Since I came to Japan I’ve had to struggle a lot with my hair. I can’t really go to salons, and I can’t really do it myself well. I’m left with just keeping it short most of the time… but if I’m honest, I still struggle with feeling feminine when I have short hair. #illustration #characterdesign

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎂😁👍🎉 I'm Rob and check out my indie cartoon series called Literally Hell! Enjoy. 👇🦋👍 m.youtube.com/watch?v=mImK... Tags: @md2004.bsky.social @alexsanlyra.bsky.social @krissydiggs.bsky.social @elenaswan.bsky.social 👍👍👍

Another fun way AI is ruining my creative life: I really need to invest in a secondhand Mac Studio for work, and I've been saving up for a while to do so. I went to check now that I finally hit enough, and the price has nearly DOUBLED thanks to them being popular in AI circles. FML. #FuckAi

Being busy is technically a good thing! But I haven't had much time to draw anything just for fun. So I made myself spend time doodling something so my brain doesn't explode. #illustration #DigitalArt

The worst part about being really busy with the work that I've been doing is that I can't share any of it. T_T

It’s not my birthday yet omg. I have been sick for like 4 days and I totally thought today was 22. lol

Finally got the face right 😮‍💨 Had to finally break down and invest in tiny brushes. My sad shaky hands did their best. It’s soooo close! #serialExperimentLain #painting #traditionalArt #wip

Two truths; one lie. - I once danced with Tom Green at a silent disco. - I used to hold the record for the longest pogo stick attempt. - I was featured in an episode of Queer Eye.

All that to say.... I need to find a way to earn a new computer. Soooo commissions are definitely open. 😂

I hate how fast technology loses steam these days. I feel like I just got my laptop, but already I am greatly in need of a new computer. I think this time I'm gonna go with a desktop for the first time in a while. Probably a used Mac Studio. Does anybody have one? Do they like it? Need opinions.

I was watching The Crow (the original one) while working on a painting... and I couldn't shake the idea that it would probably be less cheesy if it were an anime. So I doodled it. Hehe. I can't be the only one who thinks this, right?? #illustration #fanart #digitalart #Crow

I'm getting better at blending what I learn from traditional back into my digital, I think. 🤔 (This is from a project I'm working on right now) His shirt is via: eyepatchwolves.com/products/cro... @getinthegustaff.bsky.social #illustration #digitalIllustration #DigitalArt

OOOhhh I've been busy! Sorry for the silence! Here's something I've been working on for a bigger project I can't show you just yet. ;) #digitalArt #illustration #CharacterIllustration #blackArtist

Happy new year~! 2026

I’ve decided next year that the way I’ll try getting better will be the way I got better at digital art. 3 colors. Just 3. But I have yet to decide what those colors will be… 🤔

It’s way too easy for people to be mean to each other online. I’m trying consciously to not be that person. I hope more people try to, too.

🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄 @kaato.bsky.social got me #holbein #Guache for Christmas!!! 🤩 Time to test them out!

A very handsom little lad :') #cats

Progress on the final piece. Slowly but surly coming along! My studio space is not hip or glamorous, sorry. 😅 Maybe I should do a very unglamorous studio tour someday? 🤔😅 #painting #illustration #SEL #LetsAllLoveLain

By no means am I good at sewing… but I’m proud of it!! To give you some context, this is Bongo! A character I created a few years back now when I was first getting to know my future stepson. He recently misplaced the original stuffy I made, so I thought I’d try to improve on the original. TRY. lol.

I might be terrible at this….

