the voice of my inner 8yo who started drawing b/c of Inuyasha

Alright yall, my inbox is full from folks privately reaching out (please always feel free to publicly post if your contract allows) about CURRENT COVER RATES in 2026 Strap in

Started a little list of good (worker-aligned) game dev companies to keep an eye out on, to counter the crushing doom and gloom ✨ bsky.app/profile/did:...

Character from book 2 of my fantasy series 🥰 ARC sign-up here if you want to read about this guy: forms.gle/5roDzGFbK832...

Reference vs Art Most of my refs are pretty lazy and I frequently buy kits (buildings, furniture) or daz assets (wings, creatures) I particularly like 3D refs for finding cool shadow shapes, getting rim light right, and a guide for metallic surfaces (which reflect the environment)

A three part commission done for @lemongrace.bsky.social 💙

QTP with women Happy Women's Day!! ✨🔥

you know you buy too many ref packs when you reverse image search a cool photo on pinterest, only to find you already have the pack it came from u_u

spending my life hearing about how women are too emotional for 'FaCtS and LoGiC' fields like computer science to "vibe coding is creating a lot of software that's better than a lot of software programmers" "just because you feel the vibe" 🤮🤮🤮

endpaper art for The Wolf and the Crown of Blood (Allurial ed.) a bit out of my usual wheelhouse but very fun!

✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ Moon Magic, book 2 of my fantasy trilogy 🥰 Eva returns to the world of witches to learn magic and restore her House, gaining new allies and facing old enemies. Plus, moving in with her crush?! ARC sign-ups open: forms.gle/PSqGSKGNautW... Shares very much appreciated!

First thing I thought of that most people might already know - preview your painting's values with grayscale with Ctrl+Y (in photoshop) View > Proof Setup > Custom and use these settings

I went into Slay the Princess completely blind and uhh 😳

Hi #PortfolioDay ₊˚⊹ I'm Grace, illustrator for various books and MtG. Hoping to open commissions again in the spring :) ✧ gracezhuart.com ✧ www.inprnt.com/gallery/grac...

share your couples art! my time to shiiine

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it. I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.

"AI can replace every field except for mine" *incoherent screaming*

Finally caught up and I'm afraid of how much I love them u_u #hollanov #heatedrivalry

Advanced Portfolio Tips (a mini thread) View your portfolio on multiple screen sizes, and especially a phone. If you balk at art directors looking at your beautiful artwork on a tiny phone screen I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is a good chance of this happening.

✨My art mentorships continue this year!✨ I had the great pleasure of working with 90 students last year, helping them level up their illustration work. If you want to join, I have a few spaces open for the February class. Details about the course here: www.masteringimaginativerealism.com

Another year of anatomy studies! Bargue plates are tickling my brain at the moment so I'll probably keep at it for a bit :)

Welcome back artists!🖌🎨✨️ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like! My most popular piece on twitter :>

Just thinking about how my mom wrote a speech for my wedding and it had 'grammatical mistakes' because English is her second language but really it was perfect because those were HER words. And anyone using ChatGPT to communicate for them is missing that. They're outsourcing their humanity.

Watched Inuyasha on YTV as an 8 year old

My #artvsartist this year! I'm pretty happy with my output, but my sense of time is wildly out of whack (the cover from March feels like last year... the cover from June feels like yesterday, lol) Probably just a reflection of the state of the world tbh. #artvsartist2025

Anyway celebrate games + game devs but never worship companies no matter how friendly the CEO seems ✨ (also support worker-owned co-ops)

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

✨💛✨

Finding & working with clients (a thread) This is a general approach which should be broadly applicable. Although I’ll primarily be using book covers as an example, this approach should work for TTRPGs, TCGs, games, film, etc. to varying degrees depending on the industry and its needs.

Watching FFX-2 cinematics on repeat was like a core memory for me ahhhh www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvv_...

I'm thinking of ways to give back to the art community this holiday season - would any of the below be useful to anyone? - portfolio review (oriented to book or MtG/card art) - paintover of specific pieces - freelance/art business Q&A - tips on how/where to find clients

Finished commission for Liz! Thank you for your continued support!!

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳 I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️ #art #illustration
