My girl Lillian Valera and her life guide, Clyde! Our lovely main characters of the personal comic I'm working on. I'm so proud of this piece and how the lighting came out.
#OcSky #art #comic #DreamingOsiria

A digital illustration of a changeling woman with gold eyes and ram horns, She has on cowboy attire and a white hooded cloak. A throwing blade is strapped to her thigh in a custom holster with the letter L on it. Laying on the ground next to her is her life guide, Clyde. A maned wolf chimerea with two horns atop his head (Whats not shown is that he's got hooves for feets) Both characters are looking up at a Firby, a bird like creature with a horn, scaled tale and an internal glow. There's also a firby nestled in Clyde's tale.

Mmm I think the next investment I make is getting a stand for the graphics tablet. The past few weeks, my shoulder has been getting reaggrivated like hell after a few hours of art, even with stretching and breaks 😭

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I'm writing a college essay about self publishing comics and why artists should give it a shot/how it could launch them into something bigger/how magical it all is to have your story told. Hey @cartoonist.coop peers, anyone willing to answer some questions?

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Howdy to #PortfolioDay !

My name is Deej and I'm a freelance illustraor and comic artist looking to make peoples day brighter with some cool art.

A digital illustration of a pseudo trading card depicting a red haired woman with light grey eyes looking thoughtfully at her journal. She has black raven like wings sprouting from her back and wears a purple colored sweater with leggings. In her hand is her own feather turned into a quill pen.
The text at the top reads: "Fallen Knowledge"
The bottom box quotes her saying: " You can never learn to much from a book. You can red it a million times and always find something" -Astra Cole

A digital illustration of the Jaberwok from Dnd crouching over cavern ruins and babling to itself. A tiefling is near the back left, trying to hide from the creature. While there is a lamp and a sword on the ground, just behind the lamp is a tiny Axolotl. Why? Because my partner asked me to include a pink axoltl (since it couldn't be on the stairs

A digital illustration of a Brine Dragon from Pathfinder. The dragon has emerged from the ocean during a thunderstorm causing waves to topple over a boat.

I have 😭The friends I game with know very well that I will imprint on any creature, inanimate object, or thing that I am not directly having to slay (though even that doesn't stop me) that I run across and try to bring it with me and baby talk at it so they've got a running joke about it

I said I was gonna work on personal art today but instead I was afflicted with the return of Minecraft brain so, no art got done. Only tinkering with mod packs to try and get them to work and playing vanilla mc when it didn't
