Ash Something Art - 2025 Restructuring and Updates!

Important news, party people! Before anything else:

If you love what I do and want to actually see more, I need to make my art actually support me, instead of living by the skin of my teeth, so I need YOU to either: SEND ME A COMMISSION REQUEST or GO SUBSCRIBE TO MY VIP FUNPASS THROUGH MY WEBSITE And for the update:

Your favorite Art Clown is flipping the whole fucking table to make everything more streamlined this month, so I can stop falling behind on shit and stop putting focus into time-sinks that have no payoff. I'm scrapping Facebook and Instagram I'm closing my Redbubble shop I'm deleting DeviantArt I'm adding a permanent hiatus to my Twitch/Streaming I'm scrapping Reddit I'm removing myself from every platform that does not serve ME as an artist, and instead uses my art and IP as a content cash-cow for their bullshit AI algorithms. These changes will be completed by the end of the month, along with a massive revamp on my website. In the meantime, if you follow me here on tumblr, this is one of THREE social media type accounts I am keeping. The other two are: The Ash Something Art Bluesky (as well as their new Flashes app) The Ash Something's Art Lovers Discord Server While I am keeping my Facebook open, I'm deleting the Ash Something Art official page, and making the profile I use for business there completely private, and likely no longer posting new art there.

ALRIGHT PARTY PEOPLE! LET'S GOOOOO!

Got my rent paid finally, and then I took a couple days to recoup. I’m back working on comms over the next few days, but MEANWHILE-

I need to start planning for next month to make SURE this issue doesn't repeat itself!

So I’m running a legit flash sale for the first time in months!

LET'S GET YOUR ART AND DESIGN PROJECTS ROLLING!

The deets:

These pieces can be digital or traditional art in any of my styles, line art to full rendered or in one of my fine art styles. I do character design, illustration, concept design, graphic design,technical drawings, and pretty much anything else you may want.

These sketch requests can be anything you want with the only limits being that it’s $10 per subject/figure and $10 for backgrounds- and that I will only spend around half an hour on each one. The resulting work will be done in procreate in my pencil sketching style.

Let's do a little throwback post yeah?

LIMBO

Re-imagined Major Arcana Tarot card #16 - The Tower Commissioned by @JoshAlthina (Insta) Art by Me (@ashsomethingart This art was done as a way to promote Joshua's 2018 album Limbo The piece was completed on 2/5/22 after around a year of working on it back and forth, revising and doing a bunch of initial drafts to get it RIGHT where we wanted it. Joshua's original inspiration for the commission was the Dragon Age Inquisition character cards, which I did use as a reference to a degree, but I wanted to give my own style to the resulting piece. The concept was to re-imagine the tarot card The Tower, and put the focus on the person- the king- who was losing everything, while showing him stuck in that point between having everything, and losing it all.

This artwork is ©Ash Something Art and Joshua Althina, 2022 Ash Something Art is anti-AI and does not use AI in any of their art.

I've been a bit MIA on here, but I've been stupidly busy doing planning work on a bunch of projects. A lot coming soon! In the meantime here's a new artwork I was commissioned to do! Nyx, Goddess of the Night Black and Grey, realism style tattoo design for Nikki Stewart featuring the goddess Nyx, as Nikki sees her!

This piece took me around 10 hours in Procreate, and I'll be dropping a timelapse of it later today! I'll also have prints of it available going live on my Redbubble in awhile. I'll create another post when I have that ready!
