#my art stuff#digital art#baldur's gate 3#bg3#astarion#astarion ancunin#this is part of a series I like to call āIām 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 donāt 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 itās a futile attempt at still doing realism#cus Iām one of those āgiftedā artists that grew up promising his parents heāll 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 š#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#itās so much easier and rewarding to copy cartoon styles - stylizing realism makes me too anxious of doing it āwrongā#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 heās embarrassed about being called adorable in public or something#being teased in an affectionate way about his sweeter side and stuff#donāt ask why heās 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
