Hello
I don't post real work online anymore thanks to genAI so instead I'm spamming some random scribbles here

1st #artfight attack (my very first ever💚)
It's Milo for @paratonia.bsky.social

I saw the helmet, immediately read the story and just couldn't resist to try my hands at some historical inspired ink artwork
*scrambles for words to explain it all, fails and just points at the painting*

#art #OCsky

historically inspired ink drawing of a wanderer with a downturned gaze. He is framed by brambles that reach through the frame into the picture. There is a dark halo around the helmeted head of the man. He's armoured and carries a polearm of the type bec de corbin/Rabenschnabel. In the background there are stylized hills and trees. The piece is black and white with only a few red lines through the halo and his red coloured sash.

I'm glad he inspired you to participate!

(Also this was a perfect timing actually since he turns one year old this month)

Congrats on the 2K, here's to many more! And thank you for the art share ❤️

I love antagonistic or morally questionable ocs and sometimes I draw them too

Thank you! Ingmar tends to make everything a bit tough and bland because he's following recipes to a fault. Birk doesn't really mind the boring stuff, they know what kind of abominations he is capable of creating when he gets experimental 😔

That does sound ominous, once again very grateful there is a happier AU to compensate for the horrors 😔

In 2024, after finishing my first fully coloured piece in a long time, I decided to write an essay on why I’d felt unable to complete anything for so many years. Only recently have I had the time to put it together into something others can read. Here is the first part of it:

Why I couldn't finish anything [Part 1]

An essay from 2024 that explores why I couldn't complete any artwork and how I overcame my mental block enough to finally finish something.

Such an interesting read, thank you for sharing! I'm sure many artists out there with debilitating perfectionism can relate to the points raised here. I certainly could.
