Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

One teeny, solitary baby stands precariously on Moms scaly leg.

Against a brilliant blue sky, with just a hint of mountains in the distance, a teeny baby monster trembles with uncertainty on its mothers scaly leg, grasping her long sharp claw for balance. It nervously stares (at me) with large bulging eyes, while the other hand is clamped firmly in its mouth. Bright scales of chartreuse, vivid orange and crimson red cover the body of this wee creature, accompanied by slender candy-cane-like curved horns atop its bald green head. I find it endearingly adorable. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana.

Tired & True 🇨🇦 Lee Styxx

It’s been a hot second since I’ve updated about my background illustrations.

I’m still working on them as promised! This is probably one of the longest studies I’ve done and I have to say I’m enjoying the hell out of it.

There’s been a bit of a lull in my ability these past few weeks, especially since April is a busy month in terms of holidays and birthdays for us that it takes quite a while for me to regain what was lost spoon wise. It took a lot and taken more to recuperate.

However I feel a bit better today and hope things are on the up and up once again. It seems every 6 months I hit a massive burnout patch and I feel I may have gotten through the most of it.

So here’s a sneak peek at “Dusks Dawn”

*drumroll* 🥁

A digital painting depicts a serene landscape at sunrise or sunset.  A large, vibrant, golden sun is positioned slightly off-center, illuminating the scene. Silhouette-like trees are prominent in the mid-ground and background, set against a backdrop of hazy, pastel-colored clouds. The colors suggest a misty or foggy atmosphere enveloping the trees and a calm body of water that can be seen in the foreground. The overall impression is one of tranquil beauty, with soft, blended colors and a focus on the natural world. The style is digital, with visible brushstrokes or digital painting techniques used to create the image.

"Sunset of a Dozen Suns"
Personal #art and a limited edition metal print by collaboration with a small gallery.

Only a few one-off exclusive aluminum prints were offered by the third-party seller that closed due to the pandemic. Just one was made for a show, I think it was selling for ~$800.

I think the one print made is still available, I will update this toot when I get more info.

EMERGENCY ART COMMISSIONS!!
Hey everyone, we have fallen way behind with getting the necessary things taken care of to safely live RV life.
In order to help us get the $350 needed today (to keep our spot at the RV park another week, so we have a way to connect, and safely park at night), my art is 20% off until further notice.
ko-fi.com/lukeorion/link/SAVEB
Here is the discount link. 
And please, take a few moments to share our fundraiser onto social media. We are still quite a ways from repairing the RV, then we need to sort out off-the-grid power, and get a small car to run errands and do food delivery with. If you see my face on tiktok, please don't ignore me. I'm not directly asking for money on there because I'm not comfortable doing so; I push my music and art because that's what I can do.

Fingers crossed, hoping we can pay the RV park within the next few hours. If you decide to send even a few bucks (NOT to the fundraiser) that will go towards the urgent $350 goal this morning. Thank you.
