One day I saw cool #owl photo, with one leg in pose like this. It was normal bird and it still looked like some cartoon #villain, maybe dark #sorcerer preparing evil spell
I HAD TO create this...

Drawing of a humanoid white owl with big head, wearing purple robes with vertical blue strip and ren rune symbols. Owl's leg is its right hand here, outstretched ahead, with big black claws visible.

I discovered G'MIC a few months ago. Needless to say making #art in #Krita has become even more fun.

This image has been Glazed and Shaded.

A strange abstract painting of space. It has been hit with a filter that makes it appear liquid; many of the colors run and bleed into each other, though not as starkly as a pixel-sorted image. The image has also been hit with a gradient map. Its colors show off a display of dark grays and ambers. Many amber-colored stars cover the image.

A rejected idea for an album cover. The text was a placeholder. I love the feel of the second image, though.

This image has been Glazed and Shaded.

An abstract digital painting of a space-esque scene. Rainbow stars and bokeh are set against a dark purple background. There is a light purple "water" texture covering the image. The effects of both Glaze and Nightshade can be seen, giving the image an artistic crispy quality.

The same digital painting as before, pixel-sorted. The rainbow stars and bokeh have become strips of color at the top and bottom of the image, resembling auroras. There is now rainbow text in the center that reads, "I am but a moment in time".

I dabble in zine-making from time to time. This was part of a draft that never came to fruition.

This image has been Glazed and Shaded.

A digital painting of the sky and stars, all done up in gentle blues and purples. There is text in the center which reads, "Is it only a dream?". The text is glowing slightly.

I have a new favorite technique...

This image has been Glazed and Shaded.

An abstract digital painting. Many rough textures and dark colors meet strong beams of light, like rays of sun. The painting shows off wonderful shades of blues, purples, oranges, and pinks.

The same digital painting as before, but pixel-sorted. Now each pixel appears to "bleed" off to the right-hand side, with darker pixels making a border line right against the lighter pixels, like the meeting of two seas.

The same pixel-sorted painting as before, but gradient-mapped to blues and greens and with a layer of bokeh covering everything.

The same gradient-mapped pixel-sorted image as before, without the bokeh. The blue and green hues are easier to see here.

You can pixel sort anything you want. I made this by sorting a glitch brush. Pretty neat!

This image has been Glazed and Shaded.

A strange digital painting that has been pixel sorted. It shows a rainbow, the colors bleeding or dripping down from above. Pixels of the same hue are grouped together but the sort did not account for lightness, meaning many dark pixels are incorporated. It looks very textured, almost like granite.

The same digital painting as before, with a new gradient overlaid on top. Now, the colors are quite light and dreamy rather than gritty.

The same digital painting as before, with a new gradient overlaid on top. The colors appear richer and more vibrant.

The same digital painting as before, with a new gradient overlaid on top. A huge "sunbeam" covers the painting from the right and washes out the colors of the rest of the image. It looks sunkissed.

My cat-dragon Maalamin playing with #wool - because it's a thing cats should do, right?

(not to confuse with my old drawings with ball of wool as a symbol itself, even if wool on those pictures had similar colour... it is not related, unless some mystic force of fate was guiding my subconsciousness )

Maalamin's element is lightning, not fire... of course, cat's element should be static electricity (here paste that legend about Nikola Tesla as a kid, inspired by static charges on cat's fur) and it is both #dragon and #cat. Well, big cat. I imagine it about pony size, or slightly bigger (at least longer).

This time with wings hidden/disappeared because doing cat things with fairy-style wings could be inconvenient. Maalamin could hide or expose them if needed.
