Moody lake vista.
I am back from vacation, but need to spend the next couple of days catching up with work. So for now I will just post the first of my vacation week arts, and will fill in the rest over the next couple of days.
ALT: ink painting, landscape. Dark, almost black hill silhouetted against stormy looking clouds and water that is raked with patterns representing ripples that didn’t come out nearly the way I wish they had. Still. I like that it’s stark bands of dark and light, and the way the ink behaved to represent clouds is pretty satisfying to me.

bubble dragon

summer dragon
ALT: ink drawing, lots of bright colors (orange, yellow, green, and blue). It’s the neck and head of something that looks like a seahorse maybe combined with a serpent. It has a sort of fiery mane and crown as well.
