36yo nonbinary Artist/animator working in the mobile games industry, but this will be a space for my personal art
Every year my work hosts an art gallery at the office that anyone in the company can enter, called "Artists Among Us". This year's theme was "storybook", so I did my take on the classic "Where the Wild Things Are" and gave the vibe a bit of a medieval spin. Loved seeing my friends at the party 🥳

Quick drawing I did of my little cousin, since she sent me a cute drawing thru snail mail ❤️ mostly this is for her dad though, my uncle fought hard to stay in her life and he's an amazing dad. He lost his awesome art collection years ago so, I'm hoping this will help rebuild it even a tiny bit.

Added a few new patches recently to my Star War jacket, and ...finally washed it! I've never washed it in the 5 years I've owned it 💀
All the patches are hand-sewn on...it was originally my pandemic activity. I find it relaxing #starwars #kylux #firstorder #kyloren #hux #princessleia #darthvader

Don't waste time or energy on people who don't add positively to your life experience. You can choose who's a part of your life.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Would anyone be interested in portrait sketch commissions? I'm also capable of animating them. Guess I should come up with some examples to show y'all though

Hello! I’m an illustrator from Chicago and I love drawing lil friends and lil guys ✨ I also really like drawing myself for some reason. My work is primarily digital, heavy on the Procreate. I travel to various cons/art shows/events so please say hello if you ever see me! 😀 #art #artists

This is my best friend Sterling. They've been trying SO hard. The goal is big but any little bit helps. If you donate at least $20, send me proof and I'll sketch your portrait ♥️ or anyone of your choosing.
