Hello!! I'm Tiger!

I'm an aro/ace polyam relationship anarchist and certified cryptid in a QPR 💚
OCs are my passion and the entire reason I started drawing!

Interests include speculative biology, surreal cutesy horror, paranormal beings, pirates, and robots!
5 minute artist meme (just like the deviant days) name: Tiger/Erradox "draw yourself!" above an image of the artist with a tired expression and holding a drawing tablet pen, who has jaw to shoulder length slightly wavy medium brown hair, gray eyes, and glasses. "favorite colors" list green, purple, and pink "favorite palette" shows black, green, dark gray, medium gray, light gray, orange "favorite things to draw" lists monsters, sci-fi/fantasy combo, paws, teeth, fluff, all of my + partner's original characters "least favorite things to draw" lists human feet, interactions, smooth lines, and question marks There is a sliding scale list, with a paw print placed on one side or another. "Seven stages of prep" to "straight to lineart" the mark is placed about 75% between, so more towards straight to lineart "flats only" to "renders everything" the mark is placed about 30% between, more towards flats only "no filters/touch ups" to "sixteen overlays" about 25% "eyedrop colors" to "eyeball colors" is right in the center "solo portraits" to "70+ people group pictures" placed very close to solo portraits "horror" to "cutesey" is right in the center "pastel" to "super saturation" about 25%, more towards pastel "simplicity" to "ornate" is around the center but leans simple "sequential art" to "illustration" is around 75% "original" to "fanart" is all the way at original "career" to "hobbyist" is almost to hobbyist "play music/audio in bg" to "in silence only" is around 20% template by olivine arc/thesummerwars

Welcome back artists! 🖌✨️🎨
Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

This piece is nearly 8 years old!
A digital drawing of a sort of sea beast that is an amalgamation of different features and animals. It is primarily horse-shaped, with big glowing eyes, a dragonfish inspired glowing lure on its chin, and six octopus arms for a tail which are coiling all over each other. The horse's mane is also made of kelp and seaweed, and it looks like there are corals and barnacles growing on the horse's skin. There's also a starfish on its knee and a scar on its nose. The overall colors are muted greens, blues, and greys with hints of brown and beige.

I mixed up way too much of this blue for another project that I will post when I figure out the best way to stage it. But I put the excess paint in little condiment containers for future use.

I draw Verdant traumatized too much so I drew him happy for the second image.

[ #oc #ocart #fantasy ]
Traditional painted drawing of my character Verdant. He is a humanoid with olive skin and dual-tone green and black hair. In this picture he is standing in a defensive posture with big scared eyes, surrounded by layers of ghostly limbs that are not connected to him (he has similar powers seen in previous drawings, but if the hands were his, they would be tethered to his upper back). All of the colors have blue mixed in, tinting the image Another traditional painted and inked drawing of Verdant, this time in a monochromatic blue with acrylic paint and a blue fine felt pen for outlines. His monkey tail is showing here, it wasn't visible in the last picture, and he is looking to the side and smiling slightly with his fingers interlocked at his chest.

This time last year, I was working as a Website Designer, then I was pushed out by a company using ChatGPT as they basically saw it as a way to replace workers and designers. All over the world people are losing their jobs to Generative AI. I think that it wouldn't be conspiratorial to call it awful

Just letting you guys know the Bluesky Wrapped thing is made by a guy who is very into genAI.

I'm just putting this here to inform. I'm not saying 'definitely don't use this thing', just sharing info to help make your own decision to use the site or not.

I have not been drawing a whole lot, but I did make a few little things that I really like in my teeny tiny sketchbook! It is 3.5 x 4.75 inch (8.89 x 12.07 cm) It was challenging to paint this small with terrible brushes, but I am still happy with the results.
[ #oc #art #fantasy #creatureart ]
A traditional painting of my oc Daliel with a limited color palette, they were painted with leftover paint from another project. No foundation sketch was used, and they are simplified with more chibi proportions. Daliel is a demonic humanoid with purple skin and antelope horns, and torn up feathery wings. A traditional painting in the same sketchbook of my oc Daliel in a more detailed though still cartoony style. There's a blue wintery background and this time I used a foundation sketch to start with, and had more intent to make a finished painting here, though it was still to use up leftover paint from a previous project.

This was the first full illustration I did on my current computer, I still love it a lot.
A small wingless dragon-like creature with feather-like scales along its head, back, and tail. Two big horns, large ears. It has a basket with small flowers in its mouth, and it's looking with sparkly delight down to a larger flower in its path.

I got stuck on a song and had to draw the scene in my head.

This is Kolya, the vampire that took in Verdant in the pocket dimension they were both stuck in.

[ #oc #art #vampire ]
A vampire named Kolya, who is a humanoid with pale skin, pointy ears, visible fangs, and white hair cut to different lengths. His hair is styled so half of it covers one side of his face. He's sitting on a pile of rubble from a broken statue of a lion, partly covered by a sheet. The scenery has early gothic architecture. He's wearing a simple white button down shirt, black trousers, and heeled black boots. Text on the image reads: "A spider preaching with poison on its lips, 'to get out of here is to promise me a kiss,'" Which are lyrics from "Honey, I'm Home" by GHOST

I say this with zero hyperbole.

SOMA hit me on a deep emotional level. I thought about it for months after it was over and I still randomly think about it.

Pretty sure it rewired my brain a little bit.

Sketch vs. Final

Not my sketch - this is what the author provided for the book cover. Even the most basic sketch can help!

📣 If someone you care about asks you not to call them something, don't call them that anyway even censored!!

For me, it's just as triggering. My mind can fill in the blank just fine. And I feel even more wronged; you censoring proves you remembered it bothers me, but you chose to say it anyway.

If you tell people you like the art they make, you will eventually reach the creative people who screencap compliments and save them in a special folder to read through when times are hard. I have 5MB of one individual being rad about my writing. They have their own FOLDER. Be that person.

It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks
brendelbored.bsky.social Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 24d
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Bwwwuuhhhh maintaining friendships is so hard and complicated sometimes... good golly. Goodness and gracious. I wish I had a non hurtful way to tell someone "I need a break from you for a while"

I hope to get back into making art again soon, I've just been dealing with drama in the background

My original characters Briar (a merfolk with black and orange scales) and Eddie (A blond, curly haired human with round glasses and a brown outfit). Eddie is trying to sit quietly on a bench reading a book, but Briar is sleeping on him, their tail draped over him.

More amazing hybrid costume/puppetry stuff.

Suspension-of-disbelief level: even the cameraman points to stuff and interacts as if the character can see anything. 💯

What if this but werewolf?
