Update, doing a bunch of colored promotional art may have slowed me down a bit but the pay off is that chapter six is lookin’ sexy as hell #wip #comicwip #magic #fantasyart #webcomic #art #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

#OC:IshtarCelis Skirts/Dresses cause ass too fat /J IN ALL SERIOUSNESS I think it depends really bc their preference is less “pants or skirts/dresses” & more “whatever is more flashy/form fitting/revealing in some way” cause that’s just how they like to dress, so

Unfortunately the only OC I seem to post about most is Ishtar bc I haven’t really posted any others so its hard to say 😭 Since only v few of my followers know my other OCs

Commission for @estrelladeishtar.bsky.social 💕Thank you!! This was so fun <3 #art #digitalart #commissions #nostraightroads

Any help is appreciated! I also have my permit test this Saturday. It’s $46. I hope I pass it. I’m nervous as heck. Also may need to buy more DayQuil and NyQuil please. 😭 I’m tired of being sick.

Honestly the number one thing I can recommend to people who want to be illustrators/designers/ect is to get REALLY good at managing your money. Save everything you can. You may have months where you’re tearing your hair out bc of too much work and you will 100% have months with no work at all.

For the people in the bleachers: you are NOT a failure if you have a PT/FT job while you pursue your creative career. You're taking care of your financials and keeping yourself afloat. There's NO shame in that, and we need to erase the mythology of the "starving" or "tortured" creator.

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...

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well. If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

Should mention that given we established payment plan stuff its being done in 4-5 payments—first one was covered thankfully w help from donations but there’s still 3 more to be made, so anything helps!

The Council, As Above More info in the thread! Ch 1-5 are available to read on my site w/ 6 on the way!(: #indiewebcomic #indiecomic #indieproject #art #smallartist #ocsky #characterart #noAI #webcomic #comic #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasycomic #magic #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Naiya and Dorian from my #comic As Above! The trouble making not-couple who definitely aren't still meeting up in private after their engagement was nullified. #art #characterart #noAI #webcomic #ocsky #fantasy #romanceart #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Today’s teaser. I woke up at 3am to finish this then napped all morning. #art #smallartist #originalcharacter #characterart #noAI #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Might go through with reopening NSFW c✨mms to the public—I think I’m in a space where I might be okay doing them again for the public eye…? I’ll just get around to updating that info later However—those c✨mms will incur additional upcharges, so.

I’m willing to bring back $25 full body commissions so I can pay this by the 6th. Please share around. ;w;

Some advice to artists that struggle to finish any WIPs: If finishing a full WIP is very difficult for you, I recommend setting small goals within each artwork you do Like for example, instead of trying to do everything in one sitting; make a goal like “Okay I’ll just do half the lineart today”

…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

If anyone wants to help out so I can get a blood pressure cuff, I’d appreciate it. I need to log what’s needed so that way when I go to urgent care I’ll have it recorded. My dog’s vet needs pretty much emptied my wallet. ko-fi.com/missalppy

I'll be posting some art highlights this week as well, but if you've been curious, now's the time to go go go! mercuryshousecomics.com/chapter-5-go... #art #smallartist #webcomic #comic #ocsky #fantasy #fantasyart #drawing #illustration #fantasyartist #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic

Realized i forgot to do a post asking for sharing my art on my b-day & its too late now (a whole month + late) Alas 😭

Breaking into a new sketchbook

You gotta randomly tell ppl in your life you proud of them, how they’ve affected you. How happy you are for them. There is no right moment. Make it awkward. Make it random.
