The Dirges fanart is making rounds again which is funny because my cowboy fixation has returned due to my partner showing me the Supernatural episode with the cowboys, so we’re all in this Wild West boat together

Comparing old art with new art again.

Hold on. HOLD ON. Give me a MINUTE to RECOVER.

Hermit/traffic fans will NEVER recover from the events of today

Hello, anon moot from X here

did you leave the life series fandom? You dont do fanart anymore and I miss it :( or are you just busy? dont mean to bother just saw your account recently and wondered what happened

NO !! I’m definitely still very much into life series, I’ve just been a quiet viewer for a bit </3

All of my art powers have been turned to art school and professional work in the last year. Any time I do free-time-art it’s been ocs because I started fixating on them HARD and want to develop a webcomic in the near future 👍

I will be doing a big art event for charity in the following month that I’ll be posting here !! It’ll be commission based for anyone interested—would LOVE to do life series commissions for that (wink wink)

Yes I want to get back into life series/hermitcraft art, I just need to find free time and also break the bad habit of limiting myself creatively that art school has DEFINITELY caused.. I miss my “guy who draws Jimmy a lot” title

I know y’all come here for art but today I tried teaching myself music production and this was the outcome

Going for western?? movie soundtrack?? (I don’t know what I’m doing??)

hi thank you very much for liking dirges it made me so so incredibly happy and your art is gorgeous and i hope you like the other stories when they come out too also you're a delight thank you for being on the interwebs and sharing arts and stuff

Anon?? Anon. Do you know how much I appreciate this. I will cry actually /pos

Because of you, I’m sharing this Dirges sketch page I was too embarrassed to share before because sharing art is scary:

I found my earliest Jimmy Solidarity fanart and I’m laughing hysterically at the difference. I can confidently say I’ve improved.

Something I love about doing art is the detail. One time someone told me to stop being detail focused JUST so I could actually finish a project.

So here's a big ramble about details in my own art that make me smile:

Textures: :)))) I love going crazy on textures because when I zoom in later on I go “wow I forgot I put that there” and it’s silly and fun.

Story telling: I love seeing how much of a story I can tell in just one drawing, so I just cram in a bunch of references and details.

I was just talking to some other artists the other day about how fun obscure details are in art, and thought I'd blab about it on here. Ok that's all, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
