Some things to bear in mind when drawing bears 🐻

My most elaborate drawn tutorial to date (because yes, I draw these traditionally), but I really wanted all the info posted at once instead of in multiple parts, so here we are.

Once again I have made the same mistake I always do lately in rushing my sketches and thereby having to basically redo them before I can get properly stuck into lineart, so here's a thread on how not to fuck up your sketches and get them right the first time.

So, what is your sketch layer for? 🧵

Hey everyone!!!

I know I am so, so late on this, but I am finally doing my 5k and 10k art raffles!!

To enter the raffle, please follow, like, and RT!!! 💚
Photo of seven of my art prints on a wood drafting table, attempting to show them all in natural lighting. From left to right: 1) Limited edition embellished print of the King of Wands, done for Corrupted Tarot. It features A young man with red hair and a crown sits in a dilapidated throne room on a throne made of stone and human bones. Mosses and mushrooms overgrow everything, including his staff. He sits in the ashes of his glory, his eyes glowing resentfully like dying coals in a fire. A raven lands on his stave, mocking him. 2) Print of Reclamation III, with silver foil embellishments of the mushrooms. This print is of A portrait of a pale young woman with white hair and closed eyes. Lunar moths fly around her, and mushrooms grow out of her upper chest, left eye, and right brow bone. 3) Dying for a Cup of Tea poster print with gold embellishments. It features A black and white painting of a skeleton with a Victorian-style updo and dress. She is holding a cup of tea, from which steam swirls back and around to frame the head. The text says: “Dying for a cup of tea.” 4) "I Didn't Bother about the Meat" print, with gold embellishments. It's of That Scene in Harrow the Ninth with Harrow and Ianthe. 5) The Mad Priestess print, featuring A sorceress with long black hair and holding a magical spear summons Cthulhu, while an ancient temple crumbles around her. 6) Art print of work done for Haunt Publishing's Unthinkable: A Queer Gothic Anthology. It is of a night sky with a downward-pointing crescent moon, a skull sits on an overgrown tree stump. Bits of wood form a crescent moon shape behind it. A dagger is stuck in the top of the skull, with a pommel stone reflecting light, which forms a circular pattern with a rainbow overlaid. 7) Print for "Unmasked", featuring silver eye embellishments. A figure in an old-fashioned dress holds their own head in their hands, as though they had just removed it. A creature made of black smoke is climbing up out of their neck.

Remember, creating art is a skill that has to be learned. It takes time, practice, and patience, so never beat yourself up or be disheartened if what you've put on your canvas isn't exactly what you pictured in your head! (1/2)

For those of you who have noted that Substack is basically a Nazi Bar and you’re looking for a place to move your writing to, the info in this thread may be an option worth looking into.

I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values.

Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x

First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +

Doing some faux / custom Coat of Arms designs for Dungeon Coursers (the horse art game) and loving it! What a surprise XD

Let’s start with a more traditional heraldic shield design~

Lean into your passions and interests. It doesn't matter what other people think YOU should or shouldn't be doing, when that is only their opinion. You create your happiness.
If you like MtG, play it. If you want to cosplay then do it. Watch anime. Collect stamps. Wear bright colors. Read smut.

Have to keep creating in spite of it all, no matter what. For the joy of it, the love of it, for the catharsis it brings. I can’t let anyone else take that.

More horse things and a bit of an experimental painting style - more texture, simplified shapes, more mood / atmosphere.

Would anyone be interested in these as potential comm offerings? Thinking $60 - $80 USD range

More horses! This one part of a trade for another user. c:

And you can see some of the “polish” I usually put on finished pieces, especially fully rendered ones (although this one is flat color).

A long eared, wavy maned, fluffy horse. His coat is black with light grey muzzle and vertical white stripes down his face. He’s wearing several piercings on his nose and a red collar. This version of the image has additional shading & lighting, as well as a textured background. A long eared, wavy maned, fluffy horse.

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven.
For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨
colorful key splash art for Project Dragon- a group of adventurers (a musical ocarina golem, a rider mounted on a wyvern, a dimunutive cat person and a pet pinoceros) crest a hill over a sun-drenched landscape with billowing clouds and distant ruins. In the sky above, a character composed of constellations spreads their 6 arms and welcomes them to the world.
