I think if i mess with this anymore, I'm going to overdo it. So! It's finished up. Summer is ending, and I'm looking forward to Autumn, but it felt like these months flew by.

Just something quick, and simple. Inks and quick colour.

A rainy day like this is perfect for painting and drawing. I've been using my iPad/procreate quite a lot over the years, but the battery is starting to go . So I've been trying to get used to Photoshop and my Cintiq, again. It'slow goings in comparison, buuut! I'm am getting faster.

Alrighty, I think I'm done this commission!

031

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Progress on a commission. I'm almost done! Man, was this hard for me. For one, I've never done anything cyberpunk...ish, and two, never drew a background like this before. But I think it's coming along nicely!

I wish I could, but that's part of the reason I stopped posting pages from my comic. I just couldn't keep up. A relaxed schedule sounds waaaaaaay more fun.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Finished up the sketch! I never know what to do with hands unless there's a purpose to them. In this case, there wasn't. :D

Thanks man!! I really appreciate the encouragement. I'm hoping to get faster at doing these, so I can actually work on the second issue of the ol' comic. Pencils are done for up to issue 5, so... Just need to put the work in.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Mostly messing around with inking and colours, but decided to finish this one. Used my city waterfront as a quick background! It's something while I struggle with me improving my colour theory, backgrounds, etc. Even if I don't like my BG's, I have to least attempt them.

I think I finally finished this one. It's fun just going at the sketch without an under drawing. #art #artistsonbluesky #timelapse #fox #red

I still love this older, but recent painting of my OC from my comic,the ice queen, Inada Amai

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

I have to post waaaaay more on here.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

A little older art, as a treat. Older characters of mine.

020

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Have a little older art while I work through my block and come out with some newer stuff! Part of a series of like to revisit.

000

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I actually took a small break before going back to it! It definitely helped to come back with a clearer mind frame. I'm feeling better about what I'm working on today, at the very least!

010

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I really appreciate the support, especially as I work through this. I never thought of it that way.... So... Practice, practice, until I find a way to execute what I want to do. Or something. I'll figure it out. Cheers, man. Appreciated.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Back to not being able to draw or paint anything. Ugh, what is wrong with me? I used to be good at this. And happy with it. Now, I dislike everything (well, almost everything) that I'm working on. It's super frustrating. Maybe I need to go back to basics and keep practicing.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Now that's a good cat. Here's one of my four, Basil! (Also a good cat)

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Aw, I'm very slow at creating art these days. I'm trying to make more, faster, but I'm having a hard time with art, right now. Either way, I look forward to seeing your work when you do show it. :)

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Right now, only about 20%. I draw a ton, but I'm in the stage where I hate everything I'm doing currently, especially when adding colour. Sooo, it's a lot of practice, with little I want to show off.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

It very much does. Even some of the hair examples are like Colette's

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Finished. Decided on no real background for the sketch.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

I got into Letterkenny way too late, and now I'm almost finished it. And I'm caught up on Shoresy. Not bad for a quick sketch! I want to do more drawings of Wayne, and more of the Letterkenny characters. #letterkenny

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

I follow this artist on Facebook, too! I love their stuff!

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

A colour and painting study. This was just for practice. I used an example for the colour so I could learn and understand as I was going along . I'm never completely satisfied with my painting. But! I do like this

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

An older piece, but I really liked how I did the hands for this one.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Think we re going to see another little exodus of artists from Twitter to Bluesky. Do it.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

My OC Floe in more winter appropriate gear. One of the main characters in my comic that I'm working on. She makes her first appearance in the second issue. Maaaaaay colour this. I love inking.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Recently, a friend told me I should try selling adoptables. Like OC's I create, and then someone purchases the character for their own use. I'd like to try it. How does it work though? Like... not sure how to explain my question in further detail. But any, and all information would be appreciated.

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

This was a practice piece, referenced from a photo, so the subject/idea isn't mine. I wanted to get better at painting these kind of styles, using colour. Just practice

Gus Kosmopoulos @itsdeadly.bsky.social · 04/11/2025
