Yeah! Same for me. Social media is stressing me out, but also wanna keep being around even if it's a digital space.

It's rough! Most people I know in real life are very busy, so I barely even see anyone ever, so social media is the only way I can interact with some people.

I wish I could quit social media, but if I do I will be completely alone.

Thank you so much! ❤️ Been perfecting my lineart for years and I'm now pretty happy with where I have ended up. Still striving for improvement and experiment with styles.

I have been using Tumblr all this time, but it's kind of ehhh. Good for fandoms, not good for original content.

Thank you for the share! ✨💕✨

Idk I guess it's my way to channel my anxiety from one (that my art is not good enough) to another with a positive twist.

Hehe, thank you, Chris! 😊

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you! I rarely remember where I drew my art, but I remember vividly doodling this at countryside on top of tilled grain tower under birch trees.

Thank you so much! 💕 References and practice for wings and tbh roses are the only flowers I can draw from memory.

Thank you so much! ♥️

Thank you! ♥️ I did abandon my OCs from 2013-2023, so I pretty much came back to them with new skill set, style and life experience. During those 10 years, I got too invested in few fandoms and comics.

One way I cope with the fact that the art of Drake not going numbers most of the time is because he's unappealing, which probably is a win, because he's green-ish, spiky, tentacly, froggy, not a handsome monster boy and not a true creature either.

QRP with your art before covid vs now

Well, the very first Drake I drew was in 2006, so technically he hasn't changed much, only a ton of tweaking over the years.

Thank you! 💙 I think I pulled my inspiration from Crysis, but I'm not 100% sure, because I started that art early 2010s, so it's hard to remember.

I'm so glad you like it, Niv! ✨💛✨

Thank you, Efaru! ♥️ Wanted to do something a bit different from my usual style.

Thank you, Chris! ♥️

Thank you, Doshi! 🖤 I used CSP assets and meshed them together.

Thank you so much, Laura! 💙

A ton of progress in a few years and I love how consistent and more detailed he gets with each new art you do.

I just can't deal with the idea of always being stuck doing support or tank when all I wanna do is dps. That's the same issue I had with OW. Even if I do absolutely the best in any role, I can't carry the game, because it's so dependent on everyone playing their absolute best.

Plus, the artist in question gets on average 150 likes on original characters with 3k following. I would get if they did a lot and they vented, but they don't do anything, but sit and hope for people just interact with them.

Yeah! Even commenting simple: "That's amazing!" Can be nice.

My pet peeve is when people saying bsky is dying, but if I check their profile they barely repost, barely reply and only reply is artshare, but never comments other people art. You cannot for real expect a lot traffic if you don't do your own fair share, but expect others to do it.

Digital art of a monstrous but humanoid alien (species: Nan-Te'gah). The alien has their head tilted down and glances up menacingly. They have a crude bone-like structure on their face, with strangely aesthetic swirls and tips. They have ears too, which are more like thick appendages attached to the head. Their skin color is a light low saturated green with red scattered stripes. The eye is cerulean blue. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Illustration of a Nan-Te'gah, an alien species, that shows the head in side view. The alien has four larger and two smaller appendages on their head, three on each side. Text on page: Head appendages are made of cartilage and muscle. Elongated tympanic membranes run along each of the four larger appendages and serve as sensory organs. Upper appendages: Specialized for detecting airborne vibrations and pressure changes. Lower appendages: Specialized for detecting underwater vibrations and movements. The appendages are also used to convey emotions by moving them into different positions. Active movement affects the membranes. While most self-generated disturbances can be ignored, the sensitivity of the membranes is dampened by active movement. Thus, increased focus or fear makes them eerily still. Nictitating membrane (third eyelid) can be drawn across the eye for protection, particularly when underwater. Outer teeth are part of the exoskeleton that covers the face. Lips close behind the outer teeth. The actual teeth are located inside the mouth, with pointed incisors and flatter molars. Canines are not prominent and look like incisors. Art by Kathaja Krim.

Digital sketches of a flying creature, called Maardru, with its rider, a Nan-Te'gah. The first sketch shows both the creature and its rider while flying. The second sketch shows a close-up of the rider in front view while they spread their own wings and lift off the creature's back. The third sketch shows the creature's head and the rider next to it, touching its snout affectionately. Art by Kathaja Krim.

It's spooky season, time to share some stuff!

I'll start with my Nan-Te'gah species. Most of them live on a dying planet. They can fly short distances and have mounts that can fly too. Someone once called them "alien fairies" and I love that.
