Trying out some vector illustration since it's been like forever.

The Forest of the Lovers

(Inspired by the fact that apart from one person, everyone I hang around the most, be it family or friends, is either married or engaged, and it gets to me when I'm feeling down.)

I've recently been obsessing over Regis again, so you get to see some Regis art.
(I tried a new way to shade and my wrist hated it.)

If you see this, post a vampire!

Too hot to draw traditionally, so started making character sheets. Here's Beata!

I never get to make character sheets of Beata and Björn, I always just end up doing armour research.

A fairly quick Ursa. Been trying to continue my comic, and she has quickly become one of my favourite characters.

Was sketching random poses and the light in this one's reference called for a background.

And yes, I drew too many petals on those violets, and I really have to get better at drawing wheelchairs. Sorry for that. :'^)

Happy Pride Month for every LGBTQIA+ peep out there! Times are tough, but we are NOT alone!🌈✨️

Went to library to sketch some basic plants from a plant book. (I had a heavy bag, and could not be arsed to go to the ACTUAL nature with it.) #drawing #art #sketching #luonnos #taide

Ei olla liian ylpeitä kerjäämään.

Went for a drawing walk today. Saw seagulls, two eurasian oystercatchers, and lots of flying bugs. #drawing #trees #piirros #taide #art #sketching #luonto #luontokävely

Taiken arvovalinta juhlistaa tekoäly"taiteilijaa" oikean taiteen ja luovuuden sijasta. Kulttuurin tukia leikataan, mutta tällaiseen kyllä löytyy rahaa. Generoijan dian mielipiteet eivät ole mitenkään yllättäviä, mutta Taiken tällaiselle roskalle antama näkyvyys on häpeällistä.

Banner I made for my LinkedIn account so it might look a bit more interesting(?).

These are super cool, and some of them make me wonder how the Shrike from Hyperion cantos would look like drawn by you. ✨️

Pois puhelimelta ja verhot kiinni sit! 💀

Busy having gay thoughts, even though I swore I was taking a mental health break from dating apps. (I have a thing about sun and moon. And elves.) #digitalart #gay #sun #moon #sunandmoon

Coming out / "Guess what, I've been a trans guy all this time!"

Hi, fellow trans ppl! I have been depressed over the latest political idiocies. So I'm coming outta closet, publicly. Because fuck transphobes. #trans #art #transman #comics

(Thanks for @tikattu.bsky.social for help with this stuff!)

Oh, btw. Here's my book account. I write about some books I read, and make some recommendations. Mostly in Finnish, but occationally in English as well. If you're into books, I'd love to chat about books on that account. :^)

Käykää allekirjoittamassa vanhusten, vammaisten ja kaikkien sosiaalihuoltoa tarvitsevien puolesta!

Oh, and btw, here are the main characters of the comic I'm working on (slowly), and trying to get funding for.

I was trying to draw better pictures of them, but I ended up doing armor and sword research, so here's an older picture. 🥲

From last year, how ever still relevant every day. As a person on autism spectrum, I enjoy structured days, and the idea of being a freelancer and having changing schedule terrifies me. However, I am also yet to find work as an employee, and it's starting to affect on how I see myself as an artist.
