but mental health winter isn't forever ๐ญ
we wait
we're still arteests
just stressed ones
I haven't drawn since April so uh
coughs
trying again is rough
oh gosh I was gone for a lot of this year, I see that Makima has been on your poll a few times. My apologies ๐คฃ
So tickled to see you did Seiko though from dandadan โฅ
(and glad in general to see you settled in from twit nicely)
Makima, she's popular ๐คญ
my very self-serving and less popular answer though is NOI from Dorohedoro
big ladies ๐
It seems to be for some people? My own experience atm is a bit mixed, but to be fair, I vanished for most of this year.
got a sudden influx of followers in the last month or so, but no interaction when I post. but I do see others getting a lot of activity.
tldr: unclear ๐ฅฒ yes?
you have such a healthy art attitude โฅ
I fully agree
I think of every piece I do as a brick that then goes into the road/house/whatever art path I'm building. Everything is a stepping block to where you're going. Just keep going. Nothing has to be 'good' or 'bad', it's still a brick. You might like certain ones better, but it's all a journey.

Trying to remember how to art, so I grabbed a page from the Dorohedoro manga of โจthe babeโจ to practice coloring.
NOI is my queen. NOI in street clothes slays me ๐โฅ

The site/app teaching me Japanese (renshuu.org) is holding a contest this month for the little coin prizes you get after taking quizzes. They had to feature their mascot, Kao-chan. Here are my entries for 2025.
'Kao Gyoza!', 'Mischief!', 'Let's Roll!', and 'Best Friend!'.
trying to art again...
I can't type 100 EMOJI in hard enough capitals.
๐ฏ ๐ฏ ๐ฏ to all of this.
that last line is pure mic drop.
A nude female angel in a glass filled with alcohol, forcing her mouth open to drink the blood red fluid raining down onto her. Her expression is pained and she is crying. Black background, with a rainbow scratchboard effect for the lines.
Here's some crazy old art from my dA days (like around 2012). I was going through my files and still love this one.
It's definitely about a/lcoholism, which now that I work at a liquor store as a day job, is kinda in my face literally every day.
I worry about my regulars
"Dance With Devils"
Sorry y'all, I'm alive, I just started a new job in April and so far I have yet to adjust/normalize
no energy for friends or art or writing or reading or... anything that makes me me
I'll be me again eventually
eventually
Special place in my heart for this girl. always happy to see her.
I love her
and you draw moths so nice โฅ
Just tag this as tf and watch them come out of the woodwork LMAOO
I love her design, I love her... outfit? ๐คฃ
fun colors and posing โฅ
she's amazing and lovely and her design is off the chain and I humbly request more of her โฅ

Or in a non fan-universe, she's still a menace but as a roller derby girl.
#originalcharacter #oc
She is so dang cute โฅ
have I seen her before? Which like, group is she affiliated with, if any?
Certified babe โฅ
you'll have to show me her original designs? I can't remember what she looked like before. I love this design though, smooch smooch
Avery will take HER to the tulip fields and tell her she's pretty โฅ then offer to crack some skulls for her so she can take a night off
I think this would be lovely finished, but there's something lovely about the colors and whimsy here, too. up to you โฅ
aw honey, I'm always touched when you compliment him because I know he isn't your type and vampires aren't your thing
(hence you not having any XD)
...post wolfs instead ๐บ
Actually, it's a no for the first two ๐
but I'm going to give them a try next time I'm in a reading mood
(I tried before but I started with the audiobook. highly do not recommend ๐คฃ)
my heart is so glad you noticed that โฅ
every piece we make is a building block towards where we are now, and where we are going. I wanted to sorta visually represent that
I know some people struggle to look at their old stuff, but it just fills me with joy to see my old babies growing up with me
PSA: If you don't have your age in your bio, ๐ accounts (me) can't follow/interact with you even if we want to ๐ฅฒ
because we sure aren't going to guess and follow you anyway!
thank you for your time
BUT I AM SHY AND BAD AT COLD MESSAGING ๐
I'm on discord more than here, do you happen to also have it? I'm chattier on there
Much appreciated!! โฅ

Born in 1450 as Florent Thiรฉbaut, but currently going by Ryoku Jikuzono. He's a character I made when I was 12 in the height of my Anne Rice/Hot Topic goth phase, recently resurrected from the (un)dead as I get back in touch with myself and why I draw.
Oh my gosh, I just realized you have been posting aftg art ๐
I haven't read, but my wife LOVES that series
good looking guy you've drawn there ๐๐
people are always a decent percentage hotter when banged up/bloody
I don't make the rules
Not my thing but if you want to do it, DO IT
it's your page! your art! draw for you โค๏ธ
