The low angle Frieren drawing meme is the most wholesome & heartwarming thing in the art community right now. In the era of slop, seeing a novice brave enough to post their “bad” art and get an outpouring of advice & encouragement is awesome. It is indeed a difficult angle.
Photo of a sketchbook page with a drawing of Frieren (elf lady with side bangs and long flowing pigtail hair) drawn at a long angle. There is faint blue pencil sketch with regular pencil over the top.

I kept Twitter around solely for oogling foreign fanart & had to share this. Randomly came across this Japanese artist (Samu-chan) who makes these bonkers-ass maximalist shirts & they are amazing (username @ boku_smkw). I hate "ugly xmas sweater" parties, but would buy that insane pigeon xmas shirt.
Image of 4 t-shirts. Top L: Entirely rainbow shirt with large mirrored pigeon photos and a line of repeating pigeons along the bottom, and giant tacky rainbow gradient Japanese text (Hato Suki!!!! I like pigeons!!!) chrome and sparkling 3d embossed stroke. Top R: Rainbow tie-dye swirl shirt with large katakana "Po!" in the center, with a radial burst of pigeon photos and scattered Po! everywhere. Bottom L: Bright red shirt with repeating gold bells across the top and bottom, some xmas garland and photo collage of pigeons with Santa hats and bows, also pigeons eating cakes and large gold chrome wavy 3d English text that reads "The best Christmas." Bottom R: Black shirt with two pigeons facing each other and text that says (katakana) Dobato VS Kijibato like a fighting game.

I want to get back into some paint marker/traditional stuff. Here's a little Posca marker piece I made for a friend last year (those are all her critters).
#acrylicmarkers #posca #petportrait #animalart #myart
Photo of a square canvas. There is a turquoise frame and an aqua backdrop with a pattern of white fish and bone line drawings. The main subject is a black greyhound with a white splotch on its chest and a teal collar, a black cat with yellow eyes on its back, and in front, a majestic looking grey and white fluffy cat with one green eye.

Upsetting news. I would only allow Suica penguin to be usurped if it was by Emuemu-Chan, my favorite mascot of all time. Otherwise.. *suck air thru teeth sound*

In the “Everything is a fake/slop/scam” realm, now you can’t even look up types of flowers w/o a bunch of weird fake fantastical colored/shaped flowers popping up for sale as seeds on Etsy and sketchy websites. Although some are so fake they’re hilarious:
Screenshot of a Google image search for “orchids.” There are two orchid images but then a sponsored image that is advertising “Cat Face Orchid Seeds- Unique Garden Blooms, $32.99” on Etsy, and the image is a very fake AI image of fluffy hot pink and white flowers with white kitten faces in the center of the flowers

I know what they meant, but I choose to interpret this as a British-named product

Just sharing an old character commission I did a few years ago. I still like how it turned out!
#illustration #characterart #fantasy #elf #jinn #myart
A magical tan-skinned elf/jinn woman floating over a dark grey backdrop. She has a massive flowing high ponytail of white hair and a flowing blue two-piece ensemble resembling a bellydancing outfit. She holds up a glowing staff and casts a glowy blue spell from a floating spell book. She also has glowing ice blue eyes and a translucent purplish blue veil over her nose, mouth, and neck.

Chugging away on my cover project! I wanted to share some of the thousands of small decisions that go in to everything. Namely I changed & tweaked this dude's face & head SO many times before I was relatively satisfied!! We'll see if it changes again after colors!
#illustration #wip #artwip #myart
Side by side screenshots of line art of a shocked guy's face over a blue sky backdrop. In the left image, his head is larger, eyes large and mouth open wide in a scream/yell. The line art on the right still looks shocked, but less screamy and more dumbfounded. Mouth agape, but not wide. Head size and features have been shifted and tweaked a bit.

Here's another old inktober piece from 2019.
#ink #illustration #dogart
Ink and grey copic marker drawing of an old man with large nose and chin smoking a cigarette with his hands in his pockets. Below, the ash from the cigarette has made a pile on a cute panting dog's head.

Crashed at my friend’s place last night- I’d already gotten approval to stay in his teen daughter’s room. She’s an excellent weeb and I found out she likes Apothecary, so I left her this secret little Jinshi on her manga shelf. #apothecarydiaries #kusuriyanohitorigoto #jinmao
Photo of vol 1 of the Apothecary Diaries manga displayed frontward on a bookshelf. Cut out of brown sketchbook paper is a little ink drawing of chibi Jinshi staring and reaching out adoringly to the MaoMao cover illustration

Sketch doodles at my bud’s place
Messy sketchbook page showing rough figures sketched in blue pencil, and a weirdo doodle saying “Mother, am I a beautiful unicorn?”

Thanks for love on this! It’s a silly thing, but I’m happy with how it came out. Here’s a photo of 90% of the materials from the dollar store (dinosaur fruit snacks not included in build)
Photo of stuff on a rug- black broom handle, shiny tablecloth, a spool of ribbon, orb-jar, a small bottle of paint, and wooden craft frames. And a box of fruit snacks with a skateboarding t-Rex with shades on the box 😆

DOLLAR STORE WIZARD STAFF ACCOMPLISH

I walked to the hardware store today and bought a $6 light up Halloween necklace so I could extract the small light strand for my wizard staff. But after managing to remove one plastic ghost, the lights stopped working. 😢 If only I understood electronic wiring

After some pissy starts, I'm happy w/ some progress I've made on my book cover project! I usually don't do a color comp until I do finished linework, but this time I decided to work on color comps with only sketches. Still comping the book graphic design elements as well.
#illustration #wipart #wip
Screenshot of my working Photoshop file- shows a book cover illustration featuring blue sky and water with a shocked fisherman in a Hawaiian shirt falling on his boat as an orange stripey mermaid splashed out of the water and is snapping his fishing rod in half. The cover also has black Lorem Ipsum text and the title "Plenty of Fish." There are also duckies.

Went to a weeb store after seeing Chainsaw Man yesterday and they had flippin Takopi plushies!! In case you want a snuggly friend who reminds you of child abuse/neglect and all the horrors of the world! There was also a lot of Made in Abyss merch, so the store owner clearly loves trauma anime 😆

After always feeling like I dont have enough storytelling in my art/portfolio, I got a jolt of inspo & came up with a sketch for a book cover illustration. However the past few days, actually WORKING on it has been SO hard, my focus is shot. Heres a potato-quality WIP preview to say I did something🫠
Cropped tiny screenshot of part of my clean-up sketch, which shows what may be a mermaid yelling angrily and breaking a fishing rod over her head