Working on a Christmas present. 🙈

It was a really fun commission!! Thank you Grint for the fun challenge! 🩷

BOWOWOW #e33

I find myself watching other people play #E33 just so I can vicariously experience the wonder of playing the game for the first time again. lol

Today's #watercolor #doodle is playing a game of fowl. 😏 Male peacocks get all the fun... but still, I wanted to play with their feathers. #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalArt #blackartist

Holy cow!! I can't believe we hit 1,000 so soon! Thank you so so so much for following me along on my journey to self-improvement. It's been really motivating. I've been super creative thanks to you. ❤️ Super quick one! This one is for you guys. ❤️❤️❤️ #doodle #sketchbook #illustration #TraditionalArt

Today is a #commissions kind of day. I worked on three different commissions all day haha. Here's one of the sketches that I really like the vibe of so far. Moody moods all around... PLUS corgi. <3 #sketch #digitalart #sketchbook #illustration #blackartist

The #FaeOfTheDay (yeah, it’s officially a thing! Hehe) 2.5 hours. This is my first time drawing in my big girl watercolor book instead of my sketchbook. Finally got up the nerve haha. How’d I do? I’m getting the hang of #watercolor again. #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalArt #blackartist

REVISIONS. What do you think? Which do you like better? This one or the one I did yesterday? I THINK I like this composition better? 🤔 #SEL #sketchbook #traditionalArt #illustration

A little bit of fairy doodle before bed. :3 Finding the harmony between my digital style and my traditional style is fun~~ #illustration #blackartist #fairyart #watercolor #marker #sketchbook

Working on a #commission. Can you tell what #anime? I don't always do fan art... but when I do, it's always fun. #fanart #illustration #traditionalart #watercolor #marker

Up next is Hunie!! My personal favorite. The MLM queen. She stays in the DMs of all of her contacts, and she’s always got a herbal solution to your delusional problems. I love her. :3 #illustration #characterdesign #sketchbook #gamedev

Just watched a video about NanoBanana3 and now I feel… depressed. 😔

Officially working on a big game project next year satirizing the skuzzy nature of capitalism! I’m doing all the art for it. 😱 Gonna need a lot of moral support lol! Literally drawing art for over 100 cards PLUS original art! First character design! #illustration #characterDesign #sketchbook

BONUS! Super quick doodle, trying to do my very best Amano impression. lol. Super quick. Janky hands. Shhhh. #Sketchbook #Doodle #blackartist #Illustration

#sketchbook page time! Another fairy today. I'm really in a fairy kind of mood recently. #watercolor #marker #acrylic #doodle #blackartist

This shit would be absolutely hilarious if I didn't hear executives chomping at the bit about how to do this for their own projects... INSANE. Anime dubbing has come SOOO far to only become this...?

Sketchbook page for today. #sketchbook #doodle #blackartist

I don’t always doodle fan art… but when I do, it’s when I’ve discovered a black main character in a mainstream manga! #Desscaras from #ichiTheWitch My heart!!! 💜 I’ve never seen a female black main character in a Japanese manga be so interesting and multifaceted, AND MOST OF ALL, CUTE! 🥰

Today's doodle. #illustration #sketchbook #blackartist

I quit Adobe today. It's just too FUCKING expensive man.

As I set off on this "traditional art journey", I'm remembering the hardest part for me... TAKING PICTURES THAT LOOK GOOD. D: Because of the colors I use, I am having just an awful time trying to capture the vibe. Any advice? (my latest attempt + style mods) #traditionalart #Watercolor #sketchbook

So the big project I’m working on is comic related. I’m trying to sort out which hair I like best. I have an idea of what I like… but I’m curious to know what you guys think? What’s your fav letter? #illustration #watercolor #blackartist

I’m working on something silly though. #sneakpeek

I has a sick. 🤧

Peace Lily

My drawing study of Nanaco Yashiro’s (one of my most favorite illustrators) eyes. I love how they feel like characters. #watercolor #illustration

The VOD of the emergency stream -- where I had to drop everything and bash my head against the bizarrely bad Silent Hill 2 movie trailer -- is up! Dunno how region-locked it'd be, but it's not monetized cuz I doubt that'd fly copyright-style lol youtu.be/LwW1OEFVRDo
