But even so, I'm very grateful.

I'm DEFINITELY not going to surpass these numbers any time soon (or never even...), but I've already learned that going on a hunt for bigger numbers is never a good mindset. So I'll just keep doing what I do and see how far this journey leads me.

First of all, thank you all so much for liking so much this drawing.

Honestly... I don't know what I did here to generate so much attraction beyond what I'm used get. As of right now this IS the most liked artwork I ever did and I can't shake the feeling that I simply don't deserve this, haha!

Weretober Day 11: Western Dragon.

God... this is easily my favorite so far.
I was feeling pretty down with the previous ones because I didn't feel like I was putting in much effort or didn't find something cool in time for the day's theme. But this one? Oh, I like it!

Thansk, dude! Appreciate the words.
I still a little shocked at how much attractions this one ended up getting and how much people liked so far, hah!
I think it will be very difficult for me to do something at this level of reaction again for goooood while.

Sketch bonus!

I recently replayed Baldur's Gate 3, and since I'm still riding its vibes, why not do classic DnD Red Dragon?
This I will turn into an oil painting too! But it will take a while for it to be completely done.

Weretober Day 7: WHALE SHARK

I think I can actually keep up the pace now! And this was a good opportunity to instead of going down the path of overly buff body, to go with the Big Huggable Belly you wish to be crush under!

what did I say now...?

Weretober Day 6: CARNIVOROUS UNICORN

Well... I think this Weretober season will be the most unsuccessful one for me so far. Also, Instead of trying to make up for lost days, I'll try to push myself in the next ones and keep the momentum going from now on.

Weretober Day 1: WOLF

I decided to go down a more drawing path instead of trying to do a whole render. I think this way I can try to explore something more expressive since I'm not worried about the painting process.

However, I don't know if the result was that good... Honestly, lately I haven't felt super confident in my abilities.

I think I'm just going through another one of my "Is my work really that good?" phases.
Hopefully I'll be back a little better in no time and stop worrying so much.

Some more illustrations of Silksong I want to do. Particularly of them in another time. A happier time...

"Garama!"

Silksong is simply a masterpiece of a game and I love every bit of it! And hopefully I will put some work done inspired by it in the future

for now I think I managed to do something that makes justice for Hornet, and its probably my favorite of all the ones I've done so far of her.

Digital Illustration of Hornet in a field of white flowers in a fighting stance, and with various tools of hers scattered about for the up coming fight.

Ok...Silksong is maybe tinsy winsy harder than Hollow Knight, but like... not a lot.

(Proceeds to die 10x more in the early game in Silksong them my entire multiple runs in Hollow Knight combined)

A word of advice: DON'T bring the Mark of Pride Charm to this section of the game.
(Says the one who just completed Path of Pain with it thinking it was a good idea...)

Damm. This one blew up more than what I expected.
I mean... I'm glad, really, but I just wanted to set expectations and say that I may not always do Warframe related work for those watching me now.
I like to paint anthro and game characters I enjoyed, so expect some curve balls from time to time.

Yeah, I've been enjoying it a lot, probably even more them back than. But now I'm slowing things a bit with it and getting ready to put some work down with these characters.
I'm in between Voruna or Styanax as my next subjects (maybe more towards Sty, cuz.. you know... just look at his deluxe skin.)

I played it about 5 or 6 years ago (I switched to Destiny 2 at the time). Just some what recently got back into it after I casually decided to give it another look... and remind me why it was the first game I ever reached 1000 hours with.
So back to the addiction!

Sev's done!
More complex than I expected, despite the more organic shapes. I also try to be a little more looser and more expressive with my brushwork (I'm not sure if I achieve that, but its a try)
