I'm still in early game, but I liked the building part and personalising my island.

Now I want to play through to unlock all the skills and go sketch all the things to create a space that is my own flying island, with all the freedom to mess around and make the island truly a flying home

the blockout stage of an illustration is by far my favorite part. this is where i uncheck my brain and just vibe and explore an idea

in this case another calendar page that i have dubbed

the walking red :P

Did some figure drawing in art class today and had really good results. I had to remind myself which side is left and right, since I flipped my orientation around.

I focus on building relationships in communities. Almost all of my enquiries and work I get come from people who I've engaged with in chats and communities I've been active in. Regularly checking in on people and keeping in touch with artists. Social Media is mainly an announcement platform for me.

Seeing a few artshare posts and all the amazing art being shared in those threads is really doing good things to my motivation for art this early in 2026.

I'll be doing the art and then we have a rigger on VGen who is taking over from me for the rigging
January 3, 2026 at 12:08 AM
Something like that yeah, though her avatar is anthropomorphic. Balancing the different themes would be a bit of a challenge
January 2, 2026 at 10:55 PM
Thanks, we got someone already for the rigging.

Not really, the client wants something that's not heavily anime stylised
January 2, 2026 at 10:38 PM
Yeah :) We're sorted on a rigger. I'll hand over the assets to the client and rigger as soon as they're ready
January 2, 2026 at 10:37 PM
Thanks for the offer, but I'm an artist myself, and this avatar is for a client.
January 2, 2026 at 10:36 PM
Love the design! Your work is amazing. 😁
January 2, 2026 at 11:37 AM
Ah, I see yeah!
I'm an artist myself, mostly I work in advertising and Motion Design for retail, but recently expanded my portfolio to use more of my creative skills on my hobbies to make my work more fulfilling

I'll order a Tall Hazelnut Latte with a splash of honey. Thnx Boss!
January 2, 2026 at 11:29 AM
It's a commission for someone else, I am the artist
January 2, 2026 at 11:24 AM
Time to message my supplier to place an order.
January 2, 2026 at 11:06 AM
It'll be a 2D Avatar for now. I think the rigger will use Live 2D, as soon as I begin the project, I'll be asking all the questions for the setup, which will guide the design and file structure.
