Morning figures

Just some pose practice

plus a stylized image of Siltheas that I liked a lot

2 fast lineworks

Feeling dreadfully uninspired rn and just .... fiddling around. 

Icon idea

Might do more of these?? 

Cicadas for Teftuft

Cicada reading a periodical for the periodical cicadas of 2021!  I made the first one more realistic(ISH) and wanted to try something a little more illustrative so I did the bottom one.. And I...

Nekot icon

Alright so. I'm playing around with varying the color in shadows and 'grey' areas. It's more visually interesting. I'm not great at doing it, but I think I'm learning.

I also played around ...

The Forever Commission and a Patron Gift

It's really lovely and spring out so I've been going outside a lot and being a living animal rather than an undead artist, which feels AMAZING.  So art is a bit slow. But I have finished a rea...

Siltheas the Dusk Drake

Digi paint for my roommate 

Garden Troll

Speedpaint just for fun.  I had a rough time mimicking the mostly-frontal lighting of a flashlight but it came out alright. I learned something, and that was good. There are still rough areas ...

Sketches for Patrons

Warmup doodles 

Blood and Roots WIP

I've been working on this for a while now, off and on between commissions. I'm trying very hard to work everything I've learned lately about composing images and man, my brain is on fire. It's not ...

Painting Experiment #2

I had been playing around with thick outlines and a kind of comic-style but it was kind of boring... And then I threw on some brighter orange and it started to get more interesting.

It's not ...

Kitty

Playing around with cross-change (when the figure and the negative space kind of 'swap' darks and lights) and with hard lines vs. soft passages. I don't know if I'm good at it? But it's interesting...

An Update

A large file plus some commission WIPS 

Practice arts

Figure sketches from photos Except the last one that was just for fun.

Some stuff!

The first one is a commission. The rest are character doodles 

Figure Drawing (yet again)

Just, the kind of thing an artist should be doing all the time. I am NOT great at it. There's something about all the muscle and bone and stuff around the collar-neck-head area that I just DO NOT g...

So I'm on Strattera!

I followed the labyrinthine path of mental health and wound up talking to a psychiatrist. I lucked out and the medicaid facility I fell into has a lot of genuine, helpful, interested doctors.  ...

Infected

Just fiddling around with my new paint, which I LOVE, holy shit. The coverage of this stuff is just out-of-this-world amazing. It's the closest thing to digital painting in real media but with just...

glo tiger

Some messing around with my new paint. Here's a large size for you folks. 

Gen Painting

Commissioned painting I've been working on for maybe a month now.  I tried to get it at an angle to reduce glare but it's still there in the hand, d'oh!

Will be finished sssssoooooooon...

Asukas

Another werewolf :P 

Today was a study day

I had a great deal of trouble sleeping because I had a psych telehealth call this morning (which ended up being fine) so today was a low-key reading and study day. I've cracked all of these books, ...

Composition and planning on commission

So, I've been learning as much as I can about composition lately, because it's an area in which I do not excel. I've been watching videos on various websites, especially New Masters Academy, readin...

Sunday stuff

Oh man. I've had this brain-splitting headache from the moment I woke up and three pills later it's still hanging in there. But here's some stuff to look at. 

Werewolves and lion color refs

A commission for color ref and the two player characters for the whitewolf game I'm running. 

Gladiator Lion

One commission down. Here's the giant file. 

SoFlat Nekot

Wee tiny paint I'm sending along with the shirt

My first SoFlat Matte Acrylic Painting and a Review

Alright! I finally got the chance to use the SoFlat and it's amazing!  The perfect paint for me in a LOT of ways. The only drawback is no smooshing around, which you get with the gouache and o...

Wanna see what four-hundred dollars worth of paint looks like?

Depressingly, if this were gouache it’d be far far less.

my new SoFlat came!!! Golden is the primo brand so I know it’ll be good. I don’t know yet if it’ll fit my painting temper...

Lots of Updates!

Hey my peeps! Sorry for being rather silent. I'm working on a lot of commissions right now and also getting the new rabbit settled in.

(for those of you who don't know, I've taken in a fera...
