'Surprise Me!' Skeb-style half-body commission for Sal featuring their FFXIV WoL Jay! Thank you so much for the support! 💜 Comms opening again soon, all info here: vgen.co/rbillustration 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV

Here is this week's stream schedule! Gee is busy this week, so we'll be picking up on WIP Wednesday and FF13 Friday next week! 👀

It'd be nice to be able to see from your profile on bsky what lists you're on. I know you can look on clearsky but it's not letting me view it without logging in with my bsky info and I don't really want to do that. I'm just curious when I suddenly get a bunch of followers 👀 But regardless, hello!

I wrote one single note during tonight's Witchlight session because I was so lost in the Syd sauce I didn't get round to writing anything else, and wow I am so fine and normal over this campaign :)

LRT - honestly yeah not just saying this because I use VGen, and maybe it's not for everyone, but I really like the security of a middleman service for both artist and client. Having reviews for both sides, a portfolio of verified previous comms, and everything arranged in one place is great for me

I know its trendy atm to not like them but sites like vgen/skeb/crepe exist for a reason, to give a safety net to both client and artist

a commission for @thefluffybat.bsky.social of their circle of the moon druid cillian ✨🌿🪶🌼💚 [ #Dnd ] [ #art ]

Now live! 🔴 www.twitch.tv/rbillustration

So excited to continue Child of Light tonight! Join me and @saintpyxis.art at 7.30pm GMT ✨ twitch.tv/rbillustration

LRT please look at my bnuuy lad 💜 He looks SO GOOD

Some recent sketch commissions ✨ I'm open for orders at the moment, so get in touch if you'd like me to draw your OCs 👀💕

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half We price for that, so please be understanding!

Now live to figure out what the hell happened last time in FF13! www.twitch.tv/topbananaart

A LOT happened last session , so let's unpack what ever the hell happened in Nautilus with @rb-illustration.co.uk

This is probably my biggest struggle in my art. So many times I've backtracked through an hour of noodling on a piece when it was already DONE, but I had to go poking about with more colour adjustments and overlay layers and then it was Too Much

Blackest Night ⚔️ (2022 repost) My piece for the Blackest Night zine, which was an absolute joy to take part in! The DRK quests are a huge part of Roscoe's story and I really want to convey that here. I'm still super happy with this piece 💜 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV

Now live! 🔴 www.twitch.tv/rbillustration

I'll be live on Twitch with another 2D and 2D art co-stream at 7.30pm GMT - I'll be finishing off Raine's pinup page while @aymesjaymes.bsky.social does some 3D work! twitch.tv/rbillustration

Artists Meeting Artists

#meettheartist hello it's me! And my new sona design ⚡

I made two new PNGtubers last week! Here's the ones I made for our Yakuza Judgement streams: Ace Defective - I mean, Detective Bex reporting in! 🫡 🎨 #bexarttag

Now live! 🔴 www.twitch.tv/topbananaart

Hey all! Me and @rb-illustration.co.uk are chipping away Mount. WIP again today, which means more terrarium dragons from me! usual time 2-4PM GMT twitch.tv/topbananaart

No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk. ✨ #ffxiv (ENW spoilers)

Love that instagram thought I, a person who just wrote an airship captain into my book who wears mostly unnecessary goggles, wanted a reel on my tl full of people complaining about characters wearing unnecessary goggles. I grew up playing JRPGs and YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW ABOUT IT

It's time to continue tackling Mt WIP! ⛰️ Join me and @top-banana.bsky.social on her channel at 2-4pm GMT while we fight our way through our work-in-progress folders! twitch.tv/topbananaart

Shoutout to the person on tumblr who tagged my sona as a 'hot purple guy', not the description I'd use (well, apart from the purple) but I'll take it 😎

Now live with more Judgement! 🔴 www.twitch.tv/aymesjaymes

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

AyJy and I will be back with more Judgement tonight at 7.30pm GMT! Come and watch me attempt to piece together clues with varying success! 🧐

The art vs the artist's hand ✨ Nothing much to see apart from my weird-shaped fingers which were most likely caused by said art 😆 I wish I wore nice jewellery more often but it irritates me

I passed 1000 orders on Etsy! Thank you so much for the support! 💜🎉 I'm currently working on reopening US shipping on both my stores so please stay tuned for an update later! Taking a break for lunch and then back to manually editing 100+ listings one by one 🫠

Here is this week's stream schedule! ✨

If you're on my commission waitlist, please check your VGen messages! I'm waiting on a reply from one person and I need to know if you'd still like your slot! 💜

My piece for EMarauder for the #faeandelvensecretsatan2025 event! Saros has such a fantastic design and I'm always weak for constellation freckles. As always, this event was a joy to take part in! 🌙✨ 🎨 #bexarttag

A moment from our Frostmaiden campaign, where the party confronted some undead beholders in the wreckage of Quil's old magic academy. I'm super proud of the lighting in this one! 💜 🎨 #bexarttag #OCsky #D&D

Since I last completed some full colour artwork of Roscoe when Dawntrail came out, he needed an updated design ready for the next expansion! He's now a combined MCH/GNB, and since I can't mix those glams in-game, I designed him a combo myself! 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV #OCsky

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

- Lightwarden: Forgiven Grief - Commission for @annoyed-galaxy.bsky.social featuring their WoL Adrian as a Lightwarden! I was absolutely STOKED to receive this request and had such a blast working on it. Thank you for the support! 💜 🎨 #bexarttag #FFXIV #VGenComm

Behold: a redraw of my first ever OC, Flamez. Yes, with a Z 😎🔥 I was maybe 12 or 13 when I made her and I thought she was the Coolest Thing Ever. I hope baby Bex would be proud 🎨 #bexarttag #OCsky
