Painting and stuff
Paintings I did yesterday, going more into my little witchcrafty space program idea. Large open space illustrations aren’t my strong point, but this one came relatively good, maybe somewhat too empty, but it’s more like a story beat than a standalone painting, so it’s all good.

Did you wached The Hazbin Hotel? Well I recently finsihed sezon 2 with my gf, and we loved it. So I did little fanart. Really like how I was able to combine ascethic of this series with my style.

So a little painting I did, it took a short time to finish. In recent days I try my best to explore composition and subtle storytelling ideas, so the painting can convey something but not as a fully told story, instead just a glimpse of someone’s expirience.

Hi there! Little continuation on the witch theme. It’s basically an imaginary scene where magic is an actual thing and would probably somehow interact with physics or be a part of physics. So here we go, witchy physics lecture.

This is a painting I did for a tutorial on drawing night scenes, for the Clip Studio Paint monthly challenge. I think it turned out pretty good. I have time until Sunday to finish the whole project, so wish me luck ;p

An original character I designed like 2 weeks ago and totally forgot to post. The idea was pretty simple. It’s about taking a conventional fiction character, like an elf in this example, and giving it a little twist, like using a two-handed hammer and maybe giving a slightly punkish vibe.

Today was a designing kind of day. I’m working on a small personal project of mine. It’s basically the story of two girls who are some kind of semi-goddesses of sleep and death. This is the mid-way design work of the second one. Hope you enjoy it!

Do you know that feeling when you think you can draw pretty well, only to realize your skills fall apart the moment you switch from humans to anything non-human? Yeah, that’s me. Day 1 of studying animals — starting with cats. I’ll probably study animals once a week now on.

Were people or… mushrooms? Need help with that? A witch can help — or tell a good joke if the help you need is something other than getting someone cursed.

Sooooo yeah xd — the challenge didn’t go as planned. I was moving, and for a while I had to focus on life stuff.
BUT! I hope nobody thought this was the end. It was a break — a longer one, sure — but still just a break. Now I’m coming back with fresh energy and these practice paintings!

29/1000 Game stuff continues! Today I was working on actual assets that will hopefully make it into the game. This project is super fun — I can’t wait to start working on the characters!

28/1000 Painting/sketch of an in-game location. I’ve been flirting with concept art almost my entire artistic journey, but right now I feel like concept art and design are truly my thing when it comes to art.

25/1000 Tbh I thought this challenge would have a positive impact on my social media, meaning I’d have more than 2 followers. But actually, since I draw every day a lot, I feel so much more fulfilled with life in general. If you have any urge to draw, try it.

24/1000 Turnaround of the final design! I think this whole Cottagecore Braum is really coming together. Tomorrow I’ll probably start working on the in-game render as the final step.

23/1000 Today something different! Since I’m working on my portfolio for character/skin design, here’s a little sneak peek at a fan-made League skin for Braum — it’s Cottagecore Braum! We’ll see in a few days how well he turns out.

It’s 11:40 PM, so it still counts! But seriously — one quick painting session tonight. I tried a softer approach than usual; honestly, I like it, but my usual style speaks to me more on some level, I guess.

21/1000 — And let me tell you, sometimes it’s hard to draw every day 😅 but I managed to squeeze out this little thing. Hopefully it’s… well, something!

20/1000 — A bit of lighting experimentation today. I kinda like how it looks! I was struggling since there’s pretty much just one light source plus some bounce light, but I believe it turned out pretty good.

19/1000 Oh man, nothing was working today — one of those rough art days 😅 But hey, this is the best I could pull off, so I’ll take it!

18/1000 Today’s painting is simpler since I had a lot on my mind. But tomorrow, I’m planning to go all in with some new ideas — I already have a few in mind, so yeah, wish me luck!

17/1000 Here we go — today’s painting turned out pretty good! It reminded me that I really need to study armor (I have no idea how her shoulder is supposed to move, lol). As a bonus, you also get a mid-process shot and the reference.

16/1000 Simple painting today — I kept experimenting and starting over again and again, but this one’s probably the best out of the bunch.

15/1000 Here we gooo! This is my girlfriend’s OC that she wants to play in the next D&D campaign. They’re a toadstool that a sorcerer turned into a goblin — and their lifelong mission is to become a mushroom again! And if anyone didn’t guess — yep, she’s playing a barbarian gnome.
