More magical, historic France.⚜️📖⛲️

France, the North Sea 🌊🌾

More flowers 🥰🌻🌸 most were taken in a garden outside a fancy building, and one was a tree outside some apartments by the sea in France. Which, considering how utterly dry last summer was it was so nice whenever I saw flowers that weren’t crispy/dead.

Beautiful Amsterdam 🌷🇳🇱🧇 including swans in the Red-light District.

*oops the first picture is actually France, I must have edited out of order at some point.

I kept putting off posting these, waiting for “the right moment” or until I was completely done editing them all… but it’s taken so long anyways because of all the things that have happened… aaand I took way too many photos. But I’m going to push myself to start posting. Sometimes the other fear is that if I don’t post enough art versus photography I’ll alienate potential clients, etc. so then I try to wait until I have a storage of art ready to post right after, but it just hasn’t happened because one thing after another gets in the way, sometimes including myself.

But here’s some flowers from the Netherlands and France I captured last summer, more to come. 🌷🪻✨

After nearly FIVE YEARS (and some stress/drama) here is the first of my magical creatures series!! This was one of the first ones I designed as my Ghibli inspired creature. Swipe to see the creature closer and the original image on its own. Thank you so much to the model Sein, she was so perfect 😍 I’ll be uploading the rest sporadically as I finish them, plus the 2 others that don’t include creatures in them.

Here is one without any creatures. I forgot to mention in my last post that part of the reason it took me so long to do much is because I didn’t feel confident enough in my art or designs and kept redoing things or setting them aside. Though the photos were taken and edited back in 2016 and I’ve been working/reworking on the creature designs since 2018. 😳 (plus I wasn’t originally the one going to do the creatures)

Another magical creature.🧚‍♂️ Swipe to see the creature closer and the original image on its own. In a way these still aren’t to the standard I see in my head, but it’s already been 5 years... so I’ll just have to accept this is how it will be.

Finally something new 😅 Swipe to see the creature closer! This one is a weird little see-through salamander. I probably could have come up with something cooler but all my previous ideas resembled Pokemon soooo it was taking too long and I did this...lol
