I've decided to apologize (once, here) for all the "bad" art I'm ever going to make and post, but I'm going to do it anyway.

After struggling with severe anxiety about showing my work to the void, I'm ready to just do it. I will make art I'm not ready to make.

Here goes. Sorry, not sorry.

I did decide to tweak her a bit more. I felt like the face was a bit too skinny and the eyes too high. I also adjusted the shading on the arm.

I may go back and tweak her a bit more later, but I think I'm going to use the color halos for a bit as a series.

Thank you for hanging in there with me. ❤️

A stylized anime portrait of a girl with medium-length wavy black hair, warm brown eyes, and freckles. She's wearing a light blue T-shirt and smiling softly. Behind her is a large pink circle that frames her head and shoulders.

Kept messing with this for way longer than I should have and I'm still not sure why I don't love it, but I don't. 😪

Just gonna keep listening to that Ira Glass quote on repeat and try again later.

Doing more timelapses now. You can tell when they're AI, because there's no meaningful change from start to finish. Isn't progress the whole point?

I did! Once I dreamed I was Mitsumi, living in her world or an alternate version of my own life, but through her eyes (or the other way around, it’s complicated hahahh`)

My first oc dream was about Ryu! He came to pick me up and we climbed onto my roof to watch the moon together🌃🌕

I need to take a day and work on eyes. It's a weak point that a lot of my drawings have this 1000 yard stare going on.

If anyone has any tips/tutorials they've used, please let me know.

Spent the evening with noise canceling headphones on and working on my Clip Studio Paint workflow and it was some serious bliss.

Hope you like what's coming! Follow for more!

Decided to rework my previous post. Refining is really helping lately. I want to try to get into more full body poses soon.

Happy Halloween!

A touch of color today and a bit more gradation to the eyes. Just going to keep trying things until I lock in!

Thanks for following me!

Finally corrected my sleep schedule! If I can correct my sloppy lineart next, y'all are done for!

Kind of a mixture of the stuff I've been trying lately with some of my older techniques.

THIS IS GENIUS! I haven't seen this before but such a good idea because of how BSky handles reposts. Nice!

Found a drawing of my OC Luca Porlum from way back when (2021) and redrew it in my current art style!

Soooo yeah. I'm genuinely pretty happy with this. Glad to be back on the road to 100.

Feeling like I've made some more progress.

Digital black-and-white sketch of an anime-style girl with long black hair and glasses. She has a calm, soft expression and is drawn in a high-contrast monochrome style with solid black fills for the hair and eyes. Dated 10/23 with initials “SP.”

Also throwing this out to the bluesky dev gods, but can we *please* get a following feed that leaves out reposts?

I love that my follows are so supportive of others but I'm following them to see their content and I want to support that work.

Clicking "media" on every account is so sloooow.

Definitely was overtaken by some game development tasks for the last bit, but I'm coming back to continue my journey to 100 this week!

Hoping I can make it to 50 by the end of October!

Thank you!

Another day another study on the #RoadTo100.

Chizuru Ichinose. From the never-ending-edging-saga (!!!) that is Rent-A-Girlfriend. 😫
