Thanks! :)

Line, color, shadow. A girl with pink hair in a pinafore dress walking towards viewer. Background is geometric. A strong contrast in the colors.

I swear this start of the year has just been in and out of not feeling well. This daily practice was more like, work on it a bit over three days (though it started with the goal of my daily stuff haha). Been on a geometric/art deco kick.

Line, color, highlight, shadow. Portrait of a woman with glasses, pointing at the viewer. She has a soft smile and maroon hair.

For today's daily practice, felt like doing a self-portrait.

Line, color, shadow, highlight. A young woman is standing with one arm across her torso gripping the other arm. She's wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

Oof, been bad about daily practice the past few days. But here's one to get back in the swing. "Sunny."

Line, color, shadow. A dark skinned woman stands holding a bottle of wine. She's wearing a party dress.

Some daily practice. "All wine" in celebration of the coming new year, and representing the bubbly we had earlier tonight, haha!

Line, color, shadow, highlight. A woman is standing with her back turned to viewer, she is turned slightly, looking back over her shoulder. She has dark skin and blue hair, and is wearing a yellow skirt and heels and a grey blouse. The shadows are a shade of purple, and it has a dusky feel to it.

Back to some daily practice. "Turn Back." Was thinking a bit like "what if the Orpheus myth, but swap Orpheus and Eurydice, and make it modern." But also Hadestown exists, and I think I like the aesthetics of it better haha

And instead of just some filler lyrics and chords, and maybe the first hints of a melody...I have the structure and the melody pretty locked, as well as a bridge and also refined the lyrics and wrote the piano part and...

Well, I still want to work on it more. So maybe I'll record something tonight

I was supposed to start back on daily art practice today after some holiday stuff...but then I had this song idea. And usually I get the idea out of my head and written down and I can let it sit. But for whatever reason today I was just...go go go. So now I've worked out most of it

Line, color, shadow, and highlight. Violet-skinned witch with pink hair. One hand is raised and she's looking sternly at the viewer.

Been busy with holiday stuff, so "daily practice" became stretched across a few days, haha. "Elianna the Witch."

Young woman with glasses, dressed casually. Line and color and shadow and highlight.

Today's daily practice. A bit short on time, so a more simple one. "Studious."

Idk who tf would say this without being an actual clown. Everyone uses reference. Sometimes the reference is in your memory BUT ITS STILL A REFERENCE.

Tbf cats exist in a superposition at all times, so you can only know what a cat looks like when you observe it and collapse the wavefunction into something real

But like, you can't swindle people into giving you lots of money for a poorly functioning generalist "fix everything" tool without getting free labor. Honestly, you can't realistically do it long term even with free labor, but they're in it for the short term

What they mean is "it's not profitable," because there are absolutely ways to train AI on things that are paid for and appropriate...you just end up with specialized tools that perform limited functions well, which is the primary way AI was used *before* generative models (and is a good thing!)

A young woman in a light green dress striking a pose at the end of a dance twirl. Stars twinkle in an ambiguous background. Line and color.

Today's daily practice started yesterday but got interrupted, so I did a bit more rendering to make up for that, using actual color choices for highlight and shadow rather than a simple soft light layer. "Dancing by starlight"

I think this misses the point. I'd say AI bros *do* have artistic whimsy (bc everyone does), but they've stamped it down so much that it's become something spiteful and destructive. Their impulses come from the same root, but have been perverted by society's devaluing of art and artists

Definitely this. I know I'll say "sketch" when I don't have another word on hand to call something. Sorta like default "if it doesn't fit into any other category"

A red-haired woman clasping her hands while wearing a dress and loose corset in shades of green. Her eyes are sparkling and she has a slightly nervous expression. Line art, color, shadow, and highlight.

Today's daily practice! "Bright Eyes"
#art #digitalart #illustration

Line art, color, shadow, and highlight. A woman with a bit of a punk aesthetic. Maroon shirt showing her midriff, dark blue leggings, and lavender hair.

Today's daily practice. "Punk" for lack of a better name haha. #art #digitalart #illustration

Yeah, folks often seem to feel like it's some sort of lofty thing. But style is just "the bits and bobs you tend to do." Some of it's mechanics of your body, some of it's what you like, and if you've been doing art long enough, some of it might even be intentional!

It's really easy to bemoan something being derivative, but I really think more folks should stop worrying over it. Derivative is neutral. There are great things that are derivative, and also poor things. So much depends on the whole that no one thing will make or break it.

Dark-skinned woman running towards the viewer. She's wearing armor and has feathered wings. Linework, color, shadow, and highlight. The background of clouds is painted.

Daily practice, plus I felt like rendering a bit of background. I call it, "The Charge." #art #digitalart #illustration

7-11 is definitely the 2-5 of 24/7

Female-coded alien flying through the air. She has a mantle and tentacles, and is rendered in shades of purple and pink. Line art with color, shadow, and highlight.

Today's daily practice started last night, but I'm almost got my sleep schedule sorta back to normal. I'm calling this alien "Bullia." #art #digitalart #illustration #alien

Line, shadow, and color sketch of a woman walking towards the viewer. She's wearing a brown dress, purple jacket, and a red hat, and has green hair. Her face has an aggressive expression and she has a full figure.

Not been feeling well, but I managed to do a quick one for some daily practice. Let's see if I can't get my days and nights back in order lol #art #digitalart #illustration

YouTube video by Natahlia Lysse Zaring Tahlia - Shadow of My Heart (animated music video)

Well, it's sort the "day after" when it comes to my sleep schedule, haha

Video is done and uploaded! Hopefully you like it!

A young woman with a disaffected expression. She has dark blue hair, pale skin, and is wearing a cropped sweater top and white jeans, giving her a somewhat goth aesthetic. Linework, flats, and shadows.

Daily practice. My sleep schedule has been getting offset, lol #art #digitalart #illustration

Dark-skinned woman reclining on a sofa and listening to music. The text "Shadow of my Heart" is displayed above her.

Yesterday and today I've been getting together the assets for the next song I'm going to post on my youtube channel. Here's a preview of the thumbnail! Should be up tomorrow, or the day after at the latest.

...this is just the plot of Strange World. Just because no one saw it doesn't mean you can recycle a script like that...
