informative? no aesthetic? very #iwtv pages from my recently finished sketchbook

trying to master silk painting as a gift for a friend....

look, the days continue to be stressful, but on the plus side? lots, LOTS of trad painting practice to tame my mind

i might not be the best portrait artist, but that's not for the lack of trying... ...so have my first attempt of capturing @erikasanderson.com's likeness, i guess..?

look, my friends finally persuaded me to watch #aknightofthesevenkingdoms i am on ep 2 and full of spoilers and i am allowed to be silly, so this might be my best fanart on the subject

look, i resurface since this happened in honour of my friends watching #akotsk and for the sake of becoming less rusty in spontaneous studies also this is for all those who discovered the Bertie Carvel beyond the Baelor Targaryen and stumbled upon "Matilda", i know you weren't ready

i terribly, desperately need to get back to actually talking to people instead of mute birdwatching (which is still terribly fun, trust me) but i come here not to moan about my nonexistent socialising i come bearing shiny shiny gifts #iwtvfanart #traditionalart #devilsminion

You’ll Be OK

for those whom may concern: the work is in progress, the scheduling tool is found thanks to @melissafehrtrade.bsky.social 💜

look, i am mostly just... checking if this works, ok..? this is a simple mock-up of a cover for one of the books that influenced me quite a lot, especially in my university years; if i am doing things right, you can guess the title

oh joy, since i can't schedule things - be prepared for an abrupt dump of various arts i have been making in my absence not now, for I am merciful but SOON

....i wonder if I can schedule things here, hmmm. can i..? i don't think i can

i miss zia (they/them) (art by @erebusodora.bsky.social, who i'm only tagging actively bc 1) i know she won't mind and 2) this comm (=me being really intense about it) is what started our friendship)

look look it's stalk the minion day and AMC hire me to paint a full comic about them o'clock #iwtvfanart #devilsminion

look, i know i'm pretty much offline these weeks, but an update for procreate brushes is a valid reason to try a new, more stylised approach, ehhh..? (idk if it works, but it was fun to try) #iwtvfanart

it's all very simple: when you can help, you help; when you physically can not, you find the ways to make life easier for those who can - and maybe make something beautiful that's what gives me hope tonight anyway 🕊️

often i grapple with spending my time creating "distractions" from the current world in the form of games, stories, media, etc but i've been paying close attention lately & noticed that in these difficult times people turn to these things for solace & joy art brightens. it energises. it matters <3

i keep forgetting how many social media accounts i have so imma just add some ramblings here, because: 1. i can 2. i started learning a new language 3. it's kinda a teaser explaining i am human and do things by hand youtu.be/slEwS-uJvg0?...

HONEY I'M HOME (also i am waiting for the Talamasca trailer, so- ) #iwtvfanart #devilsminion

in case you lost me: hi in case you didn't: hi as well i'm in the woods figuring out some uhh woodwork..?

a dear friend of mine keeps giving me supernatural ideas for saving very deceased characters; i keep trying to learn how to animate the inanimate #inthenameofrose #mauriziolombardi

......i still have an ace up my sleeve, but shhh, not now, kitten, mommy's trying to get her sleep schedule back.... (also: close-ups!)

look - i know it's been a while, a LONG while without new #devilsminion arts (a long time without arts, period) but the lovely humans who created @devilsminionzine.bsky.social (CHECK THEM OUT!) allowed to share the contributions to the cause, and i am glad to oblige

also - 3 am vs. 3 pm, my fav kind of pictures, ngl

it feels incredibly weird to be back to social media when for half a month your company looked like this

for those who wonder where i am: i'm at the best place since it hardly has any web connection, up to no good, soon to be back i have literally just sat still long enough for a spider to weave a web around me sorry, no ALT/IDs at the moment, but boy oh boy am i collecting myself these weeks

as per usual - a static pic for the sake of accessibility #marioassente #fanart

i am finally officially on a vacation and can do what i want and love the most yup, that's about creating things #portrait #traditionalart

things were watched and choices were made #conclave #fanart #traditionalart

just realised that i don't think of fiction podcasts as of 'queer media' if it's a podcast, i EXPECT it to be queer, that's the BASIC REQUIREMENT, wdym it's not, YOU HAD ONE JOB anyway, happy 🌈🕊️

i finally got myself a box of purple Daniel Smith watercolour samples and a pen that evaporates when heated, so expect more watercolours, i guess..?

one day ONE DAY imma poke those of my friends who are in the voice acting field and give them the timelapse vids of my painting process to descriptively narrate - and NATURALLY provide no script or clues that's like asking your friend who doesn't use make-up to explain your grwm vid

a huge % of my works for (at the very least) a year contains exploring the ways one can paint senior gentlemen since it's INTERESTING TO STUDY, but i have to add this vid with my cackling as an extra - my friends describe things in the most beautiful ways xD #iwtvfanart youtu.be/u7IlTqsUxDU?...

Things are about to get a bit ancient. I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.

i do art to calm myself down, but i also capture beautiful things to memory for the very same reason

Sir Ian McKellen to open historic all-trans and non-binary production of Shakespeare classic

Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

Chuck Tingle: good evening, my good chums King: oh excellent! it's chuck tingle! King: he's great, he's always so funny Tingle: actually, chums, this is serious horror King: what

i need to share this watercolour orchid if only because of the secret hidden from the light #traditionalart

i finally FINALLY use one of my sketchbooks exactly like one as in, throwaway shite! cats! plants! abstract pen scribbles! doesn't have to be good! has to just work and save me from my anxiety and dread! y a y ?

this is a rare "not my art but posting it" moment for me, because i am moved beyond words @niccoguedes.bsky.social 🙏💕 you made my whole week
