I think I’ll do some exploration of what my new character’s everyday life was like during his ~500 years of solitude in the forest.

Quick illustration of my new DnD character. The previous one finally died after being revived twice.

Gonna try going with a more stylized, lineart heavy art style like this from now on. It’s quicker and feels more satisfying for me.

Happy pride month to all LGBTQ+ folk around the world! 🏳️‍🌈

Times are tough as hell right now but keep being yourself and proudly so!

(But also pls be safe.)

Did the artist figure anti-AI trend thingy (probably way too late).

No timelapse for this one cause it would be a mess.

Quick (2,5 hours, I’m slow af) Totoro background painting study + brush testing.

I’ve been feeling tense when trying to draw people recently and this helped chill out a bit. I also like how it turned out.

Back from the dead with LadyDevimon!

I’ll start practicing female anatomy because I realised I drew 1 female character in the past ~6 years.

This turned into a 20 hour painting, but I’ll try to pump out quicker sketches from now on.

At first, I wanted to do a more dynamic pose but then went with one inspired by classical statues.

The specific statue I used as a reference is Ferdinando Adreini’s Nymph.

New profile pic

Probably the closest thing to a self-portrait I will ever make

Timelapse with a short face reveal ⏱️⬇️

Finally finished the human version of Guk, the “goblin” gunslinger. 🔫

Planned to be a quick illustration, turned into a 20 hour piece 😬

WIP of my character Guk Zuggag, goblin gunslinger.

New art cause he died last session and Reincarnate turned him into a human 😢

Another DnD character.

Javi Talandro, half-orc way of mercy monk, friend of the earlier phantom rogue I drew.

Gave him a coat inspired by traditional Hungarian coats called “szűr” cause it looks cool.

Timelapse ⏱️⬇️

WIP of another new DnD character. Will probably post on Wednesday.

Portrait of Old Piscator

Wanted to try something new (again). A lil study+stylization+brush testing combo.

Should really pin down a style or two and work in those to make my output more consistent.

Happy new year!

This might be silly, but huge thank you to everyone following me and interacting with me! I'm finally starting to feel like I'm getting back into having fun drawing stuff, which I haven't felt for 5-6 years, so thank you for showing interest in my stuff! I hope that by the end of next year, I'll be able to make stuff consistently enough to maybe work on commissions or have a Patreon worth subscribing to or something alike. Happy new year!

A little something.

I only picked digital art back up on may, so I can't do a month by month. So I chose to display the pieces I'm most proud of. Despite the rocky start, 2024 turned out to be a good year.

I've been blessed with opportunites, and had people actually ask me for comissions! I still can't believe my luck. I used to (and still do, tbh) daydream about earning money by drawing and painting, and I can finally check that off the list.

Through art, I also met a good few nice people. I'm fairly shy, and very much introverted, so I tend to keep to myself and enjoy life that way. But meeting new people, who're talented and enthusiastic... It reminds me of way back when in 2008, when I used to spend every day in online forums. It's awesome.

I hope you have done things to be proud of this year, and if you haven't I wish 2025 will be different. I can tell you, it feels really good to look back and see that it wasn't all a waste, so I desire you to feel the same at some point.

I'm just rambling now, and showing how poor my English really is LOL. You got the gist of it, I guess.

Cheers.
