❄️ Yuletide Erin ❄️

I just saw that Ireland made its basic income for artists permanent and I have never been so jealous.

What must it be like to live in a country that actually values the arts?

I'm happy for all Irish artists and hope maybe this kind of thing will expand elsewhere.

If your argument for using AI generation for any creative endeavor, is that you still commission artists for “serious stuff” and just use the generative AI for fun…

Then you are a large part of the problem.

Hey, whether you did hundreds of artworks this year or one artwork this year, you are an artist, and you're doing your best. Be proud of whatever you created this year. Life ebbs and flows.

What a precious bean!

Ombra live in tribes, which usually end up feeling like one big family. Everyone looks out for each other and work together to provide safety, security, and a sense of belonging. Marriage is a deeply spiritual concept, as Ombra will bind their shadows to one another

Tenebris has a "forever night" sky, filled with stars and celestial bodies. Our resident astronomer, Celeste, loses herself in them so often that she comes across as eccentric. But we love her for it 🥰✨️

Thank you so much ^-^

Aaaa thank youuuu 🥰 I'm so glad you're enjoying the vides so far!

Yes! There is no sun in Tenebris. The only natural light comes feom the stars, moons, and bioluminescence of the fauna and flora ^-^ (and Ombrite, of course ;))

Thank youuu!!

Hehe thank youuu! Gonna try and encourage artists in the Ombra community to make their own Karakul :3 they're too pretty not to share

Haha yesss :3 Ombrite sneaks into most aspects of Tenebris :3 especially weaponry and alchemy due to it being able to act like a poison

Yessss 100%

One of the creatures in Tenebris, Karakul, are feline-like beings that share a symbiotic relationship with the plants around them! Their chests and abdomen are hollow, where plants grow and share nutrients between the two.

Oooohhhh this is gorgeous!

Digital sketch of Carmine's stage persona/artsona, a burlesque succubus, lying on her back in a pinup pose, her legs extended straight up and her tail curled to display the scorpion stinger.

Lewd stage/artsona scribble as a warmup today. Tryna get some actual work done this weekend but I'm rusty.

References are NOT cheating! And you can use references for more than just anatomy and poses, but colour and lighting too!

This is absolutely stunning 😍✨️

A black unicorn against a muted mauve background. She rears up, raising her golden hooves. Her head is framed by shining sun. Rings carrying starbursts circle her, and tiny stars and droplets of gold fleck her long flowing mane. #Stasanie

The Star

consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work

it does matter

What absolutely gorgeous art! Loving the colours!!

A Venn diagram outlining ikigai, a Japanese concept meaning "a reason for being" where it looks at the overlapping of passion, profession, vocation, and mission as a perfect way of being

I forgot to share this. Had a wonderful experience sharing a long uber ride with a south American lady when I got to the UK the other week and she told me all about the Japanese concept of Ikigai and I just love it.

Find your ikigai and be happy and fulfilled 🥰

Aaaa thank you ^-^ I love them and need to make more haha
