In the great before times, I didn't have the hand-eye coordination to draw using a drawing pad, so I would draw traditionally, then color digitally. This is how far I got using a piece I did in my current sketchbook for today's session.

I've been trying to restore my quick access macros in FFXIV and feel like I've just wasted an hour of my time. Going to play Warframe for a while and murder some Greneer to make me feel better.

Finished some #charactersheets for a repeat client (my super supportive spouse, @alenabaille.bsky.social)! It was a goods exchange - character sheets for perpetual license for CSP 5.0. Learned a lot, and very fun to experiment with!
A little #workinprogress from my sketchbook. #Fineliners are so fun! I'm still at the 'having fun' stage of using them, but fully plan to dive into actual techniques in the future!
Made a bit of a soul-baring blog post on Cara. It feels only fitting to share it here: cara.app/post/c0deafa...

“Don’t compare yourself to other artists - only you can draw like you.” and “Comparison is the thief of joy.” I bet you can’t guess what I did last month... And as expected, it stole my joy, and I b...

You know the sort of friendship where you drop the rope and never hear from them again? Yeah, I hate that. I really cared about the person behind this character, but her life is too full to include me, and I have to be okay with that. #FFXIV #fanart #digitalart #characterart
I don't get it. If "someone" follows over 5,000 accounts what is to say that "someone" isn't an AI bot? Combined with nothing personal, commentative, or just tongue and cheek and it being all business? Yeah, I would rather block than have my creativity slurped up by a clanker.
A little something for #throwbackthrusday - also known as an old drawing I did for a competition. What do you guys think? Is this 2018 drawing worth a redraw? Also, marked her for nudity since nothing is showing, but it's clear there are no clothes on.
PSA: IF YOU MAKE AI ART, DON'T FOLLOW ME. Generative AI for writing and art, not only are you damaging our society and our overall attention levels, you are also participating in something VERY harmful to the environment!
A little #graphic I created that will be used as a watermark going forward for my posted pieces. I put a lot of personal symbolism into this piece, that you can find in the alt-text description.
Been trying to find my recent insomnia trigger and it's stress. Work stress is still attacking me even on my vacation, and yesterday a lot of neighbors shot off fireworks, causing me to overstimulate and - you guessed it - stress. Focusing today on letting go of as much of the build up as possible.
"Blue Curl" 3 hour-experiment. A piece inspired by the process I took while experimenting with "Violet Feathers." I played with both a darker skinned model idea as well as different lighting types and background color. I will be studying different hair types and textures in the future!
I just had my longest uncreative streak(3 days of not doing ANYTHING to enrich my artistic soul [research, sketching, reading art news, drawing, ANYTHING]). I see now why some artists quit their day jobs without a plan. I feel so much better getting back into my artwork this morning!
The hardest part about practicing and enjoying art is the inevitable 8-5 work burn out that bleeds into creativity. It's simultaniously end of month, end of quarter, and rush to complete tasks before vacation shutdown. My full time job is in sales. I'm tired, grandpa.
I am in the Beginner category of Freelancer (see earlier reblog, and yes, @tsurudraws.art, this is VERY helpful!). I buckled down to improve and try the professional route 6 months ago after years of waffling, and to realize I'm not at the very beginning already is big confidence boost!
do y'all wanna see some insane before and afters of one of my slides ignore the page count
I'm back, and guess what? I got my ArtStation back up to act as portfolio hosting! Feel free to follow me there. I will be getting more active on there in the coming months to see how it feels for artist interactions. www.artstation.com/serina_ceres

HAPPY FRIDAY TO EVERYONE WHO HATES SLOP
Taking a full week completely off ALL socials, the art ones included. I am loosing my joy for art, and it's made all the worse with all the trauma-porn littering the algorithms. I need a break. ; ; Be back soon~♥
Comparison really is the thief of joy. I keep thinking about how I can get my art out there, thinking that will open doors to try new things. But I need to try those new things myself. I need to remember that for me, art is joy, and people liking it is a bonus.
Looking for some #artadvice. I'm getting ready to offer a YCH. Is it better to offer through Kofi or just go through the PayPal payment process? It's something I can finish in a day.
You need to enjoy what you have for you and nobody else. Don't worry about leaving a legacy. Do the things you love like no one is watching. The people that come after won't care about the aviaries, won't care about the flowers, won't care about the art you painted on the walls. Do things for you.
Refined sketch VS. final drawing. I'm hoping along the way I can study some fashion drawings to get better at designing clothes! An #FFXIV #fanart piece inspired by #Titania from #ShadowBringers with my in-game OC, Serina, modeling the gown.
First time having an art social hit 3 digits! Thank you so much,everyone! I'd keep creating without the follows, but having the reassurance peple are here helps keep me inspired!
PSA to my fellow digital artists: don't forget to play. Do plein air in a coffee shop. Try out a page filling doodle exercise. Or, in my case, experiment with some 10+ year old oils that your SO's mom found at a garage sale way back when. Sable approves. My point is don't forget to try new things.
