Si quieres pintar (con pincel digo) entonces lo mas que te puedo recomendar es probar acrilicos y barniz cuando seque, quiza puedes probar en una funda lo mas barata posible por si acaso no reacciona bien ๐Ÿค” pero lo dicho, unos posca cubren y aguantan bien en variedad de superficies

hacerme una ilustraciรณn propia para mi movil asi que pille una funda transparente, un papel un poco gordito, rotuladores y pegatinas, y me monte el apaรฑo, poniendo el papel entre movil y funda, no se menea y la ilustracion se mantiene bien, lo que se enguarra es la funda en si

En mi opinion, probaria unos posca o similares rotuladores acrilicos, son bastante versatiles, es posible que si pintas por fuera y no lo proteges de alguna forma se acabe yendo con araรฑazos o si se rasca con algo, pero se le puede dar otra pasada. Una sugerencia alternativa: en su momento quise

Amiguis, y especรญficamente artistas y gente que pinta cosas:

Digamos que quiero personalizar una funda de mรณvil.

Que tipo de pintura serรญa la mejor usar? Acrilica y pinceles? Rotuladores? Tendrรฉ que repasarlo? Entiendo que dependerรก del material tambiรฉn pero no tengo mucha idea de pintar cosas.

Halfbody profile of a brown dragon with white hair, two short horns and some clothes wrapped around them. The dragon is holding viola flowers, that are also in the bg along white tulips. Theres some sort of dark sunset background and a frame around

Chibi illustration of a girl with an unicorn's horn, a pointy hat, light fluffy hair and a dress with frills. She has multiple accessories in the shape of suns and moons, around her arms and falling from the dress. She's sitting on a cloud with her tail falling behind it. The background has some simple clouds and stars

I really like how these two experimental commissions turned out! I tested one of procreate's new brushes and I love it โค๏ธ

If you are interested, I still have a couple PWYW experimental slots on Vgen :)

I've done some more experimental PWYW ones on other sites and they are really fun! I do these with artistic freedom (within character's personality) however the OC inspires me - for example the dragon had themes of memories/remembrance so I searched for flowers with that meaning for the composition

Shiky's characters: a bat-like character who is sleeping, and a wolfcat character next to him, who is pulling some sort of blanket over him so he doesn't get cold while sleeping. They are both sitting at some sort of sofa

Commission done over Vgen for @shiky.bsky.social - I was quite excited when I saw the request to draw Shiky and Ivy, as they have such a wholesome friendship vibe together โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿฅน

Happy Year of the Horse!
I wanted to do a little art with the animal and mythology, so I picked the qilin, a Chinese chimera with a body similar to a horse, but with scales and manes similar to Chinese dragons

Halfbody of my character Valentine, a man with pointy ears, dark skin, blonde curly hair, holding a sunflower on his hands. He's wearing a light robe and some sort of golden feathery cape. The background is inspired by art nouveau, with circles on the middle part, rounded corners on top and bars at the bottom

Halfbody of my character Alba, a woman with grey skin, dark grey and black hair, and a black eyepatch over her left eye (the one we see as right). She's holding a moonflower up to her face, and she's wearing a purple robe, a navy sash with a pink braided stripe, and a navy scarf. The background is inspired by art deco, with geometric patterns of moons, lines and circles.

The Sun and The Moon
These two OCs, Valentine and Alba respectively, are quite opposite in all their themes, and yet they are rather similar in personality - kind people seeking to help others through their roles in life

A fullbody of a demon/tiefling woman with satyr legs, horns and an eyepatch in a flowy pose, kind of dancing with magic. The palette is made of a dark-ish purple-blue, a saturated blue, red, orange and yellowy- tone.

Decided to doodle something for myself combining two little challenges into one! With the palette given by @kiraelric.bsky.social and the #DnDMonthly challenge which looks pretty fun and chill.

I went with Alba, one of my latest OCs I adapted to play in DnD, she's a cleric who likes to dance โ™ฅ๏ธ

Poster design I did for a DnD party I'm currently playing on with my character Alba (the tiefling) :) each color is picked after one of the characters - I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out!

i'm cutting every

a couple minutes

in some twisted way,
i tell myself
"i'm making the most
