It's something, yes, but the 'WIP' sticky note on her back still makes me hesitate

(yes I do in fact mean such things in the most affectionate way she is the trashiest thing in the game both in personality and playstyle and it's GLORIOUS)

I can't be the only artist (that cares about #deadlock ) that wants to do fanart of Viper but doesn't want it to

I dunno

'go out of date'? Like I know the current model is a placeholder and that dampens my enthusiasm

WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE?! WHAT DOES OUR FAVORITE TRASHPILE GIRLFAILURE LOOK LIKE

With a huge, detailed digital painting these are hard to find...it feels wierd to stop halfway through the shading, for example.

But with animation, it's obvious. Do one frame, then another, then another. Shade one frame, then another, then another. Color one frame, and so on.

It's so nice.

I should do more animation.

One of my issues in making art has been finding a good way to break big, complex pieces down into manageable chunks with good 'start' and 'stop' points - I've found this is a great way to pace myself and avoid burnout.

I foolishly decided to dabble in hand drawn animation, starting with that iconic unit of the discipline, the 8 frame Williams Walk Cycle.

@digitalvagrant.bsky.social I am not even remotely sorry, I love your work

No I don't know what he is either

Alternate version

I couldn't resist

When you get sick of a boss and break out the Architect Crest instead of bothering to memorize their patterns #hollowknight #silksong

One of those mornings where I wonder if setting up my feed to include digital art was a bad move

Struggling to find inspiration for color studies while scrolling through the most gorgeous work I've seen all week

I know it's bad to compare someone's year five to my day one but DAMMIT they're good

Been playing #Helldivers2.

What's the sound of one portable hellbomb ticking?

(I don't know I haven't unlocked it yet WEHHH)

Musings on cybernetics.

I've noticed that while the style of cyberware in a given setting tends to be internally consistent, which style is used is almost entirely a decision of the author.

If I HAD to rank them I'd probably say type 1>3>2, but I really don't wanna haha

Cybernetics are cool

I saw @partydemoness.bsky.social debut her new model the other day and I just HAD to

Grrl lookin' like she bout to do the sickest gun kata in Libria

More #deadlock posting

I thought his reload animation was crazy enough but then I saw his rsil riding animation and well

This is not even an exaggeration

I picked Bluesky for a reason. I've been making art for some time, but I kind of hit a wall in motivating myself to improve.

Maybe if I was in this headspace ten years ago I might have used Tumblr, or Twitter.

But today, it's Bluesky.

There's a certain kind of forum people are looking for.

Ivy's #deadlock redesign got me inspired

I love the idea of partnering the most earnest and kindhearted bean on the roster with Lash.

She protecc, she attacc, but most important she sometimes forget she is made of *living stone* and jump on your bacc and OH BOY BETTER HOPE YOU REMEMBERED LEG DAY

I love models with long, flowing cloaks. When you use 'soft' shading and highlighting it works best on surfaces with soft, rolling contours.

The fact that it makes for bangin' shading and draping practice for me is a nice bonus - hope you don't mind!

I DID IT AGAIN JUST FXXXING NUKE ME FROM ORBIT

This is also how I discover Bsky doesn't offer an edit feature, so that spelling miatake is just gonna be there for all time.

Yannow what? Fair. If I can't be bothered to proofread a post, I deserve the embarrassment.

Okay am I dumb or is @krita.org mobile's undo button just not a thing.

fait is fair - its the only mobile app that allows me to practice animation with onion skins that doesn't pollute my face with ads or demand a sub. Love you fr

But having to open a menu every time I biff it on a line is AAAGH

V1 is one of those characters you can put in the most extra pose imaginable and it still works

Is it normal, I wonder, to create an artist profile and then *immediately* be paralyzed by First Impression Fears for like two months because somehow social media pokes exactly the same part of the brain as 'you just walked into a huge party and everyone's looking at you, DONT FXXX UP'?

Oh, well.
