A quick 1h study to close my work day. I’m learning to be more expressive with brushes!

I’m honestly super happy that this piece gained some traction! I’ve spent the last months reconnecting with what I really want to paint, horses are my fav animal. So here is the underpainting and some color studies I did

My last painting! A tribute to the TCG Bella Sara, one of the first I started collecting. Also discovered I really love painting horses

2025 is definitely the year where this statement has started to change, where I look at my art and think β€œyou know what? This is cool”.
What can I say, baby steps!
I have no idea if any of these pieces will bring me closer to any of my goals, I guess 2026 will give me an answer.

I owe it to myself to make an art wrap up of this year, with a selection of things I have painted.
For a long time, I painted and, in the end would think β€œI would never hang this on a wall”.

Aah I seee! Yeah the horns might actually become a hinderance from what you have on screen! But I like the style, it’s very fresh, compared to other v tubers

A female deity without skin and missing abdomen is sitting on a throne composed of fleshy substance. Top half of her head is a kind of chalice with "blood vessels" resembling tree roots. On her chest and shoulders is a collar depicting a crow that is clawing into her. A one massive eye is looking at the viewer from underneath the Throne.

Goddess from my world building project "Jester's Tear":
Nerev the Goddess of Blood, creator of the Sylvans.

She'll be one of the main antagonists in my project. Also made these storyboards and item description for fun. Not currently planning on making a game out of this :)

Oh yeah, I agree a 100% I’ve seen it on myself. I do believe also that intuition can be trained, like you can get better at knowing how to approach any hardship. You develop a method and stick by it! I believe talented individuals might develop it quicker, but it’s still something you must train

Honestly I agree with your definition of talent, but I do think it exists! Does it mean anything if you don’t study and don’t put in the hard work? No, but I still think it’s there. I also think that talent is just having a good intuition on the subject.

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond.

The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs.

OMIOS URES

i will always side with sex workers and smut creators and you should too. kill the puritanical pearl-clutching brainworm raising a stink about respectability and optics. it is a backdoor fascists will use to sneak their way into your sympathies. porn is good, sex is normal, kink is human. grow up.
