zmeess speedpaint, take two!

a line-art work in progress and the finished illustration side-by-side, depicting a lithe elf with dusky pink skin relaxing in the grass with an apple in one of their hands; there is a white python slithering around them and amaranth flowers swaying above. at the bottom of the two images are the words "line-art" and "full render", with an arrow pointing from the former to the latter.ALT

finally finished splicing together the recordings of this commission that i posted a while back 🍎

available to my monthly subscribers here! witness me rotate that canvas again and again 🤭

a digital hips-up seated portrait of an elven lady, looking at the viewer with a serene smile and holding an open book in her hands. she is petite and slender, with a youthful round face and big icy blue eyes with very small dark pupils. she has a blue-gray skintone, long pointed ears that are angled low, and a short fluffy bob of silver-grey hair. she is wearing an almost black purple dress with sleeves that are puffy at the top and flare out at the bottom. the collar of the white shirt she has on under the dress is decorated with a peachy-orange silk bow. the background behind her is dusty rose, with wide light grey brush strokes accentuating the character's silhouette.ALT

commission for @kingrhapsody, his necromancer Briar Essor! thank you for commissioning me 💜

another year full of purple! i remember that when i started assembling this summary at the beginning of the year i wanted to make sure that i picked diverse artworks that featured things other than the purple and orange wizards, but i gave up real quickly. not even because i haven’t drawn anything else (i have), but because i’ve been very happy with how a lot of those wizards have turned out. thanks shadowgast for sponsoring another year of creativity 💜🧡

i don’t remember creating a particular new year’s resolutions list for art last year like i did the previous one, but regardless of that i feel very accomplished 🤭 i’ve started doing more studies, came back to traditional art, and picked up a lot of fiber crafts that i hadn’t done in years (i may have Caleb and Essek plushies that are waiting for a photo shoot).

hope to stay creative in 2025, and wish you all the same 🥂
