Guess now is as good a time as any to mention that my online shop is open again after a long hiatus! I'm just one guy, so be patient with shipping times (and tariffs ooof) especially as we approach the holidays :] #MersArt

brainrot won, visual timeline of #Valentin in different stages of his life, the tldr of it is things were pretty bad for him for a while until he said "fuck it we ball" and things continued to be pretty bad for him 😎👍 • #MersArt #ArtSky #MersOCs #OCSky #OC #TTRPGChar #cyberpunk

definitely improved!

I tend to "blame" this to the 3 years of figuring out how to teach character design/visual narrative to other people working with only the vaguest of vibes, and learning a lot myself as a result. fake it til you make I suppose lol
