Most Lichen to Succeed - “Send Lichen Wildbone,” someone in the crowd yelled, and all the other #faerie folk quickly agreed. “Cowards,” she mumbled, rising from her seat in the dark corner where she had been sipping potent nectar, the teacup clattering on the table, causing a hush to fall on the room. Moving through the crowd, many stepping back and lowering their eyes to not meet the powerful gaze of the one-eyed witch, Lichen arrived in front of the Mayor. “I will warn the giants of their crimes against the Earth Mother,” she whispered, snapping her fingers, her staff flying from its position by her former seat into her hands, “and will be back before the Solstice.” Abruptly she turned and left, the crowd breathing a collective sigh of relief. “Can she do it?,” someone asked the mayor. “I’ve no doubt, if anyone can, she is most Lichen to succeed.” #fae #fairy #fey #new #digital #art #artwork #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNDMyRuDLj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made the papers with my #cosplay as #anubis the #egyptian god of #funerals at #mdrf - Had to use the slide to get downhill because 6” platforms on hills. Photo by Kim Hairston/Baltimore Sun https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch3Xd7ZOn6U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #Sensible Thing - I’m not sure if I like this one. It’s feeling the full Brontë of my #artistic internal monologue. It’s not as realistic as my usual fare. Maybe I’m being too #Austen tatious. Too much bloom taking her to the wuthering heights of cartoony-ness? Is it #Pride or is it #prejudice on my part? I guess I will just throw it on the pile & move on. Alternate title was “An Escape from #Regency.” #art #artwork #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/ChlH1c3Oag6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Galadriel - If @gal_gadot were to play #Galadriel - After all, It’s in her name. #new #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/ChS3imMOqcg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Against the Giants - Finished up this one today. In some #fantasy world, maybe ours when creativity was more cherished, a #warrior battles the #giant invasion. Will she survive? Doesn’t matter. Meh. #new #digitalart #art #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQlfSkus2m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Ghost of #Rachel - “She grew tired of the questions, her childhood, the overturned turtle. Who did this cop think he was? She was human, 100 percent. She was sure of it. He did not seem so sure, however.” This #art is an #homage to one of my favorite scenes in #cinema, when #Decker Interviews the #Replicant #Rachel in the movie ‘#Blade #Runner’, although it’s conceptual, totally different, and not using any likenesses or other copyrighted materials or characters. I think I’m good. Crosses fingers. #new #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgl-s7COkcz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Unexpected Guests - While quietly enjoying a drink, the #pirate Captain is disturbed when an old foe walks in the tavern. This started as another modern #model covergirl style #artwork and quickly went pirate, because rum drinking, bacon eating, ship sailing, rough and tumble pirates are much more interesting than antiseptic salad eating models, right? Also, it’s overexposed, since most people will see it on a phone vs gallery colors. The original as intended #digital #painting is on my website, here: http://robmedley.com/2022/07/27/unexpected-guests/ Hashtag Thunder! #new #digitalart #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #artistic #pirates #piratelife #privateer #girlpower https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgg9QlFuUwL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fierce - Because of the horrible #artwork I put out yesterday, I decided to go back to the roots today. I give you the fierce #fantasy #warrior - hashtagmayhem: #new #digital #art #fantasyart #rpg #dnd #dungeonsanddragons https://www.instagram.com/p/CfkuDX9OGdu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #beast #cosplay I did a couple years back. The funny part was people were asking who I was supposed to be. I kept saying “me.” And there was confusion, as if an original #cosplayer one could not be. So I say, with levity. Be you, be true, be free. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce8mC3bOyip/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#supergreen at the #Maryland #RenFaire I had to support the #celts that day with a #kilt but the rest of it is pretty much on point for #rubyrhod #cosplay #fifthelement https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce6v7isuOoK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Dryads - A doodle to keep the art skills on life support while I find out why the creativity well has dried up. I guess this is inspired by #Pride month, but I don’t want to be pretentious. #new #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce15l2aueRu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The #demon - technically a #demoness #cosplay this was super fun. As a 6’6” (198cm) dude I was glad this was a mostly grassy #renfaire as I’d never worn 6” platforms before. I learned quickly how to fall (don’t fight it) on my bum without getting hurt. By the end of the day I was running in them. Imagine a 7’1” arch fiend towering over you.
