RE the Anno loading screens shituation, I think it's actually insane for a franchise that has had a rep for such high quality genre artwork to fuck this up.

Literally just the other day I searched for an old 1404 loading screen to use as ref.
What a goddamned shame.

The bittersweet reality of loving and being loved this much by my gorgeous velcro cat, knowing this inimitable love is irreplaceable.
Feel lucky every day to be this creature's favourite creature ❤️ love you, old boy

The art vs the artist's hands 👉👈

A little while ago someone told me I had hands that look like they should be holding a sword and I have been living off it ever since ⚔️

We lucked out and got a bundle of different sets secondhand for a ridiculously and generously low price, including this bakery - so cute!

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

Honestly one of my favourite types of environment to paint! The first image is actually a set of videogame environment assets that I put together for a demo level

Rear delts checking in! It's been a habit for a little while now, so I am definitely entering my muscle mommy phase, haha.
Feel better than ever tbh, I try to go 3 or 4 times a week unless wiped out by illness and it really helps

Everyone should have a cat like this in their life.
My daughter was poorly with a stomach bug last night, and Cush stayed by our sides, purring loudly and checking in, until she had stopped being sick.

Given that my partner is away at the moment I couldn't be more grateful for our comfort cat ❤️

This time last week I was with my family in Efteling - I want to go back!

Artist! Post your favourite underrated art. Let's give'em more love 🖤

I think it's probably this. I don't think people engage with it as strongly as my other work, but I know how much I learned from the process so it feels like a success to me. Either way I still like it!

There's something so totally captivating about painting portraits, real or imagined - I don't think I'll ever tire of it ✨❤️

Figure study WIP. Something nice to finish a tiring day on with my last few braincells

A fun fact about Cushion - he was called Indie when we adopted him, but a month or so after him coming to us I came downstairs and saw him on the sofa and said 'Cushion' and that was it from then on :)

✨ Process with some notes on how I like to approach colour :) 🌈

Calling this portrait study finished :)

Really happy with how this turned out. I've been working hard on anatomy and perspective lately and it's given me a lot more confidence in my working process ✨
