I like to draw, mainly fantasy characters design. she/they

I've been unable to draw for so freakishly long because of work, but now my situation is once again changing and I will have more time to do what I enjoy. I might focus a bit more on fanart for the near future to focus on raw drawing skill instead of that + design skills. Here's Alucard to start.

A drawing of Alucard from Castlevania series, his design is that of his classic appearance from Symphony of the Night with a sword from the netflix series.

Finally I have some time to draw again but it got me thinking. If you're an artist share with me what do you listen to while drawing? I just have the same music album looped every time I sit down to draw and I'd like to try something new.

I got invited to a dnd game tonight, started thinking about a character and a backstory, maybe I would make some illustrations for game moments and stuff and then I discovered that half the table that I didn’t know (friends of a friend) are ai sloppers.

I think we as art community should have like a hippocratic oath to perform and peer review ai investigations to anyone who would be confused about if an image they see is actual art or not.

So, uhhh I accidentaly tagged another artist that I was looking at today when I posted this drawing. Don't really know how it works and it took me 7 hours to notice but hope it didn't seem too weird. If anyone saw it anyway.

I've dabbled in worldbuilding for years now and my personal project passed through many, many iterations but now, I think I stumbled into a magic system that feels more settled and gives my the tools to explore stories and themes in sufficient manner.

I'm spending a lot of time recently thinking and pondering on the style of my art and really nail down how I do things. It's hard but I feel like I'm coming closer and closer to something I'm satisfied enough with.

Yesterday I posted a Skeletor I like to draw and redesign to track my progress through the 5 years of learning #art so I though I'm gonna post a few of the previous version along with a new one I finished now.

This one is newest. There's still a lot of things I feel like I'd do better now but I guess they'll have to wait until I do this again.This is second newest that I did like a month or 2 ago even though I posted it yesterday. My drawing folders and poting schedule is a nightmare...This is an oldie from I think is January 2022 and the oldest that I have access to on hand. There's technically like 3 to maybe 5 more that I did but they aren't worth looking at enough for me to turn all of my storages over to find them.This one appears to have been made aound February 2024. You could say it's on the same level or even better than the current one but I kinda hate it.
