sea waves are lapping
together fish are napping
these are tranquil shores

Loser is such a good term, everyone's always trying to find insults that are more venomous, more precise, but honestly some people are just losers, completely and fully

Gonna be a real interesting week, always feels like my creative output is very momentum-based where a lull can last half a month, then build back up into 4 hours working on something, into several back to back 14-hour days

The mail can never be stopped

Some 5,000 words about many things I've been up to behind the scenes, after finally getting back into the flow of things

Love when a big secret artistic project starts to get really good momentum...

Mix of a 20min warmup drawing, and a response to a friend's 404 drawing

Old free "commission" I did way back when I was trying to feel out a style and method for possibly doing commissions. The format fell through in the end because I wasn't confident enough to do the lineart myself, but the aesthetic I was able to achieve is one I still love

I dislike leaving silence in a place like this, makes it look like I'm inactive, when the reality is I'm working behind the scenes on a couple larger projects that take time. Think I'll start posting older art I've done, since I use social media mainly as a public repository of my work

Every single time I come across a sergal PFP in the wild, I always get unreasonably excited and want to just bombard them with compliments and praise, and I always have to stop myself to go "I know your heart is in the right place, but it's okay to appreciate from a distance too"

I ask the universe for someone to step up and approach me so that I may draw them, and the universe gladly obliges

What would you sacrifice for your passion ? Who would you inadvertently hurt ? How would you change as a person ? Would it be worth it ?

My neck hurts

Sad to see Furality end, happy that my first VR convention went as well as it did, even with technical issues from all sides. Infinitely more confident in pursuing 3D art as zealously as I am presently, genuinely rare things make this much sense to me

I just figured out how to make my own brushes for Affinity and I am incapable of being any happier about it than I am in this present moment

Recreation of a drawing I lost yesterday due to technical issues and a failed autosave system so bad it compelled me to throw together an AutoHotkey script to just force a Ctrl + S every 60 seconds

But why are you here ?

Late night dragon doodle of Zenja because I physically cannot stop creating things (alt sketch version thrown in for good measure)

Overworked shark decides to doodle instead of sleep, I regret nothing

I've had this version of my sona stuck in my head for a couple days and needed to have it exist. Probably my subconscious reminding me how cool de Blob was, who knows
