Thistle Arts

A question

Should I post more sketches even if they don't necessarily turn into full-color works?

Are you guys interested in my sketches as well?'I actually sketch a lot of stuff, I just don't post them because I am not sure if you're interested in this content. Probably I have this "artist problem" when you feel like only really complete and cool works are worth showing to other people. 

And I though, what if I'm wrong?

Hi dear people!

Hope your New Year party was great! Mine was awesome and very inspiring with dear people with me. Now all of my friends are back to Russia and I am here getting back to drawing. 

 Just in case so you don't worry, I am  dropping in some other fandoms and ships and just sketches for the sake of variety and experiment, not because I am leaving GO fandom in any close future. 

Simply as an artist, I tend to react creatively to things I see and if they touch me, I do...

Art of the month

Hello everyone! I am back to drawing normally, so we're going to have voting this month!

At the Medici court

Finally I made it!

It was a long time in my drawing plans, and I finally managed to finalize this artwork!

I always thought that both Crowley and Aziraphale would totally love the artistic and hedonistic atmosphere at Lorenzo Medici's court. Music, art, poetry, philosophy...I think they both enjoyed this place a lot. And each other's company. 

Even though they would have been discrete about their mutual sympathy at those times in Florence showing some affection was comm...

Merry Christmas!

To everyone who celebrates! I am doing much better, and I am now eith ky friends who came to see me fir Christmas eve. I wish you all a most safe and joufull holidays. And I will for sure manage to post some more art before tge end if tge year! So,have a wobdedull and merry Christmas, everyone!

Tattoo design for a friend

I really love designing tattoos, especially for those who are dear to me. 

First day at work

I really love the fact that Crowley’s angel work was making stars. I simply had to draw him back in those first days of his existence and how innocent and curious he was about everything.

Crowley study in Adobe Fresco

I am booored to death not being able to do many things due to post-surgery recovery period. But thank God I have my ipad and I can draw something that doesn't require lots of details so my eyes don't hurt. So I draw  for  few minutes and then take some rest and draw again.

Painting Crowley makes me feel  muuch better,

Post surgery update

Hey everyone! My surgery went well, I am feeling ok. Though tired and on painkillers.
Just to let you know.
Hopefully, I will feel much better soon!
Thanks forvyour support and kind wishes!

And  the second illustration is finished out of 3!

Some info about december

Hello dear patrons! Thank you for supporting me and being with me. Yoi totally inspire me to do my best.
During nuvember I created two huge detailed artworks and a bunch of less detailed, along with sketches. 
This is a tempo I would like to follow all the time, but it's not always possible.
 In December I will have to make 2 watercolor illustrations for my husband's upcoming novel, and one tattoo design for a friend. These are non fandom things but also, hopefully rather p...

It's done!

How would you name it?I'm still rather clueless about a proper name. Any suggestions?

I know it's almost a month till Christmas, but I'm going to make a print out of it, so maybe some people get to by it for themselves or as a gift on Etsy. That's an artist's life to produce holiday themed art waaay before the holiday itself ;-)

Get this picture as a coloring page!

Dear patrons, I downloaded a bigger resolution of this lineart, so you can use it as a coloring page!

I would love if you share your results here in our community page, and on social networks such as twitter, instagram or tumbler, by tagging me.

This is purely optional, but I would love to see and reblog  our little collaboration!

800$ goal! yay!

Thank you my beautiful people!

We've made it together! As I told you, the 800$  check from Patreon is enough for me to pay all of my monthly bills! Which means more financial security and time to draw!

To me it means a lot!  To those who are new here: I am a  gender queer transmasculine person who emigrated from homophobic Russia to Eu, living my job and all support network back in Russia. 

Here I don't have a job permit, so I can only provide for myself ...

Lineart for the Christmas artwork is done!

Ouch, that did take some effort to make!

BTW you can use it as a coloring page if you want. ;-)

Welcome dear new patrons!

Thanks for your support!  You help me make a living. In my country the amount of money I get from Patreon is not enough  to live as a full time job artist, but very close to that. Once I get to 800$ per month it will be enough to pay my bills, and will give me even more freedo to dedicate my life to art. Also the money I get from your support helps me to stay creative and learn and develop. If not for these money  I would be forced to spend a big amount of time drawing commerci...

Age does not wither his infinite variety

I made it!

Finally!

A second image from my  project.

This is another scene which Crowley had dreamt had happened, but it never has, apart from his imagination, which we know is great, so far.

Art of the month poll

It's christmas time soon, so my poll this month will be Christmas and winter themed.

All of them are going to be Crowley/Aziraphale

A quiet life in a cottage in South Downs

Finally I finished this comission piece.

So many details!

Watercolor on paper, with a bit of colored pencils.

Trick or Treat!

I hope you all enjoy a great Haloween!

And here's my little present to you all!

Crowley and Aziraphale body studies

I just had to draw them nude today for no particular reason. Just getting my emotions and creativity back into control after the recent events.

Some technical problems. - Технические проблемы

Hi everyone! I've got a problem here. Yesterday 90% percent of my jpeg, png, mp3, video and brushes files were destroyed by a new virus called WERD. Most of my refernces and unfihisnehd wors are gone. Thankfully I have some backups here and there. But unfortunately  it will take a while to gether everything back together.

Especially with the unfinished works, for example I have some linearts posted here on patreon and I will use them   to recover my pictures. But technica...

Art of the month

This month I'm  doing IneffableTober and Few Ineffable comissions  so I'm rather busy with doing some cute art for all of you to enjoy. 

But anyways I leave it up to you to decide which of the pictures I've been working on recently I should try to finish this month?

They are both huge and require hours of work, but I want to finish one of them this month for sure!

Welcome to new Patrons - Добро пожаловать новым патронам!

Hello guys and welcome to my Patreon!

I have a special announcement to make! Together with your great help and support we've reached a 500$ goal this month which FULLY covers my eye surgery this December,

And as and artist my eyes mean the world to me. So I will be able to have my surgery and do not worry about the recovery period which will, hopefully, be rather short as the doctor says. But anyway, thank you all so much for helping me to make a living with my art!

Подкаст. Часть 1

Мы с Антой очень старались, рисовали и беседовали на интересные и важные темы. Бегите смотреть! Для патронов доступ открыт на неделю раньше всех остальных.

Я рисовал картинку типичную для Анты и нетипичную для меня и vice versa. 

Elf mage - Эльфийская магичка

Наконец-то я могу поделиться этим рисунком! Делал его еще в Августе для нашего совместного подкаста с AntaRF. Ссылка на подкаст в следующем посте для патронов. Для всех остальных  он выйдет в воскресенье!

Finally I can share this drawing w...

Our little secret

Thanks to a wonderful comissioner!

Quick study

Thank you, guys!

My dear friends!  I want to welcome the new patrons and thank those who support me for quite a while!

You have no idea how great is the impact you have on my life!

Thanks to your support I was able to get a much needed vacation in summer.

Thanks to you when my computer died  I was able to buy a new a fast one and now I'm all armed to create more great arts.

Thanks to you I will be able to pay part of my medical bill for an eye surgery that will happen in nove...

What Crowley wished had happened after the church

This is a 1st but not last picture of my Ineffable Husbands Erotic project which is a kind of 5+1 thing. 

5 times Crowley wished he had sex with Aziraphale but it never happened, and 1 times when it actually did.

So each picture in the past represents Crowley's fantasies, but not reality.
