Man, I fell off social media again. It becomes much easier to do that lately.

I am doing well, still on the surgery waiting list, much longer this time around. Don't worry, I am good. It kinda messes with my head a bit, though, I don't have much will to do creative stuff.

To the small number of people who like the esthetic and the ideas behind my art imperfect as it is, that see what I do, share my work and support me in various ways:

Thank you, it means the world to me. You put my feet on the ground, you're my quality over quantity.

Your friend Zhilly.

My October started with me getting cleared for surgery by the anesthesiologist this morning. Hopeful the operation will happen mid-month. I hope to not use the word "surgery" anymore from 2026. Enough is enough, jeez. 💪

An A4 Premium Matte #print of "The Queen of Flowers", on beautiful Hahnemühle German Etching paper. It's pretty af, to use scientific language. The best mockup is the real thing, and it's even prettier IRL.

My cover artwork spread for "The Last 0-Day", a debut sf novel by author B.R. Russell. My debut cover, too.

Note: I didn't design covers for the rest of the trilogy ahem ai ahem. Maybe for some future edition.

Transmitter Station, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. Utilitarian and brutalist structures are nestled in a mountain pass under snow. There's a TV tower among them, which is a home to someone. There is a little dog walking on a path to the tower, and a snowman by the road.

It's still going on. @procreate.com, hi, can you please fix this in an update soon? Put the drawing pad back on the right, this doesn't make sense. I've accidentally messed up pressure curves and sliders in the Apple Pencil section by trying to navigate down to Tilt settings a million times now.

There's been some UI changes in Procreate it seems. Added some dumb rounded edges that mess with the interface on small devices usually. Here's how my Brush Studio looks now on the iPad Mini 6. Unusable!I can't access most options without scrolling down. Drawing Pad is weird, sliders are longass.

Testing new mega-tasty brushes for my #Procreate collection in the ceaseless quest to get better at this and have hella fun.

These interact amazingly, especially the "Grungificator" that makes lovely happy accidents using existing paint on the layer, while retaining functionality of a brush.

I'm trying #Affinity out for painting, a quick first impression: Takes patience to arrange tools, shortcuts and interface panels(that feel outdated, tbh). The brush engine is basic af but has parameter curves, I easily made a brush like my Rough Expressive. The Paint Mixer Brush is quite cool.
