This is a teaser for you Black Butler fans, this is my attempt at making my own BB one page comic with my own characters in the universe; prepare thyself!

I wanted to revisit a ttrpg character design. his name is Quinoa, a firbolg(fir bolg) barbarian. he's very chill until he's not. I originally went with a slim tall build but my brother suggested he should be bigger so i messed with the design a bit more and i do like him as a big boi. here is the progression of the redesign and flat colors

Meet my main character Stephen Withavee, half-fae/elf boy who works customer service for a magical tech support company

Random word prompt, sexy French Fries lol need i say more?

I never really wanted to make this 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.

here is a test comic of Stephen before his redesign

This was my third attempt at drawing my friends half daemon character while playing a ttrpg, his name is Vigil; this version inspired my current avatar, i randomly started rawing things all "children's book" style is what i am calling this and its now a thing i have to do. everytime i draw an original character i have to draw a version like this.

This is Eirean, a recentl reserected character in a oneshot ttrpg campaign, his purpose was to restore his kingdom after it fell, he is unable to die until this is complete, he is lawful stupid

This is my persona, he is a wizard named Valdo Udvardy, if you see that name in mmo's its more than likely me, say hi!

cats as mashed potats, because if they fits they sits, food inspired drawing again lol

I drew this when The Witcher series first came out and when Geralt kept saying "hmmm" it reminded me of when Bob Belcher does it too and i had to do draw this! it honestlyh hurt my head trying to draw this style idk why

meet me, your local artist trying to find the courage to attempt to make this his thing :) "head empty, only gnome" was a phrase my partner said when they saw my avatar lol
