Hildegard has no time for weasels. She claims she deplores them for the sake of her ancient cockatrice ancestry.

#Boktober

Hen and Weasel.
Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing mostly in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen with feathers puffed and hackles raised, facing a least weasel standing on a fallen branch in the grass. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

I very much believe that the kindness you show others comes back to you ❤️

And as ghosts are not my kind of thing, I stayed with my wish to create cute stuff. So I gave this cutie some attention :)

It's simple, but I love it!

Next one I just finished 🐁💚

~2~ mushroom

@julsteele.bsky.social was so kind to share some cool shrooms with me I just had to draw. Fireflies are also involved cause I wanted some shiny things.

The shrooms look even prettier in your artwork! <3

Sheela in all her glory 🥰

Kept the colors as simple as possible as I would overdo it (I know myself to well)

Added a little bit of glitter and a splash of color and I like the outcome 💚

Finished piece of my cyberpunk character standing before her bike, scanning the area.

Colored with watercolors, ink and colored pencils in monochrome, with some green details

The outfit in question.

The fancy outfit on a mannequin in a shop window.

I have no idea how to finish a picture anymore, so I've started four different ones of the same character who's my current obsession. This one will remain a sketch though, just wanted to capture the vibe. Noë in a fancy outfit we saw in Florence, and a pose from Trueref.

Rough digital drawing of an androgynous person with blonde curls in a fancy, elegant outfit.

Ooh, I remember this one. It's one of the artworks that really inspired me to get better at drawing in general and colouring in particular. <3

@julsteele.bsky.social Sep 23, 2026, 8:02 PM

That pose and expression are just perfect! Can relate to the wip struggle though.

@julsteele.bsky.social Sep 23, 2026, 7:53 PM

Such vibrant colours! I like his little blep. :)

@julsteele.bsky.social Aug 28, 2026, 7:45 PM

Yay, Ockam! <3 All the details you put in these outfits are so neat! I might need to take a lesson or two and not stick everyone in jeans and t-shirts. XD
