AbyssOwl Art (Comms Open!)

@katpick.bsky.social - I still haven’t heard from you! Please send me an email at abyssowlart@gmail.com if you want to claim the art.

This features so many things that I love! A witch, ruins, a magical animal, and adventure! What actually sucks is that art like this has to compete with AI and algorithms, but your art is awesome.

Looks great!

The giveaway is still running, but not for much longer!

A couple quick things: For some reason there is a tooltip showing "Untitled" when I hover over the character on the main page.
I also would probably add as many character design examples as you can when people reach the "Characters" page if you have more.

To highlight community links like Discord and your Ko-Fi, the only thing that comes to mind for me would be to make them larger and perhaps utilize icons to help direct the eye. A speech bubble or the Discord logo for your server and a shopping cart or shopping bag icon for your shop may help!

I've heard advice from some in the entertainment industry that those who are reviewing a professional site don't have much time, so the faster they can see your work, the better. Given all the things you want to display on your site, I'm not sure the best solution to that particular challenge.

Thank you! It's awesome to know folks like what I am making.

To clarify, the artwork would be a new painting (not the rabbit pictured here) very small in size, probably less than 4 inches in any direction, to make it easy to send! It'll likely be mixed media (acrylic + gouache + other random stuff) on heavy illustration paper. Cheers!

I have over 100 followers here on bsky now! Thanks so much to everyone who has followed me! To celebrate, I'll run a tiny giveaway! I'll select a random follower who likes and shares this post and send them a small original painting.

I took a look at it! Personally, I really like the general aesthetic, the colors and layering look nice. I like that there are clear links to all socials on the left, but what to do with the rest likely depends a lot on what you'd like to accomplish with the portfolio. Is it to get hired by studios?

I especially like the second, with that metal cage thing. Really nice!

I say go for it! Every now and again I’ll pick up something like that which I haven’t done in a while and it always feels good.

Mountains at sunset with a snowy pineforest in the front

Today is my birthday, I would be super happy if you shared my art a bit 💫🎉

I’ve surfed from article to article before, and unlike normal doomscrolling, didn’t feel as though my time was entirely wasted, so this feels like a nifty idea!

Yesss, that was actually an accident but when I saw it I thought it was too cool to fix.

Thanks! I played around with a bunch of different blinks and eye movements, and this one was the winner!

Glad you like it! Also, happy belated birthday!

I participated in this, and going in I was really confident I'd be able to discern human-made music from machines... That confidence was drained pretty fast when I started listening to samples and second-guessing all my choices.

Thank you! This is my first time sharing a sketch of her, so I’m happy you like her! (Or at least her hair, haha!)

Always liked the way this creature design came out! Wonder if I should clean it up and make it a full illustration and not just a sketch.

So cute!

Sounds toxic for sure. Another to avoid!

Love that it's a mix of cute and creepy! And the texture along the back is really nice.
