I felt like my art recently had too many pixels, so went back to 64x64 for the #lightning daily over at #pixel_dailies ...I just now realised the theme was #thunder. ... ... ...Just pretend it has sound, ok? 😅 I am *genuinely* heartbroken right now LOL #pixelart #ドット絵

I've owed my sister "gift art" for about...3 years 😅 She wanted books, plants, cats, and witchy occult vibes, so I spent too darn long hyper-fixating on teeny pixels to build her dream, a greenhouse library 🕯️🌿 (Overgrown to represent the long wait she had 😂, sorry Kate)

Starting to think my pixel art lane is more “fake game-menu illustration” than “actual game sprite pipeline” Which is good, because game sprites keep beating me with a pixelated chair as I beg for mercy... *ahem* anyway here's a uhm, stacked demon mage 😅 #pixelart #ドット絵 #digitalart

Side quests are *Optional*...so that means I can totally just rush the main boss, right? ...riiiight?? #pixelart #ドット絵

Gift art for my colleague, the lead singer of The Human Error! 🤘 Punk lovers, go check them out and tell them who sent you: www.youtube.com/@thehumanerr... 😜 #pixelart #ドット絵

Sentient swords: bad roommates, great night lights. #pixelart #ドット絵

Some days, the yawnies sneak up on ya Some days, you embrace them #pixelart #ドット絵

Idk I vowed I'd never do animation again... ...then I decided to 'do a #pixelart era' - this was my take on the classic "bouncing ball" animation practice thing. Somehow the added dangly bits look (to my weary brain) like little amongus figures worshipping their neon slime-cat deity...and yeah 😂

POV: Me at 1 HP trying to out-heal the boss's attacks through sheer "Minor potion of Healing" spam I feel as though we've all been there 😜 #Pixelart

It's midnight. I need food. I can't stop. Pixel art might be my new addiction (until sleep resets my brain, anyway) I think this second attempt improves upon the first, but what do I know pffftshhh #pixelart I guess? 😅

I rarely (Ever? 😅) repost, but....yeah - this one deserved it This has been my life for the last....year?Ish? However long since the initial ruling came into force - Yesterdays addition just hammered it home. Been difficult to explain *it* friends, but...as always, art is the answer.

My Brain: PIXEL ART! Me: But, I have no idea how to do it? Brain: PIXEL. ART Me: But...should I look at a tutorial first? Brain: ONLY PIXEL ART Me: But it'll be awful and *probably* break all the rules and make *actual* pixel artists sad? Brain: P.I.X.E.L A.R.T Me: *sigh* #pixelart I guess?

Based on a true story; The cube thoughts followed me into the bath 😅 Kinda missed doing digital, so this happened 🛀🧊

People: “Amy, why haven’t you posted an actual picture in ages? It’s all janky studies lately.” Me: *gestures vaguely at the horrible failed attempt* This is why. Apparently I'm in the “I can draw exactly enough to know everything's TERRIBLY WRONG” phase 🙃 Yeahhhhh. I need to reflect hard RN.

Got this far into a sketch using newfound ✨cube knowledge✨ before I realised... ​I've flat out forgotten EVERYTHING. 😭 Spent 5 minutes staring at the neck before I got sad and moved on. ​Anyone else get sudden art amnesia? Please tell me it's temporary 😅

Even at work, there is no escape from... ...the cubes. 🥲 Is this like when you're expecting a kid and you see babies everywhere? Cubes are now my offspring.

I didn't think it was possible, but I found something I suck at more than drawing hands - Drawing cubes to learn perspective. What, how, where, WHY. I'm going to bed 🥲😭😭😭

Day two of grinding torso studies and trying to find a system my feeble brain actually accepts. Dopamine is gone. Snacks are gone. Hope is gone. Send help. Or Doritos.

(just) Woke up today -> Jumped in shower -> Suddenly started convincing myself that returning to animation would be a great idea. Someone, anyone, please convince me that it would, in fact, be a terrible idea. Trust me, I quit for a reason. Probably... ...Brb after coffee 😅

Trying to build figure-drawing confidence with aphantasia? Nightmare fuel 😂😭 I’ve dodged lower body studies long enough, and now anatomy is kicking my ass. Bad news: I can’t draw the ass either. Today’s science: “Pelvis = chunky leg dock” “One leg = support” “One leg = drama” We love drama leg.

The eternal 'Day off Dilemma' Make something pretty enough to post ✨️ for the dopamine ✨️ OR Do ugly little practice studies that actually level me up ...or... play the new Diablo 4 DLC 🥲 I fear the demons are winning.

After the chaos of today’s previous attempts at art, I accidentally made something with profile picture energy. Huzzah.

