Rehearsals starting this week! This is my second performance on Twitch and I'm really nervous because of everything I've been covering this year in practice, as well as a handful of new pieces. Anyway, hopefully I'll see y'all on the 20th @ 5p ET!
Been learning a lot about Ravnica the last few days. I feel sad that I missed all the excitement around the Guilds and Allegiance sets :(

Exercises like this help soothe my brain and let me visualize the layout of my colors and my most likely combos of color mixing. Color chart > color wheel. They're also the first use of new mediums, like for these Polychromos pencils.

At this point I have no idea when this book will post. It's certainly not at all ready like I thought it would be, so i'll just keep working away on it until it's done, I guess. Hope everyone's having a fabulous Sunday morning!

Hey artists! With the holidays around the corner I'd love to get some spotlight on creators shops instead of supporting big businesses.
So if you've got a kofi, a shop, or comms open please share them here! 🛒
Would love to have a lil thread for folks to go browsing and support artists! 🎨💵

Realizing that I haven't painted a thing in too long, but I'm specifically holding myself back from traditional media until I have a stronger foundational understanding of my media. Don't be like me. Go draw. Go paint. Learn as you make (advice I should listen to but I'm stubborn).

Okay. I'm sure I'm not going live tonight. I am also sure I've gotten pages right to where I want to be so I'll be working this next step off-stream once I get through other stuff I've been putting off. Happy post-Thanksgiving!

One thought I've been putting energy into over the last couple of weeks is, were I to be stripped of every other thing I've ever achieved in my life, professionally, I'd still be an artist and storyteller.

I did it! All the inking is done for One Act #1, meaning the rest of the week is about cleanup, color, and publishing! #makingcomics

This weekend I'm putting up the tree!! It's not so much that the holiday has gotten away from me, but rather that there's less time between Thanksgiving and the first of December >.>

I rearranged a few things in my schedule to help me prep for the new year of activities and studying. Ear training (and vocal warmups) in the morning rather than the other end of the day.

It's so wild to me that Bloomburrow is SO in-demand! Gods I missed a lot of Magic over the last couple of years! That set will stay on my wishlist for a little while longer, I fear.

My problem isn't that I'm trying to *learn* everything, but that I'm trying to *master* everything. This is what's holding me back. 🤔

Some time ago I decided to rework this cover so that it was a little more consistent with the looks of the other issue 1 covers. Tonight, I want to finish that up and clear it off my plate of projects. #makingcomics twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

Back on the flute practice :) It's exciting every day to pick up this instrument, spend a couple hours practicing, and be excited to find more music to play.
