That feeling when you ink and color something 3 times because you just can’t seem to find the rendering style you want.

Said it before, I’ll say it again, I’d love to see Xena make a comeback. One that wouldn’t have to hide how gay it is. If not a TV show, a comic would also rule.

I started building a proper Character Design portfolio this year, and while I did a ton of research before digging in, I always want more. What are some of your favorite designs or examples of great sheets or full portfolios?

Hey
@bsky.app
, read the room friend. We all came here to escape the censorship and suppression of other platforms. A place where we can see what we want. Much like any good kink, safety tools are a great thing to have, but they should be available to those who want them, not forced onto all.

There’s a part of me that feels guilty for how much new art I haven’t made or shared lately, then I remember the work I’ve been putting into finally building a Character Design portfolio and I feel proud and accomplished.

I’m well aware that it’s a good idea to stop and backup my Procreate files, but it also takes a while and that time I could be drawing.

I wish I lived in the world of Superman 2025. I would love so much to live in a reality where someone THAT GOOD just existed. That would be so comforting.

Man… fuck social media. Shit gets in my head too easily. Cuts too deep. Has me out here questioning myself and my worth. It’s a modern marvel that we can connect with so many people around the world, but it also just means when no one says anything, it feels that more lonely.

Listen, I know you need to keep drawing and don’t get too hung up on going back to redraw things, but what they don’t tell you is that by the time you’re on page 12 of your character design portfolio, the lineup you did first starts lookin stiff as hell. Once more, with feeling!

Worked on my Character Design portfolio, yesterday, specifically the part I struggle with the most; expressions and actions. It took a while but then I remembered that this is about showing who the character is, not flexing how dope and dynamic an artist I might be. Would love feedback.

Not specifically calling this gig out but, I am absolutely itching to get my Character Design portfolio finished. Ever since I started I see gigs daily where I’m just like “awww that’d be cool”.

Stoked for the upcoming mobile game DC Worlds Collide, absolutely adore the look and feel and always enjoy seeing these characters I love so much. That said, speaking of the look and feel, I couldn’t ignore how similar my artstyle was to this game so, I had to try my hand at a few character designs.

So, there’s a mobile game coming out soon and the art style is, not only awesome, but very close to my own. I know this isn’t how the world works but, I started drawing 4 character concepts as like an audition. Point is, I’d love some feedback. How’s the presentation? How’s my art?

Hey
@bsky.app
, Sometimes I see dope art and would love to immediately know if I’m following that artist yet or not. Could some small signifier be added to the timeline to denote?

Generative AI can eat my leftover butt dust. It’s stupid, lazy, truly only benefits the greedy, and needlessly crammed into everything. That said, I’m going to combat it the only way I know how, by continue to draw my ass off.

I started drawing a proper Character Design portfolio recently and, since nearly everyone suggests including a redesign, I thought I’d make my inner child very happy when choosing an IP.

I present for you another Character Design piece: The Gutter This one was fun to work on because I don’t typically work in grungy sci-fi so it meant working through all the pieces and making sure I commit to the details.

Why is the computer stuff in the real world? Like… I understand that it’s kinda cool visually, but, it doesn’t make sense. I’m looking forward to the score but, honestly, this feels to Jurassic World to me.

New art to share!!! There was a fun trend going around here where people were redrawing anime screenshots and I’d been tempted lately to draw a Gundam model that I had fun building so… por que no los dos?

I want to start by saying I acknowledge the delicate elements of this piece. It’s based on the very real history of racism and violence within this country and the south. I was hesitant to post it because I didn’t want to come across as insensitive.

My Favorite Genres are: 1. Team-up of losers on a possible suicide mission 2. Gruff old soldier gives it one last fight 3. Have to explore an intricate series of ancient puzzles to find the dohickey of lore 4. Chaotic snowball involving many eccentric characters 5. Road trip

Uhm… so I don’t normal draw things like this. I had the fun idea of a goth girl with her demon friend standing at her locker with the idea that the locker would have some kind of demonic spell going on inside. Ya’know, hinting that these two are always up to no good.

Sorry folks, yes, I’ve started following a bunch of NSFW accounts here lately. They’re actually a REALLY good resource for lighting and shading and form. Plus, that community shares artists way more than the rest of ya. Be better.

I do enjoy some Cassandra Cain. This is from a from full Batfamily redesign I did, where Tim Steph and Cass formed a trio called Gotham Incorporated working as freelance agents.

Hi! I have a few copies of the calendar project myself and art friends worked on and would love to send them to a good home! It is filled with beautiful art, lasts till mid-26 and sits very comfortably on your desk. Like and/or Repost to enter, I’ll randomly draw a winner for each method! ✨
