New Meet the Artist for 2026

Hey! I'm a professional artist with two art degrees. I do all kinds of work. Consider following me here or anywhere else.

My absolute goal as an independent artist is to create my own graphic novels, games, and stories. I also like doing murals and selling my products at conventions, shows, and art spaces.

My main blog is @raineworker where I upload sketches and follow people! I also do most of my community related stuff over there!

Revamping some old ocs inbetween projects. Here's Elizah and Becker!

They are low stakes guys who are just around for my enjoyment, for now anyway. They live in an urban environment and participate in some kind of parkour/free running/ grind fiction situation, but that's as far as I'm going for now!

I did that trend everyone's doing amid the search for my work-life balance... Whaddya think?

[raineworker]

for the first time ever on the internet i feel compelled to apologize for my brief absence.

🙇🏾 I'm still around, just busy. Hopefully will be able to post some things and update stuff, but I'm not pressed about it. I'm back on the 9-5 grind 😑 and while I definitely don't hate my job, it's pretty hard to do what i want after work bc of how much energy i put to work (which isn't a bad thing! but like man.)

Thanks for sticking around. 🤔 Social media and I don't normally get along but i think this year I may continue attempting to figure it out.

Happy New Year folks!

Some blips from my portfolio day post over on bluesky.

See you all next year! Don't look too closely at my selfie-

[raineworker]

My new job is pretty good. It's a full time thing though so I'm still figuring out work-life balance on top of finding the bandwidth to work on projects during my free time. I'm coming up with some productive results. Hopefully I'll have more to share soon...

[wyraine]

Not gone, not on a hiatus, just working!

sneak peak for the brave and the bold!

[wyraine]

Gainful employment has kept me busy (thank God), but I do look forward to getting more time to myself!

[wyraine]

Hey lol. I'm thinking about opening up commissions in other places.

This is your chance. Reblog this post with exactly ONE of your OCs and I may draw them. Followers only. I'm doing this as a personal experiment. I will probably delete this later so get it while it's hot!

updated my pinned post over on my bluesky. This is a temporary thing before I remake my meet the artist for the new year.

Anyway, here's my unbridled rage that I've withheld from bluesky, which is really only viable for tumblr.

Like, it's at that point where, if you see me, cross the street, respectfully. I had no idea how poorly I was being treated until I got away from the situation, and then I got to watch them scramble and victimize themselves. Well, okay. I can't control that. I can't control the fact that they have a wildly delusional interpretation of how I was being abused by them. I can't control their insincerity, or how they enable each other, but I can control myself.

I'll make this plain: You should leave people alone.

Any inclination to dominate another person, to bully them, to make them lesser than themselves to appease you, or soothe your shriveled ego, is a sign of maladaptive behavior. If you are not kind to the people you claim to love, if you are not patient with them, if you are not capable of holding space for their frustration when YOU do something wrong, you are not worthy to be in their lives.

Many of my problems would have been avoided if people just left me alone from the start, but I also understand that life is not so simple. I don't hold it against them that they were bad people, but like, you know, I'm still angry about it.

A rare reblog from my casual blog to my serious one.

Take a gander at all my frustration, won't you?

The Sketching Shall Continue Until Morale Improves 😤

The Patron, The 'Sona, And Me

A few months ago I started revising and updating some of my original characters. This is a longer term thing I'm doing over time and less of a "project", but I've been sitting on some of this art and I figured I could at least share in part what I have so far. I shouldn't have to say it like this, but people are stupid so- I take my OCs very seriously and am working towards things with them. I might upload fan art and derivative works every now and again but that's not my main focus in the slightest hahaha.

For my favorite characters I started making name tags in the same vein I've been doing my "meet the artist" for the past few years.

It's been a lot of fun! A good exercise for sure. I wish I had more time to just sit around and ideate about my OCs but alas, there is work to be done! Take note of how none of my medieval-fantasy characters have nametags...

[wyraine]

Thankful to say I've been a bit busy as of late. Thinking a lot about work!

[wyraine]

A bit back I started on a little project to make character designs based on the playable riders in the upcoming game! I might tune these up some more later but I'm very pleased with what I have so far!

[wyraine]

Another character from the same setting as Poppet!

I'm still figuring out names, but for now: Goobert(👀) is a mysterious fellow who travels around all alone. He shows up every now and again to give Poppet his aid. They're the closest of friends!
