#i dont usually post my art online but i like seeing others' art so i figured id give it a shot!!

[auaauuauaggghhhhh]

[todayisafridaynight]

i’m pretty surprised that you can be in a fandom without really checking the tags regularly for new content or discussions that’s pretty impressive

ive got twitter for that and twitter has shown me enough as is

[wszczebrzyszynie]

OUGH, I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW SO MUCH!!! If it's not too much to ask could you show how you do it? Because like, your art is so yummy! And how do you color pick?? Every time I see the colors you use I'm just gen flabbergasted

not entirely sure what to give you here, as i dont do speedpaints/timelapses (they slow down my csp a lot). I just draw. When it comes to colours, i usually have an idea how to colour when i do the sketch, as its easier to plan it out at that stage. If it helps you: i try to reuse as many colours in the drawing as possible, to not make it look too much, especially when theres a lot of details going on. It helps keeping the artwork consistent, i suppose. I choose one "leading" colour beforehand, same with an accent colour, if there is one (and its usually red for me). In the Przemek drawings case the leading one would be grey (greenish grey to avoid using blue, as its not a colour i ever really use, and you can trick your brain into believing its blue with context; my limitations extend to not using the other half of the colour wheel, but i know many people dont like to limit themselves like that) and the accent colour would be red. In the other two drawings i try to not use accents much, relying on black (or the almost black) to make the artwork feel fuller. Which is why a lot of my drawings have the black border around; it helps to balance things out. And its good for posting online. If you have trouble putting the colours down, maybe try to do thumbnails? They help me a lot with figuring things out. Also i use a lot of different layer modes, with the ones im most dependent on being overlay (usually greyish reds to make the drawings warmer), colour burn, brightness (very dark colour on low opacity, i just like the effect it gives) and glow dodge (golds and oranges usually, especially on character faces, to light them up a little and make them "pop" more. Just be careful not to overdo it). When i have trouble with values, i make a black layer on top of the drawing set to saturation, to make it a greyscale of sorts. It helps me see where things should be darker for balance. I dont know. hope this helps?

HEY GUYS!

This is a Sans AU (and Sanscest Ship) + Undertale AU Blog!

Welcome to my Blog where I post usually everything! (reblogs, art, text.)

i love u pookie @voidzphere <3

To get things out of the way just gonna list some people I DONT want here!

-PRODARKSHIPPERS/Comshippers, or whatever label your covering yourselves with, YOU ARE NOT VALIDATED OR WANTED HERE! I cannot control who follows me, but if I catch one following me its an immediate block. This also goes for the people who support them but aren't directly calling themselves a prodarkshipper.

-Racists, White-supremacists, Homophobics/Transphobics, people who make fun of Xeno-Genders and/or Neo-Pronouns.

-I do not want people under 12 to be on my blog.

I HAVE DIVERSE ARTSTYLES

I really like to experiment with art-styles, so i cant promise that my art-style will be consistent! Sometimes I may stick to one for a couple of weeks, but I may gradually move onto another! (Except for my oval head style, I'll forever love that one!)

I USE ANY PRONOUNS!

refer to me as a girl, boy, neither, nothing, I DONT CARE!! (You can literally never misgender me.)

NO NSFW

The definition on NSFW for me is, sex, or nudity (sexual), anything not okay for young children to see. (and since I am A minor, I will not post anything like that.)

I do NOT do any nsfw.

I am a Minor!

Reminder that I am a minor, so no sincere suggestive comments towards me, even if you are a minor yourself. (this excludes my Partner <3.)

I do Sans X Sans Ships!!

This should be obvious! If you do not like Sanscest this isnt the blog for you! I make some once in a while, if not all the time.. And I am a multishipper!

Do not DM me for an art-trade or for free art if you are a stranger, I will not reply.

I use IPAD and APPLE PENCIL, (I use the app Procreate and the online site Magma) to draw.

I may also use other devices, (phone, laptop.)

I may update this, idk when, but if the date is different and you care, just check in to see what I added.

I'm a pretty young artist and I'm not sure what I need to start off with.

