Aurora Castillo for @ a_seeress on X.
+ #worldofwarcraft + #commissions +

A commissioned illustration for @ a_seeress on X. It is of Aurora Castillo. She is holding her hands out in front of her, palms to the viewer, casting divination magic and they are stained bright red. She is wearing a sheer black gown, a wedding ring, and an ankh necklace. Her expression is one of sorrow and despair, with blood streaked across it. Her eyes are glowing white. The tones of the piece is angry red hues mixing with a contrasting light teal. An orb is in between her hands and over her stomach, glowing white and extending out white tendrils that blend into the red weaves that curl around her. In the centre of the orb is an orange marigold. Behind her, there are more red tendrils and circle of white behind her head, beaming out thin rays.

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will legitimately face homelessness.

I have been working for over a year to keep a roof over our head, freelance since February due to leaving an extremely toxic job.

I’m a disabled queer artist who is the sole income. My partner is looking for work. We are barely making ends meet.

Rent is due November 1st. This goal covers our rent, utilities, and groceries for our family.

Please share. 💖

hundreds, thousands, millions of times — and in each one I seek you, the man with no name

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.

double chins come in all shapes and sizes but i think it’s pretty tricky to find any sort of stylized references of them so, for incredibly niche purposes or if anyone wants to step up their face shape game, I’ve compiled artwork of my oc rina & her double chins in various styles

my oc rina and some close up shots of her face by various artists, all showcasing her double chins

thank you! and you’re right it’s so difficult and even searching for work in the art world and it seems like everyone expects you to have so much experience and it can be overwhelming
everything truly takes so much energy, i hope things get better for you as well!

august | DTIYS PINNED @augustsolaris.com · 1d

:(( i hope it works out for you so you can get client work too!

august | DTIYS PINNED @augustsolaris.com · 1d

but working my day job makes me so so tired 😪
