A polaroid illustration depicting the two OCs, Ishtar & KK, posing for the camera & smiling as part of a birthday celebration. KK, wearing a neon green shirt, a blue party hat with gold stars & a scorpio symbol, silver earrings & bracelet, pink shades, is making a peace sign at the camera, his other arm reaching over to pull Ishtar close to him. Ishtar can be seen with a black jacket with glowing yellow accents & a sparkling pink tube top, along with snake bites & ear piercings. There is text on the bottom that reads "28th Solar Return!", & there are stickers across the polaroid depicting stars, & a scorpio symbol at the very bottom center. (This edition of the drawing has a subtle noise filter over it) Illustration of two OCs hanging out among the city lights at night. One of the characters is KK, has blue skin, pink irises, pointed ears, & white hair slicked back, along with a single silver earring. He's wearing a space-themed polo shirt with star patterns & star-shaped buttons, pink shades, a light purple belt with a star-shaped buckle, & purple glittering pants. There's a silver bracelet in one hand featuring a dragonfly & star-shaped pendants, holding a phone up as if to take a selfie while smiling, glancing over at Ishtar. His other hand, which has a neon pink & green glow bracelet, is behind Ishtar, making "bunny ears" behind them. The other character is Ishtar, with tan skin, freckles that look like stars, pointed ears, pink irises with heart pupils, purple to pink to white gradient hair swept to the side, & pointed nails. They have pink, glittering eyeshadow & lipstick, as well as markings along their forehead, chest, & the side of their thigh. They're wearing moon-shaped earrings, a space themed glittering dress with an opening along the chest & a golden sash at the center, & a glittering bralette visible through the chest opening. There are slits on the side of the dress with golden chains, & matching arm sleeves on the dress. One arm of Ishtar's is draped over KK's shoulder as they lean into him, smiling for the camera, & ther is held up in a peace sign position, with a 4 tiered beaded bracelet given to them by KK. A pinup-esque illustration of an alien NSR OC, named Galaga,dressed up in x-mas holiday attire & reclining against a sizable holiday wreath. She is wearing a ribbon-themed red dress with a large white bow along the top, & at the very center is a star shape. There are red ribbons on the first pair of arms, & in one hand she is holding a red gift box with gold ribbon. The second pair of arms has red gloves, one hand extended out holding a mistletoe. She is wearing black boots & red ribbon along her tail, & she has a star septum piercing & industrial piercing. The wreath she is seated on is green with red ornaments, some resembling a planet, & there is a red ribbon at the very top with a golden star adorning it. In the background there is a star & planet shaped outline, one on each side of the wreath, & there are snowflakes both on the background & the wreath. She can be seen glancing at the viewer--it is to be noted she has four eyes. An illustration of Ishtar sitting on a flat surface, holding out a mistletoe (with a star ribbon) before what is implied to be someone (or the viewer), gazing towards them as if inviting them for a mistletoe kiss, reinforced by the speech bubble next to them which features a heart & a question mark next to it. They are seen wearing a short, form fitting red dress with off the shoulder bell sleeves, star-like patterns along the chest, sleeves, & hem of the dress, & star hip accessories on the sides of the dress where there's a slit with ribbon across it. They also sport matching thigh highs & a star-themed earring. There are string lights in the background of an alternating red & gold hue, the gold lights being stars.

Update, doing a bunch of colored promotional art may have slowed me down a bit but the pay off is that chapter six is lookin’ sexy as hell

Screenshot from procreate of work in progress rendering of my webcomic. My character, Candice, stands in the misgroundnof the scene pulling on an arcane looking glove. The room is in shadow with a bit of night time lighting cast on the right and bright red magic lighting the scene from the foreground/bottom of the piece. The angles and pleats of her pants suit reflect all the lights in a really cool way. The tail of a speech bubble is cropped, suggesting that she is speaking but the crop of the whole page is to hide spoiler content.

Skirts/Dresses cause ass too fat /J

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS
I think it depends really bc their preference is less “pants or skirts/dresses” & more “whatever is more flashy/form fitting/revealing in some way” cause that’s just how they like to dress, so

#art #digitalart #commissions #nostraightroads
A fullbody colored sketch of Galaga Eunhagye, a No Straight Roads OC by AlienAlien on toyhouse. She is a green alien with four arms and long limbs, two eyes and two antennae. She is on her knees with her thighs together and her calves splayed in opposite directions. One hand lightly rests over her lips, over a large star-shaped nose ring and subtle smile. One hand reaches down to rest on her thigh, one props her up behind her, and one is lightly raised to the right. She wears a skin-tight black dress with cutouts over the junction of the thighs and a star-shaped hole on the chest. She wears a combination of crinkly yellow legwarmers and fluffy white legwarmers on her arms and legs, her shoulders lined with the same fluffy white material. She wears black boots and black fingerless gloves. The background is dark with a white rectangle framing her, overlayed by neon green half tones. There is a green and yellow star over the white rectangle, and gray piercing jewelry laid over it as well.

