I think if i mess with this anymore, I'm going to overdo it. So! It's finished up. Summer is ending, and I'm looking forward to Autumn, but it felt like these months flew by.

A rainy day like this is perfect for painting and drawing. I've been using my iPad/procreate quite a lot over the years, but the battery is starting to go . So I've been trying to get used to Photoshop and my Cintiq, again. It'slow goings in comparison, buuut! I'm am getting faster.

Progress on a commission. I'm almost done! Man, was this hard for me. For one, I've never done anything cyberpunk...ish, and two, never drew a background like this before. But I think it's coming along nicely!

Mostly messing around with inking and colours, but decided to finish this one. Used my city waterfront as a quick background! It's something while I struggle with me improving my colour theory, backgrounds, etc. Even if I don't like my BG's, I have to least attempt them.

Back to not being able to draw or paint anything. Ugh, what is wrong with me? I used to be good at this. And happy with it. Now, I dislike everything (well, almost everything) that I'm working on. It's super frustrating. Maybe I need to go back to basics and keep practicing.

I got into Letterkenny way too late, and now I'm almost finished it. And I'm caught up on Shoresy. Not bad for a quick sketch! I want to do more drawings of Wayne, and more of the Letterkenny characters. #letterkenny

A colour and painting study. This was just for practice. I used an example for the colour so I could learn and understand as I was going along . I'm never completely satisfied with my painting. But! I do like this

My OC Floe in more winter appropriate gear. One of the main characters in my comic that I'm working on. She makes her first appearance in the second issue. Maaaaaay colour this. I love inking.

Recently, a friend told me I should try selling adoptables. Like OC's I create, and then someone purchases the character for their own use. I'd like to try it. How does it work though? Like... not sure how to explain my question in further detail. But any, and all information would be appreciated.

Autumn Dryad Some new artwork, for a change! Took me a bit to decide if this was done, buuuut it's done. #art #digitalartwork #painting #digitalpainting #dryad #tree #autumn #fall #seasonal

Azrael Amai, fire queen from my comic. I struggled with this one because I couldn't accomplish what I wanted. So I tried a different approach to colouring it, and wound up with this. Which I like! #art #oc #artistoninstagram #illustration #digital #digitalartwork #digitalpainting #comicart #comic

Ariadne, and extra character from my comic. Currently only in the written parts, not yet in the comic. Inked an old drawing and made some improvements. Quick colour and shading, but I love her colour scheme. :) #demon #oc #characterart #characterdesign #ink #digitalartist #digitalpainting #comic