That feeling when you accidentally drop Marmite on your sketch and it ruins your whole day 😭😭😭 Ok next piece I'm sticking with digital 😅

Figured I'd try a different 'flavour' today, accidentally created a lunchroom assassin. You could say that today was...'a bust' *rimshot* Yeah, I'll see myself out 😅

'Practice gesture drawing,' they said. 'It’ll improve your art,' they said. Pfftssh. *THEY LIED* I don’t know how people speed-run this and have it come out amazing—mine is pure nightmare fuel unless I spend way too long on it, which kind of defeats the purpose! 😅

Back is borkkkkked again. Medical advice said to "loosen up," so I took it out on my linework. We have officially regressed to the chicken scratch era. I blame the painkillers 😂 #sketch #artistsky

Just leaving this here for future me

Wow I’m gonna be so productive today. I’ll do a nice sheet with 4 expressions, full emotion, all that jazz. *finishes one* “Nooo keep pushing!” *Barely starts the second, immediately disintegrates* ...Yeah...

Finding my art style; live footage. I LOVE having options (I do not love having options) spent all my drawing time deciding what to draw 👍 Ended up with a rushed joke sketch powered *entirely* by anxiety and poor life choices …this feels like a problem

Another sick day in bed. Brain said “draw a cat.” I did not question it (perhaps I should have 😂)

Officially got ->The Lurgy<- Tried sketching through the brain fog anyway… ...she's a biiiiit janky in places but I’ll take it 😅 (sketching in bed was a *trip*) Being ill suuucks 😭

Gotta love my day job sometimes. Existing as a trans woman in retail allows you to witness in real time people rolling nat 1's on gender perception checks. It's thrilling. Can we abolish gendered language and just call everyone "Comrade" from now on 🥲

People always say you shouldn’t bottle things up… I say bottle away 😛 Started with one jar and now it’s an obsession. Help.

Me: Let's do some expressions today to warm up My brain: Hahaha 🐍🐧🤖 do things Me: What am I even doing with my life My brain: 🥦🧨Brrrrrrrr

Uaaaahhhah… Started off doodling a 'meta' sketch about how I keep bouncing between things, like a wheel deciding what I draw each session... ...then the wheel spun again so I started doodling digitally instead …and this happened be real — is this normal or do I actually need to “pick a lane”?

Oh DAMN it's International Asexuality Day and I'm not representing (somewhere between aroace and gray ace) Uhm. Stuck at work...so here's some garlic bread. If you know, you know 🤓 #internationalasexualityday #IAD

Unofficial poll from my last sheet declares this one the winner. Can’t imagine why 😂 #art #digitalart #characterdesign

After weeks of learning how to design armor... ...she decided to wear *absolutely none of it* 😅 Which version did you like the most? 👀

Sketch I maaaaaay finish later. Sadly cut short by severe cramps ruining any motivation to continue hunching over my desk 😅 She's a work in progress, just like me 🥲😭😭😂

A smidgen more visible than usual today - as per tradition! 🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Trans Day Of Visibility to my siblings and allies 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm Amy — transfemme artist / occasional animator, bouncing between ideas like a rubber ball in a pinball machine. As loud and proud as one too! #TDOV #Transdayofvisability

Me: "I need a drink" My brain: ✨️ side quest unlocked ✨️ Updated version of Ye Olde sketch from a while back. #ADHD #Comic #Artistsonbsky

Been feeling pretty low lately, work’s been draining the life out of me... ...So I decided to give a new character life instead 😅 This one’s basically stress on paper — but weirdly, it helped. Does she look like she was born from the fires of burnout or is it just me?

Work has been...*rough* lately. Decided to bleed out the stress onto some paper, this was the result 🫠 #sketch #traditionalart #characterart

It's been a hot minute since I did any pencil work, so thought I'd do a quick warmup doodle 🙂 Kiiinda vibing with this style again… bad idea or 👀? #art #sketch #characterdesign #fantasyart

I mean, I'm TOTALLY *not a furry*...but if I was... ...😅 Nah FR old character I designed for my D&D campaign. Sketched her again earlier (linked in comments) Trans rights or she bites :3

Drew her a month ago (feels A LOT LONGER lol) Figured it was time to give her some colour...something something 50 shades of grey joke But nah FR I might stick to colouring digitally for a while 😂

*clears throat* Traditional is HAAAAAARRRRRDDDDDD Ok now that's out of the way, finally figured I'd try alcohol markers (enjoyed) and reattempt coloured pencils (hated) to colour in this old piece I sketched. First time with markers, learned a lot from the *many many many mistakes* 😂😅 (I hope)

Felt the urge to draw something traditionally and try that comic format I’ve been experimenting with... *Immediately ran out of room and wrecked the proportions* Ah. Right. This is why I usually do comics digitally ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The dangerous moment when you finish one responsible task and briefly believe you’ve fixed your entire life. (Repost because the original was *awful* for mobile, and I'm an idiot who messed up the darkness :D also, alt text *doh*)

Soooo I may or may not be planning to make a comic series involving this character (similar to the one I posted few days ago) It's still a work in progress, people here *tend to like traditional* stuff more and this will be digital? mostly? So idk I just wanna make people happy with my doodles :(
