Someone pat me on the head plz-

HUMAN artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

I have had an art block because work has been A LOT lately, and I have commissions waiting for me I was stuck on, so I just gave me a study to get UNSTUCK.

In true ADHD fashion I learned to crotchet 2 weeks ago and this where we at.

Commission! Ganymede, as a companion to my previous piece. The same character in a modern setting. I went with a moodier late 1800s style that felt more expressive and warm!

My last artfight piece for 2025, I just wasn't quick enough to get it in! Original is here: artfight.net/character/70...

A study based on François Bourdin's work! Not sure I nailed it but it was a great test to make me commit to hard edges!

Art Fight, 2025: Gilia & Rua, from a long form psl my friend and I been writing. Rua Concept here: artfight.net/character/71... Gilia is mine!

Art Fight, 2025: Annie Morgan, 2025 Original Concept: artfight.net/character/58...

Malinda, 2025 original: artfight.net/character/40...

ART FIGHT 2025: Ramulladon. Original concept: artfight.net/character/61... I've never painted a dragon before! But I thought he was a good round lad who deserved a comfy spot to nap in. How do you think I did?

ART FIGHT: 2025, Weirdo: artfight.net/character/10... This was certainly a challenge to adjust between styles!

Me in the middle of the night: I wonder if there is a way to do Sfumato technique digitally. Also me: GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP-

Juno, #Overwatch. Expressions are definitely my weak point, let alone translating from anime to semi-realism! But we go there in the end!

My dream as an illustrator is to be hired to do old timey portraits for a spooky video game???

Study of John Singer Sargent, about five hours all told between two days? wanted to get it finished before work again.

Gold Amongst the Blue. "But those who love the sea, oh we live forever, you can drown my body but never the soul." - Syrena, Kiki Rockwell. #Mermay! Its not late shhh (I had a lot of work this month). Insp was how sea creatures turn bright colours when ultraviolet light is shined on them.

My Rook in Veilguard still fucks me up, wtf she's so pretty.

Kneel before your Queen! #junkerqueen

First piece on the new computer!

fish want me to focus

I have gotten some horrible sickness again ughhh.

Mononoke

Sinners paying out my mother dragging me to Irish Club every chance we could as a child and teaching me so many irish songs because I can already sing all the words to Rocky Road to Dublin.

I havent painted much while I have been settling into my new job and my god what the fuck am I doing HELP-

ANGRILY SIPS DRINK IN AUSTRALIAN FURY.

Oh my goodness! I just saw I have 100 followers now! Ah! Thank you so much everyone!!

I finished him at last. the eldest brother of my little fantasy world I've been building for way too long. It was a short mock, so some of the rendering is still a little rough, but I am pleased with it over all!

When I was 18/19, I went from cosplay and tried my hand at modelling, which I enjoyed but frankly never had the drive for, but I did get some HELLA photos from some shoots.

I want to say that the technical self portrait I am making for my mother is different to painting a fan blorbo but what am I but my mother's favourite Blorbo?? Her custom OC, do not steal???

I encourage every painter to show their horrible middle stage, let all the new painters know its normal that there is a bit in the middle of every painting that you question why you ever picked up the brush/tablet/pencil.

its hard out here as an artist sometimes, but seeing Mayazaki just snap back at Algo Art BS was refreshing.

Where a piece started vs how it ended.

A client's character based off of Ganymede, Greek Mythology. God of Homoerotic Love. The client was amazing and was fully here for me dipping into historical mural / painting methods, so I fully got into my nerd with it.

Shout out to Bronze Age Minoan Artist - my guys hands were so steady are you kidding me??? the flower black lines, the control of the curves on this is WILD. my hands COULD NEVER.

The arguably worst part of all painting is when you first put in the eyes and it looks immediately like you stuck in googley eyes.

Reminder that the whole pouring molten gold on someone for their hubris has a historical precedent when Marcus Crassus, the richest man in Rome, arrogantly assumed he could buy off Parthian Persians - and in responses they tipped molten gold down his throat. Rich men always need reminders.

I still need to do the portrait for my mother of me and our big dog Finn (we are her children, I full accept my furry little brother) but also painting myself is terrifying.

#MaheshJadu from #MarcoPolo, a study. Found out he's an aussie actor too, so gotta rep the home base!

When the art brain not arting, I like to do some leafs.

I really want to like, get MORE out there with my art. But I have no idea what to do and what kind of interaction would be fun to promote myself? Do I stream?? Do I make time lapse vidoes?? ack.

Taash's portrait is done! All my dishonored portrait style studies for the Veilguard companions are done! But I might be doing two more super secret ones 🤫 #datv #digitalart #dragonage #taash

Suite No. 3 in D Major. A study that I turned into a friend's character <3.

The piece ended up way different to where I started, but here is a brief timelapse I DID manage to record of my last study. My deeply chaotic process haha.

A stylization & colour study, that as ever, got out of hand...

I tried recording a time-lapse of a painting and both forgot to start it when I started and then saved it wrong, LMAO. A+ nailed it.

I made my OC an Avvar from #DragonAge ... LET ME MAKE AN AVVAR SOB...

Alfred is the cyclone equivalent of that guy that tells you he's coming over and then texts you three times to reschedule.
