I live in complete poverty and disability. Trying to make art to sell as prints as I am not getting commissions the way I used to. I am disabled and diabetic, immunocompromised from recent surgery, and I live in a traditional filipino house partially destroyed by storms and termites. I work 3 jobs, but they are all very unstable. Please please please, if you've ever derived joy from my art or insight from my posts or book recs, if you could pick up a print, send a tip, or subscribe to my patreon where I have 400+ exclusive drawings / early access, it would help keep me alive, in the most literal sense. I have been given a second chance at life, and I would like to keep living. Thank you so much

Hello everyone. I am the sole caretaker of my family, the only one who works. I have nerve damage on 1/4th of my face and 80% of my neck that limits movement somewhat. This is due to surgery and was exacerbated by diabetes neuropathy. Would absolutely love help with my maintenance medicine and help care for my mama, who is completely unable to move independently because of a brain injury resulting from sepsis. She has an ECG scheduled tomorrow, and I am hoping for any assistance from anyone who is blessed with a generous heart and disposable income 🥹

Cold southern gales blasting across Slope Point - located on the southernmost tip of New Zealand’s South Island - has given rise to this unique natural phenomenon: the trees here, being persistently battered by powerful winds coming in from the open ocean, have a permanently wind-swept appearance to them.

I thought the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts, her pockets full of lichens and seeds. I slept as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees. All night I heard the small kingdoms breathing around me, the insects, and the birds who do their work in the darkness. All night I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling with a luminous doom. By morning I had vanished at least a dozen times into something better.

sanctus-ingenium

end of the unicorn progress.. i discovered that restarting the recording when i started on lineart didn’t make a whole new video, it actually included all the stuff i recorded from the very beginning (cutting out the hours of tedious horse jaw & teeth referencing).

i’m going to put a flashing images warning on this because i did not realise that my workflow of turning my thumbnail sketch layer on and off like that would end up looking so jarring when recorded & sped up

this was a drawing that i never had any real vision for, as you can tell from all the tangents and different effects i tried throughout the whole process. i didn’t know what it was going to look like, what colours i would use, or what was going to end up in the bg. i had to stop myself from going on and on adding more and more effects because the one sort of inspiration i had was old sci-fi novel covers from the 60s and 70s, paintings of alien worlds with those big empty gradient skies in the bg, and i felt that going on and throwing more details in would take away from that
