Commissions open for July!

For those who don't know me, I'm Ren (I also go by Lain in art spaces). I'm an avid digital artist and portrait painter, lover of all colors and faces alike. And I'm opening commissions this month for the first time in a long time💗 If you're interested in commissioning me, please fill in the form below before doing anything else.

COMMISSION FORM

I paint: ~ Humans and humanoid figures (elves, tieflings, mermaids, etc) ~ Fanart and original characters ~ Multiple figures at once ~ Nudity and NSFW (within reason) ~ Minimal backgrounds and borders

I don't paint: ~ Furries/Anthropomorphic figures (unfortunately I'm inexperienced) ~ Animals/pets ~ Gore or violent content ~ Detailed backgrounds/landscapes/architecture ~ Mech

Happy Pride

No one asked for this but I felt like putting Rook in a sexy Christmas elf costume to start off the new year.

I also felt like putting him out of said costume here.

Zea in a sexy Christmas elf costume sans the costume.

Just a second version of my new fav couple

Zea "Rook" Mercar and Taash Hello.

I've been away on a bit of a "queer journey part 2" because of veilguard.

It's given me a lot to think about in terms of my trans-ing experience through video games. Despite any qualms I may have about dragon age as a whole, getting to play as a trans man and have my character identify as such was pretty euphoric.

I even started my own (very smutty) fanfic because of just how badly I wanted to see Rook and Taash's story(ies) continue to develop.

So I'm going to be very not normal about these fictional characters for a while, and I'm sharing my AO3 here if anyone wants to see that happen in semi-real time. And as is the case for everything I'm very normal about, I also made art.

I singled out one of the portraits from this piece because I thought they looked interesting on their own.

My work is a mess but I like it being that way.

I like not knowing where something is going when I first start it because it allows the painting to finds itself along the way. And I always end up with unexpected but welcome results.

This may not be the most "egregious" example of my unhinged process but it is one where I enjoy seeing the different stages and felt there was something valuable there to be shared.

That's 100 paintings

And now I think I need a break lol.

Or at least some time away from constantly thinking about what to put up next.

That said, I do still have a few leftover things laying around in my iPad: little WIPs and process videos that can be shared now that I've finally decided to create an online space for my work. I will be posting more intermittently. And I do have bigger plans that may one day become a reality.

For now, I'd like to allow myself to think of posting 100 works as the big step that it is for me.

But you'll still be seeing me around <3

Here's an old painting of a photo that was in one of several albums left behind in my childhood home.

And here I am topping off this recent series of red paintings with my favorite drag supermonster: Niohuru X from the latest season of Dragula.

Sort of the antithesis of what I've been posting so far: less composed and messier than usual.

Midway through figuring out the color scheme, this piece started to present major Carmilla vibes.

It's always a good time to capitalize on my underrated vamp queen.
