After sooo long I think I'm getting used to this new mental workload. I feel like I'm finally able to get back to my personal art projects. I came back to right where I left off with this concept -- WIP but it's getting there. My big resolutions for this year is to study as much as I can, create more characters, and get healthy!! #conceptart #digitalart #WIP #demon #lust https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMsmC1gokX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f4617jg4ah79

A small portrait of my new favorite champion. <3 I literally had to relearn my own process since I haven't painted anything in so long! It was fun. #neeko #leagueoflegends #fanart #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6yJUIgPd1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c9ptgd0d1vxq

#9. Precious // Did a concept sketch of a dragon girl to represent greed. Didn't have a lot of time so I just drew without much revision. Although I enjoy spending hours and hours on a piece, refining and tweaking the smallest details until I'm content-- I've learned to let go of that perfectionism at times. Time seems to be most precious nowadays. :) #inktober2018 #inktober #precious #day9 #dragon https://www.instagram.com/p/BovJfbylVjn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vdf4lmbtm8q2

Joining in on Inktober! Better late than never, right? I'll be practicing my digital lines. Hopefully by the end of this my lines will be CLEAN. 👏 Here's me and @justjeric 's character Desi (our demon girl for Lust)! #inktober #inktober2018 #day6 #drooling https://www.instagram.com/p/BomjGkGlRrV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o9ffriguep8j

Some warlock designs for my CGMA character design class. Which one do you like the best? ... My recent disappearance is due to the process of relocating to another state for my first art job! I'm super excited and nervous, but happy. I feel like I've strived for this almost my entire life. This company wants anime-styled work so I'm excited to develop and work with this style and create more cute things! I'll still be working on character designing and personal projects when I'm not working so stay with me for that. Thanks for your support. :) #characterdesign #warlock #animeart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmd8aHxFkzQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gf1q4wrow942

Hey guys, here's the next round of concept sketching for our succubus to represent Lust. I decided to go with the anglerfish design and created a few variations for her outfit and hairstyles. Feedback and CC welcome! 🙂 #conceptart #sketch #succubus

[vixylseijin]

This is the start of my project to learn and improve with concept art. In collaboration with my writer friend (@justjeric), we're creating seven demons who embody the seven sins. The first one is for "Lust"! They are a type of succubus/incubus that can switch sexes at will and disguise themselves as a human (in order to seduce their prey and consume their soul). This is their true form, so to speak. I started out with some initial exploration sketches, and after some feedback decided to go for more animalistic features rather than the typical succubus look. They all need a lot of work but I'm trying to decide if I should explore the concept more, or start building on one. Let me know what you guys think! #conceptart #illustration #sketch #succubus #demon

My first sculpt ever is a... Sexy Nosferatu?? Having lots of fun learning Zbrush with @bluefley (Marc Brunet) and his Complete Introduction to Zbrush videos. Can't wait to learn how to do hair and finish the rest of the sculpt. #zbrush

>resorts to posting art memes because feeling like shit lately (but I'm ok👌) What do you guys think? I notice a lot of portrait artist's art style reflects a lot of their own features. Are we all secretly narcissists or something? 🤔 #artvsartist

I did an overpaint of a super old Ezreal fan art I did in 2013. What a long journey this has been; my only regret is not taking it more seriously back then. Here’s what I would have told 2013 me:

1. Learn to use the lasso tool + soft brush for parts that need a crisp and clean edge.

2. Don’t be afraid to use Photoshop to it’s full extent. Adjustment layers and layer styles should be experimented with and mastered. Learning these helped my art a lot.

3. Be mindful of silhouettes and how well everything is read. Use the zoom tool to see how it looks from far away.

4. Do studies of photos and learn some god damn lighting.

5. View your image in grayscale to perfect your values. I do this by putting a layer filled with black and set to ‘color’ on top.

6. Try to create a focal point and use techniques to lead the eye to it.

7. Use tons of reference! Even if you have to take them yourself.

And 8. Don’t give up. It’s normal for artists to get in a negative head space. It’s normal to doubt yourself and get art block. The important thing is to get back up and keep at it (more personal one for me).

I still have a long way to go. The great thing about art is that it has no skill cap and I can continue to improve. Thank you all for tagging along though this journey. ♥️

Concept art for Claire! Went through a lot of tweaking until Jeric and I were satisfied with this design. She takes care of troubled or troublesome spirits with her scythe, two guns, and a special lantern that holds ghost energy. #conceptart #digitalpainting #characterdesign

[vixylseijin]

Here's a portrait of Claire, the main protagonist of a story I'm working on with writer @justjeric ! I had a weird process with this one since I initially wanted a simplified anime style since this is for a comic. But I kept giving her digital plastic surgery until I felt happy with her look. But what do you guys think, do you prefer the simplified anime look? 🤔 Swipe through and you'll see what I mean! #conceptart #portrait #anime #digitalart #digitalpainting

Photography by @artratio Did a small and relaxing study. I like soft, almost glowy lighting like this~ --- #art #instaart #study #portrait #digitalpainting
