Whatever it is, I need to figure it out.

I'm still lucky enough to still make my income as an illustrator, but I do know that posting more would probably work in my favor. 😅 If more people saw my work, there's a better chance of being considered for projects and so forth.

It wasn't always like this. I used to be so excited to share my work online, but something has shifted and I'm trying to figure out what it is.

What's wild is that, for the most part, I really like the work I've made. I've been so excited to share and sell the pieces at conventions, but for some reason posting them online has become a scary chore.

I've actually made quite a bit of art this year, but for some reason, posting on socials has been such an anxiety inducing experience.

Has this been a thing for any of you guys???

Their arguments are so silly to me. I can say as an art history and art museum enjoyer that its pretty obvious that artists have been making fanart since the beginning of time.

*Gestures to the thousands of years worth of Greek Mythology and religious fanart that is packed in every museum*

Yes, she's the only one. 🥰

Your Beauty and the Beast illustrations give me life. The way you make them so tender with each other is just perfection. I love them so much! 😭

I feel like I'm screaming into the eatherse at this point, because I still don't know how to gain any traction on here, but I wanted to share my Nosferatu fanart anyway!

A poster for the film, Nosferatu. Count Orlok towers over Ellen who is wearing a wedding dress. The scene is shown through a stained glass window.

Anyone else get nervous when sharing their OCs or is it just me?

I ended up redesigning my old blorbos from college and I'm so happy that I did because I've been feeling so inspired to work on their story now. 🥰

This is a digital illustration of OPs reimagining of Beauty and the Beast.

Julie (Beauty) is walking through the woods at night. She is holding a lantern and anxiously looking off to the side, sensing that there might be something near by. Meanwhile further into the woods, in the shadows just barely illuminated by Julie’s lantern, Albert (the Beast), is peeking from behind the bare leafless trees, watching her walk by.

Julie is wearing a black over dress, with a white lacy under dress. Her blonde hair is messy and tied back by matching white kerchief. She is wearing a green decorative shawl around her shoulders and an a mismatched apron.

Albert is wearing nothing except a tattered cloth around his waist for modesty. He is very tall with horns. His eyes glow red in the dark.

At least my last Tik Tok being about the early concepts for The Haunted Mansion was a good one to end on. 🥲

If you see this post a magic user! ✨🥀✨

This is a cute yet somber pastel illustration of an original fantasy character named Theodosia.

Theodosia is crying and pulling a thorn covered sword out of a rose that is planted on her chest. She is surrounded by clouds, stars and the moon. She is wearing a green dress with gold embroidery, dark green cape and matching gold crown headdress with red roses and a white veil.

The image is contained with a cathedral style frame with mirrored golden snakes slithering in either side of the composition alongside lilies and a red ribbon.

Since my old Zelda piece did so well here, figured I'd reshare my Tears of the Kingdom piece! 🥰 🐉

This is a romantic cartoon illustration of Zelda and Link from the game, The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. In this image, Princess Zelda is floating in the air, holding the Master Sword in her right hand; meanwhile, her left hand is combing longingly through Link's hair, as she is floating away from him. Link is standing on a piece of floating sky island which is covered in golden grass and Sundelions. Link's feet are firmly planted on the ground. He is reaching for Zelda, with his good hand, gently holding her right leg over her dress. He is looking up at her wistfully, trying to not let her float away from him. The Light Dragon is also present in this piece flying around the sky island. She is also haloing Princess Zelda's head at the top of the composition, hinting at her eventual transformation into the Light Dragon later on in the game's story.

The overall color palette present throughout the piece is green, turquoise, gold, orange, and white.

Price wise its right under the $100 mark, but its very much worth it.
