Galaxy Goddess, a redraw of a piece from… 2020, I believe. (Original under the cut)
I had such a hard time with the galaxy! I think I lost my agalaxy drawing mojo :’)

Lighting Wizardry: A Quick Tutorial🧙🔮 Your model today:Eisenhorn (and sorry for my terrible English
Another finished comm! A lovely little pink fairy ^^
The wings were a bit of a challenge to me, to make them look so bright and glow-y. But I'm really happy how they came out, I love them.
So I recently read @peggyao3 's Frankenstein fic, Monsters Dream of Organic Sheep , and I loved it so much I had to draw the lovely protagonist gal, Theo!
If you love cyberpunk aesthetics and themes, and Frankenstein (the newest movie or even the original book) you're going to love this fic! It has it all, romance, philosophy, and even it's own fair share of action scenes. It does have a couple of spicy scenes too, so thread with caution if that's not your jam.
(Let’s hope Tumblr doesn’t freak out about this one)
Another effort to shake out the artblock, some sketches of my dancer AU Nara
Tbh I’m mostly being self indulgent about her body type, I love me a buff lady~
This was supposed to be a quick sketch to shake off the artblock, but I ended up spending 8 hours on it. Oh well, at least she looks fire!

HEY ARTISTS!
Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:
OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–
There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Comission!
A friend is doing a Kingdom Hearts inspired TTRPG campaing, with their characters coming from different existing universes. This is Urayama, and they come from the Bleach realm.
This was quite the interesting comm to work on, I haven’t seen Bleach in ages so it was a bit of a challenge in a good way!
I made a detailed rock painting guide (Includes some rendering basics too!)

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.
Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!
Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!
Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!
I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.
Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.
While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.
An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!
Want to learn even more about the math-y stuff? It has great film visuals! A video from FilmmakerIQ: You need some basic knowledge of RGB color models, understanding of values/luma, and at least a tenuous understanding of Algebraic formulas.

Franny, my Frankenstein inspired OC.
I recently saw the new Guillermo del Toro Frankenstein movie, and it reminded me of her. She's been with me for many years, this piece in particular is a redraw of a drawing that goes aaaaall the way back to 2016! I've drawn her several other times since then, but it was due time she got a new iteration.
For the other versions, check under the cut.
This wasn’t meant to be this involved, but I ended up shading the whole thing!
