My very good man Lucius got a neat new reference sheet! I haven't updated his ref since 2021. And man, he really needed a much better one.
The same for Rebecka! Although her old one wasn't as bad but it's meh. Very happy how cute she turned out

A little Flipaclip Animation of my character! 👋 Idk exactly what to call this art style but I felt like animating something like that. Feels retro. Haven't animated something in forever lol
Find me here
I finally finished it! 🐺🐺 I hope my mom will like it ☺ This is a mix between a wolf and a bird. That's why he has feathers on the chest. And yes you're right it's a double exposure 😊well.. I tried.. ! I really love colorful and creative feathers , that's why I drew so many of them on its head 😆 I'm currently working on another digital artwork! (Arttrade ) and I'll upload a speedpaint of it on youtube!! I already worked 3 hours on it and not even the head is done 😂 🐺 . References used for wolf anatomy, the bird (kingfisher) and the orchid ☺ (all real life photos, no art from others! )

Oh my - what a color explosion!
Icon of my characters rainbow beam form! I somewhat dislike drawing my characters Inferno forms because everything is just fire, shading is hard to add for me. Because you know.. fire is light. Light everywhere. Wouldn't say I don't like it though. They're very fun to draw still! And especially Lui's colorful mutation is cool!
Thanks for looking!
Hooooooly crap, your coloring is astronomical..! It really brings out the best in your style. Keep it up, you're doing a superb job <3
Thank you very much!!! :o ❤
Maybe I'm overthinking this but at times anywhere on the internet I decided to share my ocs, barely anyone really interacts with my content compared to when I post art I did for others (e.g. Comms, gifts) , meaning it's other people's characters. It was fine at first, I mainly draw for myself after all but I noticed how it's not improving a single bit over years. Which makes me wonder if my content is simply uninteresting.
Repetitive furry headshots get me a lot of traction, the thing is that's not what I want to be known for, which is why I stopped including these artwork in a lot of places I'm on. (Other than FA because that's were my clients are so I of course post results).
See, a lot of attention gives me anxiety. I don't want to be popular with my content. I simply want to feel connected and I want to have a few people liking my work. Which doesn't seem to work at all. And something that I simply lost completely.
Repeatedly trying to built a following is just exhausting. It doesn't matter how hard you try to connect to others/other artists. Nothing works out for me. I just end up sitting alone in the corner again. Part of the problem might also be that I become very socially awkward. I for example don't like chatting. A few years back I had absolutely no issues building a following but I also just drew animals, something I don't really have interest in that much today. With the current art I create I feel like I'm simply invisible. Not only that but I also get zero commissions in that field too. My art is not bad, I'm proud of it, which is something I can't say about pretty much anything else I do in my life.
Big reason why I feel this way about people avoiding my own original content is the none exciting support in shares. What I mean with this is , I get a few likes, maybe a comment if I'm extremely lucky but reshares, no matter the platform aren't there. I got boosted by a big account on a different platform a few days a go which made me extremely happy but literally nobody shared. As if my art is embarrassing and nobody wants it on their own feed as a sharing post.
I enjoy drawing my own characters for yknow myself. And I don't think this will ever stop. It's just an extra nice warm feeling when I did something I'm extremely happy with and it would get loved by maybe 20 people or so. But it's simply not there which is often a big down-putter (if this word exists LOL)