Anatomy or color?

tl;dr there's no correct answer for this.

but you can start off by asking yourself what do i want to draw? what do i want to draw right now? depending on your subject, what style you want to learn/do (painted, linework) then that can determine how you think while you draw.

however, you won't and never will learn one thing into completion and then move onto the next, its a continuous process of learning and relearning.

you can learn either anatomy or color one at a time, or dedicate time split for both. imo, you learn both best together. either way, you learn both continuously for the entire time that you will ever engage with drawing. there's always a lot to learn.

i feel like a lot of beginner artists get wrapped up on thinking that one should be prioritized over the other, so my answer to this question is long:

the usual route people go to for this question is to focus on fundamental studies. in the few semesters of fundamental courses i had, our structure was this:

learn solid forms, shape, lights, grayscale values, perspective AND gesture/figures

continue building on gesture/figures AND start learning color(traditional painting)

continue with gesture/figure + start learning anatomy AND continue learning color (digital painting)

we start off with many other basic building blocks first before getting to anatomy/color, but those basic blocks are essential to building up how you think when practicing both. but where do you put this in practice while drawing for fun? this is time dedicated for studying fundamentals, after all. schooling helps, but a majority of us start out as self taught, especially since there's a multitude of free learning resources online.

if your preference of learning is to do things one step at a time, then maybe dedicating your time to fundamentals is the way to go. there's lots of educational resources out there to help build these fundamentals. at the top of my head, here's a few resources for anatomy: proko, sinix design, glenn vilppu (great for gestures). if there's anything to take away from this regarding anatomy, its to practice perspective, form, gesture, and figure first and foremost. anatomy dives deeply into more complex forms. start simple before you get overwhelmed.

unfortunately, i dont have many resources to give you in terms of learning fundamentals for color. i primarily learned off of experimenting and studying off of other artworks. i've already covered a lot on my thought process behind how i think when painting, so that post might be insightful the moment you get more into using color.

now, im gonna assume that you haven't had formal schooling in art (either not yet, or won't), but you spend your time drawing for fun. and now you want to dedicate a bit more time and practice into anatomy/color. i started off self taught, so i can relate.

earlier, i mentioned this question:

where do you put [fundamentals] in practice while drawing for fun?

when looking at your question again, i think of this: do i want to practice fundamentals as i draw for fun?

there's definitely a difference and spectrum between "going balls to the wall crazy and drawing for fun" and "using my drawing time for studies/practicing fundamentals."

if your answer is yes to that question above, then you're on the right track for seeing how this works in practice the moment you participate in both "drawing for fun" and "practicing fundamentals" for self practice.

in any drawing i do, i want my subjects to be posed as [xyz], but i also want the final illustration to look like [xyz] for color.

i gather references for both posing and color, and while drawing i look to study both at the same time. with posing, im looking at refs to study anatomy as i draw. sometimes i may only use one ref photo, or multiple, but either way im checking for various information like what are the proportions, how might the skin fold, what areas of body have soft/hard edges, what might these limbs look like when foreshortened, etc. with color refs i study them to analyze how another piece of artwork is doing something that i'd like to achieve in my own art. this goes back to things i've mentioned here.

in short, the time drawing for fun is also a time to put fundamental practice in place that helps build your skills as an artist. either way, my advice is to learn as you go and have try to have fun while you practice.

in the end, this is my perspective when i look at this question. others may disagree and have a different opinion, but at the end of the day, everyone has a different process on how they practice and grow as an artist.

this was lengthy, but this is an extremely broad question that goes beyond choosing one or the other, and there's reasons why that is. i hope i explained this well enough and that it answered your question in some way!

☆About☆

Hi! I'm Orion, he/him, 20.

My favorite color is pink, I adore my black cat, and I love drawing and worldbuilding. I don't tend to spend a lot of time posting so you may notice the worldbuilding bit is lacking. I plan to start publishing more writing!

I typically scower the OC art tag for new artists to follow. I try to leave comments and likes everywhere! Occasionally asks for my mutuals too.

☆Tags☆

Here are some general tags I use

#Writing

#Oc Art

#Sketch

#Art Reblogs

#Others Ocs - Typically my fanart and reblogs

My textposts are rarely tagged. Stumbling upon them is a privilege

☆Writing Tags☆

🚧 ;l under construction 🚧

☆OC List☆

I get asked a lot if people can draw my ocs. YES! I usually draw something back if I have the chance too (no promises). I do ask that you do not whitewash my OC's, especially Mzamaki. It's incredibly awkward as it has happened way too many times for me to be comfortable with. His coloration is based on what I think is most aesthetically pleasing, and very intentional. It kills my excitement to see a free work of art get it wrong, and y'know. I can't really complain because it's free, so it just sucks... I don't believe it's an intentional message of whiteness being better, I will always give the benefit of the doubt. I strongly don't like it though

Art trades are always welcome too

My OC's are grouped by who they most interact with. Additionally if there have been any posts made about them they will have a hashtag

Favorites are highlighted in blue, but tbh, I love them all

what exactly do you really think adding two huge banners of basic online etiquette to every post of yours is going to achieve?

like post what you want but it feels condescending as hell and i dont reckon thats your goal… right?

