The Forest of the Lovers
(Inspired by the fact that apart from one person, everyone I hang around the most, be it family or friends, is either married or engaged, and it gets to me when I'm feeling down.)

I've recently been obsessing over Regis again, so you get to see some Regis art.
(I tried a new way to shade and my wrist hated it.)

Busy having gay thoughts, even though I swore I was taking a mental health break from dating apps. (I have a thing about sun and moon. And elves.) #digitalart #gay #sun #moon #sunandmoon

Oh, and btw, here are the main characters of the comic I'm working on (slowly), and trying to get funding for.
I was trying to draw better pictures of them, but I ended up doing armor and sword research, so here's an older picture. 🥲

From last year, how ever still relevant every day. As a person on autism spectrum, I enjoy structured days, and the idea of being a freelancer and having changing schedule terrifies me. However, I am also yet to find work as an employee, and it's starting to affect on how I see myself as an artist.

More of my OC's from my longer story. (Probably should focus on the story I try to work on, but I found these from my iPad, so..)
