Still working on the rendering of that sneak peek I posted a little over a week ago. (I jump from personal project to project... pretty often.) So have a few moreWIPs in the meantime and a quick look at my usual workflow. ~

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

Sometimes you just have to leave a piece in the oven for a while until your skills are catching up to the direction you intended for it.

Still a #WIP and a close-up, but we're getting there.

Another day, more Aspen.

This one has actually been in the works for quite a while. One of those WIPS in the hoard where I took my sweet time trying to learn more about a certain style or approach.

Considering where I started with this one- the time it spent in the oven was very much worth it.

2d illustration. Digital. Stylized. Portrait of Aspen with a flowercrown, showing his scarred back and dragon constellation birthmark. Style study of more classical paintings.

Still alive! Just swamped with work.

But I briefly return with chibi expressions of my boy Aspen. Will be using these for the next campaign oneshot and I'm really looking forward to it!

Might make a few more for future use.

Hopping onto the bandwagon with this fun little quiz but didn't want to bother anyone with quote reposting.

The answers are... Peculiar and not at all what I was expecting, but still interesting!

Probably quite new because I don’t think I even know what half of those words mean. The lieat stream was fun though.

You can’t just drop info like that and not share house WIPS, Leroy! 😂

A good thing that keeping things weird at times also keeps life fun and interesting!

Rare fanart drop! My first impression of this vtuber was a #loveanddeepspace clip through the yt algorithm.

It made me laugh so have some snapshot art with Xavier and Alban.

I just really love this Ipomoea artwork and I thought I'd share it again ✨

#art #oc #ocsky

Ipomoea is standing while holding a thin branch in her hands, some of the flowers scattering in the wind. Behind her there is a large tree in bloom with white, glowing flowers. There is a pond in the background, and in the distance a building that looks like an observatory can be seen that is built with the forest trees. The piece has a frame embellished with stars and a crescent moon in the upper right corner.

Anyway, if you like a creative's work, please tell us. Tell us what you like. Tell us what it means to you. Because we probably don't see it ourselves.

Every time I look at this the rendering just wows me.
The way you did the books is so smart too! Great use of suggestion and repetition.
Plus its Cam. ✨