Hi, yeah, I’m not trying to be condescending in doing that, I do that because it’s a desperate plea.

See, when I was making almost solely Adventure Time fanart earlier in the year and in later 2023, almost every single piece I made was reposted to other sites (usually Pinterest) often without credit and never with permission. I’ve also had instagram accounts randomly steal my work and miss-a credit it to other people who also stole it. This is why I’ve made my watermark more noticeable and added the do not repost banners.

I’ve also been completely ignored nearly every time I’ve tried to ask the reposters to take down my reposted artwork so I’ve decided to just. Add the banners. It gets tiring hunting down random people on Pinterest or other places who will never respond and don’t care that I want my art to NOT be reposted.

As for the reblog>likes banner, that’s because I’ve encountered a lot of new-to-tumblr people who think likes actually work in the tumblr algorithm, and don’t realize that they do basically nothing, and I’ve seen a few artists I enjoy do it so I did it too, figured it couldn’t hurt.

[kingbeeleth]

NOW! KILL 'EM!

i usually go by BEELETH or HALBERD, but i am indifferent to having a name; you can call me anything or nothing at all really

refer to me with he/him, it/its, they/them, or no pronouns.

im 21; minors can interact, but be aware some of my posts/reblogs are suggestive (but typically text-only jokes). i would prefer for my followers to be 16 or older, but this isn't a strict rule or anything. just be safe online

ask me to tag things and i might do it (no guarantees unless we're mutuals, so follow at your own risk; current tags: flashing, loud, clown, bug, unsanitary, apocalypse — note that bug is only applied to realistic bug images, and unsanitary is only applied to more descriptive or visual-oriented posts.)

adult mutuals and brave adult followers, feel free to ask me for my adult art blog, but do not share it with people who should not / do not want to see it. please dont be offended if i dont share it with you. if you came here from my adult art blog, be normal about it and don't talk about my other works here thanks ^_^;

i'm a fat intersex asian guy, and i love men. i'm also epicene and autosexual. i consider myself bear-ish but i still like being cute

i have memory issues, so please be mindful of that. i'm also horrible about responding to messages/replies; if you want a faster response from me, feel free to give me a nudge

if you LOVE my art but HATE being in the presence of such an awesome and talented comedic genius, go to my art-only blog -> @halberdaswang

current major interests are:

Pokémon - mostly BW/BW2 and PLA

Mononoke

Yoeko (formerly Yoeko Kurahashi) - you should join r/YoekoKurahashi :)

DJ Technorch

rhythm games

vocal synths, particularly vocaloid and utau

my OCs - if you like my ocs feel free to draw them ^_^

i am also interested in Klonoa, Sonic, Kemono Friends, demonology, werewolves, media preservation, console emulation, and Nintendo homebrew among a billion other things. if i reblog something with a group of characters but only tag one of them, it's because i only tag my faves in reblogs (original posts are fair game).

additional stuff under the cut if you like reading ^_^

colors — #00FF00 (neon green) if it isn’t clear lol. i also like pink a lot, but if i suddenly went pink, i think it would scare everyone

hey, so i know i havent posted in a while and im really sorry for that!! i probably wont be active for while after this as well. anyways, i am letting you guys know that im turning off the anonymous ask option because there are a bunch of anons being very mean and even giving one or two death threats in my ask box. i know i probably shouldnt care and that they cant actually do things to me, but i still would like it to stop. so yeah. and to the anons who keep sending me those asks: why do you do this sort of stuff? what do you have to gain from bullying a teenager on the internet? nothing. absolutely nothing. please stop. im sorry that you dont like my art and think im, and i quote, "such a bitch", but you dont have to go out of your way to send me a bunch of mean asks hating on me. please stop. there are some people out there that could take those sort of things incredibly hard and might be in bad mental states. ive heard so many stories of people killing themselves because of all the hate and threats they received on social media. i recently attended a lecture about a man's son who killed himself at thirteen because of nonstop bullying. both online and in person. this man was heartbroken when he was speaking. so imagine how other people's family and friends would feel if someone killed themselves because of you or other people hating on them. really. stop doing this. i do hope those anons see this post and take it to heart because its really important to me that people stop doing this sort of thing. its really a terrible thing to do and im honestly convinced that people who bully others relentlessly like these anons do have no soul.

