while watching The Witcher season 1 i realized Geralt says "hmmm" as much as Bob Belcher and decided to combine the two lol
I decided to revisit a ttrpg character of mine, Quinoa, who is a firbolg barbarian, he's very chill until he is not. i originally went for a slim tall barbarian look but my brother said he should be bigger, so i decided to go with a slim thick look lol i like it, here is the progression and flat colors
found old art drawn on an ipad mini; i remember being so proud of this, took me a week to draw because the dang ipad was so slow with only 2 gigs of ram lol i had multiple tabs and that poor thing was struggling lol but stillr poud of it
take it.
I never really wanted to make this to be a blog-blog, like write anything other than describe my art and put hashtags to the pieces. Yet, here I am, midnight, nearly 1 am; and I just couldn't wait to write this out.
I am afraid. I am lost and afraid, yet this feeling drives me more. I don't feel like an artist. Maybe it is because I never was formally trained, my skill has always been self taught mostly with guidance from other artists and my father. Maybe the lack of formal training is why I never pursued a career with my art? I have always regretted that and nearing 40, who knows if that will ever happen. This thought causes dread, depression and anxiety. I don't know if I should continue to draw, I feel lost. I am afraid to pursue my art even as a freelance, I don't take judgement well or criticism. Yet I know if I do not, I wont grow or gain more skill. I digress.
I write this because I post my art on various social medias and get nowhere. I don't know if I am doing this correctly. Should I network more? It's ok to ask for help. I see my posts get very few clicks, likes, etc. and others seem to explode with popularity. I have tried fan art, OCs, progress art, revisit old drawings. I haven't tried the DTIYS stuff, but I want to because it looks fun.
To those that read this, to the artists who feel invisible because you don't get the traffic you deserve, comment below so we see you. I will follow. It's ok to feel invisible, we all have to start somewhere. Even if you are near 40 like myself. There are so many artists out there who have been rejected or never found their style, medium etc. until later in life.

Don't give up and don't draw for the likes, the fame or the notoriety. Draw because you want to create. Create because it is worth doing. In a world of destruction, chaos, hate; we need beauty. Things that inspire, drive us, give us awe and make us feel. Keep drawing. I see you, because I am you.
we are playing a homebrew one off ttrpg adventure this Saturday for one of our player's birthday. We combined the two most chaotic energy races that reminded us of them, goblins and kobolds and called the Koblins; and we determined a group of Koblins is called an Ope; so here is the Ope for the adventure, no names yet, but classes are: fighter, rogue, barbarian, sorcerer, bard, ranger, druid and warlock; no inteligence based classes lol just chaos monkies. we are all gonna roll randomly to see which character we get, so i tried to draw them as androgynous as possible because i don tknow whos getting whom. so i tried to draw extra wide hips or curves to give feminine but since they are also kobold dna in them they are reptile so no breasteses just smooth bois and the tails vary from short to long and horns vary, they kinda look like tiefling goblins but i tried to draw some reptilian features as well
random word prompt, why am I like this? words were sexy and favorite food and I chose french fries lol
Meet Vigilence, my friends half demon paladin of vengance.
I'd like alternative names for fantasy races. If you have any alternative names, especially for Dwarves, let me know. Original my handle/screen name was gonna be Hipster Dwarf but I felt it's not PC by today's standards and I didn't feel comfortable using it. So if you have some let me know by commenting below. The only one I came up with is Fjell or mountain and Kyn for kin combo lazily into Fjellkyn. Sláinte!
daily pose challenge from my brother @lord-nitekon, so i decided to draw our two oc's joshing around, figured they work with one another in our stories my bard would have played a prank on him and got caught and this is the end result
