I updated my carrd.

You can use any of my art however you'd like as long as it's with credit and not for profit. If you commission me, that last part doesn't apply - use your art that you bought however you'd like, though I'd still appreciate credit.

My digital paintings are typically $150USD - this may change depending on request. I accept pay via paypal. You can contact me via email at [email protected].

I am still accepting verification you've paid for Palestinian or Sudanese charities as payment, though I'd appreciate a tip if possible in those instances. The world is quickly getting very expensive.

didn't do much of anything after work today but wanted to share the wips i did start on, the stuff that had just been sketches but wanted to add some color to now that i have so many wips that're closer to being done

the shi siblings in their mortal days, qingxuan fanning her brother after a long day of training and cultivating and probably talking his ear off about all the things she did that day. i think it's a cute detail that she seemed to cook for him as a kid, considering that one point where she was worried he missed mealtime and decided to box up dinner and trek up the mountain to give it to him.

and then wu ming, back when he first started to get comfortable in mt tonglu. that one half-sized xie lian statue, dopey-faced and made with clearly unskilled hands... i like to think that when hua cheng made a hua cheng for EVERY xie lian statue, that statue was given a perfectly regular-looking wu ming, earnestly working his hardest on sculpting his first xie lian. i wanted to draw what i think he woulda been like then, full of focus and with earnest but unskilled hands

The third son was an ugly duckling.

His family didn't even bother giving him a name.

have a bunch of wips

i wish i could lock myself in my house and not worry about work n just draw and write all i want like a renaissance artist

[cappucosmic]

was talking to others about how I like to imagine he xuan's ghost-eating works considering

it's established that eating ghosts essentially makes them your slave instead of outright killing them (and that's how xie lian fights the reverend of empty words while ming yi is chilling with hua cheng and 'xie lian'/shi qingxuan)

he xuan begs xie lian to exorcise him of all the ghosts haunting him in a single moment of non-acting after getting poisoned by his food that was probably extra messed with by hua cheng

and tbh i really do like to imagine that the poor man is basically fucking haunted 24/7 by a billion ghosts just bothering the fuck out of him inside his head at any given time, like basically like having a twitch chat running all day every day

and i gotta draw that shit some time. i really do. just gotta draw this poor mfer just going about his day like he's IRL streaming and 1/3rd of the screen is just nonstop this shit:

[cappucosmic]

finally got around to making a sketch of it LMAO

you know how often this shit comes up in my convos to my friend about it? we talk about beefleaf so often and every time it ends up going to 'what's the live chat reaction to this'

hi! i just want to say you have such a genuinely wonderful style of art and every time i see a new piece im in awe! there's such a flow to your art that really captures movement... it makes me think of van gogh but its also very unique to you! the faces you draw have such life to them - i follow you for asoiaf but truly each piece is so wonderful that while i don't always know the characters, i'm so invested in looking at them. I saw you post recently about repainting, how do you approach a repaint? is it entirely separate or do you work on the existing file? do you have a specific goal in mind or simply to refine?

thank you for posting your art!

Thank you for the message!! Thank you :))))))

For your question, I take the original file (and if I don't have the .sai file anymore I just get the biggest file I have, either on my computer or online) and paint directly over it. Typically I like the painting itself but just notice stuff I find lacking - anatomy issues, lighting issues, composition issues. A lot of older paintings are also when I had a shittier brush so I also like adding more clear brushstrokes using my newer brush, too.

Sometimes I still have the old references to go back to and build from to make the art better, sometimes the .sai file was already cropped and saved over so I don't even have references anymore (if I have the .sai file anymore at all), so sometimes I find new references and end up rebuilding it a bunch.

Basically the reason why I do it is because I tend to still like the idea that was the basis of the art, but when I look back on it as I improve, I go 'oh, that looks awful, I could do so much better now.' I think that other people with other styles would probably recreate it from the ground up, but since I work fully on one layer and basically sculpt the piece, it's much easier for me to just paint on top and move things around as I go.

I got the idea from when I was first learning to digitally paint; a lot of youtubers that teach will draw right over their students' art to show what improvements can be made.

Here's some side-by-side examples so you can see. Typically the base of the painting is the same, it's more that I add details, change the lighting, fix shadows, make anatomical changes, stuff like that:
