#TheFlightSMP the longing in my heart to do silly cover art never went away, MCYTers Drift and Shelby it's your turn at my fake book rodeo. Love it when girls get to do goofy shit, be nosy and experience the horrors

#TheFlightSMP I am so invested in this minecraft roleplay thing, man, I've met so many incredible people thorugh it already and wonderful Watermunch and his tragic gothic boy just got to me I had to draw em

#TheFlightSMP Maddy Millkberry and her dragon give me heart palpitations, they're so full of ambition and rage and I love when women get to do that. Anyway, I'll be on this dragon drawing thing for a while whoopsie

there's a new SMP in town, #TheFlightSMP and it's got dragons and cool as heck cast and I've been obsessed, y'all, all my blorbos are so toxic and weird, i love it here and drawing all them cool dragons at reckless speeds

up next: deciphering 15 minutes of stream of conciousness monologue about cookies into an art-nuveau illustration cause why not, it makes sense in my head, man

while bsky is broken imma share that im in a lobster too buttery steak too juicy mode today, rendering evil twink doing goofy shyt :D

next in the works - coolest woman ever with an axe, I'm gonna be back on that hatching grind with this one, cause i want that frenetic energy to shine

"Is there evil in Oakhurst? Maybe. I dont think you a vampire, but from my perspective you do have all the makings of a monster in you." #vsmp #VampiresSMP

not much progress today, having too much fun watching hermits charity event but here's a sketch of two twinks beefing imma finish tomorrow

"How did this even look before? You know, artistic license is a great thing, i get to pick now" #vsmp #VampiresSMP

i was not allowed to read Harry Harrison books not because they were too horny(Anne Rice was fine to my parents lmao) but bc they were too silly. Glenn Cook was fine, Zelazny and Heinlein too, but my parents had some cosmic beef with Steel Rat series i still dont know reason of

also kinda incredible how much science fiction and fantasy was everywhere in early post-soviet, all my friends parents had like a whole room filled with books, i remeber you could buyt a whole dragonlance series for like 20 bucks tops (provided you could drag them hardcovers home)

god i hope kids these days dig through plasts of culture before them like i did in my teens, i hope they have experiences like hearing Led Zeppelin for the first time, or watching an Errol Flynn movie, or reading a Somerset Moem novel. I hope kids 100 years from now do the same

i fear that social media serving endless streams of content on a plate robs that essential joy of accidental discovery born out of pure curiosity that shapes a human being. "Suggested based on your likes" is the devil

why did i choose this angle out of my own volition, why did i think that doing sorta rococo style lighting would be funny, idk man, why cant my brain thirst for a chibi style or something

Remember. If you don't know which person in your friend group is possessed by an ancient and nameless cosmic horror brimming with unspeakable hungers and malice, it's probably you.

Actually yeah, my old 2016 symbolic TF art slapped so hard, what a cool time to be in the fandom it was! Made so many lifelong friendships by rotating these fictional metal guys in my head

Quote Post with an old piece that you still like! This Prowl from 2016 and this 2018 Cisko were like, a generational serve

right now I'm in a headspace of "idk doing art-deco symbolism kinda cringe" but i like my old slightly symbolic pieces and like looking at symbolic pieces from others!! actually wait, let's try making that geometry thing again, maybe it'll snap into place

apparently i woke up at night, checked news, banged out a sketch for the next illustration and went back to sleep, hyperfixation is the name of the game

"Now, this house is 100% vampire proof!" Exclaimed Avid, to a thunderous applause and squeaks that very suspiciously sounded like a swarm of bats.

being artist is hard cause whatever you do - the part of you is gonna hate it - make art for yourself? broke and useless. make art for money? sell out. lots of engagement? broke containment, watch out for weirdos and scammers. Too little? Your art is bad and you should feel bad. There's no cure. But

You can always have a lil snack and draw your faves smashing down big style. Just get a treat to keep your mind goblins occupied.

thread brought to you by opening insta and seeing a lot of successful people all at once and then opening mail and seeing zero commission requests and musing the hell i've been doing with my life, once again. Better go get me a donut stat

next piece in the works and i'm back in struggle city but this time because of shapes, was never much good with stylization but this time, ehhh kinda alright?? also Kyle WSebster's brushes, my beloved

"Get away! Get away! " Cried Jack, but his pleas gave just as little resistance as his silver sword. Inspired by #vsmp series, the finale of session 1. That scene with Jack, Scott and Owen had insane levels of improv, timing and editing from everyone involved! #VampiresSMP

the scene in question looks like this btw. Like, it's staged insanely cool but you can see that the gape for interpretation is deliciously vast

i genuinely love my drafts, prelims are always such a banger. aaand now i gotta figure out how to render transparent water in ink, oof

what in Durer's name am i doing lmaoo. Getting the brain and hand to cooperate to get the values right was such a struggle bus ride

okay folds are coming along nice,the thought of " Is this Wet Enough" has been in my brain for 3 hours straight, i'm pretty sure all illustrators have been freaks since the dawn of time

~There's iron in the air, and silver in the ground... First of the fanart illustrations based on the incredible VSMP series! I wanted to celebrate the mood of the series and the incredible location and mod work that went into it, the atmosphere, man, absolutely insane! #vsmp #bwsky #artsky

jfc, found this brush that would have been ideal for the prev piece. the curse of 10 000 brushes gathered for 2 decades strikes again. freehanded this pissed off twink in a trenchcoat in like 3 mins to make a point
