Another sticker/postcard idea, which still needs some prototyping. I’ve decided to take a month-long vacation without pay next month, so I could but more effort into my artsy stuff. We’ll see where it leads me then. I would be so happy if I could leave healthcare work for good, honestly.

Something whimsical/eerie, that turned into deeply personal work.

I use an old laptop to paint, which still runs Windows 7. A couple of weeks ago, I finally managed to upgrade its RAM from 2 GB to 6 GB (tried to make it 8GB, but it didn’t work), and the difference is noticeable. My art programs launch much quicker, and I no longer need to wait for a couple of minutes for the brush strokes to finish.

Shared this little step-by-step last night on my Patreon & Kofi and decided I would share it here too.

Another very basic tutorial on my fake oil-painting style. Honestly, those texture layers do the most work. Sometimes I paint a few strokes over them to make it look more like an oil painting and fiddle with the layer opacity and different textures.

The brushes I use come from various sets, and the texture layouts might have come from one of them, too, but I need to look into it.

Every once in a while, I think about Final Fantasy XIV. Sadly, I was only able to play it for a little while due to my pc being pretty old (also didn’t really have anyone to play it with.) I still think the Vieras are pretty cool tho (liked the Roegadyn & the Lalafells too!)

I wanted to draw something soft and gay, and after one failed attempt, I ended up with this.

[ℕ𝕖𝕨 𝕕𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕟, 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕕𝕚𝕤?]

New year, new signature, new art.

It was time to draw another demon character. I’m still unsure what to do with this story; should I make it as a comic or write it as a book? Since my writing craze started summer of 2024, writing seems to be the way to go, but I would probably use a different pen name.

We’ll see what will happen.

I wanted to draw another wispy doll, but oops! They turned into Io.

Oh, wow! I’m still alive, and this is my first digital piece since March, I think? I’ve managed to get most of my things in order, and I hope I get to make more art soon, maybe even start pursuing it early next year, but we’ll see. Had to return to my old job, but at least I have a new car now!

I hope you all have had a lovely time, or if you happen to go through a rough time, may the rough times end soon!

Aaaand here’s the final commission from this batch to another very, very lovely person.

I still have way too many bills to deal with, and right now I don’t have more commissions, so if you’ve ever wanted art made by me, then feel free to check out my current commission offer!

DM me or message me at artist.vinders [at] gmail.com. You can also request your commission via kofi or artistree.io/vinders

Another commission for another very lovely person.

[ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝟘𝟙 - 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟝]

Always honored to draw other ppl’s oc’s, especially when I get challenged to draw something I don’t usually draw. My many thanks & hugs to the person who commissioned their very cool-looking character! I hope I did them justice.

(p.s. my commissions are open)

Doing these as warm ups is really fun, although I wish I could spend more time on each, but that would miss the point.

Read from left to right.

Very recently (like a couple of days ago), I began to make these very rough and quick silent comic strips about a bunny named Mimy and her fox partner Bobo partly because I wanted to try something new and partially because I wanted to actually make something. Not sure what I think about this project yet, but I have a few more strips over at my Kofi & Patreon.
