digital.
Digital art is my newest endeavor, and the most fun I've had in a long time. It's really let me reach new levels of skill, creativity, and depravity. Please enjoy these highlights of my recent exploration into burn out, living as a neurospicy individual in a Ritz Cracker world, and experimenting with sarcasm, fantasy escapism, and picking fights with out of touch family members as coping mechanisms.

Don't see it? Let me know so I can rectify that and get you the merch-fueled dopamine rush you so sorely seek.
attempts at fine art.
When I was just starting digital art, I mainly used it as a way to augment or plan out a few of my traditional art pieces.
For example, I was able to experiment with linoleum print styles before committing to carving a piece, and mural proposals were much easier to visualize when I could just draw directly on a photo of the proposed space.
world building.
What started as a DnD homebrew world has taken over my life and I'm not mad about it.
As I built my homebrew peoples with varying amounts of inspiration from real-life cultures, I quickly became frustrated with the sort of Tolkien mono-culture of Germanic and Norse skinned elves and dwarves throughout fantasy art. So I figured... fine. I'll just do it myself.
People as subjects have never been my strong suit so this has been a fun exercise in getting out of my comfort zone. Are they exactly what I was looking for? Not even close. But I'm happy with the progress and the results so far (or at least the ones I posted here).
