The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after every project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

Introducing Monster High's latest student: STELLA TAYLE-HART!
This ghoulish doll is inspired by the famous Edgar Allan Poe story, and features a piercing blue gaze, victorian nightwear-inspired gown complete with bespoke "bloodstain" embroidery and rhinestones, translucent red ghostly limbs, and a beating heart glowing from within her rib cage and stunningly-crafted floorboard corset. Her appearance may be blood-curdling, and her somnambulism off-putting, but you can rest assured: her heart is always in the right place <3

Was scrolling through my own blog for fun as one does and realized
My mermay-equivalent post last year was ALSO on the 31st
Exactly a year ago
But what really stood out to me about that, is how Far you have to scroll to find it. Makes me feel So proud and happy and accomplished??
Like the digital equivalent of a sketchbook so filled with art it’s doubled in thickness and the pages are all buckled and stiff as you flip through it <3
#soli soliloquies#gonna keep the cheese in the tags and say#thanks for joining me on that journey last year#I feel like I’ve grown so much as an artist#and I’m so excited to share all these projects I’ve been working on behind the scenes

I wasn’t planning on participating in Mermay in any way because, well… Mermaids aren’t really My Thing. But then I discovered this song, immediately became obsessed with it… and then desperately needed to capture The Vibes. So here we are!

Sometimes getting an answer is what's scarier
#artists on tumblr#solstrix draws#black and white#digital art#this is actually a much older piece#I made it based on the feeling of like.#being queer and wanting to confess those feelings#but being so afraid of rejection and of the other person's reaction#that I'd rather just keep it to myself forever#this represents that limbo between sharing how you feel and waiting for an answer#and the idea of purposefully avoiding that answer#sending that text and then abandoning your phone in the woods forever

Winter Spirit
#artists on tumblr#solstrix draws#winter#elk#ice#It is very solidly Spring here#but I have been thinking about how long winters last in Canada#And about winter as a sort of death#this was also me trying to practice a more painterly style for myself#i dont know how to tag this and I dont know how to talk about it

Two sisters. Two sides of the same coin.
#artists on tumblr#my art#solstrix draws#dnd#dungeons and dragons#dnd ocs#dnd oc art#dnd character art#the concept being that one sister is a famous singer and performer#and the other Used to perform with her... before she got completely overshadowed by her flashier sister

Some News!
The first and most important piece of news of course is this: it me birthday :> But no seriously. I know I haven't been posting regularly in A While (and I do feel kinda bad about it!) but you see. Between getting started on my new job, a weekend trip, and some family Things, March has proven to be... a bit rough for me!
That's not to say I haven't been working on art, however. Far from it! I actually have a huge project in the works, something for which I have been doing A Lot of iterating and prep work. I don't want to give TOO much away here, but let's just say, if you liked my streams, you'll probably also like what's coming!
On a related note, I feel like while I am working on many things... But pretty much all of them are still in an unfinished state. I still have a bit of a backlog which I really should've just queue'd up so this whole drought wouldn't even have happened but once that's done... What do we think about me sharing WIPs?
#soli soliloquies#I've been resistent to posting WIPs before now... I feel like they might come across as kinda underwhelming...#But at the same time#isn't it fun to see where a piece began? and where it ended up??#hi im a chronic overthinker can you tell
