"Headmaster Jonivé" Digital Painting, Procreate 2023 "Jonivé recently (and reluctantly) accepted his position at The Gilded Academy, the youngest Headmaster in the school's storied history. He was one of the first sorcerers to come to the defense of the city when King Glee launched an attack, managing to hold the city wall singlehandedly as the battle raged outside. An expert in the manipulation of matter, or creation magick, he hopes to share his gift and inspire a new generation of adepts. He is quite respected in the Twin Cities, though some think him too young to lead the Academy. There are rumors he accepted the position to stay close to his brother, The Navigator Prince Navier. He has not responded to our publications inquiries into this topic." - excerpt from La Tribune De Sol, weekly newspaper, 2135 B.S I'm realizing how many pieces I've got in the works that I haven't posted.... More to come soon hahaha. Thanks for reading this far! Love you bye.

"Puck, The Art District, Titania IX" The Art District is a megalithic structure covering most of Titania IX. Referred to as The Far City by most colony folk in the local star group, it covers over 60% of the planet with its sprawling skyline. Its main exports are Enchantments, Creativity Magicks, and the latest in material printing technology. Though quite far from many star systems, the colorful fogs and buzz of The Art District draw creative souls from all over the known universe. The Finer Zeal, Intergalactic Arts Magazine, 4077.1717.A.S I feel like it's been a while since I painted something in the really far flung future part of this timeline. So here's Puck! They like dismantling capitalism at every opportunity, painting over Militia propaganda, and adopting street cats. They were a joy to paint. A sharp eye might spot their Titania's Needle keychain, a call back to Berwyn. They might have some ties to the Joyous Chorus, but I'm no snitch. Anyway, love you, bye.

The Scarecrow Effigies of the Forest Gates 2023 Corel Painter 2023/Procreate "Walk with peace, children of Life. Only the faces of Guilt need fear the effigies. Should thine visage be carved upon it, flee, flee far and forever, for its body is a perfect cage for thee." Titania's Edicts 21:23 No one has ever seen the scarecrows being constructed, or hung from the trees. They seem to appear silently, and shift location constantly. Sightings are very rare and vary widly in description. All surviving records suggest the faces on the figures are completely blank. However, there are a handful of firsthand witness accounts reporting someone they were traveling with going missing shortly after exclaiming the masks appeared to be their own face. Most choose to avoid the Forest Gates altogether nowadays. Roads have been constructed circumventing them entirely. Wow thanks for reading this far! I'm having such a good time painting stuff in this universe. I'm going to try to post some less polished pieces so there isn't as much time between posts. I also just can't stop making new things so stuff gets pushed off the to-do list constantly lately. A great problem to have, though! #spookyart #scarecrows #chayruby #fantasyart #worldbuilding #fantasypainting #creepyart #painting #corelpainter #procreateapp #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #fineart #darkart https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkdZPySs2q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"TRAGEDY PLUS TIME" One day you'll make fools out of these painful memories. It'll seem like such a laugh once the hurt has had time to settle. With just a little time to find clarity you'll look back at this and be able to smile again. I used to do anything to avoid feeling foolish. The more I look at it though; the more I realize that it was time wasted. In the grand scheme of things isn't a moment of foolishness worth taking a shot at something? Step outside that comfort zone every once in a while. Even if it ends up biting you, it'll just take some time before you learn to laugh again. I'd rather be a clown than a boring background character any day. Stay ugly, friends. So here we are again at the start of another #inktober ! I'm going to be trying to do some in between some gallery pieces. Thank you all for the invites to the various prompt lists. I'll post soon about which one I'll be doing this year! So far I've seen a lot of great work already, and it's only day one. Are you guys excited that it's finally SPOOK SEASON? The season o' spook?! #illustrative #ink #watercolor #mixedmedia #clown #surreal #contemporaryart #darkart #chayruby https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZxVq-Bwhq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bvo7hwlivio0

Hey, here's a progress shot for your Thursday musings. This one is tentatively titled "CLOSE ENOUGH TO STILL FEEL LONELY" and it's about how even when we're surrounded by loved ones we can still feel overwhelmingly alone. Isn't that too bad? Why is it that this annoying need for attention never quite goes away? The human condition requires that we be these little emotional and social wrecks. It's what drives us to love and be loved. Which is good, even if it's also kind of bad. Stay ugly, friends. #wip #painting #watercolor #artinprogress #progress #sketch #surreal #chayruby https://www.instagram.com/p/BoiBOg3BeYZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k9tjso0vvahz

“FOCUSED ON THE FACADE, THE INSIDE FADES AWAY” Social media makes it easy to spend all of your energy on the facade. You want to appear as the best version of yourself. How often do we find people posing to look like they’re having a good time only to post it and go right back to sitting there sullenly? We’ve created these weirdly curated versions of our lives. Some of us want to appear popular, gorgeous, super interesting, or surrounded by adventure. It's putting all your energy on this mask that leads to the real you withering away. Remember, the truth is ugly, but it’s also beautiful. Stay ugly, friends. Hello Tumblr! I’ve been posting on Instagram for a while now. It seems like a good time to bring the party on over here as well. If you don’t want to wait for me to migrate all of my work over, feel free to browse more here.
