My fit for the new Nikki story - we steampunk now! It's kinda fun because there's an entire city with automatons that you can ride and start/stop with the new abilities. :D #InfinityNikki #ShareYourGames

From my 2010 mini Moleskine: studies of items that I own. And a guy that I saw outside the grocery store, balancing a shovel on his head. Yes indeed! ...and now I really miss recording my life through art. #ThrowbackThursday #sketch #sketchbook #MastoArt #FediArt

A little #ArtTip from my latest Ko-Fi post: When working digitally, the typical cube or triangle colour wheels don&#39;t do a good job of showing the brighter hues intuitively. Here&#39;s a little trick: switch to the L*a*b colour space. It shows colour relations in a more natural way and it&#39;s much easier to adjust the sliders and get a good result. I write art blogs each month and share thoughts and tips as they come up in my own paintings. The newest post: https://ko-fi.com/p...

This #ThrowbackThursday we time-travel back to 2008. I painted a mermaid with some butterflies, heavily inspired by the song &quot;Pretty Fin&quot; by Pati Yang. #MerMay #mermaid #MastoArt #FediArt

Ah, so the Ko-Fi &quot;nudity ToS violation&quot; has gotten me - for a currently *unpublished* post. It was the colour value reference for the &quot;Sirens&quot; painting, which is indeed unclothed 3D figures, although I censored everything in advance. I have removed the image and submitted an appeal already, but yeah they unpublished my entire page for it. They didn&#39;t even point out WHICH image was the problem, so I had to guess. Fun! #KoFi

I am super excited to announce that my work &quot;Sirens&quot; is on the cover of the sapphic horror anthology, &quot;It Ends With Her&quot;! Love blooms as swiftly as it devours. Pull back the layers to delve into the devotion and longing, the lust and the love, the triumphs and tragedy in this sapphic horror collection. Out June 5, 2026.

The fun part of the artistic #ThrowbackThursday is that I get to skip down the memory lane and show you the art that is old, but still meaningful. Today, it&#39;s a 2010 study of what used to be my favourite pair of shoes. I miss them! I still have the purple &amp; orange bed cover, though. #art #study #LifeStudy #shoes #MastoArt #FediArt

Commission for Dara - a moment from her upcoming fanzine fic, where Sherlock and Jon are in their 50s. And as close as ever! :D This was my first time ageing up characters! They&#39;re 21 originally. I hope I did them justice. The two swallows are a reference to the game, though you may need a keen eye to catch it! #SherlockHolmesChapterOne #SherlockHolmes #MastoArt #FediArt
