Finding new artists to follow organically through touching grass/wandering the non-visual-art side of the internet is good and all, but also sometimes I will stumble upon an artist, go to their account page, and find out that everybody and they mama follows this person and NOBODY TOLD ME THEY EXIST

🥪LUNCH BREAK 🥪 "What? No harm in tackling the easy commissions first." #ElioGaelri #Art #OCsky

A digital illustration of Elio leaning back in a red and black chair while eating a sandwich. He holds a square sketchbook in his lap with an ink drawing of Kyrvaarno, a whale-eel with large mushroom growths scattered around it. She circles a star as she curls up for sleep. Elio has one foot on the table in front of him, which has several things on it: a stack of books, which a wooden sleeping fox is on top of, a posable green mannequin, two flower pots (the bigger one is shaped like a dragon head and has a fake succulent plant), his pictomancer emblem next to them, a stack of green papers, a failed attempted at his current Kyrvaarno drawing, two crumpled pieces of green paper, and a mug with coffee in it. Under the table is a trash box. To Elio's right is a drawing table with a big blank green paper. Between the normal table and the drawing table is a magical floating brush holder which has a cradle of cloud holding it up. In the middle of the brushes is a bowl of water.

Elio looks at the viewer with one raised eyebrow as he takes a bite of his sandwich.

What's up with all the blind MCs in anime lately? Like I'm glad we're getting blind representation (even if Kunon's was... hm. The Invisible Man and His Soon-to-Be Wife was pretty good actually! Only gripe I had was sound design using a tapping sound for a cane. We'll see about Love Unseen), but ???

‼️🧪DR. TETO IS HERE🧪‼️ Fanart for @sidoopa.bsky.social 's fan video for Sasuke Haraguchi's " Medicine " / " イガク " ‼️ #重音テト #kasaneteto

Teto as designed by Sidoopa in their fan video for Medicine / イガク!
To the left there is a half body shot, with Teto holding a green syringe that is glowing radioactively with one hand behind her back, with a happy expression. She says: "Don't worry about the green glow!! I'm a Doctor!!"
There are 2 other Teto's, one reflecting an expression in the video of her looking up from underneath mysteriously, and the other reflecting an expression during "DROP IT" with sunglasses and a little thumbs up.

This was my most listened to song last year & part of it was this music video, I love it so much! I've linked the video in the second comment for anyone unfamiliar! Thank you for reading!

TW: syringe , needle

Finished the staircase drawing. I am now simultaneously like "why don't I use the painterly method more often?" And "I am never drawing again!" Never draw people in perspective on a staircase raw. Use refs with people already in a staircase, or do not draw people in the staircase at all. #art

Spiral staircased viewed from the top down, angled, with people scattered about standing or sitting on or near the staircase.

I'm so tired of needing to eat istg it's a never ending cycle... cook, eat, do dishes, repeat. Is there nothing more to life than the repercussions of my bodily needs? Must so much time and energy be spent on staying alive? On the other hand... food yummy

Every time I'm reading Erha and we get an illust where Mo Ran is showing a lot of skin I'm like... but... but Taxian-jun was pale as hell. So I am asking calmly and politely WHERE ARE MO RAN'S TAN LINES? WHERE ARE THEY? YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE'S BEEN ASSISTING THE COMMON FOLK OUTSIDE BUTT ASS NAKED.
