Hi, I'm Sierra! I'm a Background Artist & Illustrator who enjoys painting lush, colorful scenes. Available for freelance work starting this February! 🌼 #PortfolioDay

A digital painting featuring three tents in a forest as a campfire burns between them at nighttime. The only sources of light—the campfire, the moon, and the fireflies scattered about the scene—softly illuminate the tents, grass, and surrounding evergreens. A large, bearded monster with glowing eyes and great tusks can also be seen looming in the distance. A digital painting featuring Yugiri Mistwalker from Final Fantasy XIV standing with her back turned to the viewer, outstretching her arm for a falcon that is about to perch as she stands on a tiled rooftop in the city of Kugane. Across from her is Kugane Tower, a massive wooden structure that touches the clouds. Other birds seem to be flocking to the tower as they soar across the orange sunset. A digital painting featuring two Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Raen and a Xaela Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer in a grassy field in the Azim Steppe. Across from the pair is The Dawn Throne, a massive dome with a stone carving of a horned man wearing a crown. Many pillars surround the structure, and Yol birds are soaring in the blue sky overhead. A digital painting featuring three Final Fantasy XIV characters—a Seeker of the Sun and Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te, as well as a Raen Au Ra—standing with their backs turned to the viewer as they survey the landscape of Saint Mocianne's Arboretum from atop giant water lilies. Across from the trio are a group of korpokkurs—small creatures with round, green bodies and leaves that sprout from their heads. Moss-covered trees, butterflies, and even more korpokkurs appear out of focus in the foreground, adding depth to the blue green scene.

I've seen some reactions from struggling artists along the lines of 'I give up' and I feel your pain—but please do not.

Most people don't want to live in a world where artists are automated away, art production is captured by AI firms. Most people hate this idea.

Organize. Build solidarity. Fight.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Not annoying at all—thanks so much for asking!

I've honestly been meaning to update the shop/run sales to help out with my dog's surgery bill... I just haven't gotten around to it yet, LOL. I'll try to do it within the next couple of weeks, though!

Regardless, every bit of support helps! 🙏

@sierrasketches.com sorry if this is annoying, but would purchasing from your shop also help towards to cost of your dog's surgery? you comms are a completely fair price, but a bit out of my price range, so i was curious if there was another way to help!
