I have a question for other artists here. How do people paint so fast?! It takes me anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months to finish a single piece. I genuinely don't understand how some creators manage to post a brand new finished artwork every single day.It makes me feel like there is something wrong with me, or like I'm moving at a snail's pace. Does anyone else struggle with this? How long does it usually take you to finish a detailed piece?

Re-uploading one of my most monumental traditional pieces. These are the Fëanorians ✨

To be honest, this was my very first time painting with gouache, and it's huge (A3 size). Looking back, selling this massive original piece for just $8 was a massive mistake on my part, but it taught me a lot about valuing my art.

Fun/crazy fact about me: I got so bored at one point that I actually learned Tengwar. Now I use Elvish script to sign my paintings and write down secret thoughts in my sketchbooks. It looks beautiful, and honestly, almost no one can read it anyway!

The price of blood and an even number of lilies.

Thirty coins hidden in his hands, and a funeral bouquet for the Maid of Orléans. I wanted to pack this portrait of Bishop Cauchon with heavy historical symbolism. Definitely one of my absolute best works so far.

Gouache, A5. 🥀✨

My current obsession. Finally making progress on this huge Astarion cross-stitch piece! Can't believe I managed to make a working pattern out of this portrait. Still a long way to go, but I'm so proud of it 🧵

Hey everyone, sad news. My original account got blocked out of nowhere (likely due to a VPN glitch), and it hasn't been restored yet. I'm honestly so heartbroken, but I decided to create this new account for now. Sharing my most popular artwork here to rebuild my page. Thank you so much for your support!
