Digital artists, share your first digital art vs now! Not exactly my first piece of digital art but was my first piece of tablet art. 2014 -> 2026

Figured I’d make a proper pinned post: Hiya, I’m Pearl, a UK-based artist who likes to draw fanart and merch. I run a shop with my designs, along with commissions every now and then. Shop: www.redbubble.com/people/pearl... Comms: vgen.co/Pearlglimmer

Same friend a few hours later on my singing: “Did anyone tell you that you sound like a violin?”

Absolutely legendary feedback from my friend on a drawing I’m working on: “She looks like she’s enjoying it but in the way a cancer patient is enjoying it.”

This is the difference between drawing with a reference and drawing without one. That dress still looks iffy to me. #fgo

Attention every artists!! ACGGOODS is here!! #wooacry #artistbusiness

Contribitor Spotlight 💥 Please give it up for @pearlglimmer.bsky.social !💗 Thank you for sharing your talents for this zine ! #arcadionfanzine

More reference sheets done! Did it for 2 different clients, though it turned out that one of them had commed me years back for art! #ffxiv #vgencomm

I have a new service up specifically for #ffxiv Fanfest goers! Want stickers for the sticker trade? I can make one for you! vgen.co/Pearlglimmer... #vgencomm

I haven’t posted wips in my socials ever since genai was a thing, but…maybe…would people want to see them again?

Hmmm…with Fanfest in Berlin coming up, would people be interested in commissioning stickers for the sticker trade? It’s gonna be a simple headshot + manufacturing costs

MY FRIENDS ALL GOT FANFEST TICKETS!!!!!

DOUBLE OUTDOOR FURNISHING LETS GOOOOOOOOO!

Alright, Id. #fgo

Reference sheet commission for a client! Got too many subpar references as an artist so I opened this option half as a joke…but someone actually bought it, and five in 1 go too! #ffxiv #VgenComm

Just had someone try to commission me on vgen asking for a character sheet except they picked my FFXIV in game option and gave me a clearly NOT FFXIV character. Probably because the FFXIV option is $15 while the actual option they’re looking for starts at $300. Idiot.

I almost put down an order for 5400 business cards because of misunderstanding the ordering system, and freaked out when I saw the price was over £500 LOL. Actual final price: £33 for 300 business cards.

Triple Triad commission for a returning client! They wanted it for their friend who’s apparently OBSESSED with TT… I don’t get it, but I respect it. #ffxiv #VGenComm #vgen

QRP with women! Happy women’s day!

Sigh…I was lucky enough to dodge the first 2 waves of extra fees but couldn’t dodge the 3rd. Highly considering actually opening my Fourthwall shop now.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be including a surcharge on all future commissions to cover #VGen processing fees starting from next week! Anyone who places an order before the start of next week will be locked into the old price no matter when I actually start the commission!

So as someone who has never been to Fanfest and is going to the EU one… How many WoL stickers should I prepare for the exchange? And should I prep any MTG cards for trading too?

Rest in peace, Valiaa. We never raided together and this piece was our main interaction with each other, but I still appreciate the healer tips you gave me for FRU. I hope you can enjoy the fight however you want on the other side.

Trying to see if speedpaints are popular! Even though the colouring itself took almost 6 hours… #ffxiv #speedpaint

Maybe I should just stick to using my username as my shop name…

Thank you everyone for visiting my booth at Kupocon! I don’t think this is even my entire sticker haul, and I got a couple small stuff and prints too that weren’t in this pic. This will definitely all go into my sticker book…at some point! #kupocon #megapom

Day 2! Come visit!

I’m a bit late, but I’m here at @kupocon.com!

It’s one week till @kupocon.com and my catalogue is ready! Job gauge charms are back, but this time I also included new items - Yan stickers, notebooks and sticker books to keep all those stickers you traded!

Hey artists! Quote with your women art! #digitalart #fanart #ffxiv #apothecarydiaries #commission #vgencomm

Happy 2 year anniversary P3R! Still gotta finish the game and The Answer at some point… #persona3 #p3r

Me making wigs for myself is just seeing how many tools I can get away with not using. So far it’s glue and corn splint. #wip

-Haurchefant Greystone- unpublished artwork from a while ago, prints and merch available at Kupocon London 💙 #ffxiv #ffxivart #kupocon

This ended up being the only thing I got from Megacon but THANK YOU FOR TRADING MERLINS WITH ME @/yuuchiemi!

Day 2! Come visit us!

This is incredibly last minute, but I’m tabling at Megacon with @shionart.bsky.social and @lumzalum.bsky.social! Come visit us for FFXIV merch (and other random IPs)!

Maomao! Originally drew her around Season 1, but never bothered to finish it. Finally got off my ass to complete it because I realised I could use it as a print for upcoming cons… #apothecarydiaries #maomao #fanart

Why does the lighting make it look like it was done with AI? Goddammit. #wip #apothecarydiaries #maomao

PARCELFORCE I HATE YOU. You don’t tell me when my package is being delivered, attempt to deliver at times when I’m not home (and lie that you attempted it one day when I KNOW you haven’t come up to my apartment at all), then when I reschedule delivery to today YOU DON’T.

4 hours of prog today on M10S trying to clear I’m about to go mad D:

Since I had a bit of free time after 90% of my con prep was done, here’s a new piece of art for my #ffxiv glam series!

M9S clear! We took about 2.5 hours, with another half hour spent fixing DDoS issues (we all ended up downloading Cloudflare). Honestly the fight is…pretty easy?
