have you considered that perhaps she's normal horse height and wander is just a manlet

just a part of that. im delulu in that i wish people would care for other human beings regardless of what they call themselves

who were not looking for the themes of marginalization proper but for a few key buzzwords and actively backed up media with conservative undertones because it was vocally [insert your favorite minority here]. it's that hypocritical aspect and how its legitimately dangerous that i hate on, money is

myself i definitely could sell my stuff that way but i do not because it's both limiting and legitimately dangerous. and it helps no one. having to doxx your entire life issues just so people care sucks and lets be real a lot of people do eat that up, ive gotten so many experiences online of folk

i was talking less about the money side of things and more about how to sell themselves on social media so many people are forced to play all the minority cards they get - i don't blame them but i do blame the people for whom it works. it's at best superficial and at worst... well i can speak for

I have the perhaps delusional wish that progressives would stop seeing people based on arbitrary labels and started appreciating art for reasons beyond woke points. They're as moralistic as conservatives just more annoying about it as this point

Ironically I've always found it dehumanizing. Reducing someone to nitpicked traits of theirs... And it comes hand in hand with forcing vulnerable people to sell themselves as tokens

cats are delightful to draw because they're so supple. I'd advise on taking in mind how far their spines can go, and the unique anatomy of their toes. they are slinkies on high heels

Haven't used a dip pen in years. Feeling pretty rusty. Its a challenging medium - but the line art quality you get is so incredibly good

Hello :D They are from a comic called The Mercenary, which is entirely painted in this style. What you're seeing above is a detail from a single panel - here's what full pages look like. If you like the designs I can't recommend the comic enough, endless detailed scenes featuring these guys! ๐Ÿฒ

I am always thinking about Segrelle's dragons. This is the peak of dragon designs in my mind. Everything else is inferior

I'm not sure I quite get what an art swiftie could mean, I barely know what a swiftie is

speaking as someone who feels bad fast when i do too much of the same thing

I know why it happens, but that doesn't make the pill less bitter to swallow

Incredibly correct :(

the one and best way to get any positive attention online is to do the same thing over and over. even for non pro endeavors like getting a following or getting selected for group organized projects, so many people don't give a shit for varied portfolios

home by the rotting sea is deindexed & now in breach of the updated guidelines of itch, not because it's porn (though my porn comics are flagged also), but because the story explores sexual assault. you should care about porn as well, of course, but we intuitively get the flagrant wrongness of this

getting told to die violently is the daily life for the trans people, gay people, and sex workers their "work" is affecting, the difference is that the average current government agrees with that violence. i have no sympathy

failing to get hired by companies for years is making me feel terrible about my artwork :(

ironic because i dislike commercial stuff in general, and i should be proud i'm not commercial, but...i want to work on movies and stuff so very bad

Lovely to see the project coming along!
Also, thank you for writing cool ladies. Much too rare in the genre usually :)

a focus on showing texture and volume with a few strokes only.
3-flats and muted colors with a love for browns and greens. not aiming for realism in the colors but using colors you'd find in nature

i also find your characters distinctive. you like small eyes and specific mouth shapes
