A two-panel Charlie Brown comic.

In the first panel, three young children (Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus) stand outside. One of the children, Linus, approaches the other two children, holding a library card, and says:

"Look! Library card! I've taken out a library card!"

He stands proud, holding his library card to his chest, and continues:

"I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge!"

This one is more expensive and also the most detailed piece of art I have probably ever made. It took me a year to finish, and it is selling for 500€ (incl, paypal fee and VAT). Please share so people can see I can do more than just silly comics. :DDirect buy: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/s/0e5c6516e9" rel="nofollow">https://ko-fi.com/s/0e5c6516e9</a> Or part payment options at: [email protected]You can also commission something similiar if you like! <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/illustration/" rel="tag">#illustration</a> <a href="/tags/bookcoverart/" rel="tag">#bookcoverart</a> <a href="/tags/bookillustration/" rel="tag">#bookillustration</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookcovers/" rel="tag">#bookcovers</a> <a href="/tags/noai/" rel="tag">#NOAI</a>

Illustrated eBook cover for sale. Depicts a red dragon with green horns and eyes geaming in cold sunlight with its wing over an elf-man. Sunlight shows the patterns of its wing, and reflects on its curved horns, neck spikes, and long claws.

The elf man is pale, and has white, slightly curled short hair resting on his forehead and temples. The hair in a long braid that snakes down his shoulder to his exposed peck. The braid is tied with a silky white ribbon and it turns from white to pale red and finally turns entirely black at the end. His eyes are red, and his pointed ear is red and sunlight makes it look luminecent.
He is wearing green, buttoned trousers and nothing else. They are resting low on his hips. His abs are visible, as he holds the head of his dragon companion. He has tattoos all over his arms, around his navel, neck, decolte, and ear. He also has scars on his side, arm, and chest if you look closely. They have long since healed.

The background is of cold mountain ranges disappearing into a fog. The light is cold, and unyelding.

The yellow text overlays say:
Two hiisikoloART signatures, hiisikoloART watermarks, "author name" and "very cool title" on bold text. No AI label, illustrated typography! 100% human made original art!

''Catherine Babault's Wild Vancouver Island is perfectly framed, visually stunning. She has clearly mastered the technical aspects of her art, and that mastery frees her to bear witness to the spirit of joy, discovery and delight that informs her engagement with the creatures and elements she portrays.'' - Tom Sandborn, Vancouver Sun.

Hello! Hope your Monday has gone well. I have been doing things, but also thinking about this splendid bookcase I recently stumbled upon. I am very happy to not covet my neighbour's house, staff, ox or donkey, but a wall-sized wooden bookcase with a built in ladder? Sorry, I think I covet that.<a href="/tags/sillyscribbles/" rel="tag">#sillyScribbles</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a>

A photo of a full, wooden bookcase with a ladder attached. It is a fine, fine bookcase. On it are 4 simple drawn figures, 3 sitting and reading books (2 on ladder steps, 1 on the shelf) and 1 peering out from between books on the top shelf.
