So very true. I think it's why I'm really enjoying writing right now. I used to get quite granular while painting too, really try and place myself in the world and get to the core of why everything in the image was the way it appeared at that moment. It wasn't just about creating a pretty image.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨ You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment. This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Did I announce my book too early? Yes. Yes I did. Where am I with it? I don't know...130k words in and looking for a cut off point that makes sense, satisfies, and leaves it open for a follow up. What's it about? Man returns home to investigate his parent's disappearance. Sci-fi mystery adventure.

1. Great, let's do this 2. Here's some useful info (from my agent). You have until March 23, 2026 and it now includes illustrators 3. Here is the Works Lookup link: secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Is Dream Phone Conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Dumb fucks say it's time to consider whether they're onto something x

Gemini installed itself on my dad's phone and changed the function of the side button from 'power off' to 'ask the AI for help'. Enter one very confused 79 year old. I hate this. Can we just stop. 🚫

Chapter 1 is pretty much a lock. Wherever happens with the rest, this is how I want the book to start. Started working on a simple little piece of art based on it this week to celebrate. Ultimately, I would like to do one for each chapter and include them in the finished publication.

sure sex is great but have you ever supported your artist friends during the holidays by buying their lovely work?

After twitter died they are all that are keeping me afloat Keep coming back y'all

ICYMI: Commissions are now closed. I'm having to take up a temp job over Christmas to pay the bills and want to devote my free time to personal projects and writing. I don't know yet whether they will open again in the new year. As ever I remain open to opportunities. I'm not ceasing to art. ❤️

The Day To Shape The Days Upon 24”x36” oil on canvas 🦀 🌊 New work for my Myth America personal series

Final call for now. I will be closing commissions at the end of October as I'll be working a temp Christmas job most of the week to pay the bills. Financially, I can't see past that at the moment and I want to devote more time to writing in the new year, so it might be your last chance for awhile. ❤️

BOOK COVER ARTISTS QRP with your book covers 📚 #BookCovers

🚫It's not AI. It never will be. It's a composite of photo manipulation and painting. I started working like this before AI. I don't use it for everything, the look just really suited what I was going for with the world setting in my book. 📖(more examples in replies)

Thank you for 3k followers everyone! ❤️ Some of you will be happy to hear that there is actually more personal work for my book in progress. It's not ready to show yet though. Until then here's some older work for it, in order too. Perhaps you can even figure out what's going on...maybe...🤔🙃

#the_colour_wheel ...well kinda. Did not expect to struggle for green, or have so much purply stuff. 🎨

“For Honor and Freedom” print drop is LIVE! (Link in Bio) I’m really happy to announce that “For Honor and Freedom” is finally available as a limited print edition and only for 4 days! #gregrutkowski #oilpainting #classicalpainting #battle #medieval #knights #brushes #canvas

Where has my personal work disappeared to? And what a glorious mess of 120k words it is too if I do say so myself. ✍️📖 (WARNING! Fast scrolling text may create flashing imagery)

- Elijah - I’m excited to share another character I illustrated for amazing Mallory Robertson and her book In the Shadow of Elm & Fire. I really enjoyed working on this portrait #characterart #bookcharacterart #bookishartist #bookart #bookillustration #characterillustration #bookcharacter

Now who left this here, I wonder? The last of the commissions for the people than donated money towards my new PC. A final big thank you to you all. You really saved my butt <3 #art #digitalart #humanart #commission #ff14 #hyur

Details update. 📌

Ok I'm doing it. Time to just be me. I can't change the website address without a fair bit of faff but my ko-fi link and bsky handle has now changed. I'll update anything else whenever I remember it exists xD.

Considering moving away from the Whitemane Design branding. It feels like a remnant of something that isn't worth holding on to anymore. Times have changed. I've changed. And it's not reflective of my goals anymore. Plus I don't think I've been asked to design anything for about 6 years now. 🤔

In addition to plein air landscape paintings, my twice-a-month portrait painting sessions have been really enjoyable and challenging.

Happy accident pretty much sums up my entire process. Even though I'm writing more now I still find this to hold true. It's that joy of discovery.

QRT with your starry art!

I'll be adding all the finished work from my mentorships to the MIR website over the next few days. Here are the completed pieces from the first 4 semesters! Quite a few are still in progress so I'll be adding them later. Incredible stuff from everyone ❤️

So because of UK rules I can't access my DMs on here anymore without providing a face scan or credit card information to verify my age. I can't do the face scan and it wouldn't except my card details, so unless @bsky.app provides another way to do it you'll have to email me.

Your pfp is your therapist. I err...well...hmm...❓⁉️

Got it's first sale today! Yay! Thank you! ❤️
