{Offline} Thanks all who came and hung out on stream~! Had a lot of fun and laughs while finishing the lineart for this character design sheet~ See you next time~! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

{Online} Continuing the momentum, let's try finishing this character design~ twitch.tv/shay_the_maker

Thanks all who stopped by stream today~! Was a lot of fun and hope to get back into the swing of things~

Wait.... How do I stream again??! twitch.tv/shay_the_maker

Hot chocolate my beloved~

The difference a lil over a year of making art makes~

The Calm Lil (redraw) piece for my neglected writing WIP "Shadow of Doubt." This is Kit and his cat Milo enjoying some piece amidst ~the murders~ in the story.

Sometimes you get the itch to draw but you don't have any direction to take that itch... then you just fall into madness.

My most ambitious artwork yet. A lil something for my story WIP Dread Secrets~ Pictured are my characters Ansellus Kestrel (King of Wisea) and Celesto Krone (The Dread Queen). Calling this piece: The Final Stand.

@ircys.bsky.social Take this as an early birthday present Lil bro XD #Art #PixelArt #Femboy #Sus #MaDawg

trying to develop my ocs more through full illustrations, helps me visualize them easier haha #ocart #characterart #digitalart

Think this might be the final version of Exalos' map~ Exalos is a flat world (for very silly reasons, same silly reasons there is a perfectly circular island that is not perfectly in the center lol)

Some ink only drawings I did to get myself a bit more confident in my drawing without being able to erase~ (also notes to no one about said sketches)

zero from drakengard. I was trying to play with more dramatic lighting this time around, and I think that it really enhances the piece compared to what it was before, haha. #drakengard #fanart #digitalart

Quick figure study sketch + ink only + ink spilled =

rendered a much more detailed full body of an oc that I am developing for the passion project I am working on. still experimenting, but I think it turned out well! #characterart #characterdesign #ocart #originalcharacter #fantasyart #characterillustration

worked on a character piece as a part of an art event on Discord. I think it turned out really well, and I really like the design of this character! #digitalart #characterart #characterdesign #ocart #originalcharacter #characterillustration

Some expression studies I did for The Maker (was too lazy to draw the glasses for this xp)

Some quick drawing and pose studies so I can play around a bit more with a painting style~

did a nice study of a quiet corner, was trying to improve my color matching and observation skills. Feels nice to try and improve my background understanding a bit. #digitalart #artstudy #environmentart #paintingpractice #studyart #bgart #backgroundart

When will the thunderstorms go away :( I wanna stream again...

Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy. Draw what makes you happy.

A lil piece for my story Dread Secrets~ Tried some new rendering and painting techniques for this one and had a lot of fun. Characters: The God of Nightmares and Illusion (dark hair, she/her) and the God of Memories and Remembrance (white hair, he/him).

Guess who finally opened blender after having it downloaded for a few years? (literally just did the monkey part of the doughnut tutorial by Blender Guru lol)

Waking up from a dream and going "Who are you people?!!!" to the sudden FULL CAST OF CHARACTERS in my head. They have a story/backgrounds and I don't know these people are but they're apparently not going anywhere so now I'm making character references/notes and DX

Internet troubles persist DX One day the gods will allow me to stream again DX

Making story notes like: "To REALLY hurt people..." and then typing out the most heart-wrenching and angsty shit I have ever read or typed up or thought for a character's last moments. uwu

One day the thunderstorms will leave and I can stream again...

We stand together or we all fall. - NO AI audiobooks - NO AI covers - NO AI book trailers - NO AI character drawings - NO AI marketing copy - NO AI “research” - NO AI editors - NO AI translation - NO AI at all

I HAVE FOUND THE FILL LASSO TOOL!!!! I am unstoppable~! >:D (I have been doing art for.... at least 10 years and only JUST discovered this exists DX)

No stream today, severe thunderstorm where I live and that usually means my internet cuts out a lot. 😭
