Welcome to my showcase of possibilities! While my art has a large portion of abstract pieces, there are quite a few things I like to create! From designing monsters or ethereal abstraction to entice conversation to characters that connect This is why I do what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acrylic Painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From stretched canvas to canvas board Acrylic Paintings can capture a variety of subjects. Xela has abstract pieces and Landscapes alongside her painted monsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nUn-Mother’s Dark Forest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAutumnal Lake, acrylic on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nForest for the Trees, acrylic and glitter on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Watercolor Painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The layering of watercolor is a fun way to make beautiful pieces that play with light. It captures the mythical and images like a half-forgotten memory, or a glimpse into a world untouchable by human hands. What an ethereal medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFirst Day of Summer <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nKirin and kin, Watercolor on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Dry Painting: Pastel and Charcols<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is a freedom to the soft dust of pastels and getting them to show creatures, people, and capture scenes of interaction. pastels mix well with several other mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Charcoal brings out the contrast in a unique way. In one, a medium of stark and soft shading, it lets Xela explore the sides people hide, and the things that are revealed in the dark. Whether they are used to represent the gentlest interactions or the terrifying moments, charcoal is an emotional medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Illustration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Illustration captures a scene. Rather than a simple image it is meant to tell a story, no matter the medium used to create it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pencil Illustration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Colored pencils can build intense color or lend a dream-like quality to an art piece. From storytelling illustrations to character designs, the humble pencil lends personality to a drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nCthuloid, graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Dragon and the george reverse concept, Graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAll Thing Potatoes, graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPinkamina dreams of Frosting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ink Illustration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Ink has a sense of permanence as you draw, whether inking a drawing or taking pen straight to paper, every line counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, the ink dilution markers have allows a certain luminescence when layering the colors that is rather unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBlue Rain Dragon, Ink and marker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe duchess has a hobby, pen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDissasocciation, Ink, 8x 11 paper, Xela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlien Hold Up, Marker <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTweezers to the Thorn, Marker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Character Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Creating the right combination of attributes to portray a character’s personality in a unique way is a delight. Whether complex or simple make them recognizable! That is the goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nJason Dracson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSuperhero pose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIndian Grey Wolf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat do you mean you lost the evidence?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTabaxi Character piece :3 If you wander into her D&D world watch your earrings or they will adorn a fluffier ear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCute eastern dragon sketches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nGith Adventurer, D&D Commission, Graphite on Paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDragon experimental sketching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nGreek god statue sketches, graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMousey Study, graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA Study in Birb, graphite on paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLove and Sleep twins: Thanatos, Hypnos, Eros, Anteros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Digital Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether rendering a character or building promotional posters in world, this is the most fun part of digital design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEyes wide Open , Pop Drawing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nTabaxi Spymaster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWelcome to Sync and Burn, superheroes who will help you solve the mystery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Young Black Hole illustrated in Photoshop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Photography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Capturing a place or saving a moment is priceless. Photography acts as a window into experiences. You could have an intimate close up of a flower or a breathtaking view of a national park. Photography brings the wonder of life to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nPerfect reflection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nRock Canyon in Autumn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHolding on another year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNot yet dark<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLavender Before the Rain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThistle Blooming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nA Gold and Red Fall Dew <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nClouds reflected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
