Dunno if I am doing anything right anymore.... as an adult and an artist.

🦋 LilacPhoenix @lilacphoenix.bsky.social · 3d

Sometimes I wish I were given a proper roadmap or a solid path to follow to help me build my career as an artist. I tried to do it on my own for so long but it just caused my self-confidence to become almost nonexistent, and I don't know what to do anymore. :x

A pair of custom designs for @nahlan.net ! Earth elemental hippogryphs inspired by a deer and kirin, as well as seed-eating birds. I've done more designs for this client, and I'm open to doing more for others :)

#furry #furryart #commission

A flat color illustration by Dynamo-Deepblue of a male hippogryph with a reddish brown, almost autumn color scheme, and a lean but muscular physique. He has branches for antlers with flowers and leaves growing out of them, as well as some leaves on his chin, shoulders and wrists. He has exceptionally furry paws for hands with green claws and cloven hooves. He has large wings with an elliptical shape like those of seed-eating birds such as sparrows. He has a long and thin but fluffy tail with short tail feathers at the base that evoke the image of a deer's tail. He has a brown ponytail and beard with lighter streaks, and a larger darker brown mane with a happy trail. He has small, horse-like ears and red eyes with a subtly flirty smile.

A flat color illustration by Dynamo-Deepblue of a female hippogryph with a brown and cream color scheme. Her body is brown with a darker brown underside, and cheetah-like spots in the same dark brown as her underside. She has a single horn-like branch coming out of her forehead adorned with flowers, and leaves growing from her shoulders and wrists. She has exceptionally fluffy paws for hands and green claws and cloven hooves. Her hair is huge and styled with long flowing locks and a huge braid, also adorned with flowers, and it is a light cream color. She also has a mane in the same color around her neck. She has a beak and large wings in the shape of elliptical wings like those of a sparrow. She has a long lion-like tail with a cream tip and darker brown tail feathers at the base. She has beautiful blue eyes that evoke the image of spring water, and prominent eyelashes the same color as her mane, and is looking toward the viewer with a subtle, demure expression.

Meanwhile I want to return to making adopts and YCHs, so hopefully you see some of those soon cause I am struggling without a job and feel embarrassed to keep asking for help. ._.;

I might try to give Patreon another shot and revive my Ko-Fi. I just need to make plans on how I will share my content and rewards on those platforms. And decide whether I share 18+ art on Patreon and/or make it SubscribeStar exclusive

What's a better way for a freshwater mermaid to enjoy her day floating along the pond than with a good book and some tea?
