Folks seemed to like the Masks stuff from yesterday, here's my other major (non-oneshot) character from that system that I love with all my heart.

Her name is D, she loves pizza and punching things bigger than she is.

I've loved Masks every time I've played it, and I always love designing my characters.

I like solving superhero-themed problems

Like how would a character with shadow magic would hide her secret identity. Sure she could use a mask... but that's less fun.

I also sometimes like animating. It's fun

Something art-shaped I realized recently that was game changing and nobody told me -- if you've got something you're trying to show the form of, but subtly, and you're struggling because if you add more highlights, it's Wrong (tm), but if you don't, you cant see it?

Edges. Sharper edges. Control.

Do some studies off an actual planes of the head model you can download for free instead of using the plagiarism machine

If you've ever seen these photos online, you may be interested to know I took them about 15 years ago

You may also be interested to know that I did a 3D scan of this exact same Asaro Planes of the Head model, and you can get that scan here for zero moneys:

If you go to the gym: what’s your favorite gym day?

If you exercise without the gym: what’s your favorite exercise?

I’m mid-workout and my brain is chatty

I was thinking about last year and ups and downs and trying to acknowledge my accomplishments cuz I have a hard time doing that and I realized I did easily over 100 designs! That’s not even counting illustrations or other pieces

Things may be tough rn but I’m proud of the year I had last year ❤️

Bounty hunter hippo mom????

BOUNTY HUNTER HIPPO MOM!!!

Another piece for an upcoming project I'm super stoked to talk more about!

Ft. the sketch and a design for a knife that we ended up needing to push more towards fantasy, but was still fun.

think of all the cool art we’re missing out on because creators are constantly fighting to survive economically, fighting against corporations trying to automate creation, battling online trolls, nagging to get paid for work completed, learning to be being social media marketers, learning to be publ

HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!
🙌🙌💖💖💖
San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Officially no longer on twitter at all. fully deleted, not just private and unused. It was time. Frankly it was time a long time ago, but here we are

I feel so free

Oh thank you, that's very kind! I lost my job in November, so all commissions are wide open!

For private work, my rates are:
200 for items
300 for characters/creatures/monsters
400 for environments
600+ for full illustrations!

Other styles and crops are cheaper, but that's the usual! Thanks again!
