I'd like to introduce myself with two works. This is the first one. What do you think? :)

#MastoArt #CreatureDesign #FantasyArt #DigitalArt #Illustration #ArtistOnMastodon #NewHere"

A fantastical creature described as 99% pony and 1% seal, with an elongated snout (almost like an anteater's), a horn on its head, standing on two hind legs, while its front legs are flippers. Its tail ends in a fan shape, and it plays with a rainbow-colored ball. It stands just under 2 meters tall. The sheet also includes the caption: "Lives in recess."

Finished this image few days ago. Put everything I could into it, it's the best I can do right now.

My question for you (yes, YOU): What should I focus on to improve?

Not looking for advice specific to THIS image, but to what areas of skill are lacking, and should be focused on to advance. Bonus: How?

This is your chance to be the grumpy-but-well-meaning mentor you wish you had when you started!

Be blunt, be open, I can take it, I'm asking for it!

#digitalArt #artistsonmastodon #mastoArt

Kiki (the Krita mascot, an anthropomorphic squirrel robot) is standing in front of a wall, looking down to a lake-beach. On the beach, a scene featuring various characters of Greek mythology:

Extreme foreground:

Kiki, creating a virtual drawing-panel with her right hand, painting on it with her left hand. I decided to give her a rather mechanical look, for no particular reason.

Foreground, left to right:

Perseus, with sword and mirror-shield. Pointing at his enemy Medusa, discussing lively with Herakles.
Herakles, with club and lion’s fur. Working as bouncer, telling Perseus in no uncertain terms that hostilities will not be tolerated here.
Medusa, with snake-hair. She and each of her hair-snakes are wearing sunglasses in snake-fang-design, to avoid accidental petrifications.
Echidna, half woman, half snake. In mythology, she is the mother of several well-known monsters, so I decided to give her a slightly more monstrous head-design.
Echo and Narcissus. Narcissus lying on the ground, gazing spellbound by his own reflection into a shallow pool. Next to him, the flowers he shares that shares his name. His girlfriend Echo is pulling his hand softly, only slightly annoyed, sadly used to this kind of sudden distractions.

Middle, left to right:

The Labyrinth, here a water-playground in shallow water. Inside, the Minotaurus, here just a guy with a bull-mask, waving friendly at Theseus, but refusing to leave the Labyrinth.
Theseus, holding the yarn of Ariadne that led him out of the Labyrinth, taking cover on a Hippocampus sculpture, looking fearfully at the Minotaurus, his sword lost, lying in the shallow pool.
Ariadne, sitting in the sand, face-palming as she sees Theseus’ behaviour, her knittings and yarns lying next to her.
On the parasol: Arachne, a spider, skilfully fixing a hole in the fabric using two small yarns.
Argus, the many-eyed giant, as beach-attendant, blowing a whistle at Cerberus - no dogs allowed in the water!
Artemis, with a long bow, pulling an arrow from the quiver.
Apollo, pointing to a tiny dot far out at sea, as a target for his sister Artemis. What that dot is? Ah, don’t worry, probably not important.
Cerberus, the three-headed dog. One paw in the water, when he hears Argus’ whistle. That guy really has his eyes everywhere!

Background, left to right:

Charybdis, causing a whirlpool.
Cetus, here just a harmless inflatable swimming toy (as demonstrated by the plug), but still scary enough to cause a small panic.
Perseus, wielding a spear, defending his girlfriend Andromeda against the monstrous Cetus. Perseus has already appeared in the foreground, so let’s just assume that this is another Perseus, and the name-likeness is by chance.
Andromeda, chained to the rock.
Odysseus, bound to the windsock-pole, listening spellbound to the Siren’s singing.
On the diving-jump-rocks: Two sirens, singing their alluring songs.

This is Jasper very first race with Halo. Surely everything should go fine, as the last three times the engine started, no fingers were lost.

Jasper, a white character, is sitting inside a red thing called Halo, which from this point of view looks like a plane but is more of a tractor in reality

Elvis' days on earth were quite peaceful, like this one when he did some gardening in the tiny cemetery of a reaaaally small village near his crypt.

Another ArtFight attack

**A nice garden plan**

Maro took a lot of time to think about the layout of their garden, to limit pest and cross-pollinisation. But it was maybe a bit to early in their adventure to think about that.

Maro belongs to @Pixalisk https://artfight.net/~Pixalisk

#artfight #artFight2026 #mastoArt #DigitalArt #fediArt

Maro, a man with red hairs and some beard, in shorts and T-shirt, is drawing a huge plan on the sand of a desert island. He's saying: "And that's what the garden will look like". Someone else responds, angrily: "We don't even have a house, Maro !"

Sto iniziando ad usare 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮 e devo dire che mi sta piacendo molto! È anche la prima volta che sono alle prese con una tavoletta grafica e spero di abbandonare il mio Ipad asap...

Per esercitarmi voglio iniziare da un'illustrazione, accetto "prompt" che verranno realizzati con 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙯𝙖 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙚! ;) ✨

Thanks @gutenberg_org for sharing this — an editorial on theatres taking advantage of plays newly entering the public domain, including works by Noël Coward. A clear case for the 6529 thesis: permissionless culture breeds new creative life. We've cross-posted this to 6529.io so the network can see it:
