I made a status update post on Patreon about the state of my three comic projects: - IT Raven - Brand of Gold - Old Magic It's available for anyone who has pledged to even the lowest tier - I'll post some teasers in the comments in case you want a look! #artwip www.patreon.com/posts/status...

I genuinely am not sure where to social-media-market my art. X is awful. Instagram doesn't even let you browse tags so what is the POINT of that platform? Tumblr seems to be for fanart. I don't do well on video format, pictures and words are more my thing. Have some #wipart for your trouble.

New dungeons and dragons campaing means a new character. Here is aleph, black dragonborn paladin commisioned by #faetiainen #dnd

Oh, uh, #Portfolioday I'm Ylv, and I make illustrations, DnD commissions, comics and games. I draw sad guys making out with each other and feral wild girls living their best life with trees.

another practise portrait in this style! this time with neve <3 #dragonage #veilguard #art

Art train! I don't always draw Pokemon art, but this year I have exceptionally already drawn four pieces for it, so there you go.

Ten years ago I was sitting on a night train to nowhere, with nothing but my backpack and suitcase, ready to move cities. I doodled her on that train, and she was the first of my blue works - a Blue Period that never ended, it seems. For my ten-year artist anniversary I wanted to #redraw her.

Now that Said The Stars is done, I actually went and made another small game, this time with pictures and music. This one will take five minutes to complete (it's not out yet) and it touches on themes of hunger, tradition and cruelty of gods. Just need to test and tweak it a bit more.

Post your space art ✨ I did not expect to be enjoying Helluva Boss as much as I have, but having rooted for this character has not come as a surprise.

Oh, I didn't post this here? Uh, Said The Stars, the text-based game I have worked on for past three years, is done. It will receive a handful of editorial updates for typos, thought flaws and general ease of reading, but I made a game. Well. Interactive Fiction. ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-stars

Now would be the perfect time to go read this if you like to binge stuff! It is such a great story if you are crawing for dystopia vibes with romance and magic!

Said The Stars has its SECOND TO LAST UPDATE out. I repeat: the next update, wrapping up the epilogue, will be the last. I rephrase: I have (nearly) finished a thing! ylvanaar.itch.io/said-the-sta... #itchio

This should be the only response if someone who does not make comics tells you your comic is "the worst comic of the internet".

Beyond Journey's End.

Brand of Gold Valentine's special starts today! The readers were able to apply to go on a date of their choice with the character of their choice. Who was chosen from the main cast? Find out tomorrow! tapas.io/episode/3402... #webcomic #valentinesday

QRP with your artwork and share what other passions/jobs/hobbies you have! ✨ I play four instruments on my spare time (violin, piano, singing and guitar) at varying degrees of success, as well as compose my own music. The latter is varying degrees of Weird. Gardening. Every spring. I'm a writer.

I FINISHED IT. Ghilan'nain boss battle was nothing compared to having to paint her helmet, but it is done! Prints coming to sale in my ko-fi.com/faetiainen today! #lucanis #veilguard #dragonage

Today is #Elfbruary day 5, and I was thinking of doing something different - sharing old elven works that I 1. Was not super proud of 2. Which ended up sketch-y or unpolished 3. Have not shared often in my socials These are from 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

This year I vow to do my best to finally move out from sites like Instagram and TikTok that have mainly become sites to spread propaganda. I have never had big following anywhere, so it is not like the change is dramatic, but it still stings to have to start from scrap over and over again...

In today's redraws (and today's WIP offering for #Elfbruary): "Why would I scold you for bad behaviour when I can just as easily encourage it?" These two are to each other the sibling(s) they lost contact with.

The Chinese internet is merciless 😭😭

OC art share! Thank you for the tag! I am starting a new DnD campaign this week and made some new art for her to join the spirit of #elfbuary as well. I am too shy to tag, but I would love to see your OCs!

OC art share! Thank you UwU On the Eve of Elfbruary, here's Narya one of the main characters of Paths of Avarnight, who chronically loses their pants... Poor elf Tagging.... @rikkisu.bsky.social @teunip.bsky.social @ylvanaar.bsky.social

OC art share! Thank you for the tag, aaa ❤️ My baby girl has grown so much through the years, she will definitely also be a part of #Elfbruary starting tomorrow ✨

Recently I have been painting so much from reference and learning lighting and shading portraits and made a portrait in 2h with no reference at all. It does seem like some lessons do sink in when you take your time to learn them.
