Been really enjoying @brandonsanderson.com ‘s writing lectures. The part about outliners and discovery writers did make me giggle. I think that, looking at my Miro, you can tell which one I am. To be fair I went through like.. five different plots doing this.

Been having a great time working on this! Did the Sins designs and Lust/Sloth/Greed enemies. The art is still very much WIP but loving the direction we’re going.
We've been working on a new trailer for Diabolocracy and made these fun intro screens for some of the Sins. Who's your favorite? #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #roguelite #turnbased

Yesterday there was a huge earthquake in my city, so if anyone could commission me or support through Ko-fi this week, I would deeply appreciate it. I'm a pixel artist, my commissions starts at $15 Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/rafagars VGen: vgen.co/RafaGars
Going to try the 100 Face Challenge again. I think I only managed 10 last time in my old sketchbook? Let’s see how far I get! I find human faces so challenging. Curious if it’ll help. Trying to spend less time per face to not burn myself out.
Some traditional painting. Base in acrylic inks then painted in gouache and finished with Neocolor crayons. It wasn’t quite what I was going for but on the whole I’m happy with it ❤️
I technically have two new sketchbooks, one is fully new and the other is an old one I has only used a few pages of and gave up on. Painted on some acrylic and drew some happy little AC friends on top with acrylic marker. Then added some scribbles of Isabel in different styles.
It started out as a little experimental sketchbook painting to cover up some drawings I truly disliked. Then I liked it a lot and scanned it and the scan turned out good so I did a couple small edits and now it’s a print we’re going to put in our living room??? First time I’ll have my own art up 🤯
Along with the new sketchbook I filmed a flip through of the old one. It took me YEARS to fill this, it’s my first ever completed sketchbook 😂😭🤡 #sketchbook
First page of my new sketchbook done! Trying out different ways to draw and paint. Having a lot of fun with it for sure.
Making some art for this and it’s so much fun ❤️ Worked up a first draft of the Hell break room and could feel my soul leaving my body as I was drawing it 😂 @chaosgremlingames.com is awesome to work with and love seeing the game come together!
For this week's #ScreenshotSaturday, we're sharing what Hell's breakroom looks like in the world of Diabolocracy, a #roguelite #turnbased #tactics game where the bureaucracy of Hell runs on violence. What's your favorite detail? Mine's the ☕ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
Made some art! Followed a Blender Tutorial by Polygon Runway as the base because I hadn't touched Blender in a while. Did my own lighting setup and then an overpaint. Enjoying this workflow, definitely want to experiment more with it.
Finally finished this drawing of my husband's Genasi Swashbuckler! It's been a very busy couple of weeks 😭 Was nice to have some drawing time. Our living room is still utter chaos but my PC is set up at least!
Sorry on lack of activity! We just moved flats and it's been a lot of packing and unpacking 🫠
Had fun seeing the Barbie Movie for the first time last night!
Another WIP, cropped in. I swing between liking then hating my drawings I don't know why. Struggling with colour and saturation balance a lot 🙃
WIP of what I'm working on because it's fun to share process! My husband's Genasi swashbucler rogue from our DnD campaign. A -sailor- not a pirate.
Some 5min studies with the Warriorpainters people 😄 Making me hungry..
The person who invites you to Bluesky is the closest thing we have to vampire sires.
Finished my Kenku Bard, Chee! We had a fun time over Pandemic lockdown playing DnD over Zoom, it was a lovely experience during what was a pretty shitty time. This was a tough drawing, I'm not used to this painting style. Gotta keep at it though!
really wanted to draw Kass & Penn together for a while now, finally got around to it, they're best bird buds
Sketch studies from tonight (in red) cos I'm nostalgic for S1 Stranger Things. Also progressively older face studies from the past couple weeks. Including the first set where I actually cried because it felt so bad and I thought I couldn't draw faces anymore.
Quote reporst with your green art 🌿 Some vis dev I did for a new level on Boom Beach Frontlines
Quote repost with your green art! 💚 I used to really struggle with greens but when I started regularly painting landscape studies I began to love them.
Day 5! Some WIP of what I'm working on. It's messy and I'm terrified of actually rendering it and sharing process is scary and I also feel like hot garbage so I'm gonna eat some chocolate and lie down. Love you all this place is so nice.
Petition to add "Free-range Organic Human Art" to all our artist bios.
Don't think I ever posted these together as a little set. I still love them, when I have walls I can make holes in I'm going to print them out and have them there because they make me happy 😄
