Forgot to post this one! This was probably the longest I've ever spent on a single picture 🥲

Poll said people liked these, so here's a couple more monster love button designs. I really wanted to use this heart shape, but I'm kinda struggling to figure out how to make the designs fit the shape? Also man it's hard to do these but keep the design "vague" enough 🙃. If anyone has other supernatural/paranormal/creature romance ideas pls let me know.

I currently have 3 spots open ^_^

Updated Commission info with more up to date example pics!

I'm really wanting to do either some dark fantasy style characters or more complex designs like book covers, so those will take priority. But I'm open to anything right now. Shoot me a message if you're interested or if you have any questions! Also, I didn't list everything I probably could in the do's/don'ts section so don't be afraid to ask, there's very few things that are hard "no's" for me.

Anyone else been playing Nightreign? Not sure I'm a fan despite how much I love Elden Ring, just not my style of gameplay. But I do love the character designs.

So, something I see a lot of people asking other artists is "what's your process?". I feel like it can vary so much for each individual artist, and even varies wildly from piece to piece. So I thought it might help to show there's absolutely no rules when it comes to "process".

This is a piece I did for inktober years ago and I loved it, but it just wasn't what I envisioned. So I'm rendering over the top of the original ink drawing in Procreate. Drawing stuff traditionally honestly comes way easier for me than sketching on the iPad, but rendering it digitally gives it something I just can't achieve with traditional mediums.

Alright fellow freaks. I need to know if this is something people would be interested in. Designed these as buttons because the ones I've seen that straight up say "monster fucker" are a little too obvious for me lmao. Wanted something *maybe* a little more subtle? I dunno how I feel about it yet tbh. And I'm not sure what other monsters/creatures people would like. Give me some opinions ^_^

[faintestgem]

Working on some new button designs. I have too many ideas and am paralyzed by so many choices, so thought this would be a good one to start with 🥲 +

I've been absolutely obsessed with travel stamps and stickers for awhile now and I feel like I don't have nearly enough yet lol. I wanted to do some designs for spooky/weird places and the Haunted Museum is an all time favorite of mine.

I have a couple of places in the Nevada area that I want to do (since that's where I live and they're places I've actually been to). But I'd love some suggestions on other popular haunted/paranormal/spooky scary places if anyone's got some.

Some old OC art. One of my favorite characters I've ever made ...and never finished 😭.

I had set up a huge Spider verse RP with a friend. We put tons of work into making (in my opinion lol) anawesome and engaging server. But none of the other members wanted to RP without a DM telling them exactly what to do. I'm talking "ok, I'll talk to the receptionist. What do I say?" Kinda stuff.

Hugely upsetting that I put so much work into something that failed to launch basically. But I still love this character so maybe I'll post some finished art and character sheets someday 🥲

Tiny Count Orlok. Nosferatu sticker sheets were a hit at my last convention so I'm making more! I'm so happy people loved this movie so much 😭

[faintestgem]

Im really bad at taking pics of myself 😔. But convention day means I get to do fun makeup 🥰

[faintestgem]

Little guys. Didn't realize I took the pics with the film still on, I swear they're not usually so scuffed. Got a bunch more pics coming though.

And hopefully I'll get my Etsy back up soon 🥲

Redrawing a dumb doodle I did forever ago.

Finally getting some Arcane stuff done 😎

[faintestgem]

Dumping my first group of inktober things because I forgot I didn't post them here 🙃

Skipped a couple days in the middle because my old lady arthritic bones hurt. But hopefully I'll remember to keep up with most of the rest of the month. I don't think I realize until this year how many artists do their drawing ahead of time cuz this shits hard 😭

We love Malenia 🥲
