Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In His Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

Also. Seepy.

#wip
A wip snippet of a Shukaku from Naruto. He is a sand demon, in the shape of a tanuki, a sort of Japanese raccoon. He sits on his big butt, feet out, paws on his belly and eyes closed, sleepily.

Some background details for this piece. I'm loving the monitor view of her walking into the room.

#wip
A cropped shot of a WIP of an illustration I'm working on. It shows a host of monitors behind the character's armored shoulder, and shows a figure slumped on the desk. On the main screen it shows a camera view of the character walking into the room from another angle. A cropped part of a WIP Illustration I'm working on. It shows an armored guard slumped against a wall, unconscious.

Thank you for always doing a self promo Monday.

These are my 2 latest pieces, 1 commission and 1 fanart. I've got another comm I'm trying to finish this week with another fanart also going!
Andrea, The Verity Digital Art 2025, Commission work A straight on, half body illustration portrait of a human woman. Small in stature, she has bright blue eyes that look down on you intensely. She has religious/nun garments on that are frayed and burning at the edges. She holds her hands up to her face in prayer, with a censer hanging and burning from them. The scene is filled with embers and thin wisps of incense smoke and a bright white halo shines behind her in the shape of a crown. Uchiha Madara, Rinne Rebirth Digital Art 2025 A scene of Madara in a Sage of Six Paths outfit. He has long, black hair that flows off and a purple and red eye respectively. He has a face sewn into his chest that he reaches and looks at longingly. In the foreground, pink lotuses bloom off of wooden branches. Behind him is a sort of statue of Hashirama Senju, whose arms embrace Madara.

Congrats on the milestone! Nice to meet you,

I'm Grant. I do character illustrations and been fully freelancing for 2 years now.

Behind him is a sort of statue of Hashirama Senju, whose arms embrace Madara. MITSY! A fantasy circus clown stands in a very dynamic pose on one leg and curving over so she's looking at the POV upside down. She has a broad grin on her face, with smudged black eyeliner and gold glitter. She has black lipstick on too and blonde curly hair. She has too massive jester ears with a massive bell on the ends, a red frilly neck thing and leather jackets. A lot of gold emblems and buckles embellish her red and black clothes. There is a big deconstructed hoop around her that has golden knives from the ends. She has in her hand a pristine porcelain mask in her hands and covering half her face. Neith, Opener of Ways Digital Art 2025 She's a dark, towering figure, all long limbs and flowing robes. Horns like a crown burst from her head, emerging from inky hair that trails off into nothingness. She has multiple, spider-like eyes, strikingly pale against her oil-slick skin. She has a gaping maw revealed under the robes with sharp, white teeth. She looks larger than life and strikingly inhuman. In front of her is another character curled up and floating in a serene state. The entire image has an oil sheen motif and inky oil features. Commissioned on Tumblr

I like adding these shapes in my compositions to symbolize things.

For example, the bottom part of this piece is meant to be in the shape of Hashirama in Sage mode. But like every instance of Hashirama in this art, his eyes are closed.
Because Madara is longing for someone long gone.

Hey it's Wednesday and I have a #WIP to share so I can take part in #WIPWednesday 😱

This is next on my list for commissions, I'm so grateful for the return clients 🙌

In other news, I'm on other ADHD meds because the previous one was... not working. That first week was a normal response apparently.

"A world of only victors. A world of only peace. A world of only love... I will create such a world.

For truly this reality is a hell"

I went HARD into HashiMada and I love them both.

I was taking a break from socials this weekend, because it's actually my 31st birthday tomorrow. But I came to check something and had a bunch of new followers and now I'm at 997🥺 Which if I hit 1000 followers on my birthday would actually be so cool.

Here's an old pic of my late ginger, Hunter❤️

Agreed, your art is very good 😍

These are my 4 latest ones.
Uchiha Itachi A digital portrait of Itachi Uchiha, sitting on the stone Uchiha throne. Sunlight pours in from off screen on to his arms, keeping his head in shadows. There are multiple crow feathers all around him. MITSY! A fantasy circus clown stands in a very dynamic pose on one leg and curving over so she's looking at the POV upside down.

This piece is a new workflow where I take a traditional sketch of mine into Krita to color and render.

She has her hands behind her back and head tilted mischievously. A slight glint of her needle sword is seen behind her.

There's some Advanced moderation settings in Bluesky set to Hide some posts by default, it seems.

The engagement farming one is interesting because it seems lately it seems I have to repost some art myself for it to get a little traction.

#artistonbsky #smallartist #artistsupport
Test from Bluesky settings under Moderation: Advanced > Rude. It's defaulted to Hide "Rude" posts? Text from Bluesky's Moderation settings page. The default is set to Hide "Engagement Farming" posts.

I've got new art to share, but I'm only going to do that later when more people are awake.

Here's a sneak peak👀🔥
A compiled image of multiple states of completion of a digital painting. The content is of a holy warrior clouded by incense smoke from a gold censer she holds in her hands which is in front of her face. She has a deep, intense stare and the edges of her robes are embering and glowing. She has strawberry blonde hair tied in a messy bob under the habit. Commission work. Close Up

Fuck AI 🖕 There's really no positive to genAI unless it's to mislead.
An old digital art of a dnd character from 2020. She stands in a gradient background with basic cell shading and a boring pose and expression, haha. Macha (Not too spicy pin-up commission) 2025 Digital portrait of a muscular woman with a military jacket over her bare shoulders. She has red wavy hair tied into a pony tail. She is wearing a red cotton vest and a black jeans with a leather belt and grey socks. In between her legs and held up by her hands is a metal broadsword.

I'm loving this color palate and I'm obsessed with this composition.

BUT let me know which hair color do you prefer because I cannot decide.

It's been great being able to draw so efficiently lately. Can do commissions and work on personal art too.

This workflow is proving to be very effective and I just need to bring it closer to my wanted style of mine.

Yeah this workflow is pretty fun, it flows better and is much faster, but it's mainly working so far for more anime style drawings.
