I left off after the school went and changed a bunch of their online systems. So now I get to try and recover my old accounts on their new system and deal with class requirements that don't exist for my program, but apparently exist now for individual classes that are required. And on top of that we're prepping our toddler to go to daycare, which comes with A LOT of paperwork and supplies lists and doctor signatures and also EMOTIONS. Anyway. Today's palette comes from a poster that appears to have been an activist piece of art. I've tried not to go into too much detail here about the posters since the bulk of this book is the palettes and the pieces they were picked from. I'm already posting every single palette in the book, so I'd rather not include the posters also. But I just love this one so much, I have to at least share the information so you can look it up yourselves. It's called "Dig" by Sadie Wendell Mitchell, it's part of a series she did called "Girls Will Be Girls". It depicts a young woman perched on a chair engrossed in a book, and also surrounded by stacks of books. Only a few of the books have visible titles, "The Study of Bugology", "The Psychology of the Male Human", and "Economy" (the one she's reading). And on the wall you can see part of a poster that says "DO IT NOW". It feels like a very pointed protestation as a poster designed in 1909. I struggled with this palette a lot. It's not only very similar to a lot of the previous palettes, the values are just so similar, particular with the green and teal. It works fine in the original poster because Mitchell used a heavy black outline, but the author of the book chose not to include that in the palette. I actually started a completely different piece that going to be a face study, but I just didn't like the way the colors were playing together. So I ended up scrapping it. So I pulled back a bit. Our dahlias have started blooming and the first ones to pop were these gorgeous red and yellow blooms, and I've wanted to draw a fairy for one of these for several palettes so far, so I did it. The dahlias were SO much easier and more fun to draw than the peony was. They're so geometric, I really just enjoyed layering the petals and the colors. I attempted to give the fairy some petal clothes, but it just wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. And I think the form is distinct enough to make her out. I do really like the effect of the teal on the green; the heavy similarities of them both make the fairy and flowers pop more. I do wish I'd filled in some more greenery in the background, but honestly I'd spent so much time on this palette already I didn't have it in me. I'm really pleased with the final result, though, and I doubt this will be the last fairy piece in this series. I want to shout out [Fat Photo Ref](https://www.fatphotoref.com/) again. I used them for the pose and the hair for the fairy and I remain exceptionally pleased with the range of references available and the easy navigation.