i hope i can get around to posting again soon. im sorry for this whole post, i know its kinda different compared to the usual art that i do. i promise ill eventually start posting doobles again! i hope you guys have a wonderful day/night <3333

intro post

hello, i don't really have one name online i use anymore, so whatever you want to call me, go for it. make up some stupid shit. call me zonked, i dont care.

im seventeen and a switch in the sfw tickle community. ive ran a few other blogs in the past, but abandoned them out of self-hate. i have not too recently accepted and embraced this about myself, and after lurking for a while, i have started a new blog.

i view tickles as a fun, silly, bonding activity for friends, lovers, or family, and just a cute part of the human condition. i adore seeing people laughing. i love laughs a lot. maybe a little too much.

i occasionally do tickle art and (rarely, but sometimes) tickle writing/scenarios. this blog will likely mostly consist of random thoughts, art, cute stuff i see or think, or other interactions within the community.

i love talking with others in the community like me, so never hesitate to dm me or anything. id love to chat and make a few friends here.

if you apply to any of the following labels, please do not interact with me or my blog. thanks!

feet-centered blog or someone with a foot fetish. do you, i have no problem with whatever you like, but it is not my thing and makes me uncomfortable.

prefer solely/mostly heavy bondage or tickle torture and/or have a blog centered around it, again, you do you but it scares me lol

homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, sexist, etc. need i explain. i am under the trans umbrella and gay. so if you don't like it fuck off respectfully

think witchcraft/pagan religions are "of the devil". i am a practicing witch. i respect and try to understand all religions. please do the same to me.

proshipper or a proshipping supporter.

a vore enjoyer sexual or nonsexual. sorry and no personal hate to you but that stuff terrifies/disgusts me

enjoy/create irl tickling content. yes, this includes youtubers, actors, kpop groups, etc. they're real people and i feel that it is weird and icky to make that sort of content without their consent. thats a real person

these may change as i grow and i will likely do a post indicating it. thanks for reading all that.

anyways, even though im not technically new, i hope you all welcome me back to the community.

Hey saw and loved your Anime fanarts and especially your Talentless Nana art as well as the rest of your gallery and that picture inspired my own idea which I want you to draw, it's a fusion between my 2 all time favorite characters Bill Cipher and a older verison of Nana from Talentless Nana since I thought they'd compliment each other greatly! Thanks a bunch for reading and hope you're doing awesome!

thank you!! usually i would not take requests for ppl online like ever but this was such a funky one (in a good way!) that i kinda rly wanted to do it.. i honestly dont see the correlation between the two like at all but id love to hear your own thoughts if you wanted to shoot me a dm :3 it is an interesting idea.

you said older(?) nana so i went w a post-skip nana but im not entirely sure thats what you wanted..still this was a fun thing to doodle

[wszczebrzyszynie]

Do you have any tips for researching historical fashion? I am very interested in finding out about many different eras of fashion for many cultures it’s just that whenever I try I get stuck and am not sure where to find any interesting resources. Have a wonderful day!

Sorry this took so long. I almost wrote a book last time and decided its unreadable for anyone other than me. So here u go with the more general and better formatted tips:

• start simple! Get to know the place youre interested in. Get to know the time period as a whole. Fashion is a broad topic that varies from place to place, so its better to start with the general ideas, and get more into smaller details from that; most of the time that basic information is easily accesible online and in various historical fashion books im sure you can find in your local library (i know its hard to recognize which sites and books are actually knowledgable and which are not; usually i just do a background check on the author and see what sources they use in their work. But even with that, dont get too attached to the information you gain; sometimes it will be correct, and sometimes it will prove false, and thats okay. Thats why youre learning and thats why you have to compare different sources to each other)

• The further down the timeline you go, the more "local" fashion gets, and looking for clothing examples gets harder, so keep that in mind; more often than not, if you want to find something from a different culture than yours, you have to get friendly with google translator, especially if youre looking for way, way older clothes.