Any help is appreciated! I also have my permit test this Saturday. It’s $46. I hope I pass it. I’m nervous as heck.

Also may need to buy more DayQuil and NyQuil please. 😭 I’m tired of being sick.

Honestly the number one thing I can recommend to people who want to be illustrators/designers/ect is to get REALLY good at managing your money. Save everything you can. You may have months where you’re tearing your hair out bc of too much work and you will 100% have months with no work at all.

Witchy Maris for Halloween!! 👻🎃

#fantasy #art #witch #webcomic #smallartist #ocsky #AsAbove #As_Above_Comic
Art of my character Maris from my comic As Above. She wears a claw like bodice and sleeves similar to her design in the series but now she has a big witches hat on as well. The little skull that usually floats over her head now sits on the brim of her hat. She's leaning over an ethereal ledge looking down into a glowing pool reflecting stars and casting light on her. Her long hair, usually black-tipped, looks like a deep teal as it falls over her shoulder towards the water.

For the people in the bleachers: you are NOT a failure if you have a PT/FT job while you pursue your creative career. You're taking care of your financials and keeping yourself afloat. There's NO shame in that, and we need to erase the mythology of the "starving" or "tortured" creator.

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

Don’t like having to come here & ask, but… My cat who we’d rescued a while ago (Bast) developed pyometra before we could spay, & has to go in for urgent surgery that comes out to $1.1k range

So I’m leaving my ko-fi if anyone wants to donate to help with costs ko-fi.com/estrelladeis...
A photo of a black cat, named Bast, laying next to a mirror on a white carpet. She is pressing her body / paws against the mirror & looking towards the viewer, with her visible reflection in the mirror she’s pressed against. There is a sparkle filter overlay on the image. A photo of the same black cat in a pet carrier, looking towards the user’s finger as opposed to the camera. She is in a cat loafing position curled up within the carrier, & there is a sparkle filter overlay on the photo.

Bluesky needs a bit of a culture shift

I'm noticing that engagement has kindof been cratering, but favs haven't. People will fav a post but not comment or repost it, I've noticed this with others as well.

If you like something, spread it! Try commenting to bump it or repost it eh?

Four characters stacked side by side. From left to right: A woman with South Asian features, purple hair, and symmetrical jewelry looks off frame to the left. A white man with striking blue eyes and golden attire glares at the viewer. A woman with East Asian features stares steady at the viewer with her lips slightly parted. A man in a gaudy green suit and top hat looks out of frame to the right.

The same art piece I posted a few days ago featuring a pair of gold scales held by a woman with purple hair. The piece is now fully rendered with the golden scales and the woman's jewelery reflecting brilliantly.

Close crop teaser of the art I’ve been working on. This shows a dark skinned man’s eye shrouded in shadow with a bright green light. His hair is in locs that cast shadows across this side of his face with the full moon behind him.

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Might go through with reopening NSFW c✨mms to the public—I think I’m in a space where I might be okay doing them again for the public eye…?

I’ll just get around to updating that info later

However—those c✨mms will incur additional upcharges, so.

So- I got to pay two things this month. Gotta pay for a new door as my dog dug a hole in it and pay my phone bill. The total is around $260. I’d love if it gets paid very soon. Please dm if you’d like art from me.

Some advice to artists that struggle to finish any WIPs:

If finishing a full WIP is very difficult for you, I recommend setting small goals within each artwork you do

Like for example, instead of trying to do everything in one sitting; make a goal like “Okay I’ll just do half the lineart today”

…Love how in the moment I wholeass forgot to change the ko-fi goal to being about paying Bast’s surgery 🧍
Should be fixed now !

(The actual total cost is more like almost $1.3k due to x-rays + initial consult, but the x-rays were things I could cover fine w/o being a hit to finances)
A screenshot of a ko-fi goal with a bright pink tip button. The title of the goal reads “Paying off Bast’s surgery”, & a bar indicates the goal of $1,150 with the goal being 18% of the way there. The description reads: “Donations for now are to help w/ paying off medical debts for Bast’s pyometra surgery, given its put a bit more pressure financially on me. I apologize beforehand if I ever forget to thank anyone! I admit I'm VERY forgetful + having low social battery at times can make it hard, but I do genuinely appreciate all donations 💖”
