Work By Raine @wyraine.com · 28d
I unpinned my first serious about-post bc it needed to be updated. I tend to have a new one ready at the start of each year, so I figured I would just wait until then. :P In the mean time, here's a little bit about me for anyone who stumbles upon my work otherwise.
LIST: BFA in Animation, MA in Illustration, Full Time Job. 28 years old. I have friends and people I care about who care about me, who don't just provide me with delusional lip service and actually try to help me solve problems. I've started my own Studio Practice. I have a wide variety of skills and interests pertaining to the arts and beyond. I did not break out into the industry with my unique perspective and skillset, but I have been the envy of people equally as talented and practiced, or even moreso. I did not realize how deeply I was being overlooked and mistreated until recently, and I only have myself to blame. I aspire to be in spaces where my voice is reached by people who are willing to learn, who are willing to change their minds, who are willing to do the work. One day, I want to teach. I've spent my time cultivating insight and now I'm going to use it. I've spent a lot of my life trying to get along with people who actually, just suck. It's nobody's fault, but I can only be responsible for myself, so I'm learning how not to do that anymore. I am not Terminally Online. I do not know and I do not care.

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Show us how you draw armour!
It really depends on what I'm trying to do. I have many knights so I'm keeping it simple for now... #workbyraine
Swordtember 2025, Day 23 (my birthday!), the theme of Owls with the Raptor Knight and various sketches... Four knights in vastly different fantasy armors. A dark skinned knight in black armor, wielding a polearm. A dark skinned space-knight in golden armor, wielding a rifle and a helm.

The Sketching Shall Continue Until Morale Improves 😤 #sketchtag #workbyraine
A young fella' with curly anime hair holding a phone and looking to the right (our left). The symbols next to them are Mars and an altered planetary symbol that denotes "neutrois" A young black woman looking to the left (our right). The symbol next to her is Venus, but the line crossing the circle denotes "neutrois" The author's interpretation of Anansi the Spider, hunched forward and prowling on all of his arms reminiscent of a kind of monster. He says aloud "I'm gonna' smash yer head in, little lady" to someone in particular. They know who they are. The same character from the first drawing in an entirely different context. They are holding the decapitated head of a monster shaped like a tiger, and the freshly killed corpse of a smaller monster shaped like a bird. :) It's a metaphor.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin

Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

Gleefully drawing humanoid character designs for guys that aren't at all human. #kirby #kirbyairriders #workbyraine #wyraineocs
Four figures titled by strange alien text. They were heavily inspired by four characters from a particular beloved niche game franchise.

New illustration on Russel Vought, the self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist behind much of Project 2025, and now the Cabinet member currently in charge of slashing funding and workers from any federal agency he and the president don’t like.

perhaps it is a millennial disease, this sort of juvenile clinging to ‘cosy’ narrative. a world free of suffering or consequence, a convenient world, ignoring the work. Ignoring the work entirely

There's the illusion of progressiveness and then there's actually real tactile forms of progressive modes of thought and behavior. I don't associate with the former, my work and time only for the latter. I disengage with people who are disinterested in real, quantifiable progress. Everyone should.

Started playing #okami again and I'm reminded of this old sketch I did like 5 years ago. I started drawing my OCs with okami art direction

#art #wolf #amaterasu #okamiden #sketch #digitalsketch #wolf #cloverstudio #capcom #workbyraine
A white wolf with red eyeliner and body paint (as well as a white circle in the center of their head) stands poised to attack. It carries on its back a bronze(green) disk surrounded by orange flames. It is alone on an off-yellow white background. This is the god Amaterasu from the game franchise, Okami, penned by the author.

Stumbled upon old rough concepts for a #TTRPG I was working on. Opened up the document and I'm tickled that a lot of my ideas still hold up! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #warlock #fantasyart #illustration #characterdesign #fairy #ghost #vampire #gameprojects #shackleproject #art #digitalart #workbyraine
On a yellow background a pink woman sits atop a green bush. The woman has long dark mauve hair that curls and cascades behind her. She smirks, with her right hand index finger curled beneath her lip, while her left hand rests. She has simple tribal like paintings on her extremities and body. A single sharp, insectoid wing pokes out behind her figure. She wears a pleasant, amused smirk. Her fingertips are painted solid. She is meant to be representative of fairies. On a red background, a pale woman wrapped in a blue hood and frock dress with white undertones stares out into the distance with a neutral expression. Her hair is a deep, almost black, shade of blue that floats in defiance of gravity. Her eyes are solid yellow with no pupils. Her arms are straight down, pressed together by the hands in a V shape, as if she is propping herself up. She is meant to represent ghosts or specters. On a denim blue background, two figures stand. On our lefthand side is a woman with dark gray skin. She wears a black dress beneath gray accents, as well as a sharp gray mask that resembles a bird's beak. Her hair is a darker shade of gray than her skin, but not darker than her dress. It is long and straight. She is frowning. On our righthand side, standing slightly before the other figure, is a stalwart, stiff man with pale green skin. His hair and coat are the same shade, an almost brown shade of burgundy red meant to look as if it were black awash with color. He has a handlebar mustache that resembles fangs and yellow eyes. Though his expression is relatively neutral, his quaffed hair and sharp eyebrow suggest displeasure. The temple of his hair starts a thick streak of gray. While the woman is meant to be ambiguous, the man is definitely meant to resemble a vampire. On a green background, a completely yellow figure sits floating. Its face is obscured by darker yellow shadowing. No facial features are present, but the silhouette of its face shape can be seen beneath the hood. It wears a strange ornate robe adorned in square shaped braids and tassels that lift into the air. Its floating is otherwise unremarkable.

An elvish man with African Brown skin, wearing black armor and taupe underlay. In his right hand he's comfortably holding a large polearm with a flat axehead and diamond speartip. His left arm is raised, with a finger extended, supporting a blue dragonfly like insect. A gentle, inviting smile is on his face as he beholds the creature, looking downward at it, obscuring his irises. He has long black dreadlocks that are woven together in a bun, secured by a pink hairtie, with a single large braid draping his right cheek down to his pectoral area. He is backed by a blue sky. The year this image was authored, 2023, sits above his elbow over his bent left arm.
