I wish I had someone to practice my spanish with. It's not like it was that good to begin with, and now I feel like I barely remember anything at all. Maybe I'll pick up reading news articles or something like that.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

Hmm, maybe lineart and expressions/character interactions?

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

A course I am taking (because I can't find a job) ended with a passionate praises of AI from the teacher and some if the students. I don't want to give up on art, giving up on life is way easier, but I'm not allowed. I feel like everything is rotting alive and I just want out.

Last time I did a #portfolioday post was in 2024.
I guess I can endure the excruciating pain of making a new one.

I'm (slowly) building my own world!
Collage of two digital paintings. image on the left: Digital painting of a man called The Wanderer. His hair is short and white, with a teal green streak on the left bang, he has brown skin, and his brows and goatee are white. His left eye is also icy white, he has pointy ears, and he is wearing a feather shaped earring. He is wearing a hooded open vest, showing his bare chest, two elbow length gloves with both hands out. He has a sling bang and an obsidian black sword in a sheath hanging from his belt. His loin-cloth is teal colored and has a fish-tail shaped train on the back. Underneath is a pair of blue pants, and he is wearing a pair of cream colored boots with white and teal parts. His expression is serious and determined. The background is a vibrant blue sky with clouds on the horizon, and the ground he's standing on is a shoreline with the water directly mirroring the sky. Image on the right: Digital painting scene of an aquatic humanoid warrior, perhaps leading a battalion of other merfolk and aquatic warriors into an attack on land. The warrior general has thick, scaly silver skin, adorned in gold armor and plating, and he's wielding a giant golden axe with an odd shape. He's standing on an elevated rocky platform covered in moss, with three aquatic creatures surveying the attack alongside him. The creatures in the foreground have humanoid bodies, but heads of fish and merfolk. The same species of creatures can be seen rallying in the background. Lastly, there is a giant serpent towering the scene in the far back, it is pale in color, and it seems like it has a man-made golden structure attached to its face, like a helmet of sorts. Digital painting of a merfolk-monster mutant. The merman is mostly humanoid; with human legs and barely any aquatic features, but on the nape of his neck is a fleshy appendage, that tethers him to the spine of a giant, mutated anglerfish, as if he's the lure and bait instead of a faintly glowing appendage. The merfolk is floating above the large and open jaws of the anglerfish. Digital painting of a giant ominous man, sitting cross legged, levitating in the sky, surrounding by flying giant oarfish, overlooking structures and buildings. The man is a merfolk; mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot. Around him are dozens of giant oarfish, rising from the sea and floating mid-ar. Beneath them are deserted buildings, homes and infrastructures. Digital painting of Patsu.X's KaiJune entries. It's a layout showcasing all 11 creature designs of the series so far.

I did finish up my first sculpture of 2026. Some times I can only help things by bringing joy to folks.
So have a squish of beasts!

Tools matter and asking about tools is 100% fine; nobody thinks a particular brush is a shortcut to competence, they simply like the effect.

"The Quack of Dawn" or "Patkozorje"(🇷🇸)
The Quack of Dawn, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A green Stojadin car with ducks riding on it and a sleepy cat on the bonnet is left deserted by an overgrown electricity pole in a field of red poppies. It's sitting surrounded by undulating clouds, waves and almost abstract organic shapes in a wide-angle look.

Stolas and Blitzø standing in front of each other, but they are drawn in old Demonology style (funny and a little bit derpy but drawn with a lot of ink hatching). Blitzø is holding grimoire in one of his hands and gesturing with his other hand

You know these days when you start spiralling out of fucking nowhere? Like, I have enough of pattern recognition to know if I try to power through it I'll start crashing out, but I can't find anything to distract me enough for a reset as everything seems too much and not enough at the same time.
