Radience

additional versions + art notes under the cut!

hello this took me almost 12 hours so im writing something about it. im, like, really proud of this! i feel like im finding a lining/rendering style i really like and even if it took way too long it was worth it.

this is Zesty (short for Zaest’ya), my tiefling bard from a campaign that ended last year. this piece is me writing the end for a character that meant the world to me </3 the story didn’t end at us being at super-high level, so my GM let us to write how we imagined our ending

im planning to draw something specific about the first post-game so i won’t go too much in detail, but eventually Zesty gets invited to teach at an Academy for young talents, where she conducts studies in search recognition from Shelyn, pathfinder Goddess of Arts

the bird in the piece is, in fact, a symbol of Shelyn! i had never drawn a bird (and i think you can tell) but again, pretty proud of how it came out

stay tuned for more stuff like this, and i hope you like it!

to many years more 🥂

hiding this under read more because i wanted to say a few words about this year

2023 has been a real turning point for me for one specific reason: i finally got my adhd evaluation and diagnosis. i got medication for it but we’re still tweaking it, so im not feeling particularly more.. productive, yet. i am, however, broker than i was before, and even if it was something i wanted to do for at least 4 years, having the confirmation im adhd is not enough to make me feel better about it, as you might guess. so yeah you could say i am going through it atm.

but

flipping through my art to make this and looking back i am.. really, really proud of myself. fuck yeah dude, look how far i made it. im literally so satisfied with every single piece ive included here, for very different reasons! and yeah im adhd so my style has never been consistent and i keep forgetting how to do stuff but i dont care anymore!!!! look at all the cool stuff i did!!

so, cool year overall

if you want to tip me, my ko-fi’s open (you can also commission me over there)
