A crude-ish pixel art of Lujo, a little devil fellow doing a mean expression. He is surrounded by plumes of smoke, as if a spell had just been cast on him

Another giant devilish fellow, Amor, towering over the viewer. Amor is very dramatically lit, with apocalyptic clouds at sunset behind him. A small crude pixel art of Lujo is in the corner, glaring up at him

agh god these pics are like the most quaint thing ever and make me so happy, it's making me want to draw my characters holding grocery store snacks. I need to doodle my sona holding econo cookies or something (specifically the square ones)

aaaaah it makes me so happy to see Nito again. There's this one pic of them wolf posted like 3 years ago that I still think about to this day, they're such a beautiful cat

You are BLASTING(GOOD) THESE COMMS I'm so happy for you!! Partly because you're making great progress but also partly because these are SO COOL this is such an expressive pose for this character design

This is maybe the most niche thing ever, but I was introduced to the works of Sabin Bălașa by @deviinit.bsky.social the other day, and I Literally Can't Stop Thinking About This Design.

A strange beast with a long neck and a big smile stares back over their shoulder at the viewer. A streak of shiny gold swirls around them, controlled by a single raised hand which glows a bright blue.

It's become a tradition of sorts that on new years eve, I just open a canvas and draw whatever comes to mind, so here's this I suppose

In case anyone is curious, you can read the full patch notes here since I included a few extra features and fixes!

For those who aren't familiar, it's essentially an offline art tagging tool! It provides a few quality of life features for managing your gallery like batching source files with images and a filename search that doesn't take forever. You can read more about it here!

Today marks one year since I released my gallery organization tool, Impart. To celebrate, the app has been updated with Linux support!

A huge crow monster hunched over with his wings up. He has a wicked glowing smile

Quick little Corvalus speedpaint!

I'm gonna be honest, I'm just thrilled someone was able to read the effect as heavy rain, because by the time I finished it, I couldn't even tell anymore LOOOOL

That'd be a super cool fight though! I've always wanted to do a scene like that with extremely intense weather effects

A three-eyed owl monster, obscured by torrential downpour in the dark of night. The rain blurs their image, but their eyes and crooked smile glow through the rain

IMPERVIOUS

A purely black and red image of two massive beasts slashing into each other with a crazed look in their eyes. A giant LCD timer in the background is counting down from 0:30

A very messy watercolor of a infernal cast-iron beast with a symmetrical head; eyes above and below its jaws. They are enveloped in a very stylized flame with lots of bright yellows, reds and blues

A little me lore: For the past nine years, it's been a little tradition of mine to try draw something out of my comfort zone on Halloween. I just started this year's pic now, but I have no idea if it's gonna come together at all, so for the time being, here's a couple of pics from previous years!

I've been really captivated by the Skate Story trailer that dropped the other day and it's had me thinking. I feel like there's such a fine art to this sort of thing; to pack something so enthralling in only a minute or two.

I've been wondering, is there a trailer that you still think about?

Every so often, I find myself scrolling back to look at this pic. As someone who started learning how to draw kinda late, I find this piece nostalgic in a comforting way.

Also I just really like this pic, I literally can't figure out how you made that zigzag effect on the inner art look so perfect

lol I can actually specifically relate to this. I would love to learn how to make a good chicken noodle but every recipe online is like "Takes 10 cups of broth and three whole chickens, serves 800"

Gris, an alien, drawn in pen on paper. Various angles of its face and body.

yucky dog

A sergal taur with bright red fur and a long flowing mane. They have a very gentle expression, and are leaping gracefully

I'm particularly obsessed with the color mixing and brushwork you used to depict the refraction on the translucency! It's such a delightful, evocative effect

possibly the cutest expression to have ever been drawn

Inspiration is so funny to me. This last month, I've had like zero motivation to draw, and then the other day, I misread a sign that says "Tour" as "Taur", and now I want to draw 500 taurs

Two guarians, both eyeless, with text next to them that says: "Spirits, able to perceive the world around them via other-worldly means"

An eyeless, anthromorphic fluffy dragon guy with text next to them that says: "Innately, immensely powerful species, capable of astrally projecting their perception, allowing them to see in third person."

Two eyeless, impish summon guys with text next to them that says: "idk they can just see somehow"

Eyeless perception ⁽²⁰²⁴⁾

ripping this out of your notebook and eating it, it's so tasty mmmm

Bummer too since I was actually kind of looking forward to having a dedicated linux machine. Oh well, fun idea for the future I guess

Unfortunately, the used laptop fell through, so instead, I'll be doing plan B, which is just biting the bullet and setting up WSL on my tower (which I'll do after I upgrade to W11). I've got a busy next few months in front of me, so it might be a while, but I haven't forgotten about this!!!!

Various rough sketches of sunmaker, an anthromorphic deity beast, feathery and fluffy, with a long rectangular muzzle filled and a piercing glare. They are smiling at the camera with huge, sharp teeth

Maybe it's because they're designed around abstract nostalgia, but there's something I find so indescribably comforting and cozy about weirdcore stuff and I always wonder if the feeling is mutual. I'm legit addicted to those "weirdcore images with so-and-so soundtrack" vids

She just finished baking cookies and was wondering if you wanted some
