you should be more like me and instead of chasing a number chase likes from specific people and then get really sad when they don't interact

Today is my birthday! 🎂 I feel grateful for everyone who supports me, my art and the work I love. It makes even the hardest days brighter and gives me the strength to keep creating🫶 If you could spare a repost, it would mean a lot and help my work reach more people 🤗

🪽 QRP with your wing art! 🪽

Anyway 99% of my 2025 art is under u NDA but I guess I can show my Ink drawings of Salina. Some of them will be for sale on some EU cons (depending on application acceptance. I'll post my schedule later)

I should stop posting when I'm drunk because I'm trying to look professional here and start giving lectures on art conventions, and I can't have organizers realize that any of my lectures will end up with the message that media and art should have less censorship and filters.

Recently played Portal 1 and 2 for the first time. You know... I kinda realized how safe and inoffensive modern games are. Which is cool and all, but also I wouldn't mind more game villains calling me a fat orphan in ten different ways while I actively try to kill them.

I remember around 2 years ago I tried to get into investing, bought a few stocks of Nvidia, AMD and something else... And then sold them all and closed my account the moment I lost 50€ cuz I was too anxious. I'm not that sad cuz I would only earn like 300€ rn, but it's still funny.

THIS I would rather hear you being overconfident in your work than tell me "it sucks". Better tell "I'm not yet satisfied with my own work, but I'm learning. Can you give me some advice?" And for the love of God, don't argue with the advice if you asked for it! It's so annoying.

Why did I suddenly get a bunch of followers? Bluesky list or from outside?

Had some plans for new BG3 fanarts, but after all the shit show with Larian and genAI usage in new Divinity, I have no desire to interact with any of their old and new products. I feel bad for artists and developers who put their soul in those games. You guys didn't deserve this.

Art vs Artist

So has anyone with ADHD actually tried a chair like this? Is it comfortable in a long run? I like the idea of being able to cross my legs comfortably, but not sure if its good for my back. I need a new chair and I'm torn between getting this one or just sabotaging my finances for Herman Miller.

I don't need a 20 euro brush just because it's pink, I don't need a 20 euro brush just because it's pink, I don't need a 20 euro brush just because it's pink, I don't...

Oh hey, I turned 30 today 🤸🏻‍♀️ Never expected I would end up reaching this age tbh, but the only thing I want to say is... The 13 year old me would be a huge fan of mine and that feels nice. I am following our dreams, child. You did good. I'm proud of you.

"Jack?.." Titanfall 2 fanart in the year of our lord 2025 #titanfall2

If you are at Dokomi, come say hi😊 Hall 3, booth 3H102

Something I recently noticed. 95% of art tutorials from reels/tiktok don't teach you how to become better artist. They simply teach how to better utilize procreate/Photoshop/CSP etc. Lots of kids now mistake the knowledge of programs for art skill. They reach for stylus before trying a pencil.

Selling the few fanart illustrations with a specific character at the Artist Alley. Random person: "Wow, love your art! But damn I absolutely hate that character!" Proceeds to yap for 20 minutes about why the character sucks and is annoying and everyone who likes him is cringe

Show me how you draw armor 🧛🏻‍♀️🗡️

If you are at Fantasy Basel, come find me in Hall 2.1, booth 626🙂‍↕️

Test printing Death illustration. My printer thinks he is very funny with his bugs 🙄

FaeCrate and Zoey were absolute pleasure to work with 🥰

For the first time ever, I LOST money by participating at artist alley 🫠 CFMF Rotterdam was shit. Don't recommend it at all. Did not even cover my hotel and flight expenses. I am now minus 700 euros. 🫠🫠 Worst convention I ever been at. Period.

If you see this QRP with your animal painting. THE MEOWNCIL IS HERE AGAIN TO DECIDE YOUR FAITH

🗣️ FREELANCE ARTISTS I can't take on the cover project right now due to my busy schedule, so I am gathering a list of artists to send to the client. It's an urban fantasy romance, deadline - late summer. If you are interested, please post your links and examples in the comments.
