Hello, all! Just want to make an intro post for myself to pin to my profile. 💜

I'm Draiky (dray-key), your friendly neighborhood gnome.

I love me some:
- Ghost (the band)
- Animation/Art
- DnD (Dungeons and Dragons)
- OCs (original characters)

I also doodley-doot things sometimes.
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Redooting again for the evening crowd!
🍁“…I simply am.” 🍁
(It only felt right to make a proper piece for a creature so pretty inside and out. 🧡

Goddamn I love this movie.)

Plans for vacation:
- Get Seattle Skeletour stuff prepped and ordered
- Ship out Bluesky Giveaway prize
- Register with the state for...reasons

What will actually happen:
- I sleep the entire vacation

I'm gonna hate work today.

The day before a holiday gets so fucking busy. I've mentioned a few times of getting 50 calls a day, I'm expecting 50 again today.

At least I'm on vacation next week, holy fuck.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

You know
Not for nothing but wearing a compression glove instead of a smudge guard when drawing has been an absolute game changer since my hand doesn't get sore and stiff after long drawing/coloring sessions.

Also helps that I had carpal tunnel surgery last year too I guess.

Okay, so, for real, here’s a REALLY bare-bones rundown of my process, sans my blood ritual to the art demons.
