I keep forgetting to post my #artfight attacks from this year! I only got a few done because I was working on other projects but I had fun with these

My current murder mystery obsession recently led to me reading The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, a time loop murder mystery by Stuart Turton. It’s such a fantastically complicated book and I decided to make art of it (and a little cover mockup!)

I’m doing a bit of a social media detox for lent. Recently I’ve felt very overstimulated and overwhelmed by the internet, and I’m hoping that taking a step back for a bit will help me focus more on what’s important and allow me to spend more time making art.
See you in April!

I finally finished this drawing of my paladin character Amaryllis! I’d originally wanted to try to finish it before the campaign started a couple months ago, but I’m glad I took more time to polish it up.

Yesterday while I was half-asleep and flu-plagued I thought of a cool story concept only to realize several hours later that it’s just the plot of kung fu panda

Thought of a good metaphor for ai last night:
You’re having a picnic with friends. One person, instead of taking out a sandwich, steals pieces of everyone else’s sandwiches and throws it in a strange contraption that chews it up and spits out something *vaguely* sandwich-shaped. 1/2

A little self portrait I did a few days ago. I’ve been drawing one every couple years recently and it’s really cool to see the improvement between them! I decided to incorporate some cool colored lighting this time and stayed up til 4 am drawing 😅

I think I’m going to try to be more active on social media this year. I’ve had the mentality of “I wish not to be perceived” on the internet for so long, but unfortunately that doesn’t help when trying to find an audience for your art

I need to stop spending so much time thinking about big projects like a webcomic, illustrating my friends’ ttrpg, or too many animation ideas, and instead just finish some current projects. Because as much as I wish it would, Hypothetical Future Project™️ isn’t going to improve my portfolio right now

I rewatched Over the Garden Wall recently and wanted to draw something based on it, especially the last few episodes which are so dramatic and haunting.
I drew this yesterday but it’s pretty appropriate because today has been a snowy Halloween!

Here’s all the swords I drew for #swordtember! I got a bit behind in the last week, so I decided to just stop at 25 because I was burnt out, but this is still the closest I’ve gotten to finishing a daily drawing challenge!

#swordtember day 18: jester

This probably doesn’t do much damage, in line with the jester’s privilege of making harmless comments

#swordtember day 15: liquid

I know this is maybe pushing “sword” a little bit, but as the one I did yesterday already included liquid, I had to get creative

#swordtember day 14: poisonous

I took inspiration from those clear tip highlighters for this
