Your comment was what brought me back on this! Im very happy youd want to pick this adopt up but personally Im not creatively satisfied with it and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to sell something im not proud of 😅 Eventually I may return to this design but until then I appreciate the love!

In 2017 I dreamed of being an artist for games and Ive accomplished that, the projects ive done havent been anything big or prestigious but I always did my best with each project but I feel like theres still something out there for me. Or im just hungry.

I feel like theres something i should be aiming for greater than finding more work and money but im too hungry and tired from work to think about that

never showed this cuz i didnt like how it came out but its building on the idea of this older character i thought of exploring the tragedy of what a vengeful member of a peaceful people would look like.

The only thing im not confident about is my speed and stamina, My adhd still gets in the way most of the time and its mentally exhausting trying to finess my brain into focusing on tasks. I wish the start of drawing was more fun and exciting but the blank canvas dread gets too me a lot

Starting new contract work soon, fairly excited but half heartedly will miss the quiet days despite being driven crazy by the idleness of it all. Tho I think I spent my unemployment quite well all things considered. Didn't grow a lot but I've got my creative confidence back which is my biggest win

My briegest apolocheese to all my adopt enjoyers, I usually would put one up near the end of the month but I don't think I will be able to create any for a long while 😔 I sincerely appreciate all the support you've given the past few months and i hope you cherish them as I have

I had no idea!! Shadows over Mystara is in my top 5 classic beat em ups next to King of Dragons and Streets of Rage, His experience on the game im guessing attributed a lot to Dragons Crown later on? but thats super cool, Ive just been unknowingly an enjoyer of his work for a long time

HAHA Truly a shared plight for the industry, You work on one specific task long enough and thats all youll be able to show to future clients 😭 was this some sort of video interview for Vanillaware devs or on an article? cuz Id love to learn more about their story!

Im in my Vanillaware art appreciation era, wish I had the time to play the games myself but just dont have the time these days and artbooks and pinterest boards can only show you so much.

Oh yeah i never shared this design here but i made this for a friend as practice for making more anime style design which i dont really do a lot. I've worked in animation studios before but it was either super cartoony or very semi realistic so its very Kaouruart to try drawing everything

Kaouruart @kaouruart.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
pretty sure this is a regular thing for animators and i have such respect for the volume of drawing they can do, something im trying to work towards

Bonus art for the winner!!! I felt very possessed on this and noodled way beyond a sketch but not too polished enough to be a full render, either way I really enjoyed making this

The background had to be redrawn twice cuz drawing the fish eyed perspective was way beyond my current skill level and then I remembered I was a general artist and did a simple block out in 3d and painted over. Early sketch if ur interested to see. I use mosaic pixels to establish overall colors

Cant really juggle too many things, tried in the past but It's better to do one thing right than 2 half assed but I think my mistake in the past was giving up personal art while I worked so instead I will do things in moderation

Got a little work coming In now!! But honestly I've been having way too much fun drawing anthros and adopts that I kinda don't actually wanna give that up so I'll still do that! It's not a stable position but I get to do what I love and that alone is a blessing enough.

It worked very well for my partner! and vignettes also helped a lot when i play VR games, the reduced vision is just a bit annoying but at least its adjustable. Id be very interested to hear if this help other people too!

Kaouruart @kaouruart.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
The game is Cat Mail co btw! I was playing this game with my partner who experiences bad motion sickness but unfortunately had no accesibility options for it so I took it upon myself to see if I could help. Funny enough this idea came from the game gambling with friends where you can sell an eyeball

Kaouruart @kaouruart.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
This is very unrelated to art but if you or someone you know experience motion sickness in a first person game and it has no accessibility options to help I discovered that by combining the overlay feature on Pureref and a hand made vignette it could give some relief for motion sickness!

I once did a commission like years ago where the commissioner gave me like a blank character and told me i can dress them however but it would be fun if i could get like a design theme like oh this my character but i love clock work fantasy and id just work from there MAN that would be wonderful

Kaouruart @kaouruart.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
Id love to do commissions one day but im just not really sure what type of service to offer, Skeb styled would be fun but Im not too confident with Illustrations. Tho I really like the idea of a casual design one like what If i drew your character in such and such. I think that would be very fun!
