vamos!

improvement i think

A trans boy whose body is ravaged with a fantasy illness called "white leprosy". He hides behind a large snail shell, as a metaphor for protection, for having his own metaphysical place of safety. He has a small "lamin" in front of him. A maranao wooden tower after the indigenous people of the southern Philippines. Curling plants, wildflowers and weeds and other fauna and snails gather at his feet.

A safer place, in a softer world.

A sea star and a sea cucumber seemingly vague reference to the Creation of Adam.

Hi everyone!
Not a fan of self-promotion, but I’m finding it tricky to grow my Instagram and connect with mutuals

Since most potential collaborators are here, it’s the best place to showcase my portfolio
So if you want to support me there it would means the world to me!♥

A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...

Hope someone finds it useful!

One of the first things I got to do for Kampana. A style frame from early development when we were still figuring out the style for the film.

It went a different direction after this but it was fun to be part of exploring the style :3

May her journey home be safe. ✶

their first Valentine’s Day #ohshc

An illustration of a fat trans man, wearing a crown similar to the style of the ones worn by Garuda, and other beings of southeast asian folklore. His ample figure is clothed with blue, embroidered silk, with rich golden brocade of roosters and diamonds. Two, long strings of pearls hang over his chest, and his arms are bangled. He is beautiful, with his eyes long-lashed, his skin a warm, toasty color, and his black hair waving in loose curls behind him. He sits on a backdrop of animal and insect portraits.

Lord of All Things Brief

Two men in bed together. Annatar and Tyelperinquar, from JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. All suspicion is lost between them as they sleep. Annatar has pale skin, and his fana is that of a trans man: he has top surgery scars adorned with flower tattoos, revealed as his robe falls over his slender form to show his chest. His pale silvery ringlets cascade over the pillow. Celebrimbor is a taller man- a willow elf with black, wavy hair and warm brown skin. Hd has one arm curled affectionately around Annatar's neck, and his head is close to Annatar's, positioned so his lips are resting on Annatar's brow, in a tender, sleepy kiss. Moonlight shines on the two of them.
