The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didnβt need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: 'Don Corleone, do you support this ship/kink?' But you donβt ask with respect. You donβt offer friendship. You donβt even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to get involved in your discourse."

not really in my opinion, no XD
your control of values is very good, and in your darker works you still often use clear light and accents to control composition and direct attention so I don't think they risk getting overlooked!
No, not you actually XD
01.08.2025 10:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Almost daily on my timeline I'll be like "why is this image so dark? I can hardly see what's going on ... ... oh, the artist probably drew and posted it in a *dark* environment where it looks way better."
01.08.2025 08:53 β π 16 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0Tip: if you drew a scene that's low-key (dark values), check how it looks on a white background.
I'm one of those weirdos who use light mode all over social media, and some dark images tend to lose impact on a white background, making them less likely to hold my (probably other viewers') attention.
A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.
King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.

I'm a freelance illustrator who's also born deaf. I was fully raised in the hearing world without sign language, and I use 2 cochlear implants. With them, I'm hard of hearing and still face barriers in everyday life. As an illustrator I'm very privileged...

Rio wears a spiked armor covered in roots and rotting cloth. The skull has tattered cloth and robed as well.
Hereβs an unused concept of Rio Vidalβbrilliantly played by Aubrey Plazaβ I got to work on for #AgathaAllAlong.
This was a fun character to play with, and it was interesting to see how we could incorporate roots, earth and decay into both her human and skeleton designs.

Around the mirror are books stacked, roses growing, and candles burning. There is a gold and ruby necklace on top of one of the books. In the reflection of the mirror, there sits Astarion. He wears a black cape covering his naked chest. He sits in front of an ornate red velvet chair. Leaning against this chair is Woe: Cazador's staff.

Digital illustration. A serene scene, itβs a bright day at the seaside. A man (OC, Xepher) sits on a bench at a train stop, watching the ocean. Heβs wearing a white dress shirt, navy slacks and black shoes. A travel bag lies on the ground next to him. Right by his side, sitting on the same bench, thereβs an orange cat keeping him company, looking towards the fluffy clouds over the horizon.
A good company. ππ

Illustration showing one book creator saying "I just found out my book won an award!" and the other saying "Wow, congrats!" but also wistfully thinking "I wish my books won awards. Or even just nominated. Sometimes I feel so invisible. Argh, why can't I just be happy for my friend? I'm a terrible person."
It can be so hard NOT to compare yourself to others sometimes, esp when browsing social media. To avoid getting sucked into a black hole of envy/resentment, try to focus on enjoying your own journey at your own pace.
