The man truly canā€™t take a genuine compliment šŸ™„
#my art stuff#digital art#baldur's gate 3#bg3#astarion#astarion ancunin#this is part of a series I like to call ā€œIā€™m never settling on a singular detailed artstyleā€#I have no consistency in drawing realistic people/characters other than my shapy cartoon style#but I truly donā€™t get enough opportunity to properly shade anything with art in that style-!!! it always looks weird to me-!!!!!#I think some rude lil worm in my brain is wriggling around telling me itā€™s a futile attempt at still doing realism#cus Iā€™m one of those ā€œgiftedā€ artists that grew up promising his parents heā€™ll end up among the big names or whatever#constantly training to become better at art but with realism oil paintings as the goal#you know how it is šŸ˜”#I wanna shade my lil funky designs but they never feel good enough to really put energy into or whatever so I compromise with stuff -#- like this where I try to draw characters more accurately while still stylizing them and shading them however I feel like it#which is great and all but I should really learn to give my more relaxed and less perfectionist art a chance#I deserve to enjoy the process and the result without working myself dead#itā€™s so much easier and rewarding to copy cartoon styles - stylizing realism makes me too anxious of doing it ā€œwrongā€#at least cartoon styles give me a goal to reach or a reference to strive towards#man I really should just cut myself some slack altogether#either way - this man is a flustered mess and heā€™s embarrassed about being called adorable in public or something#being teased in an affectionate way about his sweeter side and stuff#donā€™t ask why heā€™s shirtless - anatomy is just a lot more fun for me to draw sometimes#tasteful nudity and all that is extremely gorgeous to me#i need to practice anatomy more cus I just kinda did some shit and went with it this time with a BIT of consideration for muscle structure
