I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

I wrote this like 2 times and then lost it all... But I posted a short history of one of my creature designs that has stuck with me for a while and included some art throughout the years up to now. Please give it a read! Even if only because I had to rewrite it a few times: cara.app/post/4fae718...

Reposting this from my sketchbook for #mermay Some 'orrible little fish fairies xD #mermaid #fairy #cute #creepy #sketch #art

Hey artists, share something!! Pretty sure I retired this pic as I had re-designed the Familiar and never posted it but apparently I had a screenshot of me drawing it on my phone for some reason. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #digitalart #characterart #UnfamiliarAlchemist

I've opened shop on Ko-Fi! So far only shipping within the UK, will update when I get more info on outside of the UK. I've actually had a Ko-Fi ages ago while still using the DarkmaneTheWerewolf name, but sorta forgot about it. I hope to update it a bit and put some stuff I sell at Cons on there

Re-planning the animations for this, thought it'd be nice to show how I plan some more detailed character animations. The legs are part of an older design, used AE to plan their motion but they will be re-drawn to match the body. #gamedev #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Found some big old stones in a field today. I decided it was the perfect place to draw some cute little Folians while enjoying the sun! #stonehenge #folklore #stones #fairytale #cute #sketch #art

Currently away but still getting some sketches done for some new creature designs! #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #traditionalart #characterart #art #angels #sketch

I got a new sketchbook today and took it with me on a forest walk! Saw this Mogling sat up on a waterfall ledge and just had to draw it! (Ink and pencil) #fantasy #fairytale #sketch #monster #forest

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet: Super lucky to have gotten this as she flipped right back over immediately. Her colours are so beautiful!!

The violent jump from 2020 to 2026.

Hi #portfolioday I'm JJ, a UK based fantasy artist! I draw original folklore inspired illustrations in ink and pencil 🧚‍♀️ I've made a book! Please checkbout my webby here: Jjdoodlescapes.squarespace.com

I've been informed it is #PortfolioDay again! Hey all! I'm a fantasy/abstract fantasy artist, I do Animations and Game Dev! Digital and traditional media, currently working on a small game project - Unfamiliar Alchemist in my spare time. Check out my page for animations and videos of my game!!

Looks kinda nice in a frame!! #art #horror #illustration #monster #wolf #eldritch

Tangle Gully is at the Mystic Market today on the Isle of Wight! Its for all things weird, wonderful and whimsical 🧚‍♀️ This is our first craft fayre in Hampshire! If you happen to be around, please pop in and say hi xD

Some simple placeholder buttons - 20 minutes at most to make. Absolutely no need for AI. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #digitalart #UI #NoAI

A new monster design! A bit more of the abstract constructs for a side project. This one being naratively closer to the ones who originally designed the full constructs. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #digitalart #characterart #art #angels

Fuzzy Dino work doodle! I wonder how soft little dinosaurs were... Anyhoo, that's the post xD #fantasy #dinosaurs #raptor #doodle

Took a bit of a break but just starting to actually put things into Unity for testing. #gamedev #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Hey! Bingo!!

I've posted the animation set on my Cara! cara.app/post/8d0fddd... #gamedev #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Got a new editor! I think she's doing a good job. #cat #kitten #animation #cute #gamedev

Finished up two versions of this guy. Though I'd intended for the eyes to be intermittently covered by the frill parts, I also suddenly didn't want them being covered after finishing all the animations. Therefore, two versions! #gamedev #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Quote with your purple art! #spyro #spyrothedragon #dragon

My new business cards have arrived! I changed the design on the back to match the picture on my website landing page x3 #fantasy #fairy #veryprofessional

Bee Uni (Is this a bee?)

Hey artists, drop your sketches, fast! #2Dart #digitalart #art #fantasy #monhun #monsterhunter

A certain little SOMEONE got into my office today and made some... "modifications" to some sketches I've been working on for book 2! 😡😺

The Serpent King! An incredibly old drawing, re-done and completed. Based very loosely on the New Testament Revelations 13, originally designed as a boss but since replaced. I still love the design so this may be repurposed. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #digitalart #characterart #art

"It came back! I TOLD you not to feed it yesterday!" It seems Tyrant Moglings are a bit like Seagulls! A pen and pencil picture from today 🦕 🎃 #fantasy #fairytale #dinosaur

A rough sketch test of another abstract construct. I tend to find animating things moving only a little bit to be much harder than if they were making bigger movements since I can't fudge it as "Its moved fast!" #gamedev #gamedevelopment #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Working on some abstract constructs for a side project that is still very much being prototyped. Unsure whether to go further with it but its a nice break from Unfamiliar Alchemist to ensure I dont burn out. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #2danimation #art #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

If you see this, post your painting/drawing of a dragon! #dragon #fatalis #monhun #monsterhunter

Happy Thursday! Here's my morning meeting doodle, it seems to be a robot of some kind... idk I guess I felt like drawing something clanky xD #fantasy #robot #machine

Updated some of the art for my crocs! Spriggan has had a re-draw of his art showing off his eyes (also updated my PFP with this version too!) #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2Dart #digitalart #characterart #art

Another #PortfolioDay already??? I'm a varied Fantasy/abstract Fantast artist, animator and game dev. Currently working on two small projects, the main one being Unfamiliar Alchemist not shown below but is blasted on my main page. Portfolio: cara.app/bee3001

Slightly diminish a game Tenant Evil.

Hey artists! QRP with your sketch vs final! 🧚‍♀️

Hey Artists! QRP with your sketch Vs final!!

2025 has been a huge year for me and Tangle Gully! We had 3 event appearances, I produced my book and I got my website and store online :D For 2026 I plan to finish book 2, attend more events, explore some new ideas and even get my video game project(s) to a presentable stage! See you next year!

Can finally post this one properly now. Quick pencil test of a Teostra from Monster Hunter! #monsterhunter #MH #MHW #Teostra #Teo #2Danimation #2Dart #animation #traditionalanimation

Just testing if animated gifs work...

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! I dont really do very detailed whole artworks... I animate so my MO is to simplify more! But this might be the most complex art of a creature between the scale detail and the fur and stuff. #art #fantasy #kirin #quilin

Breakables and a slightly updated inventory display! Also added some animation to the inventory (which are now the Familiar's Scales) so that it would smoothly come in and out of view. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #2DAnimation #art #alchemy #UnfamiliarAlchemist

Hey I'm here too!!

Practicing some inky mushrooms! Pencil/ink sketches. Also the moment my fine liner started running out of ink so I'm trying to find a new one that's extremely thin and water resistant as I use these for water colouring too. #art #fae #traditionalart #ink #mushrooms #fungi #alchemy

I havent really decided if I want to make the world map of #UnfamiliarAlchemist a single big painting, but whatever the case, i wanted to practice a bit of painting for it. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #art #watercolour #watercolor #aquarell #ink #traditionalArt #fantasy #fairytail
