did a study of a place in Siena after visiting there a few months back, I tried to get a bit creative with the colours, maybe to mixed success? idk #art #artstudy

such a lovely thing to think about

did another nature drawing today, I don't *love* this one but it does feel really nice to get out and draw The World (shoutout to @sabato-n.bsky.social for indirectly reminding me I should do this more) #traditionalart #sketch

I had quite a negative brain day but I'm just trying to focus on being thankful for my friends even as my brain desperately tries to drag me away from them

I had to think about this a bit, and idk if I'm even all that good at this, but I think I'm best at capturing some serenity in my pieces. At least, I hope I am

hey go commission my gf her art rocks 😤 ok thanks

I finally dug out the drawing tablet and did some digital art for a change, after 5 months or something of mostly traditional art. I missed it a lot and I'm happy with how this first little thing came out

Well I finished this before the end of the year. It’s a bit rough, I’ve never tried gouache before, but I still like how it turned out! #artpost #art #oc #traditionalart

I just reached 100 followers here, and I just wanted to say thank you all! I'm going to try to draw more and I'm learning to paint traditionally because it's fun, (I might also try clay sculpting, who knows). But one thing I'll surely do is start writing a certain type of comic... about elves 😉

I don't have the confidence to post pictures but I need y'all to know the outfit was excellent today 😤

Btw I do take commissions. I can draw stuff like these, and if you pay my fees I can draw stuff like these for YOU! (points to the screen). I'm really eager to work on new stuff and commissions would really help out, so let me know if you're interested and any reposts would mean a lot <3<3

went to the botanic gardens in my city today and it was lovely and I did a lil drawing on a bench which I quite enjoyed :3 #traditionalart

I drew my gf's OC 🥰 @nirarage.bsky.social

I finished this one finally! This was fun. I feel like I need some more practice with backgrounds and colours and stuff, but I think I did good here.

damn I wish I knew how to make friends irl, saw another trans girlie today with a cool fit and I just wanted to complement her and get talking somehow but my idiot dysphoric brain convinces me that somebody who is probably *most likely* to be nice to me is going to be like "ew get away from me" 😔

I am home, for all the mixed feelings that entails. I got a huge energy burst after getting off my plane despite being awake for like 40 hours lol, the 8th wind

flying home tomorrow, I'm gonna cry a lot. I definitely got homesick and there's so much I can do at home that I can't while traveling, but that doesn't compare to the confidence, comfort and emotional peace that I get from being with @nirarage.bsky.social 😔

I've done some character study sketches while traveling and I have to admit I'm really excited to make more art when I get home and have the comfort/access to do more digital, watercolour, inking, etc; I'm gonna make so much stuff and I'm excited because I feel like my progress is finally showing

🏳️‍⚧️happy transgender awareness week!🏳️‍⚧️ hire trans people! buy from trans artists! support the trans community! 🙏

it's 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender awareness week 🏳️‍⚧️, so : donate to trans support organizations if you can, hire trans people, defend them in public & private spaces when necessary, & just don't be an asshole in general

Italy update: we made it to Genoa, flying home in a few days. I'm trying really hard not to dwell on the fact that I'll be apart from my favourite person in the world again soon, and probably for a long time 😔 but I'll do my best to enjoy the tine we still have

through the power of being-with-my-girlfriend I have unlocked the ability to wear dresses and skirts without having an anxiety attack and I have to say this is an exciting new chapter

another lil sketch in Siena #traditionalart

also Italy update: I'm loving it here so much, especially Tuscany. I've been hoovering up art supplies so that I have stuff to do when I go home and am apart from my gf again. Today I dressed really nice and we took some of the best pictures I have of me since I came out, it's been great 🥲

I know I haven't posted art in aaaages I've been doing much more traditional sketches and watercolours and stuff but I did this irl sketch today visiting San Gimignano in Italy and I feel like I need to do these more (also I got a new pen which I'm loving)

happy halloween :3 I'm in italy with my gf i only get to see once a year and we bought a bunch of art supplies today and are cooking curry together, a nice halloween indeed 🥰

i really wish Insomniac weren't just a de facto arm of marvel now, they're one of those rare gems in triple A game dev that actually feel kinda human and these days they only make stuff that i do not care about :(

This is correct.

i think the best example of cultural forgetfulness i've seen in years is the way everyone hated konami for terminating kojima's employment before his game was finished, not letting him attend award shows etc and then shiny new MGS3 remake comes out and every streamer under the sun is playing it

I've been drawing my oc Nira again. I might post other versions of the blue one because I made a lot lot.

picked up my guitar a few times this week after not touching it for months, i don't think i'll ever shake the feeling that that instrument is just not for me even though i've played on and off for nearly two decades now 😔

nothing like finding out someone i want nothing to do with is stalking me on this platform because they "accidentally" liked something vulnerable i posted 🙃

I carried this mindset for a long time but it's hard to throw stuff into the void and hear the silence that follows. Now i just show things to my gf and dm friends sometimes and that way they can't flop 🤷 (i should post more but i've been painting/sketching a lot and my phone camera sucks)

well, drawing has been slow, but here's a little character sheet of my original original girlie, Beanna Kei. One of my very first OCs

OMG TWO NEW GAMES FROM THE OCTOPATH DEVELOPERS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ok picture this, I changed my name and was updating it with certain government agencies and requesting to change my gender marker, and even after setting those to "miss" and "female" the guy I'm dealing with still misgenders me for the whole interaction, some people are truly beyond help LMAO

my brain lately really is like "their imposter syndrome is earned, yours is fake" and my dumb irony-immune ass is fully on board

Elpis - FFXIV .... I've been feeling kinda low lately but I at least got this done and I feel really proud of it #ffxiv #ffxivfanart #landscapeart

welsh heritage and my deadname was welsh was looking for feminine welsh names/characters in media i liked etc pondered some of the carian names in elden ring (one of which later inspired my middle name) friend was playing xenoblade 2 with the sassy welsh catgirl Nia in it hi im Nia

I'm still in time for #PortfolioDay right?

there's something kinda passively hurtful about how people, when they know you deal with depression etc, stop asking how you are or making similar gestures. Like "I'm worried I'll make it worse so I'll simply stop indicating in any way that I care about you" idk there has to be a better way surely

This took me a while. Here's Lady Maria taking a bath and reflecting on stuff

finished Lazarus today, without question one of the best things I've watched in years. I was excited about it because of the Bonobo/Kamasi/Floating Points soundtrack but the way the show itself totally eclipsed that excitement... what a world we live in where people like Watanabe can make their art

Keeper of the Lake, Mor Dhona #ffxiv #ffxivfanart

hello i am now cry-hardgirl

i did another watercolour! this one was more loose and for learning but im happy with it :3 - the swamps of Rak'tika Greatwood #FFXIV #landscapeart

dysphoria needs to chill please

I did my first ever watercolour painting (with real paint!!) today and I think I love it? I drew and painted Kaldena from octopath 2 #octopathtraveler #octopathtraveler2 #art
