It’s with a heavy heart that I announce:

I’ve lost a Pokémon for the first time in a Nuzlocke.

May a flight of Gyarados intimidate thee to thy rest, Splash 🪽

Your sacrifice was not in vain - you provided my team the opportunity to defeat my rival in Azalea Town 😭❤️

I’m a liiiittle bit concerned about how sturdy the “lock” is, when the cons are connected to the Switch, but I’m sure it was put through testing.

(Although this is the same company who brought us new and improved stick drift. We’ll see)

It finally happened!!!

I’ve honestly been hearing rumours about the development of a sequel to the switch since 2017, so it was tough trying to get invested in the latest rumours - but it’s all true!

Love the top USB C port, love the larger joycons, love the new connection mechanic ❤️

The Mossling is about to shovel but won’t be happy about it!

It’s even better when the question is actually answered in the video itself 👨‍🍳💋👌

Hi hi #PortfolioDay! 👋
I’m Mihali - a freelance fantasy illustrator.

Portrait and scene commissions are my usual, but I’m open to doing other illustrations if you have something different in mind✨

YouTube video by ItsMihali FIRST Art Update | My Plans for the Year!

Just posted my first art update video! 🥳

I’ve been wanting to do these for a while, so getting this one done and posted is really big for me 😭

Please check it out if you’re interested in hearing about what I have planned for the year:

Super clean lines! 👏👏👏

Never played the game myself, but I appreciate the quality of your drawing 🤩

Very Warhammer 40k. I like this a lot.

I always have so much respect for anyone who puts in the time to fill in the eclectic details in busy machinery like this 😍

I love the dedication to complex patterns! 😍

I can never commit… my patience and discipline need work 😅

"The Backroom" #noAI #conceptart #digitalart #fantasyart Love for libraries and bookstores...

Everybody knows that when one sits next to a piano, one must raise one’s ring finger accordingly.

Indubitably. 🧐🎩☕️

I’m a simple man. I see owl, I like the post. 🧐

A big f$&king castle, graphite on paper

New castle dropped

A well balanced meal 🍽️

Love the eclectic look 🫶

Love the distortion ❤️

Conservatory.

The colours!!! ✨😍✨

That’s great to hear!
Burnout is a jerk, so it’s important to preserve the love of the craft ✨

Working on something that requires a lot of owl feathers - feels similar to material studies ☺️

Especially when it’s 25+ years after the first was released.

Modern sequels (looking at you, Beetlejuice, Gladiator, Bridget Jones, Hocus Pocus, and others) just make me feel tired. It’s such transparent greed at this point 😥

It’s tough, because you’re competing with teams of comic/visual novel/graphic novel illustrators who work on each issue as a group.

It sets the bar really high.

You can do it though, as long as you give yourself whatever rest you need, when you can 🙌

It’s a marathon, not a sprint 💪

Ooh! The darker feather textures are fun! 😍

Drawing pun? I approve 👏

On a different note: I love how heavy the building feels in the image ✨

👏👏👏
A lot of people meme on New Year’s resolutions, but actionable goals like this can be really helpful.

As long as you don’t do the whole “I’m going to do extensive studies every single day of this year!!”

The burn out isn’t fun…

The reflections/highlights!!! 😍

Lady knight ✧

I just noticed the water as well! So good 👏👏👏

Ooooooooh!!! The green translucent shadow!!!

I want to try something like this 😍
