Now that my head is clear and no longer coming off of anesthesia and hydrocodone, I fixed it for the last time. I am now content for realsies. Poor Damien going through so much facial reconstruction 😂 Sorry, Dude.

I render when I want to I guess. I usually only cell shade.
To answer another question, I'm sure folks are curious about. I enjoy drawing night scenes a lot because I find them soothing. My character is usually only active at night anyway so it works out. 🌙

Update. Almost done with the vent art. Should be able to finish it tomorrow. Just some shading left and highlight fixings.

Alternate versions will have text.

I think I'm going to start doing art streaming on Twitch on the weekends.
It will be for ages 18+ due to language use and possible gore.
If you want the link to my Twitch page, I'll post it in the comments. I'm still trying to get it set up.
