Fantasy characters mixed media drawings 2022–2023

This is a selection of watercolor and colored pencil drawings from my sketchbook that all feature fantasy characters or creatures. They’re all unrelated and are not a part of any project at the moment, but I didn’t want to create a separate page from each.

Borg Queen mixed media drawing by Nela Dunato
“Perfection”
Ink, watercolor, colored pencils, white gouache, and gel pen in an A5 hot press watercolor sketchbook

I watched the entirety of Star Trek: Voyager for the past few months, so this is a little fan art piece to commemorate the series finale. (I know it’s not considered “the best” Star Trek series by fans, but it was the first one I watched as a kid, so I have a soft spot for it.) The Borg Queen is one of the most interesting and compelling recurring antagonists and in my humble opinion, has the best character design.
