Before being a streamer I used to be an environment concept artist for video games. With the current state of the world, I lost all ambition to do art. Recently though I started missing it a lot. I think I'll go back to basics and explore ways to find the spark again.

erm i was not prepared for hitting 400 so soon! i will just post some of the stuff i am working on, i would love to see what you all are working on too! post a WIP :D

details in alt for how different things are going ^_^

long-term wip of my current DnD character, Cassana. she is an 11th level gorgon Druid of the Stars.

a teal woman with a cute face, turqoise snakes for hair, and large round brass glasses. her eyes are a vibrant orange with slit pupils and dark sclera. she has a friendly expression (i hope thats how it looks :D)

a wip of Naya Zhdeniye, my beloved paladin i played in a previous campaign. she was a 15th level Oath of Twilight (custom subclass) paladin, and a wholesome, overstatted, juggernaut of an adventurer

a dark-skinned half-elf woman with long white braids and large purple eyes. she is wearing a half-finished set of complex purple-and-gold full plate armor

F from star wars visions. i think i wanna clean some stuff up and properly finish her. idk shes kinda cool i like her

a pale woman with deep, midnight hair, undercut on one side and pulled into narrow bangs in the middle. she has deep blue eyes and wears a futurist black-and-blue mask

an almost-abandoned wip (that i think im gonna finish soon™) inspired by 156/silence's album People Watching (specifically the song Character Development). its gonna be so edgy when its done im kinda excited. i love this album

a feminine demon with large curling horns. her eyes are all black except for a thin red ring. she has markings from from her cheekbones down to her chin

OC - Obneus and Lunete - A portrait of two characters, they are super close to each other, breathing out after a deep kiss. The one on the left is human, with tied up black crow hair in ponytail with an undercut. The one of the right is teal colored, long whitish hair. They are both holding the head of the other, in a different way. One holds it gently to the jaw, teasing on the chin, and the other is holding it from behind.

$Page of a character, profile, long red hair flowing all around her, white porcelain skin and gold earring and hairpin. A panel is on the bottom right, focus on her golden eye, fractured. A text says "If eyes are the mirror to the soul... What do mine show ?"$

OCs, Ivemylla, half-elf is sitting before a long blond haired man, her half-brother : Liazar. He wears a long blue robe and a black shirt as there is a gold accent on the tip of it. He is bending over her, smiling, holding her face toward the mirror after she got ready before meeting her future family in law. One of his finger touches her lips, keeping a mark of her lipstick on it. The other hand is presenting her. Her long white hair are attached in a bun with long strand hanging under it. A lot of pearls are pinned in it, same on her transparent dress' part. She looks cold, off.
The window is behind them, showing a late day light.

OCs Lyuu (right) and Minuit (left)
Two characters are standing, facing each others. The man, human looking, is showing his back to the viewer, short brown hair, scar on the right side of his face, smiling. He wears a purple shirt, his hand is holding the face of the other character.
The woman (elf looking) is looking at the man, coming from above like she jumped off somewhere, wearing a green armor. She has long black hair, tied up as a high tail, going into smoke on the tips. She has a very tender look and smile, holding the face of the man with her hand, which is black.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

As it's tradition, I suppose I may ask for shares on my birthday~ ⭐

Some of my favorite works from this year, which was much more focused on Seelys than before.
I can't tell what's in story for my creative hobbies. Maybe some animation, mini painting or trying gamedev again ?
