Forgot to share this dreamy Halsin blanket I ordered from @feyspeaker !

Currently using it as an actual blanket, but I'll be moving soon and there's this wall space where it would look amazing as a tapestry!😍

Hey, I'm so curious, when and how did you get into Cyberpunk 2077?

I looked though your tag, only found 2 commissions for other people, and the earliest actual fanart you seemed to make for yourself is posted on November 9th and it's Judy.

Your art is so beautiful and it's so nice to see you posting about Cb2077. Just was unexpected for me I think 😁

I was into the tabletop game maybe 10 years ago or so, but I only started playing 2077 recently! I'm still playing it. ❤️❤️ Thank you!!

Just wanted to ask 😅

Did you post your Silverhand art on reddit (r/cyberpunkgame) too? It's on account u/lilithluxe if not!!!

Yes I did, it's my old artist handle before I changed it. Reddit won't let you change usernames! 😵‍💫

My @feyspeaker blanket arrived! It’s so big I had to unfold it on the dining room table and stand on my bench to get a photo. I’m in love 😍😍

Hi!! I’m not sure if you have already answered this, I tried to scroll through as much as I could to check lol But how clean are your sketches before you paint them? I know some people leave them as loose can be and some clean them up and even outline. So I was just wondering! :)

Hi there! Usually rather hideous so I do not share much. I use a mixed media approach to my painting, so to "sketch" I will sometimes use a mixture of 3D (I like to use Blender but I probably use it like a gorilla lol) and photobashed elements. I will build scenes kind of like a collage instead of traditional sketching first, then I will color correct them to fit together- usually I use 3D to build lighting reference. Then I run everything through a lot of filters to bring everything together better (I like to gaussian blur, then the posterize and palette knife filters in Photoshop, I've been using the oil paint filter for my vintage BG3 portraits haha) then I sketch over it more traditionally. Either I go straight into painting or I do this in black and white more recently, if I do that I add color later. The B&W process is a lot less chaotic so I've been enjoying that a lot more recently. both ways allow me to tweak character's likenesses and more importantly add in details like clothing/hair/elements like that so I'm not painting blind.

I have a lot of background in Photoshop like, for editing photography so I take a non-traditional approach to digital art. (if there even is one) It's a lot more akin to the way concept artists put together pieces, however I take them a few steps further to, hopefully, obfuscate the beginning a bit more. I love concept art but I do think a lot of it looks stiff or clearly photobashed, which I don't love the look of. A few years ago I started messing with this process as it felt like a lot of my beefy Photoshop knowledge was being wasted while I was focusing on more stylized works using Rebelle 5.

Honestly, my sketching process is the ugliest thing known to mankind and I am very self conscious about it, so I don't share a lot. It's not aesthetically pleasing, it just looks like I have no idea what I'm doing lol. I might share some about my Frankenstein process on Patreon at some point.

I believe very strongly in using the tools you have available as an artist, especially in this hellscape where AI abominations are at every corner and the pressure to create as fast as you can looms over you constantly as an artist. There are so many cool and weird ways to make art, ESPECIALLY with your computer, that there's really no excuse to use AI slop. I'd take my weirdo collage approach any day over asking some machine to poop out "art" for me.
