Experimenting with that very particular style of album art I see in some 90s-00s stuff (namely Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson, Adrenaline by Deftones, and Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence by Glassjaw)

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

Really been having fun drawing facial features lately. And hair. And just headshots in general
#ocsky #art #oc #originalcharacter
Traditionally drawn headshot of a man with messy hair, facial piercings, tattoos on his neck and forehead, and a smug expression on his face. Traditionally drawn headshot of a man with short cut hair, dark veins on his face, a cross scar on his forehead, and a halo of thorns. Traditionally drawn headshot of a boy with curly hair, freckles, a burn scar on his face and neck, and a rather scornful facial expression. Traditionally drawn headshot of a boy with flat hair swept to the side and small scars on his face.

This is a PSA for anyone who follows artists: Your comments are NOT annoying! I think I speak for many of us we are starved for praise on our work so please if you have something to say lay it on thick WE LIKE IT. I promise you it is not seen as cringe or a bother, we love the interaction!

Bug Boy Dreams
painting of a boy dreaming about being small and hanging out with bugs. In the upper left is him asleep, all in blue. The rest of the image is brightly coloured, he's walking along smiling looking at a cicada, his hand on the back of a millipede.
