teary, shaking, tired, waiting for my future counsellor to take my money already but I can still make beautiful things #artfight #phm #scifi

Eyyyyy new projection blorbo obtained. #olruggio #witchhatatelier (I love him.)
Sketch of Olruggio from Witch Hat Atelier, in shades of blues and greens. He's standing centered in the frame, body in profile to the viewer and hidden under his cloak. He's looking over his shoulder at the viewer and smiling. There is a bright light behind him, outlining his head.

the eldritch desire to make snide comments online not today, satan! I believe all people are capable of change, even if that’s entropy and becoming worm food which is great for the environment some are bent on destroying!

In September my good friend @oystarru.bsky.social bought me a book to start drawing consistently. Yesterday I finally finished it and decided to redraw my first piece I did in it. I’m proud of my progress and and I’m so thankful to all who have supported me on my art journey it means so much! #art

I finally put up all the art i’ve stashed away since the move; hopefully enough to do psychic damage to anyone walking in who isnt aligned with my my creative energy (including myself when I should be drawing more) 🤞

also kind of realising my instinctual feelings about something as woman of colour were shouted down doesn’t mean i was wrong and it’s making me reevaluate every way i feel about representations of women and sexuality in modern media

honestly I forget to sign my stuff these days and that’s on keeping my artistic spaces safe for myself I’m always amazed at how much more dimension and viewing direction i can convey in a sketch when I’m not thinking about the render. Doesn’t he seem taller in the ink drawing?
painted render of sketch, male figure facing left is backlit with soft evening glow on a deep lavender background. He has blond hair cropped at the sides and a red beard, and his green shirt carries hints of gold thread. Small braids adorn his beard and longer hair on the top of his head, tied back in a small bun.lineart sketch in fountain pen of a beared norman man with shaved sides and a topknot (atypical normal hairstyle)

thought i’d share a progress picture of this random prompt i did a modern au design with fungus wearing a sunhat and a camisole, but for some reason we all collectively remembered it as a sundress so, here it is!
young chinese man with hair in a ponytail and thin beard looks off to the horizon while leaning on an unfinished balcony. blue, indistinguishable sea from sky contrasts the pale lemon yellow of his sundress, a garment of instinct glamour, almost ball gown, as the artist has not yet decided how to render it except with a faint smattering of purple flowers

i remember in 2014 my friend florence posted her art progress through the years on youtube and when she started doing digital photorealism she got massively bashed for like tracing or faking her progress and i always aspired to cause that level of controversy
