Been dealing with lots at home & work. Forgot how to art for a while with all the stress.
Turns out I just needed to make more art of Etienne, my BG3 Tempest Cleric.

Also, horse girlies, please dont come at me for mangling the saddle/tack🤣😭 trying my best out here

Uploading this WIP is terrifying because traditional art is so much less forgiving than digital art.
Full post on my tumblr.

Vista was reunited with the friend she was trying so desperately to save. I have the opportunity to play her out of the campaign in a perfect story ending for her.... or keep playing her, since I'm so clearly attached...

bare minimum effort was applied, but did I spend a whole day in blender modelling a tavern so I could attempt to paint if from various angles? yes. it occured to me I could 3d model in blender and throw it into CSP.

I love Lethal and I love women, but I especially love Lethal Women.
naturally this led me to drawing my Cyberpunk 77 character since she was very much both. :)

Spoilered for open shirt and suggestive imagery. Shading is subject to change.

Took on a mob of overtime at work, struggling to keep up with art. Managed to squeeze out some Emoji's for myself and friends in our discord community!

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD.

Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%.

Keep voting with your wallet.

Omg the first book in this series still sits as my #1 "catches your attention with the first line." Loved it and this art is gorgeous!

How to tease a traditional WIP? teeny tiny videos, apparently.
Working on a traditional Alanna the Lioness piece, since its time for my quarterly comfort re-read of Tamora Pierce's works. :)

Back to working on Judy. Attacking the face so it stops giving me Imposter syndrome (where i look at it and it feels wrong) Biggest reason I struggle with fan art honestly.

Final product! Finished up the background with Prismacolor Pencil crayons, and tidied up the sky with white acrylic paint. I missed traditional medias and this reminded me so much of why I adored them in the first place.

As a reminder, I host a starter pack for trans & nonbinary gamedevs, if you are looking for a bunch of folks to follow in that space:

Another Vista update! Once i added pencil crayons to the mix, the skin tone blended a bit better.

Am i tagging right? 🤣

First off - love to see #BookSky trending up.

Second and totally not least - Storygraph is FABULOUS.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

Just adding a second post to mention that I referenced a pose on Adorka Stock for this!
I'll probably use my light table to refine this further on a clean sheet of paper too.

Its hard for me to share sketches and WIPs, especially when they aren't going how I'd like... but anyways, heres some Alanna the Lioness practice because the blizzard lighting was perfect 👌
