been ages since I've made a #meettheartist so here it is! ✍️

my name is Daria Bolshikh, I'm a professional illustrator, with a degree and everything!
I also do 3D modelling, a bit of writing and speak about 3.3 languages 👋

open for commissions!

🕸️ www.dariabolshikh.com

a #meettheartist about me: there's a full-body portrait of a young woman with shoulder-length curly hair, with a subtle light streak on one side, wearing a black beanie, dark red turtle-neck, short black overall dress, black leggings, white socks and pale green-ish sneakers

to the right of her are a number of items: a dark grey backpack with a patch depicting a little medieval manuscript-style fish with legs, then there's an ipad with an apple pencil attached, iphone with an eva themed case, carabiner keychain, glasses, hand-sanitizer, a pack of paper handkerchiefs, eye-drops, teo chapsticks, a pack of painkillers and a folded yellow grocery bag

the top of the image says "meet the artist", followed by my name - Daria Bolshikh, then under it it's "she/her 26 sagittarius"

a list of likes: swimming, long walks, yapping, vampires, fantasy, writing paragraphs about my OCs that no living soul will ever see

a list of dislikes: raisins, loud noises, big crowds, hot weather, insects, traveling

some small notes around the figure: 174 cm/5.7', always wearing headphones, natural blonde streak that affects half my face, little bee tattoo on my forearm (a small drawing of a bee), somehow almost always in leggings, sneakers are best shoes

notes around the items: a medieval fish patchI bought years ago, terrible eyesight, never leaving the house without a chapstick, using procreate on an 12.9'' iPad Pro with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil, carabiner keychain (ikyk), painkillers for chronic headaches, reusable grocery bag

at the bottom is @dariabolshikh

I really wish more people were dedicated to be kind, regardless of being nice, rather then trying to be nice but skipping being kind entirely. Nice is a cool bit of flavor text. Kind is fucking essential.

Hey uh, Ireland...you...got a place I can crash?

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Still testing the new rebelle to see if it could become my main software. I need to learn how to limit the amount of extra strokes and reign in unnecessary textures, but I think it's getting there.

I didn't realise that the metallics would shimmer this much in a timelapse ✨

moral of the story? don’t break your bones, duh

daria @dariabolshikh.bsky.social · 2d

When I broke my wrist and it healed fine I though it was no big deal, but now every time the weather changes my left hand hurts in the most mild bizarre way and I feel like no-one prepared me for that.

I feel like the beauty of the first four games is that they speak differently to everyone - I personally find 3 and 4 to be the most terrifying due to personal reasons. Kudos to you for giving the franchise a shot! 🌟

day five, folklore

read today that some slavic peoples believed vampires to be capable of transforming into butterflies - those used to symbolize human souls, and vampires were believed to separate from their physical bodies when they were hunting
