Hi I'm Ghost, your mild-mannered neighborhood artist! I draw, write, and hyperfixate. Currently residing with two orange cats, Radar and Henry.
Pinned
One of these days I'm gonna make a proper pinned post with some of my art. I'm learning how to glaze and nightshade rn and also need like a whole month off from work just to draaaaaaaawwwwww 😭

This is so much fun!!! I hope the originator doesn't feel bad, Frieren Looking Up is so delightful because of all the different ways artists try to "solve" a drawing like this. Some really accomplished artists struggled here! It's nice to remember some things are just hard to draw no matter what.
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

okay um, a long time ago I was going to do a sequel zine to this but I got really busy with a job and other things, so I'm just going to post the best of what I managed, free. These are all based off of actual outfits of hers!

I do have a kofi in my bio though if you do feel inclined 😗💋✨

there's also these but, I didn't really like them as much and I didn't think they were 'impressive' enough but I'll post em here anyway

Today's Art Tip is about drawing the head in perspective, and some shorthands to hopefully make that a little easier.

When you realize that good writing is doing anything you can to avoid saying the obvious, it helps you fight through a lot of first drafts.
I like to figure out what it is I want to say first, then do whatever I can to avoid using that specific combination of words in the final draft.

Stories whose conflicts can be resolved by "just having everyone sit down and have a conversation" are frustrating for the specific reason that they've established that the characters are capable of that kind of communication.

Great conflicts come from characters who can't or don't know how.

Stories that do have the conflict resolved through clarification between characters can work, so there is a place for them - they make for great comedies.

I’m so obsessed with @jametc.bsky.social ‘s character Graham but I can’t for the life of me land a stylization I’m happy with. Haha I’ll do this man justice some day 🍕

HELL YEAH this is incredible!
Lost Ship is the track that hooked me onto FTL and by extension the rest of your work so I couldn’t resist having a little jam to the new version. Gave me an excuse to practice in G# minor as well

Surprise! I just released FTL - Lost Ship EP, a small collection of never before published FTL music, including live tracks, music that was cut from the game, and an expanded piece I made in 2025 based on one of the originals.
