It’s really funny to me that people on TikTok who are not professional artists (I’m assuming anyway) love to argue with me when I DO talk about fundamentals.

Like, okay. You don’t like the advice then don’t use it and make bad art, I don’t really care either way lmao 😭😅 Just trying to help 🤷‍♂️

Art Advice : Don’t block the face!!

The face is oftentimes the most interesting point of interest in a piece, so don’t block it! It will make the piece less visually appealing overall and viewers won’t be able to evoke as much emotion from the piece.

Sterling Steele - Sole Survivor (Fallout 4)

Awww well if it isn’t our FAVORITE Institute apologist lol

He’s one of my three Sole Survivors from my multiple survivor AU! He’s the first Sole Survivor I ever made back in 2015! I think he’s cool 🙂‍↕️

Here is my latest tumblr post that I posted to my art blog and fandom side blogs. I will be homeless starting next week so I will not be posting art OR original content until I am properly housed again. Not throwing a pity party or whatever, just trying to keep all of my peeps in the loop! 💖🫶

Yesss I agree! This game and Elder Scrolls Oblivion will be my favorite Bethesda games of all time. I was so excited when I heard rumors they were remaking Oblivion- and the next gen update for fallout 4 has made the game look so pretty! Not to mention the cool creation club stuff for free :)

Thank you!! It means a lot to me that y’all are liking this! 🫶
I’m just glad I got to finish it in general since the file almost got corrupted halfway through drawing it lol 😭🤣
I’ll probably be making some more Fallout art as long as I’m playing the game, so that’s gonna be exciting!

Just submitted it on the google form! This is soooo cool, I am very excited lol. I’ve been a Fallout fan ever since Fo4 came out back in 2014 I think it was? It’s been a while 🤣
I’m also a super big Elder Scrolls fan, Bethesda games have a very special place in my heart 🫶💖✨

Playing a wonderland version of my #DnD #OC, Ebin, so he’s traded in his crown for a tiny top hat. 👑🤝🎩

Of course his patron Krampus isn’t too far either. Aren’t they just darling?

“Just make it exist!” Isn’t that simple, and neither is “making it good.”

I know the left hand graphic has been making the rounds and is meant as motivation, but as a frequent victim of Scope Creep, please learn from my mistakes 😂🥲

I finished it!! Yay!!! Really in love with how it came out, and I had so much fun experimenting with the colors through gradient maps and blending modes! I hope you like my Lovely Ladies 🫶💖

Alright, so! Here’s another WIP :)
The lineart is finished, and as you can see from my last post I just go right in for the lineart without sketching anything. I don’t have time for that nonsense because I feel like I’m drawing it twice lol 🤣💀

So this is how I sketch stuff. I use 3D models, and then I kinda just draw over it. I typically skip the “sketching” stage but idk I wanted to do it this time. I wanna see my girls NYOW 😤

Anyway. Here’s Cosmia and Maia! The lesbeans 👉👈 Idk when I’ll finish this 😅

Thank you for this, I will look into these. Would it still be worth it to post on WebToon if I go on those other platforms as well?

What is the solution, here? Is posting on your own domain worth it- I don't have a big following so I don't think anyone would ever find it if I did that.

What other platforms are out there that care about indie creators? If any of y'all know I'd love to hear abt it 😭
