Adar, my love 🖤

I always have a heart for the morally grey characters and Adar from The Rings of Power is definitely one of a kind.

He's not an original Tolkien character but I like how they build his background story and what intentions they gave him. And that he's not so easy to read.

I also love both actors, who portrayed Adar, because they did such an amazing job! (They changed the actor after season one).

I'll definitely rewatch the Rings of Power bc imo it's a great series and deserves more attention 💖🫶

"Know your place, you fool!" - Ryomen Sukuna

Okay, I'm done 🙏 And he's is so much fun to draw 🔥

I'm totally late to the party but I started reading the Jujutsu Kaisen manga some weeks ago and I'm also watching the anime right now. Damn... why I'm always too late?! xD I'm so hyped atm and I love the story and the characters and of course the big bad boy is one of my favs. Especially his true form so I tried to draw Sukuna in his Heian form in my style 🔥🙏

My first drawing after a long break and it's also the beginning of a small (small she said ha ha) project of mine. I wanted to express my love and admiration for the women in reality and fiction who inspired, motivated or impressed me and which way is better than to draw them? 😗

This journey starts with your vote for Medusa 🐍, a very impressive mythological figure in Greek history. Reading about her story, especially some newer interpretations, makes me think about her not as a monster anymore. More like a strong and fierce woman who is the victim of cruel gods and circumstances. And I love these interpretations a lot. "Stone Blind" from Natalie Haynes is one of them and it's a refreshing new view on old stories. This artwork is based on this book~ Let's see where this journey will take me, I'm excited 🙂‍↕️💚

Tried to draw my Na'vi OC for the first time. Her face is inspired by a figure in the Avatar making of bc I fell immediately in love with the facial features. She belongs to the Ash people & is a warrior. I also adapted the idea with the leopard pattern bc I love this look ❤️🐆 Still thinking about a name 🤔

Just wanted to draw shirtless Quaritch 😌💙

[stormlanterns]

Instead of finishing the other Quaritch sketches I made another one 🫠

[stormlanterns]

No art this time, but I found something interesting. I'm reading the visual dictionary of Avatar atm and don't call me paranoid, but I found this small pic and sorry, but the guy on the left reminds me of Quaritch. Idk the pose and the face, and it could be Jake in the background... 🫣 What do you think?

[stormlanterns]

Small sketch of Tsireya bc I really like her 💙🌊 She's such a kind and patient sweetheart~

Hi! I don’t know if you’ve made a post about this already and maybe I’ve missed it (sorry if this is the case!), but do you take commissions? I’ve been searching HIGH AND LOW for fanart of Lyles Wainfleet (Avatar 2) in his avatar form, and would kill to see him in your art style! If you do, where can I find your prices? :)

Hi 😺

Thanks for liking my art so much that you considered to ask for a commission. I really appreciate this. Unfortunately, I don't take commissions anymore. Art is just a hobby for me, so I draw when I have time for it and then I just draw stuff I like. Anything else is too much pressure for me. But maybe I'll draw Lyles in the future too, who knows? Never say never x3 💙 I hope you'll find some artists for your request and thanks again for considering me ♡

F*ck the stripes, drawing the little stars on his nose is the best part 💙

(First full colored drawing since two years. Thanks James Cameron for bringing Quaritch back as hot space kitty 🙏)

[stormlanterns]

Instead of coloring the finished outlines I drew another Quaritch for my sketch dump. Priorities lol

[stormlanterns]

Outlines are done ✅️

[stormlanterns]

Another sketch of a certain mean blue space kitty 😌

Gonna work on this now, I wanna see it with colors~

[stormlanterns]

My first tries drawing Quaritch from Avatar: The Way of Water. I still need to get used to Quaritch' face and Na'vi facial features in general but it's already fun and I like it 💙

PS: My heart always belongs to the blue kitty villains 😼

[stormlanterns]

I always wanted to redraw an older sketch/artwork of mine to see my progress and I also wanted to draw a more detailed version of my boy Sang-drax. So why not both?

The first one is from today, the second one from 2003.

And still loving both drawings ❤️🐉🐍

I struggled a lot with my art style in the past bc it was never (and never will be) an art style for the masses. Not beautiful or stereotypical enough but I've made my peace with it. Bc I spent years to draw the way I'm drawing now and I can be proud of it! Seeing the development between these 2 pics also shows me that it's worth it to work for the things you love ❤️
