Hi, today's my 28th birthday and to celebrate I would love if you could help me out with liking and sharing my art :3

Also if you're feeling generous and wanna get me a present, I accept tips on Ko-Fi, I'm currently gathering funds for a camera so I can start making videos of the process of my paintings!

Hey yall, I've been falling on hard times lately and financially struggling really hard the latter half of this year. I made a Gofundme to help out as I'm going through some wicked burnout right now and am unable to take commissions while I continue looking for work. If you can share this around it would mean a lot. I'm trying to get myself stable again but it feels harder and harder lately. Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing.

"The Other Holy War" gouache on arches paper 60 x 40 cm very happy to finally be able to share what is now my largest illustration to this day with you all. This illustration was commissioned for the cover of the upcoming TTRPG "Let Us Build a Tower", an incredibly ambitious project with over 100 illustrations by an array of incredibly talented artists, for which the preview is now live on Kickstarter, make sure to bookmark it so you don't miss the launch ;) right now you can also find the full resolution file of this painting, along with the thumbnail sketch and charcoal value study (which will remain Patreon exclusive) on my Patreon, so make sure to check that out too!

What’s your fave colors to use in pieces? Cool or warm tones?

As of lately i enjoy using black, beige, brown and red. I do love using white gouache a lot as well.

I rarely use cool tones, if not to portray uneasiness in a piece, but I think I'm gonna be avoiding them for a while.

Hi! What does the sigil/symbol mean in the top of your memento mori piece?

Hi! That's an alternative symbol for caput mortuum, which is more commonly represented through a more or less stylized skull, and which refers to the leftover of alchemical processes. Pretty much the symbol of absolute decay. I can't find the author credited for the symbol I normally use, but looks like it could be inspired by Diderot's?

My dumb ass had to go emergency purchase art materials (to replace the ones I lost during my last move) with money that I don't really have right now so if you're feeling generous and want to drop me a couple bucks, I would really appreciate it

Sorry to hear about your day! Your work is so cool and masterful! I love the shapes you use and how you handle the strong contrasts!

Thank you! Today was slightly better, although I still have other very stressful stuff planned for the upcoming months lmao

And I appreciate your comment, though I have to disagree on the masterful part ahha. Most time I have no idea what I'm doing and the little I'm able to achieve is done through trial and error and a little bit of luck :v