• the reason for that is, you will not only have to check foreign sites and blogs, but also foreign archives; and these are a hell to navigate. Theyre also one of the best things to ever exist on the internet. Theres plenty of free, publicly avilable ones, hosted by museums, libraries, universities or just existing by themselves, and they have everything; scans of books and fashion magazines, fashion plates, old photos, drawings and sketches, everything. Research papers are great too

• speaking of art; its always good to look for paintings and artists of that era and culture! I dont think i need to say more on that. Books are great too, though i mostly use them for other history related stuff, since they usually dont describe fashion much

• overall, learning fashion history is a long and often slow process... id love to give you examples of sites, blogs and everything else i use, but its all in polish and very focused on 19th century; which will be useless, unless its something youre interested in. So its very much a thing you need to look for yourself... i know there are lots of historical fashion youtubers, but i dont personally watch any of them; from what ive seen though i trust that they know what theyre talking about, esp the ones that actually wear and sew historical clothes and reconstructions... theyre often focused on the west, though. At least the ones i know of; feel free to recommend some in the notes. In general feel free to post more tips and sources in the notes

Hope this can help you somehow. I dont feel like its very helpful, but its the best i can offer, im afraid. My "area of expertise" is not only european, and therefore easier to research, but also written in my mother tongue; i do however often look for foreign folk clothes, so most of those tips were written from that experience. Sorry if this isnt what you looked for

[boiboiperson]

hello! beginner artist here, can i possibly have some art tips from you?

Uuuhhhh ummm uhhhh idk what I'm doing half the time and mostly just try again and again until it gets right, but here's some stuff I've learned along the way

-Proportionwise, the elbows end at the waist, the wrist at the crotch, one hand usually makes up one side of the face up to the brow but it can be a bit smaller or bigger, the thighs and lower leg bit is around the same I think and the feet is the length of the forearm. That's only really useful if you're going for a style that has more realistic proportions tho.

-Idk shite about colour theory but I abuse the hell out of the colour wheel. I like to use complementary colours (colours opposite the colour wheel) either to have the characters stand out against the background n other stuff or for character design eg. two friends who complement each other's predominant colours complement each other. Idk if that makes sense.

-Grain effect is yummy

-If you want a character design that's strong the silhouette is important. Base it off shapes and stuff. Like, if you drew the outline of a character, would you be able to draw in the main shapes that make it up? I don't really follow this since I rely more on fashion and facial/body features to differentiate my characters, but I've heard from a lot of artist that this is a good technique

-Bodyyyyyys. Different body types, different shapes. If you struggle with drawing different body types, you could try seeing what shapes make up the body, like if you have access to a digital art app you can download images of people with different body types and draw on the shapes as an excersize or something idk. But yeah separating them into shapes helps.

-Abuse the hell out of reference even if you look goofy doing it. I do it a lot with hands since they're hard to draw (separate them into shapes for help!)

-With drawing people of different ethnicities/races there's a lot I can say but ultimately don't draw them racistly, look up POC artists who give art tutorials since their word is best and try your best to integrate ethnic features into your style. There's a lot of tutorials online I'm too lazy to write everything out plus this post is already very long haha

-Idk how to draw backgrounds sorry mate I just wing it or use reference

-What's most important to remember is that your style is your own. It's great to take inspiration from other people, but if an artist tells you that your drawing is bad because of the style (like it's not even a proper critique to help you improve it's something petty like 'I dont draw eyes like that so you shouldn't either!') just ignore it because art is art.

Fuck I just read that you're a beginner artist and this is probably too much info. Uhhh hopefully at least some of this was helpful 👍

Hello hello! Long post ahead, but something important.

I will start this by saying that I am not usually someone to start controversies. I usually just answer them, but I think this is important to mention as an adult on this website.

I have been on tumblr for quite some time now. I would say, about 7 years? And have always tried to ignore some kinds of art content, since they leave me deeply uncomfortable, even now as an adult.

I would like to mention that I don't have anything against furries. I am not one myself, but I respect other people's likes and dislikes. My problem is that, since I have "Dislyte" as a Marker so I can access it faster, this is what apears:

Now, I can't even show the original post because I reported it, but from this one single shot you can clearly see whats drawn here. This one is even MORE explicit than the last Javid fanart that was here before.

