Portrait of Miriel, a red-haired elf, painted with gouache.
She's wearing a green dress with layered flutter sleeves,
decorated with gold patterns painted with glittery metal watercolors.
Her makeup also has glitter in it,
and she's surrounded by a similarly sparkly frame of silver and gold patterns
contrasted against a dark background the color of a night sky.

Getting sparkly

Gouache and ink painting of Miriel, a red-haired elf,
wearing a green set of lace lingerie with rose patterns.
She's sitting on a cobblestone floor in front of a bush of roses
and thrusting a leg forward to show off her stockings.
It's a warm early sunset in a park somewhere.

Matching lace

Painting of a fountain in the middle of a verdant park landscape.
On top of it is a statue of an elf wearing a dress and staff, made of blue oxidized copper.
The faun mathematicians Olivia and Basil are sitting at the fountain's rim with drinks,
joined by Aava the mermaid lounging in the water.
In the background, some other characters are seen walking and hanging out on a beach.

Fountain drinks

Digital painting of Aava the mermaid sitting somewhere underwater.
She's wearing her jewelled pink halter top and surrounded by rocks and foliage,
a bright light reaching her body from between the rocks but leaving her face in shadow.
She's stroking her hair with a hand, resting the other on her breast,
and looking sidelong at us in a playfully inviting but also slightly sinister gesture.
There's a lot of empty space in the image, implying that we're a bit of distance away,
perhaps unsure whether to accept her invitation.

Siren's gaze

A5-sized gouache painting of a cabin on a tiny island during a very pink sunset.
It's surrounded by trees, snow, and clear ice that reflects the sky.

Christmas greeting card 2025

Gouache painting of Aava, a pale-skinned mermaid with black bob-cut hair,
sitting on a rock in a long pink dress and holding a rose in her hand.
She's surrounded by large pink lilies which fade into outlines and then into nothing behind her,
and there's an abstract art nouveau -style circle framing her head and shoulders.

Going art nouveau mode

Gouache painting of a mermaid sitting on a rock surrounded by reeds and water.
It's very misty, expressed by painting transparently and letting the white paper show through.
A forest can be faintly seen in the background.

Haze

Gouache painting of Ivu, a dryad with birch bark skin
and a ponytail of leaves in fall colors,
laying stomach down on a large branch.
She's leaning on her hands and glancing back at the viewer with a wry smile.
An expanse of forest, grassland and river is seen far below her.

Sunbathing

Digital painting of Miriel, a red-haired elf,
sitting on a sofa next to a large window. It's a bright, snowy day in the forest outside.
Miriel is cozy under a blanket with woolly socks, her hair let out of its usual braid,
and a cup of something warm in her hand.
Her forearm is wrapped in a bandage with traces of blood visible on it.

Back home

Ink drawing of Miriel the forest elf climbing onto a pile of rubble.
Behind the pile we see ruins of tall urban buildings overgrown with vegetation,
and in the middle of it all a large building with a giant domed roof.
There's a car under the rubble. Miriel is carrying her bow with the string on and a quiver full of arrows,
suggesting she's worried about who might be lurking in these streets.

Inktober 2025

Gouache painting of Aava,
a pale-colored mermaid with black bob-cut hair, wearing a billowing pink dress.
We're underwater, but not very deep - the darkness is broken by dim shafts of light from above.
She's falling backwards away from the viewer and towards a gothic cathedral tower seen in the background.

Art Fight 2025

Ink drawing of a mermaid sitting on the sea floor, leaning on a rock.
There's seaweed and a school of fish in the background.

Mermay inks (2025)

Digital painting of a mermaid
posing in front of a row of three stained glass windows on an underwater stone wall.
The window directly behind her depicts a sunset over water,
and to her sides are two mermaids wearing white drapery.
The window is the dominant light source,
making bright beams in the water and a stark contrast with everything else.

Big fancy window

Digital drawing of a mermaid wearing a skimpy halter top
with an embroidered belt around the waist and chains of jewelry hanging off it.
She also wears various other jewelry around the arms and the head and heavy smoky-eye makeup.
Her body is colored with drab greens and grays, evoking some kind of Nordic freshwater fish.
