btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

I like to imagine Astarion is so narcissistic he would commission portraits of himself just to check his hair because he can't see his reflection. God I do love painting him though, so I would happily take that commission. #Astarion #bg3 #baldursgate #fanart

Every time i've gone out drinking with friends recently my friends mutuals have brought up "oh youre the one who makes all the paintings of 'the man'™ aren't you?" or "OH YOU SIMP FOR THAT VAMPIRE DUDE" and at this point I'm not even shamed to admit it lmao. like ye sure, it is I, the simp.

"Pleasant evening" сomm #Astarion #bg3 #Baldursgate3

Distract me from the pain from my weightlifting session lmaooo

the pain

Unusual work for me that I did some time ago for one book Slavic mythological creatures that bring money to their owner🌝 wish I had one

today has been a nightmare and it has squashed any energy I had for art, so I'm going to call it a day with a quick lazy study and continue the run I started yesterday since Larian refuses to let me in the stress test for patch 8 #art #BaldursGate3 #astarion

I love causing mayhem. I just jumped in a facebook thread full of boomers talking about how much they hate cosmetic fillers telling them I have had lots of fillers and cosmetic surgeries to drive them nuts playing spot the procedure… *dear reader: I have had exactly zero cosmetic surgeries*

there is an art flash mob on twtr

I will never stop painting Astarion because there's so many amazing virtual photographers in this community who keep inspiring me. Thanks to @kl4ptrap.bsky.social for the ref. #Astarion #bg3 #baldursgate3

Buddy: Kai. You realise I can tell what you’re looking at because you bite your lip every time you scroll past a picture of Astarion?? … Oh no

“Guys is it gay to look hot to women?”

Do men with slutty mid length wavy hair actually exist in real life? because in the UK they almost always have short back and sides but honestly what am I supposed to run my hands through and grip onto when i’m …

This industry is so unsustainable. Morale is in the gutter. I hope the gaming industry burns to the ground so we can build something better from the ashes

Your #Valentine this year again : Astarion! Who would have guessed? #BaldursGate3 #BG3 #Bg3art #Astarion #ValentinesDay #fanart #DigitalArt

Astarion painting from summer last year. :> #bg3 #baldursgate3 #astarion #traditionalpainting

I usually don’t take commissions because of my aphantasia. I’m afraid to make sub-par works for clients. However I’m really trying to overcome this fear and improve so I’d like to open up a single commission slot if someone is interested (and understanding of my creative anxiety/ limitations.)

Happy valentine's day! I wasn't able to finish this in time because my graphics tablet is broke *AGAIN* Oh wellll!! Hope you like it anyway <3 #astarion #bg3 #baldursgate3 #bg3astarion #art #fanart #illustration

My friend who made fun of me for being feral for Astarion finally played BG3 and got absolutely rizzed by the bloodsucker WHO'S LAUGHING NOW HUH???

"Why do you like him? he's the worst person."

I always forget to make timelapses of my paintings or something goes wrong but not this time!! I'm always so embarrassed to share my process because I work in sections get bored then start another section #Astarion #bg3 #baldursgate3 #bg3fanart #art #illustration

The way certain artworks gain popularity can be so unpredictable. An artist might pour their heart into a piece they love, only for it to go unnoticed, while something they feel indifferent about resonates with others and takes off.

There was a dude drinking a six pack of beers in the sauna at 10am. Godspeed buddy. Glad to know I'm not the only one goin through it.

New year, Same bloody hyperfixation. #Astarion #illustration

Sanguine serenity🩸 I really enjoy practising oil painting. the lighting in this is so pretty too oh my goodness. #Astarion #baldursgate3 #bg3 #fanart

I love streaming and painting with my friends because they will just roast me for painting Astarion *again* #Astarion #bg3 #baldursgate3 #bg3fanart #illustration

Hey everyone! I wanted to showcase the material graph of the ice shader I posted this week. Hope this can be helpful:) #techart #UE5 #gamedev

Hey Bioware folks, terribly sorry to hear the news of more layoffs in this industry. We don't have a ton of open positions at Bungie, but if you happen to see anything listed here please feel free to reach out. careers.bungie.com/jobs

As someone who is into alt (goth/punk/metal) it will never stop being cringe to me when alt people act like pick me’s when it comes to the fashion choices of other subcultures. Who cares if someone dresses “basic” or colourful no need to be so judgemental. You’re not the arbiters of taste.

If you want me to draw someone else then idk man grease my palm with cold hard cash and commission me or quit bitching. idk what to tell you man. Saying less is free.

Being autistic is so hard because i’m not very relatable nor am I able to connect with people very easily. I just try to be nice and hope for the best but engaging with others in ways that seem genuine (i.e. not forced or awkward) can be tricky. Does anyone have any advice?

Go outside and touch grass?? Uhh ok👌

The lack of media literacy is ASTOUNDING these days. Just because a character is morally ambiguous to start, doesn’t mean they’re *forever* evil and liking them is wrong. Sometimes characters are supposed to be disliked. Sometimes personal growth & redemption is part of the plot. People are complex.

always strange to witness anyone coming to an artist's personal art to complain "your experiences aren't universal" or "the world doesn't revolve around you." we're aware of that. my art does revolve around me, though. it is from my perspective and i made it for me. you should make some art for you.

Wild that we live in a timeline where BG3 fandoms are taking a stronger stance against Elon than governments.

In a thousand years This was an armour study that got carried away. He was wearing the armour of agility that time I lost a certain duel and he suddenly decided to make me cry. First Astarion art of the year 🥂 Cheers #Astarion

Lord have mercy I have a strong urge to learn to play the harp. (I do not have harp space)

Shame it’s the wrong timezone for me but sharing in case anyone here is looking for work

I don’t think AI art bros understand that people value authenticity more than they respect perfection. No matter how “good” AI art might become, it will always be mediocre in comparison to even the worst sketch by someone learning to draw.