I understand that people like the character. But the thing is, even if someone manually activates the censoring of NSFW content, it STILL can leave some things uncensored (correct me if this system is way better than before, please).

We can't forget that this is still a teens game. You can ask me "oh, but llama, i bet you consumed that kind of content when you were a teen!". And you would be partially right. I read a lot of fanfictions that werent appropriate for my age, but they had WARNINGS. I was aware of them. This doesn't look like the kind of art that should be posted on tumblr, on this community specifically. I bet there are a lot of other medias where you can put it on.

I think that drawings have a lot more impact than a fanfiction. You can clearly visualize it. So I beg that artists, please, think of what you post online.

With this I dont want to hate on the artist. I just want to spread awareness. People that have access to the post can also take a look at the comments, which were just downright filthy. Which, again, its not bad to express your "desires" for a character, but please, not on tumblr.

This got really long, and I am sorry if I offended anyone, since that wasnt my intention. I just want a healthy environment for kids to grow in!

Venting and rambling about ai art discourse

Feel free to ignore this + this isnt an invitation to argue back and forth with me about ai

My tag system on main for years now has been

#art = abstract art

#representational art = all non-abstract art

( + #dreamscape = art that can't be neatly categorized as abstract or representational + art that reminds me of dreaming )

Bc at the time I created this tag system i was very fed up with abstract art and modern art being dismissed as Not Real Art by some assholes and i wanted to put abstract art first in my space and have representational art be the one that needs a descriptor to differentiate it from "normal"/"real" art

Currently holding myself back from doing something similar to be petty about the never ending ai art backlash/discourse

Haven't been posting my abstract art or ai art online much lately but i still make a lot of both (+ getting back into writing and prob won't be posting much of that either). Sharing art online, other than with close friends, seems like hell to me rn.

Maybe someday i'll start posting my art again it just sucks that anytime i go on any social media from discord to youtube theres an 80% chance i see people shitting on the artistic mediums that i'm most passionate about

And its not like the ai hate train has slowed down the rancid attitudes around abstract art lol, not that I'd stop making AI art if abstract art was more respected

Abstract art is the easiest and most rewarding way for me to express myself creatively and it gels so well with my perfectionism issues bc perfection is Not the point (except when it is, but then its an artistic choice not a constant obligation for every piece). A piece about grief doesnt need to have perfect straight lines or symmetry, the art can be messy if it suits the tone I'm going for.

And AI image and music generation is very exciting to me! I've always been curious about what it would be like getting to see the creation of a new way of making art and its been very cool being able to somewhat follow AI innovations since 2018 and then get to experiment with it myself once more ai tools became accessible!!

Whether im the ai art im making is abstract or representational, i love not having full control over the result! I love bouncing ideas back and forth with the AI. I love having to combine my visual art skills and my language/description skills.

I use midjourney et al. the same way I'd make my OCs in dressup games while brainstorming ideas. Mindless doodling that can often lead to writers block breakthroughs.

I also use midjourney et al. to make quick vent art when I'm feeling strong emotions just like I'd do in my sketchbook or in my digital art apps.

And sometimes i'm using ai to spend hours trying to make something very specific i want to create.

Idk its all just tools to me. Midjourney. Paint Tool Sai. Pen and paper. I get the same joy/relief out of making art with all of the above

Im not aiming for fame or money, i make 0-200$ a year from art, usually 0. I just want to have a little corner of the internet to share my images and reach a handful of ppl who appreciate them and want to discuss abstract & ai art with me thats it. Im not coming for your art job, i dont allign myself with corporations aiming to further disadvantage workers in artistic industries or artists who freelance

Anyway reason #2 i slowed down on posting art is grief has been kicking my ass these past 4 years. Lots of deaths in the family + death of a friend. some relationships were fractured and im grieving those as well.

Reason #3 is started full time library job in november 🎉 its wonderful and its exhausting and im still finding my rythm after years of being chronically un(der)employed and/or in college, but hopefully once life settles down more ill have more and more time to spend on art and writing

Havent vent posted in ages and it feels weird doing it on one of my art blogs so im going to end this with two of my recent(ish) pieces on grief, first made in onelab (not ai, android art app i make 80% of my digital art in) and second in midjourney

Thanks if u read all/most/some of that :)

Think i just needed to be like "man this sucks" so i can move on to "anyway! Art time >:)"
