I'm an amateur fantasy artist. 🔞 My art is regularly weird, NSFW, or both so visitors beware.

Was testing a thing for doing lineart. The lineart went smoothly while drawing, but without the under sketch it looks ass so clearly I need to refine line weights and shit if I'm gonna actually use it. Still the process didn't make me want to feed myself into a wood chipper this time so that's nice.

Another webcomic idea I'll likely never find the time or energy to actually make. Starting to really fucking HATE how I can't seem to actually make any of these projects, I just plan things perpetually it's a problem.

Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵

I also bought and cut up some cheap dollar store bug and reptile toys and glued them back together to make these Rust Monster minis in Retro, Bug, and Lizard varieties. I might sculpt one out of clay next, who know's.

I love retro Rust Monsters from back before they were bugs (don't get me wrong I also love them as bugs, especially Tony Diterlizzi's original take) so I've been exploring a redesign which references ankylosaurs, tortoises, and lizards. Yes I own a vintage Rust Monster toy and Monstrous Compendium.
