That’s more than one video a day omg am I ok? Is this a SmallAnt addiction?
I just like to have stuff on in the background while I draw and Smant has some super long VODs 😭

Image is of a YouTube recap detailing how many videos from Smallant’s VOD channel I have watched in 2025. 412 videos, making me in the top 0.2% of viewers

Another portrait commission! This is the beautiful Melody! That hand took me waaaaay too long 🥲

I’m slowly getting through all the portrait commissions so if you’re still waiting on a progress update from me, expect one this week 💕 #digitalart

Symmetry tool coming in clutch for this one 😂
I honestly don’t know why it gets such a bad wrap. I think it’s fine so long as you turn symmetry off towards the end to allow for some asymmetry ✨

Just a classic, on-brand portrait of an elf 💕

I think I’m finally settling into a painterly style I am happy with, I just need to work on clarity in the messier areas with more intentional brush strokes but I am getting closer to achieving my goal 😊

I finally finished the #samdoespausechallenge ✨
13 hours total 😶

I think I’m slowly finding a nice balance between detail and loose, painterly texture 💕

Trying to reimagine an OC because she looks so much like Shadowheart even though I started designing this OC before I’d ever seen BG3 😭

When an antagonist appears too ✨ innocent ✨ to be evil 🖤

Working on developing a character. She is 💯 doing all the wrong things for right reasons, and hopefully will learn her lesson because I also love a good redemption arc when is earned 💕
