yo if you think your art looks bad then consider - what you're looking at is YOURS and you worked hard to make it! You could've stooped to genAI slop like so many others but you *didn't*, and when you put your heart into creating something it's never "bad". That's the essence of art at its finest.

Whenever you feel defeated, or hopeless, remember that if the power ever went out... Artists can still create with anything at hand, just like we always have. The dogturd imitations become worthless steel husks. Creativity is defiant and real and will always be.

this one isn't any specific character but I do like how it came out a lot, and that makes it worth it as a sketch 💖

Hello, I'm J. Lovelace and I'm a freelance webcomic artist 👋 Sweet reminder that my commissions are open and you can easily buy them on my Ko-Fi ♥ ko-fi.com/jutalovelace... Some of my recent examples below:

Some days, you don't like anything you manage to draw, and that's okay. I post my sketches that I don't like as well as the ones I do like to demonstrate that this is just how being an artist is. I'll try again tomorrow, and I hope you will too, whoever is reading this! Keep it up #oc #projectwttl

You can now buy cel shading commissions on my Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/jutalovelace... #commission #art #custom

Oof, I have a horrible sore throat and cough today so plenty of rest and hot drinks are probably gonna be on the menu.

good morning! have you checked out my brand new webcomic yet? 😀

Make it good, make it bad, make it with your own mind, heart, and soul. I want to read it the way YOU wrote it. I want to see it the way YOU’D draw it. I want to hear it the way YOU’D play it. Participate in the act of creation.

Dates & Wires anniversary is only a few days away, make sure to wishlist if you don't wanna miss our biggest discount yet👀 store.steampowered.com/app/3136150/...

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

hey look it's a mildly spicy W.I.P. on my side account that I made just for posting self-indulgent OC smut if you're interested in that at all why not give it a follow, I'll probably draw more of these two soon 😈

yeeeeeee "Welcome To The Library" is now officially up on @namicomi.com too! Why not give the intro a read and I'll get on with making the next chapter, deal? 😁 #projectwttl nami.moe/t/LGzh7k2y

so if anyone has been wondering what the tag #projectwttl stands for that I've been using on my art for a while now, here's your answer! You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to saying this for the past year: Welcome To The Library!!!!!!! #webcomic #oc #horror #etc wttl.the-comic.org

woke up, drew a very shoujo Kerimaer my lifelong love for Arina Tanemura's work is showing huh #projectwttl #ocsky #secret_inky_nonsense

what if H I M god I love this shapeshifting bastard ink blob so much, I think I shall draw him again today fun fact: he canonically DOES have a name, but he's the only one who knows what it is and he ain't sharing. So he's literally called "Gatekeeper" yes! #oc #projectwttl #entity #ink #mask

some days you gotta treat yourself and doodle a horrible man 😊 srsly tho valinir's so fun to draw because it's impossible to over-exaggerate how unimpressed he permanently looks for no reason, he's just a selfish narcissistic dickhead and WILL get punched in the face at some point #oc #projectwttl

It's Halloween Sale time over on itchio 🎃 I have most of my titles 50%. It's a great time to grab some of my short comics or weird old art zines, like Afterglow, my first ever #kinktober attempt from all the way back in 2018 💀 itch.io/s/165394/hal... #comicoop

oh yeah, my horror comic Impasto is half off this week for Halloween!! sjmiller.itch.io/impasto

god damn my style has changed a little bit over the years huh this is the same character btw, Kerimaer has had a GLOWUP still like that old painting style though too, maybe I should try that again sometime #OC #projectwttl #glowup

I saw a pair of goldcrests today!! Heard them many times at one of my fave birdwatching spots but never seen one before. They've been on my birdwatching bucket list for ages and today I got to see TWO barely two metres away from me!! What an honour to finally see such tiny and beautiful birbs 💖

What a wild close out! Honestly, I never expected this many backers, I feel so grateful TuT I can't wait to get this book printed and out to folks 💞 Now time to log off, have a little treat, maybe draw a little smut. Also, late pledges are enabled if you missed all the posts before now ❤️

doodled a Maria as a treat because I am feeling a little down 😊 #oc #projectwttl

if you haven't backed this already and can, PLEASE go take a look and consider doing so! It's so good and Mariah is such a wonderful person who makes some really, really good smut I promise you will not be disappointed

This is nuts, only $150 and 10 backers away 🤯 I'm gonna have to go play video games or something for the next 4 hours, I don't think I'm gonna be able to do anything useful until the clock runs out
