I never expected anyone to ever support me, let alone NOW, and I am sincerely thankful no matter what. ❤️

Lady Autumn "Golden brown, texture like sun." Autumn is slowly arriving in Australia 🍂

Life has been throttling my ability to stay in my art groove, but tonight I forced myself into doing a more stylized portrait to MAKE MY BRAIN TURN ON.

The more you learn about historical artists and their insane lives makes Algo Art defenders even funnier "I have to do work and can't study art!!" Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, etc lived through the Italian Wars, frequently watching their homes get burned down or their bosses literally assassinated.

A study in stages! Cool kids to show their work (so you can see I am not A//I lmao)

Trying to explain the Aussie obsession with Easter and that it has nothing to do with Christian anything, we just go INTENSELY hard about it and we LOVE Easter chocolate.

Unfortunately for my crochet plans, doggo says no, him only.

Sometimes I think about doing a self portrait,,, and then I remember that means looking at myself in a real capacity and I physically feel myself disassociating from my whole ass body-

I also crochet, amoung my many other hobbies! I'm obsessed with this yarn, the colours make my brain go brrr

Things that are sad but ok: dogs making realistic sound effects in video games. Things that are STRESS MAKING when you are a dog/animal care woker: DOGS MAKING REALISTICALLY SOUND EFFECTS IN VIDEO GAMES.

Hey remember when many Aussies were screaming at the top of our lungs about how bad an idea this was??? I remember having a whole ass argument about why this was an awful idea. And what's worse when so many people are screaming now, so many of Aussie and UK people were screaming then.

Just some random painting of queer Joy and tenderness for no reason other than visibility.

Study, painted from show reference. I've been trying to paint full scenes instead of just a face and work on over all composition and lighting balance. This might be some of the best hair painting I've done!

Whilst I know I do not owe anyone an explanation, thank you for all engagement and support while I've been on art hiatus, my mother was diagnosed with a serious cancer, and I have been taking care of her, which made me lose my job. It's been wonderful to come online and see kind messages. 🥰

FEB 2026: COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!

Figures studies this time!

Art study for today, the one only that came out looking worth anything LMAO.

// Yeah, I know wrong, I know right, but I just love to pick a fight I got my knife, got my gun... ... Let's see how fast you can run.// Nil, Clip Studio Paint, I just love me this trash man... #HorizonZeroDawn #HorizonForbiddenWest @guerrilla.bsky.social

a WIP, for Nil #HorizonZeroDawn

To the one guy who dm'd me saying YEAH BUT THEY COULD USE THEM TO MAKE A BETTER SYSTEM FOR TRAINING. Maybe, yeah, unfortunately dogs need and want one thing that apparently no one has given you in awhile or maybe you wouldnt be like this: cuddles, hugs and kisses for being a very good boy.

I lost my job at the end of the year and so the algorithm is trying to feed me "ways to upskill to get a job!" and then shows me a bunch of "training in AI!" courses. ....... I train and take care of dogs.

I would draw so much shippy art if i could ever figure out how to make two people kissing not look like two walls falling over badly.

What if I made up an art challenge for Jan 2026? Something to bring in the new year, ya know?

ART VS ARTIST 2025. I felt so much growth this year, I took a drawing class for the first time since I was in high school, I did Art Fight, I made sure to diversify my work! I started getting more regular commissions, and had one of my works get a lot of attention! Here is to even more in 2026!

Hi, I'm Lysandra/Lily. I'm an Aussie Artist, Gamer, Dog Trainer/Worker/Professional Snuggler, Crafter & Historical enthusiast, over 30, bisexual, and happily engaged to my partner of 10 years. This is an 18+, queer-friendly space where I liked to be a nerd and relax.

ALso I have been playing Horizon Lego Adventures ten years later than everyone else like I do everything, and its rly cute. :> .... and reminded me of how much I loved Dumb Murder Weirdo.

"NOW WOULD PRAY BEFORE YOU TWIST A KNIFE? WOULD YOU TAKE MY HAND AND TAKE A LIFE?" Nil (study), #HorizonZeroDawn #HorizonForbiddenWest done from screen shot reference. Clip Studio Paint CRAWLS DESPERATELY OUT OF MY ART RUT....

So I am not necessarily having art block so much as I stopped painting as much while I was working for 6m, and then from working, my mum got sick & I had to take care of her, and now I feel so out of practice that all my work is turning out like garbage in my attempt to get started again.

Oh goodness more followers! At this stage I think I might actually have to set up some sort of intro or something. I am just real excited to talk to people lmaoo

Uh why not its basically Christmas! Let's do an artshare here for artists with under 1k followers. If youre an artist with 1k followers or less post some art below! Look to the artist on your left, now look to the artist on your right. Wow. Three artists. Very cool 😎

,,, i just,,, wanna,,, be good at art,,, ugh

the art block be hitting hard so I design some medieval motif mandalas and it was very relaxing to my tired art brain

⚜️ Iphigenia ✦ Portrait Commission #art #digitalpainting #portrait Her passionate nature and strong grasp undoubtedly aid her in negotiations

serious art!me: you need to body & fabric studies to get better painting those me: SO I GUESS I WILL DO ANOTHER PORTRAIT STUDY -

"Within a King's Gaze" Study from photo reference. Clip Studio Paint, 10ish hours. Challenge: use one brush, and a textured rough brush I was nervous about!

WIP, that I decided to record some of!!!! and... then forgot to hit record lmao. I did get like maybe 20 mins worth, so maybe I will keep going because I'm not done yet...

"A Ponderous Peony." Clip Studio Paint, 20+ish hours. Commission.

work has been fucking me up so bad, I got really injured and when I sat down to work on commissions it felt like I had to relearn everything all over again and ACK.

my last weeks have been my birthday, getting seriously bitten by a dog that was dropped on us at work when they were in the middle of moving house and were SO stressed, and getting sick. SAVE ME. I am finally getting some time to paint again!! 🫠

I think its so funny that everyone is talking about using AI like everyone has to use it but I legitimately have never opened chatgpt in my life lmao.

Someone pat me on the head plz-

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