Shay the Maker 🧡🌍

The difference a lil over a year of making art makes~

The Calm

Lil (redraw) piece for my neglected writing WIP "Shadow of Doubt." This is Kit and his cat Milo enjoying some piece amidst ~the murders~ in the story.

Sometimes you get the itch to draw but you don't have any direction to take that itch... then you just fall into madness.

My most ambitious artwork yet. A lil something for my story WIP Dread Secrets~ Pictured are my characters Ansellus Kestrel (King of Wisea) and Celesto Krone (The Dread Queen). Calling this piece: The Final Stand.

trying to develop my ocs more through full illustrations, helps me visualize them easier haha

Think this might be the final version of Exalos' map~ Exalos is a flat world (for very silly reasons, same silly reasons there is a perfectly circular island that is not perfectly in the center lol)

Some ink only drawings I did to get myself a bit more confident in my drawing without being able to erase~ (also notes to no one about said sketches)

zero from drakengard. I was trying to play with more dramatic lighting this time around, and I think that it really enhances the piece compared to what it was before, haha.

Quick figure study sketch + ink only + ink spilled =

rendered a much more detailed full body of an oc that I am developing for the passion project I am working on. still experimenting, but I think it turned out well!

worked on a character piece as a part of an art event on Discord. I think it turned out really well, and I really like the design of this character!

Some expression studies I did for The Maker (was too lazy to draw the glasses for this xp)

Some quick drawing and pose studies so I can play around a bit more with a painting style~

did a nice study of a quiet corner, was trying to improve my color matching and observation skills. Feels nice to try and improve my background understanding a bit.

A lil piece for my story Dread Secrets~ Tried some new rendering and painting techniques for this one and had a lot of fun.

Characters: The God of Nightmares and Illusion (dark hair, she/her) and the God of Memories and Remembrance (white hair, he/him).

Guess who finally opened blender after having it downloaded for a few years? (literally just did the monkey part of the doughnut tutorial by Blender Guru lol)

Waking up from a dream and going "Who are you people?!!!" to the sudden FULL CAST OF CHARACTERS in my head. They have a story/backgrounds and I don't know these people are but they're apparently not going anywhere so now I'm making character references/notes and DX
