Refined Inktober sketch. Painting in black and white is oddly soothing!
Planning to upload more again soon, I have some backlog from the last few months that just needs to be polished up for posting
#artists on tumblr#clip studio paint#black and white#b&w#fantasy#this was the first year I've EVER gotten close to successfully doing one of those month-long prompt challenges!#most of them were too half-baked for me to feel worth uploading#but I REALLy struggle with drawing motivation so just being able to do 1 thing a day for that long?#that was the real goal! so I definitely felt some pride x'D#like. the being half-baked thing was A-OK as it wasn't my goal but it's not really blog material either if that makes sense!#did a lot of life drawing in the fall as well though idk how fun they'd be to see as an observer either hahaha

Now that I finally managed to snag a comm I feel like I can upload these hehehe...some just-for-fun dogification of my WoL, Lio!
#lio drachendancer#she is very sheltie-coded#they are LOUD they are LIVELY and they are FULL OF FEELINGS#and much love!#the top design is stylized and the second is more realistic albinism#im not an expert on it but iirc with dogs their eyes don't really tend to be pink?#like they tend to look more of a glassy/icy blue instead#so I wanted to make a version with each!

Related to my last post, some sample Auraboas I made to go alongside their revamp at my adoptable shop. These have been my most complex adoptable to date and went through many, many thumbnails before I found something that worked!
Additionally, they also returned with 11 different bird companions to choose from:
(They're set to an element by default, but sticking to that isn't required ^^ )
If you'd like one for yourself, they're available now for 400kt/g, with gene sponsor prices ranging from 100-200kt/g. Go check it out!

Sorry for the lack up updates on here - I've been very busy with Flight Rising adopts the past few months! ^_^ While most of it's been on commission, these are a few of the new genes I've prepared for my newest shop update, which launched yesterday alongside my Auraboa revamp :]
I've also been experimenting with a few different pre-made customization options which people can add to their orders, some of which are shown above. If you would like to check out my shop, you can do so at this link here! Any and all interest is much appreciated!

A small smattering of traditional cat studies from last weekend with a small bit of cleanup in CSP. All sketches are referenced from photos by Helmi Flick (whom I imagine many cat artists are familiar with! XD )

From the finale of Sybal Heim, an art-based RPG, and a follow-up to this piece.
There were a few sketches for the finale I made, this being the other one that made it to completion. I mentioned in the Discord I envision this happening right after the "main" piece, wherein the simulacrum of his old Sybal is able to help him fully to his feet for Dramatic Eye Contact. (and then after managing to hold it together long enough for the point to get across, he probably starts crying properly bc Lightkeeper hugs hitting a lil too stronk rn...)
Pairs with this literature [CW for non-graphic description of combat violence, trauma, and death]
Sybal Heim and the inky Constable "look" + facial symbols belong to Anna Earley, Achik and the Silken Lightkeeper belong to myself.

Scene from the finale of an art-based RPG I'm in called Sybal Heim. My character Achik refuses a direct order to move, with help from an unexpected, achingly-welcome friend.
Everyone depicted here....has had a very long month, and an even longer morning.
Accompanying literature [CW for brief description of combat violence, trauma, and death]
Sybal Heim and Mr. Big Inky Guy Basileus belong to Anna Earley, Achik and the Silken Lightkeeper belong to myself.

Portrait commission for Avmire on Flight Rising. This one took much longer than I expected, but I think it really turned out well in the end :] Getting to draw an Undertide for the first time was so fun, too!
#artists on tumblr#clip studio paint#personal fav#flight rising#undertide#dragon#commission#I took a bit of inspiration from spinosaurids for the teeth#feel free to ask me about commissions btw!#I'm taking a short break from formal comms to figure out my pricing better now that I have more experience#and I want to eventually charge real money for them to try and help support myself#but I'm open to jot down names for when I feel ready to do comms again!#fully-painted ones like these will probably be in the $40 range bc Life Cost Money#and they can easily take me 5 hours or more

Early sketches of a character I began drawing back in April, named The Antlion, one individual of a "species" of beings that's so far defied classification. Whether they are organic or constructs, or perhaps a mix of both, remains unknown, and many factors make researching them difficult at best.
There's many more drawings on my hard drive, but these are the only ones semi-finished thus far XD so uhhh your problem now! //tosses

Birds on a line
Description below cut!
Back in late summer, I sketched out a fast composition of a bunch of birds on a power line in my sketchbook. I knew I wanted to turn it into a full picture with some kind of interesting sky, but wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, so I went searching through my old photos of skies and clouds (of which there are MANY...), and narrowed it down to 5-10. From there I decided on a few versions to paint, trying to make sure each was interesting and distinct within the set, and also wanted to see how well I could integrate the power lines and bird silhouettes into each different setting.
The first image was referenced from an old photo I had of an incredible sunset supercell that popped up over my house a few years ago. The scope and scale of it really can't be overstated. Even panoramic photos didn't do it justice!! It was absolutely mindblowing, and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to see one of them in person, let alone so close to my house!
#artists on tumblr#clip studio paint#personal fav#birds#skies#clouds#painting#animals#I've had this in my drafts for like 3 months intending to go back and add more variety with the birds XD#but decided today I'd rather upload it during 2023 and just come back to it later if I really feel like it!#cause otherwise it's uhhhh Not Happening XD

Commission for @azkhar of their wolf character, Sundaisy! This lad was a joy to paint, and getting the opportunity to draw wolves again and push my skills with them was a lot of fun ^_^

Sometimes uploading art is gleefully hitting "post" and hunching eagerly over your screen for the next few minutes to see if anyone likes it.
Sometimes it's more like spending days working up the nerve to hit the button, then running screaming out of the room the second it sends XD
