since I'm trying to fill 2 art nouveau slots, here is some examples. you can find more in my gallery if you check out my carrd. lyannacomm.carrd.co

found myself at the unfortunate conjunction between being stuck with writing and having the honest realisation that i'm genuinely not good at the craft (yet). so i'm back to the planning board and ellipsus' story planning template has been useful to get some ideas going in my brain, which is a start

next time i take a long weekend vacation, i'll make it friday - sunday because mondays off throw me off so damn bad and in the end all i get is extra anxiety on tuesday 😭 i wish my brain wasn't so stuck on routines

browser seems to be working fine?? i use my main from the app and it has been horrible to use bsky this afternoon/evening 😭

i have another vera sketch i might use to experiment with colours, i've just been obsessed with her so may as well 👁️ it was my original idea for her swan illustration, and I still really love the pose

mixed in a bit of pencils and white gouache for the stars, it has been so fun to doodle like this ✨

this week has been awful, i can't even rejoice for the weekend because the source of my anxiety has yet to find a resolution so i'm not even sure i'll be able to really rest o(-< if the universe could spare me a kindness it'd be much appreciated

maybe what i need is not a new lineart brush... maybe what i needed was a different brush for colouring that matches my lineart brush better...... i love this texture so much (doodled this artemisia back in january and ugh i just think she is so pretty)

I once again had the massive honour to illustrate recent events on Critical Role campaign 4! This time: The Seekers! #CriticalRole

tried them today for the first time, and it was equal parts fun and stressful kwhgkwe traditional art makes you trust the process in a whole different way 😂 i'm excited to keep experimenting with them though!! i don't know how to take good pics of my sketchbook, but have one anyway

treated myself to some alcohol markers since i always wanted to try those 👀

i kind of want to try and colour it... but we'll see vera loves her plants 🪴

i made a starter back of beautiful and unique manuscripts you can browse online! (with links) for anyone that wants a good way to spend an afternoon :) open.substack.com/pub/weirdmed...

i've been feeling a little... deflated? and lonely when it comes to personal creative work but i'm not sure there is anything i can do about it

<I can still hear the Falcon's Cry> The strength of that sentence shakes me every time💙✨🙏 My tribute to Critical Role's C4 and the Falconer Rebellion's group. #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

i have been drawing so many patterns for blazers i am surprised i haven't had nightmares about them yet (but i love blazers so it'll be exciting to be able to make them)

i know ryan would throw a banger party, he has the social energy and charm i could only ever dream to have lol i wonder if opal would spend it with xiomara or if xiomara is at that age where she'd rather be with her friends than her mom kjwehg i'm sure kyra would be around to pester opal anyway

it just dawned on me 2026 will be my 10th year of doing digital art and oh my god what do you mean TEN YEARS

16 books read this year (original goal was 12) 💪 i might try to aim for 20 in 2026 my top 3 were - This Is How You Lose The Time War - The Jasmine Throne (but also loved The Oleander Sword) - Six of Crows (but also loved Crooked Kingdom)

sometimes i worry my art will get boring if i keep drawing flowy drapery and flowers in most of my pieces, but i shall carry on with my agenda until i master them 😤 also for some reason i always loved flowers in art... they were a main subject for me when i was doing photography too

got prints of 3 of my artworks and they turned out very pretty 🥹 wasn't sure how it was going to work out because I ordered them from a place that prints photographs but I'm very happy with the result

i decided to treat myself to something i wanted for a long time because i'm very bad at that and i finally started playing slay the princess... i have a feeling i'm going to be changed by the time i'm done with this

another chapter draft done, now i don't know if i want to go back and edit what I have or just carry on and start editing when it's all done... i think i kinda want to fix the issues first but I also don't wanna lose momentum 😩

it's that time of the year where i draw rosethorne as a Leyendecker artwork

i've been attending this very chill, local character design course and god it's so good to interact and work with other artists irl i wish i could do that more often 😩

love my job but any time i need to make a commission post i only feel like giving up ngl bc of the hoops i now have to jump if i want to dare to make enough off of art (bc nothing is ever easy), and the lack of steady enough work i'm just... is this a sunk cost fallacy and am I living in it

Eternity was worth the moment our paths crossed #art #oc #ocsky

finally finished a new personal piece, and i'm happy with it but for the first time i don't look forward to sharing it in the slightest for some reason.. can't pinpoint a reason why but sharing art hasn't been as fun anymore

i don't really do fan art anymore, but the story in reverse 1999 has me in a chokehold....... genuinely don't think i'll be able to work more on this. but. a girl can dream

depression sure be hitting hard today. i feel like i've been working incessantly since the year started, and that goes on year after year, and i keep having nothing to show for it lol true go girl give us nothing energy

i wasn't super confident about the colours at first but aaaaa I'm happy with how it's coming along #wip

I have managed to make some writing progress again today, and I broke 20k words for my necromancers story 🖤 now that I drafted this chapter I was struggling with, I'm hoping it gets a little easier again (especially because things are about to go very wrong very quickly lol)

on main i saw this post asking people to talk about their historical setting stories, and sometimes the little devil on my shoulder says i could write a cool 1400 florence drama if i wrote ryan's backstory, but luckily there is a little angel to remind me about the other book and a half i'm writing

making art with a target audience of one (me) #oc

getting hit with very negative feelings about my art AND writing out of the blue truly sucks 🫩 i guess it'll come to pass... my brain can't let me be in a good mood for too long I suppose

i keep meaning to post a sketch here, and i keep telling myself that I just want to fix one thing before I do and then I never do it because *it's just a sketch* and the cycle repeats

writing is going well, i'm so much more confident in this new direction so here's to hoping things will click into place
