The Art of Moth Monarch (M. Capaldi) • Posts Tagged ‘magic’

Photo of open sketchbook with assorted pencils, pens etc. to the right. A cartoon moth in a whimsical magic outfit waves a wand with arms out, eyes closed. Blue and golden metallic swirls come from the wand and wrap around the character. The moth's outfit is dress-like, with a large pleated skirt and longer front piece, round buttons over a layered top, puffy upper sleeves, gloves, and long boots with little crescent moons on the feet. They also have a witch-like hat with a crescent moon decoration on the brim. Most of the rest of the page is blank except for a tiny bug in a simple outfit carrying a glowing staff doodled in the space to the upper left. Art by Moth Monarch.

Still weaving magic. 🪄

Photo of a lavender sticker sheet with whimsical celestial-themed moths and related accent stickers. Nine moths have moons, stars, and small constellations on their wings with purple, blue, and pink palettes. Their shapes are inspired by real species like the luna moth, comet moth, cecropia moth, sphinx moth, etc. Accent stickers include four-pointed stars, five-pointed stars, a moon, a planet with a ring, and a four-pointed comet as well as a line of moon phases vertically in the middle of the sheet. Some of the stars, moons, and markings have metallic details catching the light here. The top of the sheet reads "Magic Moon Moths" and the bottom has the artist's name, "Moth Monarch".

Scan of a pencil drawing. An anthro squirrel stands looking over her shoulder to the right with a stern expression, wearing simple robes with a belt and bag strapped across her chest. She has short hair and pointy ears. One hand rests on her bag while the other casts a bit of magic off to her side at the left with spread fingers; the magic appears as a few swooshes of blue-purple pencil that form an eye-like symbol in the center. Signed Moth Monarch '25.

Digital art of a cartoon Polyphemus moth in a layered blue robe with round glasses and feathery antennae, holding an open large book and glancing off to their side. They have a brown belt with a pouch, two gold keys hanging from their belt, and brown boots with curved designs and a couple tiny four-pointed stars. Their head and wings are tan and brown with some of the patterns typical of their species visible. The background is made up of various pieces of parchment with drawings and indecipherable handwriting. Signed by the artist, Moth Monarch.

Sketchbook page of cartoon insects in various outfits and poses. A couple moths are dressed in robes holding staves, there are various bugs in different types of coats, there's an ant in an apron and a moth smiling in a coy pose with wavy-striped wings. Tiny simple ones fill the spaces between larger ones.

Busy little bugs! 🐛

Photo of a sketchbook page with Posca markers around it. The page has a drawing in black ink of a cartoon moth posed with wings open and arms raised bent outwards from the body with palms open. The moth is surrounded by colorful swirls, four-pointed stars, sparkles, and dots, including several stars in a line over its head. It has purple eyes, star-shaped eyespots on its upper wings, and small crescent moons on its lower wings. Colorful text written above and below the moth reads, "They could not silence the magic in you".

Photo of a sketchbook page featuring a cartoon moth bust with a fluffy ruff flowing into rows and layers of colorful clouds and swirls with sparkles throughout. The moth's eye is green and teal with a four-pointed-star shaped yellow and orange pupil and a few more small yellow and white sparkles and catchlights. Its lineart is in dark blue; lines above and below are in shades of purple, lavender, and light blue as well. The color is very vibrant, popping off the cream shade of the page.
