Been busy with life, but finally got some noticeable progress done! Refined more of his hair & shadowed ear, then worked on the trees a lot. Once I finish the trunks/branches, I’ll start adding more foliage 🍃🍂 #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved

Cooking my own food to distract myself from missing the promise rerun 🥲 #loveanddeepspace #xavier

Not a true progress update but just a closeup of my tree painting.

Today’s progress while I waited for my car to have maintenance done! Some more skin color refining, & then I wanted to work on the shadow side of the hair, but my screen is too greasy with the glare here ☠️, so I gave one background tree leaves. #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved

I'm very out of practice, but here's some random botanical garden photos from today 💖

finally made it home, have some mountain pics ❤️

I’m on a date with my old best friend, my ancient camera, at the botanical garden for tree/plant references. My painting needs help.

Asterine & Valko: A Moonlit Retreat 🌓 Created for me by the incredibly skilled mrdark91.bsky.social! Thank you so much!

Water park this morning, bon dance festival tonight. No painting, just touching grass (water/asphalt)

Proof of progress! Just continuing to refine skin…made a video clip to show the before & after refining I’ve done since adding the color. I’ll just be doing this for the foreseeable future when I have time to paint… #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved

July 29th - the day my bread expires, the date of the next full moon, and hopefully the silence will be shattered (for real). 😭🤞🏽

It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them ✨ #blueberry #art #painting

Didn’t get much done today - my afternoon got randomly consumed with anxiety and I wasted a lot of time feeling bad, but I was working on refining his face earlier. Also, you can see my lighting reference image I made in MagicPoser! #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved

Random book recommendation: I’m not a prolific reader of fiction these days (I mostly read novel-length fanfic because I read fast and it’s free 😅), but I picked up this one on a whim, and it’s honestly one of my favorite books now. I even want to paint fan art for it!

I’ve been grinding so hard for this lol

I played three rounds of Overwatch for the first time in probably 6 years and now it’s all I can think about.

Been busy taking care of house and family for a three day weekend, but the good news is that my car is getting maintenance on Wednesday, and that’s gonna mean like 4 hours guaranteed painting time in a coffee shop at least 😅

I haven’t been able to get much painting time in for the last few days because I was doing home projects and day job work, but I did just build a LEGO camera with my son 🥰

Late night (for me) update! Did my base color layers, and will now be refining and detailing for days and days…and I’ve already figured out what my next #Valko painting will be 🥰 But I’ll lock in and finish this first! #ValkoIsLoved 💛💚

Last grayscale progress update! Moving onto color now! #ValkoIsLoved #BringBackValko

In my latest video I share just some the wonderful things this community has done in Valko's name. If you know of any more please leave it in the comments of the video. I want to share them with my YT audience who don't use socials. ❤️ #ValkoisLoved Watch: youtu.be/vhoQ9--ixmg?...

I’m on Day 3 of ToT and apparently I’m marrying a rich artist businessman I’ve just met.

Again, just slow progress…working on the depth of the leaves (mostly highlights) and smoothing out the rendering. #BringValkoBack #BringBackValko #ValkoIsLoved

Happy birthday, sweet guy. Just some progress with the flowers…been super distracted today so haven’t worked on this much. #HappyBirthdayValko #BringBackValko #BringValkoBack

Apparently I finally got a customer service response 12 hours ago after I wrote to them on July 1st. 🤨 At least no wolf footprint comments…

Xにあげたやつ #恋と深空

I just got Starkid a new 4才-6才 size happi coat/hachimaki set since he’s turning 5 next month, and he loves it so much that he won’t take them off 😆 So I’m just seeing a cute festival kid every time I look at the living room. (We are going to obon in a couple weeks)

Research for my next Valko painting(s)…
