New initial banner as I get things started to do commissions on the side again! Of course this will get tweaked over time, but for the time being, not a bad first edit, if I do say so myself!

Love this list for finding how to turn something good in a character into something dark and dangerous!

good traits gone bad

perfectionism - never being satisfied

honesty - coming off as rude and insensitive

devotion - can turn into obsession

generosity - being taken advantage of

loyalty - can make them blind for character faults in others

being dependable - always depending on them

ambitiousness - coming off as ruthless

optimism - not being realistic

diligence - not able to bend strict rules

protectiveness - being overprotective

cautiousness - never risking anything

being determined - too focussed on one thing

persuasiveness - coming off as manipulative

tidiness - can become an obsession

being realistic - being seen as pessimistic

assertiveness - coming off as bossy

pride - not accepting help from others

innocence - being seen as naive

selflessness - not thinking about themself enough

being forgiving - not holding others accountable

curiosity - asking too much questions

persistence - being seen as annoying

being charming - can seem manipulative

modesty - not reaching for more

confidence - coming off as arrogant

wit/humor - not taking things serious

patience - being left hanging

strategic - coming off as calculated

being caring - being overbearing

tolerance - being expected to tolerate a lot

eagerness - coming off as impatient

being observant - being seen as nosy

independence - not accepting help

being considerate - forgetting about themself

politeness - not telling what they really think

reliability - being taken advantage of

empathy - getting overwhelmed with feeling too much for other people

"Title Card V2," 2020, Photoshop.

One of my main issues when drawing characters is that for some reason I make the necks really, really long. I drew this before I realized I had that stylization tendency, but still enjoyed making it. This was from back when I was still knocking around with a Webtoon idea.

"Hands-Free Bubble Tea," 2020, Photoshop.

An old commission from back during my first attempt at freelancing. I now know that freelancing for my style should be a side hustle more than anything, but that doesn't mean I won't be making art of high quality or underselling myself.

[reba-ceres]

Did a complete redo of my carrd! Let me know what you think, or if any errors come up for you!

I will look at making it more mobile-friendly, but for now I need a break!

"Perseids," 2019, Photoshop

An old contest entry I found while organizing my art files in preparation for restarting my art freelancing enjoyment. I wasn't too happy with the trees, but I really loved how I got the sky to look.

I'd never even thought to do this! This is awesome!

All of the FFXIV soul crystals and some stones from real life that could serve as their analogues!

Special thanks to @robboybot for lending me his awesome rock knowledge to help with this!

Thank you, all!!!

I am honestly blown away at the reaction my recent art postings have gotten, especially "Shepard of Stars" and "Kairi." Not just reblogs and likes, but actual comments! Thank you all for such an amazing confidence boost and restoring much more of my faith in creating art more than you will ever know. Honestly, seeing "Kairi" surpass 50 likes/reblogs/comments almost made me cry with happiness! A little about me is that I am partially disabled. I have hyper mobility that got worse with age since I was medically neglected my entire childhood. Now, if I'm having a good day, I can only draw for around an hour at a time. Usually, on a typical day it is more like 15 minutes. Any longer and my shoulder and elbow run the risk of dislocating and subluxating, which despite me being used to it, is quite painful. Not "Oh, that hurts," but the jerk away gasping and clutching your limb kind of pain. I'm not saying this as a pity-party. I'm saying this to let everyone that has bothered to give pause and enjoy my artwork that you guys have inspired me! I was feeling a little hopeless with all the exercises, physical and dietary restrictions, and time consuming treatments I have had to take on to simply maintain my health with minimal improvement, but if it means I can make pieces that reach this many people? If it means I can increase my art stamina closer to what it was before my health collapsed and draw/paint/create more? Hells be damned, I am going to do it! I CAN do it! Thank you for everything, and see you next artwork!

Pride Flowers Collection I "Alphabet Mafia" - Pride Flag "Lesbos Island" - Lesbian Pride Flag "The Eighties" - Gay Pride Flag

CPS, 2024

When I was first getting back into art, I began by drawing graphic flowers to represent the various aspects of pride invoking the flag, but not being the flag. My area is VERY hostile to LGBTQIA+ people, and I wanted a way people could express their self without fear at the same time. I have plans for these designs, but for the time being, I'm enjoying drawing each flower based on a flag.

"Queen of the Gods," 2019, Clip Studio Paint

An fanartwork I tried to do off the bat for huevember one year when I had nowhere near the speed to do it! Hera still came out stunning!

[reba-ceres]

Added my finished sketch that I made the artwork based off of!

Primal Fashion (F): The Late King's Gown, 2022

Time to launch this series! First up is the dress inspired by Titania!

[reba-ceres]

Added the initial sketch to this post!

"Laurielle," 2021, CSP.

Final render, and initial inks and sketch.

This is actually a redraw of a VERY old artwork I did. I revamped to character to make an appearance in what was supposed to be a two shot campaign, but ended up only one shot, but it was still a lot of fun. I am way too behind to even consider joining a campaign at this point, but making characters is still really fun!

"Shepard of the Stars," 2020, CSP

I was experimenting not only in a sepia manga half tone,but also with digital foil effects. Not bad for my first try!

"Chidori"

CSP, 2020

An old piece I did as a birthday present for an old static mate when I tried to raid in FFXIV. I hope she still likes sharks! Even if we have lost touch, I have never forgotten about her.

"Nael"

CSP, 2020

Full render and initial flat. A screenshot redraw that taught me a lot about the complexity of even a flat color character!

[reba-ceres]

"Kirin"

Krita, 2018.

Old contest piece I entered for a Huion art contest. Didn't place, but at least I learned a lot from making this!
