How to Make an Artist Happy

1. Reblog instead of like 2. Add tags when reblogging beCAUSE THEY WILL LITERALLY REMEMBER IT FOR HOURS

Finally uploading *something*... I love Xenoblade X, it has everything I can possibly love in it. I have been working on this picture far too long. Few months? (started to actually save progress pics since I realized it may be beneficial for many reasons, such as files corrupting, haha.) I am way farther ahead than this but realized that It takes me so long to get noticeable progress so I will show things closer to when I am actually semi complete. (it looks nothing like these so far, if you seen all the wips it is such a weird mess) I will most definitely be drawing more of this game 83

This was super fun to work on didnt stress me out haha, backgrounds are the most relaxing things to work on.

Submission 1 (I tried posting this multiple times but had an uploading error, I was trying for a few hours. I didn’t want to take any chances, so I apologize if this went through more than this post.)

Anyways, this is for Friday the 13th the game. c:

I thought it was funny one of the characters had a similar coloring style to Minx, so I put her in that outfit (I didn’t really think through the pose with the skirt.)

This took around 30? hours, I didn’t keep track but I have been working on this nonstop since I found out about the contest.

I am highly interested in the paid position, am 24, live in the US.

I am a fulltime freelance artist but haven’t had much luck in general.

Dear Tumblr,

All those posts you see of young artists charging $3, $6, $10 for a drawing because they need help? That’s fucking exploitation, and fuck you if you think it’s reasonable or a “good deal" to pay nickels and dimes to squeeze a full-color original drawing out of some talented, hardworking kid because things are tight, and they can’t afford their textbooks. Or food. They sure as hell can’t afford to make you art for $6.

Instead, stop. And ask them where you can donate. If you can afford a $6 drawing, then you can afford to spend $6 simply to help someone. You don’t need internal organs as payment.

Don’t allow young artists to be exploited.

soo-da replied to your post: Why must I be so slow when it comes to...

I know how you feel ._____. And then there’s days when I draw shit

Exactly~ I mean sometimes it's both, I could be taking super long on something and thinking in my head "This HAS to turn out good right??" even if I think it looks a little off...then I realize, nope, I did bad. 8D

More Inktober stuff, lots of brain farts for some of these, eh, still enjoyable :D I never really show my sketchbook stuff, then again I gotta start drawing in em more in the first place, but I have (had) near death pens while drawing all these, had them for awhile, getting new ones soon 8D

Still nothing really ready to post but I’m tired of going months on end with no posting so I’ll probably just post works in progress and once I can get drawing supplies do that again as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another sculpt of Lapis Lazuli :3 might end up making a lot of her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just want to say now that this in particular was inspired by the Fayth in Final Fantasy X. (I might make more, idk yet though, it was a side thing I was casually doing alongside figures) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I haven’t painted this yet because I was thinking of maybe trying to make copies of this if anyone would be interested in buying. Some others have told me I should try making them into mirrors (I didnt put two and two together, it is the same size as a handle mirror too.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I still need to refine some things before painting or possibly molding, mainly just sanding, lots of sanding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also does anyone know how to prevent text clumping together on posts on mobile?

I finished another sculpture, wanna make a stand thing for this one... Still not in the mood to draw anything at all (even though I was nearly done with four drawings but whatever) I was in the middle of another sculptor but I realize I lack the materials to progress so I'll start on another one.

Woo, I actually got a really nice Peridot today, it is perfect for what I wanna make actually, size, shape, etc.

Design sketch thing of virus!cry ._.  this is a reference thingy for another thing being worked on~
