Regarding Procreate's 5.4: Don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, but their forums have been plagued for years with long-neglected requests for basic features that pros need daily (like a color picker that ignores certain layers, folders that have color modes, or actual adjustment layers, to name a few).

En los últimos meses he empezado muchísimas ilustraciones que dejo inacabadas (o incluso cierro el archivo, sin guardar). Una vez satisfecho con lo que veo o la exploración que quería hacer, siento que no merece la pena pasar por “el esfuerzo“ de terminarlas para compartirlas en redes sociales.

Lady Geist I did from memory. She’s so not on model but who cares, I had fun.

Imagine being able to digitally paint. Like, sometimes I look at the piles of professional concept art and illustrations that I’ve done over these… 20 (?) years, and think “Oh god, did I really do that? How?”

I swear, if Valve ports/releases Deadlock on mac, it’s going to be the best and worst thing that could happen to my life.

Quiero comprar un par de sets de dados de D&D que sean absolutamente preciosos y sparkly, muy homosexuales, y a ser posible, artesanales hechos por alguno de vosotres 💖 ¿Alguna recomendación para esta chica? Os leo ✨

Why am I feeling the urge to do some low poly 3D all of a sudden? It’s all I’ve been thinking about for a week.

Splash art I illustrated for Dream Daddy that you'd be rewarded with after completing his romance route in the game.

Mis queridas @dianadardo.bsky.social y Franela están hoy celebrando el Orgullo en Almendralejo (que está mu lejo!). Yo tuve el placer de hacerles estos retratos hace ya un par de años (que se dice pronto). Ellas son talento ✨

Unrequested advice for my young artist friends: If someone reaches out asking for a free art test... RUN. It's not "an opportunity", it's a trap wearing business casual 😉

You know the scene, you've used the meme… and now you get to PLAY it! That should help you understand why we have TWO levers! 💜💚 It’s been an honor to illustrate the one and only Yzma (while playing Eartha Kitt songs in the background, of course). Artwork property of ©Disney #Lorcana TCG

I dare you to pronounce his name! 💣💥 He’s GREWNGE from #TreasurePlanet! Kind of sounds like "grunge" I guess...? I’m still not 100% sure even after #Disney taught me, haha 😅 This was a really fun collab with Simangaliso Sibaya, a super talented artist I have the privilege to share credits with! 💖

🌳🐢🦌👸🏻🦉🐿️🌳   I'm beyond happy to have my first regular card released in #DisneyLorcana, but wait… my Snow White illustration also got picked as a Promo card for this set! Am I the luckiest guy on earth? 🥲 Join your local store launch event for #ArchaziasIsland and you might get rewarded with it! ✨

Ended up buying one to test it myself. Then I understood why I wasn’t finding many reviews from artists: As nice and premium as the device feels, the pen quality and how it interacts with art software is far from what you get with a Wacom, Huion, or Apple Pencil.

A year ago, this little fanart project landed me a dream job as an Art Director at Disney Lorcana ✨ Never let anyone tell you that posting fanart is unprofessional or unserious. Celebrating what you love not only brings joy to your artist heart, but can also open incredible career opportunities 💫

Is anyone over here using the Surface Pro 11 for drawing? I'm... curious about it. Sounds like a sweet 2-in-1 machine, but my experience with other Surface products (and their pen) wasn't that great. Any thoughts? 🤔

I drew this silly submarine a few months ago, but it wasn’t a good moment to post submarines.
