For The Artist Asks: 6, 9, And 14!

For the artist asks: 6, 9, and 14!

Thanks for the asks!

6) Currently I'm just really inspired by other independent artists! @psshaw , @grosskelly , @artsydudejude , @abby-howard , @possessedpasm , @everydaylouie , @dimetrodone , @quesadillawizard , @coyoteprince , @pixel-lightart , @turboemmy , and @zooophagous come to mind, as well as others. They've all got such rich, unique styles and subject matter that I could just get lost in and I encourage checking out their work, there's a lot to learn and appreciate.

9) Currently I'm trying to improve on my textures! I'd like to add some depth to my digital work, emulating traditional textures like inks, newsprints, and paints would be nice

14) Oh my art has changed wildly. Let me drag some older examples up...

These are just some examples of my stuff through the years- 2011-ish, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, and 2022 are the rough timestamps on here but I jumped around a lot stylistically, pulling from things I enjoyed, and I had a WEIRD period where my art morphed from this very simple style to something more animeesque to stylized realism (there was a SUPER ugly phase) etc until I finally got comfortable and frankly while I always have room for improvement I have had a lot of fun lately just experimenting with a lot of different styles, playing fast and loose with shapes and rendering, even if I'm not that consistent with what I put out currently. Never know what to expect what I feel like putting down! Simpler shape, stronger colors, and inkpens and stuff are my bread and putter currently. I'm trying to push my character designs and enjoy myself. Notably I also took FOREVER to get comfy with doing digital art really, until I learned a lot of tips and tricks and figured out what worked for me I hated rendering digitally most of the time, and I still do most of my sketches traditionally, but I'm getting more and more comfortable with my digital lineart and rendering mostly thanks to things like Artfight where I get to experiment a lot in a short amount of time!

This has also reminded me that I want to revisit more of those stylized full-page pieces I did in Highschool like the bird dragon thing above
