Jinx WIP

Jinx dressed up as Silco

Family photo of the pieces in this current pottery update. There's a jackalope, a wolf cerberus, a strange long cat looking creature, and various little guys like a whale, a kaiju, wolves, and dragons.

Surprise! I finally got some new pottery available! ✨🍁
Lots of new critters, and I've also got some goods to help raise funds for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund!

A Vanco WIP before bed... 🫣

A digital painting of a turkey vulture, sitting in perfect profile on a tree branch. the branch is covered in lichen and moss, and a few sparse but bright green leaves. the image is made up of pinks, yellows, and browns, with some green and blue. all objects are depicted as polygons and lines, rather than curved.

This month's #BirdWhisperer is the turkey vulture! He looks cold, or maybe I'm just projecting lol

Silco sketches/practice/WIPs from the past few days, plus attempts at greyscale painting (first pic is the newest, its going better now lol)

I feel like even w/ just these two eye studies, you can see how much more confident/bold my lines are by the time I get to Sevika and Viktor! Now time to start drawing characters and destroy all the confidence I just gained 😤

Okay last set of eyes lol, I need to stop procrastinating on drawing the characters... 😅 This was fun though, and helped me with getting a bit more comfortable with digital again

Trying to draw Vander and Silco's eyes (digitally, no references) and evoke some emotion solely with lines. Plus thinking about how to draw Silco's scars - I think less is more

why is she so mad at Silco 🤣🤣

Also I’ve never seen this image before 💀😭

I know I’m late to the Arcane hype lol but this is the most beautiful art book I’ve ever seen. Its massive and the paper is super thick and luxurious, plus so many freebies. Its a work of art unto itself for sure. And the attached pink ribbon bookmark! ❤️

As if they included Vander’s letter to Silco in the art book 😭 I’m dead

More pencil sketches. I’ve been doing several pages per day and it’s been a HUGE help. My biggest (and recurring) issue is just getting ideas/poses onto paper w/o overthinking it so much, so that has been my current focus.

Highlighting fantastic palaeoartists:

渔火 on xiaohongshu, a mixed-medium artist from China. Magical depictions of theropods. Pictures are panels from their Spinosaurus comic.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Tattoo of a black dragon filled with stars on light skin

Tattoo of a celestial woman with a sun face and starry hair on dark skin.

A dragon tattoo on a shoulderblade on light skin

Three tattoos of snapshots of characters, collected on a thigh. Light skin and black and grey inks, with a pop of red.

The Arcane art book is $80, but the "international edition" is $50 on Amazon?? I normally never buy from Amazon but I can't miss out on this rando deal 😭 I neeeed more Arcane in my life. I have no idea what "international edition" means but all of the product info is the same so... *shrug*

Sketchbook practice. Not drawing for 2 months was necessary but I wish I had at least done some studies during that time 😭 Its always such a fight to get back into it again, its like I forgot everything I ever knew...

Why even "write" a book if you're going to use AI to write it for you?? What's the point? How do you even market this? "Oh hey great book", "yeah thanks a computer wrote it"??? 🙄🙄🙄

I joined lots of author/writing Facebook groups a while ago and its ALL just AI images/covers and asking how much AI is okay to use. Every single group is the same 😭 I will never, ever understand the obsession with using this shit "technology" for everything...

Praise vi's back🙏

A drider climbing down off a rocky cliffside

More driders. ❤️

Tipsy updates ❤️

The hyperfixation is real when I start printing references… 😫

(my printer is old af so excuse the lines lol, it does its best)

K gonna try posting this again. MShep and Mordin sketches

KPop Demon Hunters was awesome (I'm catching up on all Netflix things while I have a month's sub lol). Loved everything about it. (Also give me a story about shame and being accepted by others and it'll absolutely destroy me every single time 😭)

Well I REALLY didn't like Season 2 but I liked Season 1 enough that I just bought it on BluRay ❤️ I wish I could also get the art book but it'll have to wait until I'm more financially stable

Reminder:

Check to make sure the games you wishlist on Steam aren't riddled with AI Slop.

Junji Ito Maniac: An Infinite Gaol is sadly packed with Gen AI trash and its broken my little horror loving heart

When my world is feeling heavy or I’m feeling on the verge of overwhelm, my go to is to put something good out in the world. Hoping I can brighten someone else’s day in return brightens mine. Closest thing I can provide to a hug via the internet.
