    Sick with cold, so I&amp;#39;ve had time to burn. I&amp;#39;ve mentioned before that I&amp;#39;ve been learning Godot by working on a Fire Emblem style tactical RPG prototype. Over the last few months I&amp;#39;ve (re)implemented various things under the hood, but today and yesterday I spent some time updating the battlefield sprites. Now I&amp;#39;m not a pixel artist, so the results remain *very* amateurish, but at least I&amp;#39;m learning. Mostly by doing things wrong, but I&amp;#39;m le...

    I&amp;#39;m still not over my cold, but at least that&amp;#39;s given me some time to draw. Something colder than my most of my recent drawings: a devil-lady of the icy peaks, rather than of the infernal depths. Perched up on the mountainside, she awaits her next victim... or is just waiting for a few friends to meet up with for a night on the (alpine) town. I don&amp;#39;t know, I just draw them. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #FantasyArt #Illustration #Tiefling #Devil #Cold

    Bonus #Mermay drawing! Since I drew my regular mermaid so early in the month, I decided to show what she likes to get up to: pressing herself up against the viewing domes of submersibles used in marine research to say hello. True fact: dozens of undersea expeditions are lost each year due to mermaids compelling scientists to let them into their vessels. It&#39;s a big problem in marine studies. #Mermay2026 #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Illustration #Mermaid #BigHair #DeepSea #Diving

    It&#39;s #PortfolioDay! I&#39;m Paul, and I draw devils and demigoddesses, elves and mages, and whatever else appeals to me. Almost everything I draw is in my post history, or my gallery (currently hosted at https:// baffledwizard.blogspot.com/). I mostly draw for myself, but I&#39;m open to interesting collaborations—especially #Illustration, #Gaming or #TTRPG stuff. Message me here or contact me via my website. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #CommissionsOpen

    [A Troublesome Pair] Two elven mages who are a little too fond of swindling others and finding their way into and out of trouble. Let&amp;#39;s call them Beatrice and Corinne. This one is mostly just me drawing for fun, compositing ideas from a couple of different reference photos without any particular plan in mind. I could probably clean this one up a little more, add a few more details, but... nah. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #Illustration #Elf #Trouble

    I did not expect to finish another drawing so soon, but it&amp;#39;s been irritatingly humid lately and I have important work my brain is desperately trying to avoid focusing on. A tiefling mage dressed for laundry day, casting a spell. Also a study in perspective, which often confuses my artist brain as to whether the proportions are correct or I&amp;#39;ve just drawn a really short person. The more I look, the more it bothers me. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #Illustration...

    My contribution to #Mermay this year, finished sooner than I intended, because I was supposed to be working on something else and yet am easily distracted by glamorous aquatic hybrids. I&amp;#39;ve gone big on the hair again. Sometimes I wonder if there is such a thing as too much hair; judging by the reception to some of my other &amp;#39;big hair&amp;#39; drawings, the answer is apparently not. What do all of you think? #Mermay2026 #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #Illustrati...

    [Out of Place] A small drawing project that went in an odd direction. Another &amp;#39;modern elf&amp;#39;, this one seems to have gotten herself a little lost. As I&amp;#39;ve mentioned before, I&amp;#39;m often lazy about backgrounds. This time I decided to capitalise on that laziness by going in a more stylised, slightly &amp;#39;pop art&amp;#39; direction. I don&amp;#39;t know. Is this a good approach, or should I just learn to draw backgrounds properly? #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMast...

    Elf in a Leather Jacket Another entry in my &amp;#39;elves in modern garb&amp;#39; series that has apparently become a thing. Mostly just drawing for fun while I plan a flat move. A bit more experimentation with glossy surfaces, in this case the leather jacket. I should probably put more care into my backgrounds, though I guess there&amp;#39;s a bit of a return-to-nature vibe? Feel free to make up a story for her. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fantasy #Illustration #Elf #Nature

    Mermaid expressions... It&amp;#39;s been a while since I did one of these: taking a photo reel of someone pulling different expressions, then trying to draw them for a character, in this case a mermaid (or alien, maybe?). I still struggle with making my characters&amp;#39; expressions lively (and consistent between drawings!); I also don&amp;#39;t necessarily want to go too far into caricature...at least, not all the time. It&amp;#39;s a bit tricky. #MastoArt #FediArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Fant...
