Procreate changed their brushes 🤔

Life had been too hectic with moving & job hunting to be able to work on art. Finally have a job that can make ends meet & able to sit down to work on art & projects. Here's 2 studies experimenting with the new procreate brushes. Might do more to get skills back.

Love it when studies allow me to play with different painting techniques for makeup

Happy Halloween!
Finished my OCtober piece and it works well with the spooky!

Redraw of Leyendecker's coffee ad painting in the Dragon Age setting, a bearded ban in an apron stands on the right, holding spoonful of coffee and a coffee tin, reading a note addressed to him pinned on the shelf. At the bottom there are text instructions about making coffee and a closeup of a purple cup filled with hot coffee.

a collage style illustration of chiara in blue/pink/grey (young woman with long dark hair and eyes, scarred face, snake tattoo on her forehead, antivan crow tattoo sleeve on right arm) to the left is a blue chiara in a sleeping/lying pose, eyes closed, text floating in her hair ("but you don't resent her?" / do you resent him?). top left is a glimpse of her face, worried eye, blood staining her head and hair. in the middle chiara is sitting perched on a low wall, leaning on her leg, expression haunted. behind her to the right is chiara in a dynamic pose, in crow armor, focused, about to strike with a lightning orb. text next to her head ("he's happy you're home." / "i doubt that.") bottom left there's antivan dagger designs, bottom right there's 5 crow feathers and text (not a home / not a home / not a home / a house)

illustrated double portrait of Neve Gallus from Dragon Age Veilguard. she's drawn back to back from the side profile, to the left is Neve in her default armor, to the right is her in her casual outfit the background behind her is made from elements inspired by her faction - shadow dragons

Happy one year anniversary to Veilguard!

This game and surrounding community mean a lot to me. I'm grateful for all the friendships it gave me, for all the laughs and memories.

Here's to many more years of inspiration and good vibes 🫶

Jinxed myself. Again.
Said my november looked pretty clear, so my lymph nodes decided to act up.
I will never be free.
I never learn 😔

My bday was on the 27th and sharing my art would be the best gift ever 🖤

Digital painting of an old shed in dappled sunlight, traditional animation style background with a fox dog sat in an open doorway. Cosy mood

Continuing my attempt to get back into daily art, this one site just shy of 2 hrs

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger

A second piece I've done in Cynthia Sheppard's smARTschool class, also featuring Lúthien and Beren from Tolkien's Silmarillion.

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

I don't want to have to make that change again. I just don't have it in me at this point in my life. Not while I'm still able to do it, and do it well. I want to be making games, I love it, but the true fear that I won't make it through this current industry turmoil and afford to live is paralyzing.

My everything is 😭

Digital illustration of Wirt from Over the Garden Wall, except he is a bluebird. He is wearing a cone shaped red hat and a dark blue cape, and is holding up a glowing lantern with his wing.

“If dreams can’t come true, then why not pretend?”

A little lost bluebird wanders through The Unknown, trying to find his way home 🍁🍂 #otgw

I'm not crying, you're crying 😭 love this so much ❤️

Deep in a lush forest, a deactivated robot crouches beneath a tree, cradling a magical sapling. Nearby is the tombstone of the woman who grew the forest from seed, whose work the robot continued long after she passed.

Chrono Trigger: Waiting

Fiona dreams of growing a forest to save the land laid waste, but it'll take centuries, so Robo stays behind to help tend to the trees long after her lifetime. 400yrs later you find him, rusted and broken down amid a lush forest, Fiona's dream accomplished🌳

If one more doctor suggests IV iron, I might have to take them up on it because 3rd time's the charm?

Another one in the medical mystery folder, for someone with severe scoliosis, anemia, and who hasn't been physically active in nearly 2 years, my lung function is a bit better/higher than the average for my category.
Meanwhile I get dizzy and nearly pass out if I breathe.
No asthma tho 🙌🏻 🙌🏻🙌🏻
