iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

10. I did more art trades than art collabs, honestly! But if the question refers to collaborating in projects with other people, then yes I did! And very much so, I really enjoy it!

100

9. Generally, I really enjoy drawing & gifting people art, but I realized after a period of time of doing that that I wasn't fulfilling my own needs but kept ignoring them instead. So right now, I try to focus more on personal art.

100

8. Honestly, ever since I stopped caring about being perfect or have my art be "the best", but just listening to what I want, or rather, what my inner voice tells me (which does want to become better but to make myself happy in the things I wish for), I feel more confident in my art.

100

7. Well... Few years ago, it was more professionally, currently it's mostly for fun. It kept changing because of life circumstances. I'd like to strike a balance for both but will see, still trying to figure some things out irl for that.

100

6. My least favorite thing to draw is the things I don't know well enough & end up struggling with them (part of me is obsessed with speed). Last time I disliked drawing hands holding chopsticks, eventho I had fun drawing hands making 🫶. But it's a necessary step to go through and we'll all be fine.

100

5. I use references whenever I lack something in my visual library or if I want to represent something more accurately. Which is often, and that's okay. It can help us realize our idea better, if the idea asks for it.

4. My favorite thing to draw. aside from lizard people 🦎✨, I do enjoy drawing backgrounds, any kind although nature is what I like the most. And, in general, finding interesting compositions IRL through urban sketching (not shown on my art blogs/social medias. I keep it to myself for now).

110

3. I didn't take classes until end of high school bc I wanted to "get better at my hobby". It was 2-3 years, & then I went to art academy for 5-6 years. Technically, I still take workshops & classes even now. So it's something that is ongoing. In short, many classes, always something new to learn!

100

2. I have been drawing since I was a kid. It was more so a hobby and to express my inner world and ideas. There were times were I stopped drawing, like in high school, but it made me feel depressed instead. So it's definitely something I can't go without. So my whole life so far with a few pauses.

100

1. I like both digital and traditional! I find more freedom in traditional art tbh (especially 2 meters tall canvases), but digital is what I use the most bc I have the most practice and comfort in. In a way, it's also a habit. Would love to return to making traditional art though...

100

Oh right, I forgot that gimmicks are down and under maintenance...

000

I think I am slowly getting used to the new job, but gosh do I want to finish and post art so badly! 😣 Grrr

020

I've been wanting to share my strawpage for some time, so here it is: plavi.straw.page It was made for fun, but feel free to send an ask or a drawing if you have a need. I have a fridge to put your art on. (If you also have a strawpage and you like this post, I may sneak in and leave you a drawing)

Here’s something I made for the Elder Scrolls Women’s Day Anthology back in 2020! 💗 I never expected for Jaxsik-Orrn to grow on me during ESO’s Murkmire story. She’s so fierce, determined, but deep down kind and I wanted to dedicate a piece to an amazing character like her! #Argonian

Happy International Women's Day! Back in 2020, I invited women and femme nonbinary creators to submit artwork and writing for an anthology focused on women in Tamriel. Check it out here: bit.ly/TESFemZine

Cover of a zine titled "Dearly Have I Bought It", and subtitled "An Elder Scrolls Women's Day Anthology".

The creator's names are at the bottom: Enolezdrata, Lady Nerevar, Lemon-M, Plavigmaz, Ravnie, Shayna Moon, Sparkleshield, Serpentwined, Tori Schafer, Wyv.

The cover is a limited palette painting of famous Tamrielic women of different backgrounds and time periods, including Almalexia, Urzoga Gra-Batul, Delphine, Iszara, Barenziah, Astrid, and Khamira.

Drawings from my sketchbook when I was waiting at the dentist. It's my Argonian sisters Dances-With-Colors & Kicks-Many-Tails, as kids and portraits of them as adults. [ #art #ESOFam #ESO #TheElderScrolls #Argonian ]

Image shows a scanned sketchbook depicting pencil drawings of two Argonian sisters, Dances-With-Colors & Kicks-Many-Tails. First top left drawing shows their home. Second top right drawing shows top view of their home. Third drawing in the middle shows the two as kids walking side by side, Colors is carrying a bucket while Kicks is holding on to her sister. The background shows the marsh with a crocodile peeking out of a lake. Bottom two drawings are portraits of them as adults.

"It's rare a Priory scholar is also skilled in combat. I'm... an exception." My #GuildWars2 Commander, Rory Littlearrow 🏹

A digital drawing of an asura character from the game Guild Wars 2 riding his skyscale while shooting a bow. The asura has dark brown skin, white hair and a halo floating behind his head. The skyscale looks like a giant flying lizard colored in teal, brown and sunflower yellow. They are flying on a sunny day, in a blue sky over a green forest.

If words are more your thing than pictures, I also have a random prompt generator for Elder Scrolls writing: ghostchoir9.com/prompts It gives you a narrator background, a topic, and a location.

Screenshot from the TES Writing prompt website. The prompt is "A politician writing about birthdays in northern High Rock"

Awww!! 🥺💕❤️ That means a lot, thank you!

Aaaa hvala! 🥺💕 Inače ih ima tri kod kuće. Imam nove skice sa njima, ali moram ih još linijski dovrsiti. I iskreno moram im jos smisliti imena, to ti sad “potajno” kazem na svom jeziku 😂

Stone-Will's scale color is different here because he used to be a vampire in-game (by accident but I kinda liked the color back then). It's changed now though. But I need to properly introduce him to y'all 😤
