Allergic to everything but it gives me the excuse to be really extra and make little treats from scratch

Following a woman who posts from the w*r zone in gaz* and reading the comments really put into perspective how much people are looking at this whole thing through a one dimensional lens. It’s a little unsettling.

Todays #wip ((: Also chapter 6’s drafts are done so it should be out on time #art #smallartist #originalcharacter #characterart #noAI #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Naiya and Desrey are sisters and both their parents have a brother. Kids are rare in La’Silrey cause nobody ages. But ya know. Royal family things. I *used* to have a third sister that raised the girls as their mother but that plot was so convoluted so I scrapped it.

Love seeing the huntrix vocalists stick to the bit of showing up with their hair styled like their characters.

Artist growing pains is out growing something that felt like a signature within your style and having to abandon it in order to progress Not because I’m bothered but bc it takes 3-5 business days before I realize that I just have to change how I was previously doing things and the problem is fixed.

Ofc as soon as I post I see the mistakes Oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why am I just now realizing Substack is also for visual art What do we think should I start posting there?

The urge to drop this character’s name so I don’t have to call her Lady Luck for who knows how long it’ll take me to get to the chapter she introduces herself. Like it’s no big reveal. So like. Why not I guess?

The amount of art I have planned this month is sort of insane. If I manage it all by Halloween like I have planned, I deserve a raise dammit

All of the conflicts in As Above (my comic) can be traced back to the theft of something. Mes stealing magic from another god. And then also Pan attempting to steal shit from Mes set off a lot of events. And then Naiya who steals magic tools because she’s banned from having her own.

It’s actually pretty cool that I went from being absolute ass at color to being kind of okay at it in all of a year

Ngl the artist’s work (who is probably my biggest stylistic influence) is vividly imprinted in my brain so any time I have to fix something in my own style that’s no longer working I just lean back on that influence lol

Look I have hEDS I can’t be blamed for drawing weird hands when the reference I’m working with is wonk

DONT WORRY I FIXED IT ( I think)

I really wanna know why dogs without eyes still blink.

Fixed the colors on this #wip… and everything else too lol 🧜‍♀️🐚🐙🪼🌊 Read the comic here: mercuryshousecomics.com/read-as-above/ #characterart #art #smallartist #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Laid the flats then realized I don't have the color skill for the idea I have in mind yet (,: Here's the paused #wip while I figure that out mercuryshousecomics.com #art #smallartist #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #noai #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Seeing someone's art that I know on Pinterest and people are debating if it's AI when I know that it predates and this person received mistreatment because of AI, infuriating.

Naiya and Dorian didn’t expect the other to be their type as much as they are but they do indeed like each other (Sneak peek cuz I have to fix the colors. Comic 🔗👇) #art #smallartist #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

…Love how in the moment I wholeass forgot to change the ko-fi goal to being about paying Bast’s surgery 🧍 Should be fixed now ! (The actual total cost is more like almost $1.3k due to x-rays + initial consult, but the x-rays were things I could cover fine w/o being a hit to finances)

I also will have commissions open for the time being although since job does take up quite a lot of my time, but if people are interested then here astraloccultism.carrd.co

Don’t like having to come here & ask, but… My cat who we’d rescued a while ago (Bast) developed pyometra before we could spay, & has to go in for urgent surgery that comes out to $1.1k range So I’m leaving my ko-fi if anyone wants to donate to help with costs ko-fi.com/estrelladeis...
