I've finally finished my first proper piece this month!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Despite the bad working circumstances, I think this piece came out quite nicely. Hopefully, this can be the momentum to help me pull myself together and get my life back on track ๐Ÿ˜…

Working on another personal piece to try and dig myself out of the current creative slump โœ๏ธ This OC was inspired by the fat dragon from the new DnD movie ( I highly recommend it btw! ) 

Almost done but I'm struggling a bit with the tail, not sure how I want it to look yet. Overall though, I'm quite happy with my chubby dragon girl so far, I think she's my best one yet ^^

I'm going through a big creative slump and it's been frustrating not having that drive to draw like I used to. Decided to put all commission works aside for now and just focus on getting my mojo back ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

I tried to be a little different from my usual style with this Asuna piece, I'm not sure about the result though ๐Ÿค” What do you guys think?

I'm so sorry I haven't been as active here as I used to be. My productivity has been total crap for almost 2 weeks due to the apocalyptic heatwave sweeping through my city. My body is just not good at handling this kind of weather so I'm constantly tired and stressed out. 

I haven't been able to draw much but I'm trying to work on these 2 pieces atm.

On being a full-time freelance artist

A few aspiring artists have asked for my advice on how to make a living doing art. I always tried to keep my answers short and hopefully still provide them with something of substance, but I think itโ€™s time I should go a little more in-depth into this topic.

This is gonna be less of an โ€˜advice on making money from artโ€™ blog and more of just me sharing my experience and the experience of other freelance artists I know. If this is of interest to you, I hope you can find at least one...

I've been having a serious procrastination problem this month but I feel like I've finally picked up the pace by finishing this Mirko piece. I'm quite happy with how it turned out as well ๐Ÿฐ

Incredibly grateful for my generous patron whose support allowed me to work on this character that I love ๐Ÿ™

I've finally finished this piece, it's been a real slow month. 

The social media game tires me out a lot recently. I'm shadowbanned on both Twitter and Insta, and I'm pretty sure Insta is actively deleting my followers. 

I'm seeing the DnD movie this week though, super excited about that!

My first time trying to draw a whole page. I started this piece entirely on a whim while working on something else so I didn't spend any time researching the fundamentals at all.

A generous patron has recently decided to commission a Mirko piece from me. Iโ€™m so excited to finally be able to work on this!

Mirko always seemed like a perfect fit for the kind of art I do but I never found the time to get to her till now. I am always amazed by the incredible support from you guys โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

Iโ€™ve been so tangled up in life problems that Iโ€™ve had little time to draw or stay active online.

Iโ€™m currently working on this piece that I quite like so far though. This is actually my first time drawing water in any significant sense and Iโ€™m still very much not sure how itโ€˜s gonna turn out. Letโ€˜s hope for the best ๐Ÿ˜…

My generous supporter Adrien has commissioned me to freely do another OC of mine, so I'm finally being able to finish this character that I started so long ago! 

You guys might remember her being white in the last color sketch I posted, but I've decided to change that since I feel a brown skin would fit this design so much better.

Ada Wong in RE4 remake looks so damn good!

It's my current goal to be able to finish one piece of this quality a day. I'm still too slow so I struggled and was barely able to make it this time ๐Ÿ˜… Hopefully I'll be able to increase both my speed and quality soon.

Rambling thoughts on AI and the future of artists

Itโ€™s been some time since my last blog. I wonโ€™t lie, I am worried.

Maybe itโ€™s because Iโ€™m just not a good enough artist, but I canโ€™t help thinking about how my livelihood might be impacted in the next few months or years. It even feels a bit unfair, the fact that Iโ€™ve only been able to make a living off my art for a year and now Iโ€™m already worrying about how I might lose it all.

Of course, I can only speak as a full-time freelancer, I donโ€™t know how the industry p...

Cover art I did for Mount Olympus Comics.

This simple piece might end up being the favorite thing I did this month. There's something subtle about the movement here that's sorely lacking in my other work, it makes the whole thing feels so much more alive ๐Ÿค” I also think I did a pretty good job with the hair.

Below are several high-quality files for you guys ^^

I-am-exhausted ๐Ÿ’€

I'm quite happy with how Ilulu turned out but Lucoa still needed much more work (her lower half is pretty messy). I have to turn this in though, time's up. 

One of the hardest things to me about doing art for a living is knowing when to stop, even if I may find the result somewhat unsatisfactory. I have to move on to the next piece now.

I really got into the mood to draw something new today so I decided to set aside everything and do a new Dragon Maid piece. This one has to be bigger and better in every way compared to the last one!

And yes, they're wearing the legendary Virgin Destroyer and Virgin Killer ๐Ÿ˜

I also updated the prices of my tiers, but the changes will not affect my current patrons and the tiers you guys are already subscribed to.

What a day! ๐Ÿ’€

The left piece has the most difficult sitting pose I've ever tried to do, and the right piece is also hella tricky due to the guy in the back I haven't drawn yet ( I'm just not good at drawing guys ๐Ÿ˜” ). It may not seem like it, but working on these 2 today has been a real test to me, both mentally and physically. 

I am happy with how they're looking so far though, we'll see how it goes.

I've been quite slow the last couple of days, didn't get much done in terms of drawing. Other than that though, I think my life is going pretty well. I'm even thinking about traveling to South Korea sometime in May.

Both of these pieces were commissioned by 2 wonderful patrons of mine. Especially Alex, thank you so much for your support and patience โค๏ธ

You want a bite of chocolate? ๐Ÿซ

I really really enjoyed rendering this piece ^^ working on it made me realize that I just don't get to draw enough chocolate women! 

The hoodie is a different story though. The result is serviceable, but I definitely need to step up my techniques for drawing clothes other than just underwear.

POV: Baiken is about to suffocate you with her legendary weapons

I started this piece to celebrate Baiken's birthday but unfortunately couldn't finish it in time ๐Ÿ˜… The pose and angle here are more challenging than my usual stuff which was a little tricky for me during the render phase, but I think it still came out nice enough.

Some of you guys might remember this piece that I started but didn't finish back when I was having a serious Covid last year. I never did find the time to work on it again after I had recovered. However, Adrien, a generous patron has actually commissioned me to finish this piece as well as another OC of mine!

I am so incredibly grateful for his support, and I also want to take this chance to thank all of you amazing patrons again for deciding to help me on my art journey. You guys are i...

'See something you like?'

I've always wanted to draw Mai but somehow never got around to her until now. Tried some new time-saving techniques with this piece and they helped, but I'm not sure how to apply them in the future ๐Ÿค” Quite like how this piece came out though, especially considering the short amount of time I spent on it ^^

My fever is finally gone and I've started hitting the gym again. I really let myself go last year and gained a bunch of weight to the point that I can't believe this is my body now. 

I miss being fit, and it's not just that, I'm also so much weaker. I think that's why I get sick so easily now. So I decided it's time to be serious and finally get my old me back ๐Ÿ’ช My current goal is to work out at least 5 times a week, an hour each time, and lose 5kg in the next 2 months.  View Post
