Finally I can talk about this amazing thing, not just in clues!
Last year, I've did my part as an artist for David Tennant Fanzine: Many faces. I've made two drawings, and I can finally show them to you, since the fanzine is officially out!
I present to you, Richard from L. A. Without a Map
Have you seen this movie? Did you like it? Let me know ;)
It was a tedious process, but I've enjoyed every moment of it. I've learned a lot, and may I say, even improved a lot thanks to it.
I worked on this little something on and off for last 7 months. Looking back, it's funny how spot on their dance actually is
Made with polymer clay, acrylic paint, string LED light, DIY music box kit and some beads, it plays music and lights up from inside. Electric part is changeable if needed
Here are some close ups on figurenes (They are made of polymer clay only, for it to be extra light weight. Whole pair weights only 80 grams!)
Every side of the box is decorated with themes from the show
The whole thing is about 18 centimetres tall
I would love to know what @neil-gaiman thinks about it. I hope he notices :) But I understand if not. Poor guy has a lot to do
I'm already drawing for 10 years now, wow. Seems so long, yet not long enough. But I'm not here to brag, definitelly not. I just want to show you something.
This abomination here is a drawing I did in 2014. In that time, I was about two years in craft (a self taught hobby). I was drawing every single day for few hours after school. At that time, I was feeling both like a boss, because I felt this is the best I can do, and like a loser, because everyone was so much better than me.
And this is my latest traditional one. Do you see the difference? It took so much time and work, but it paid off. I would never believe I drew this, if you'd show this to my younger self in 2014.
What I'm trying to say is, sometimes you feel like don't make enough progress in the thing you're doing, and it makes you think it's worthless. You're not good enough fast enough. But that's not truth. Gaining skills take time, and it differs for everyone.
But every single drawing (or fic or embroidery or whatever you learn doing) will be better than the one before, even if you don't see it at first. It will take time, tons of it. It will be hard, tiring and you'll want to give up so many times, but it will pay off later. Trust me. Things will get easier, you'll feel more confident and more risky. And that's the time things will get crazy and funny.
Experiment, try everything you want to. It's your time, your hobby, and there's no one you should answer to. Remember, it should be fun, so make it fun.
These are some of my artistic experiments from 2022. Mediums and styles so foreing to me, it made me question things I can do. And reminded me what I need to learn next.
I don't think I'm the best at the craft. I'll never be. And that's a blessing, not a curse. You can only get better. Don't forget that ;)
I've turned 24 last week (yay!), and it came to my mind I should finally make peace with myself.
I've never felt pretty, and years of people bullying me didn't made me feel better. And since I don't feel pretty, I tend to avoid mirrors, I don't take pictures of myself, and when I really need to take some, I tend to make poses I kinda look good in. I would never paint myself. I only paint what I find beautiful. The things that deserve my time.
So since it was my birthday, I've decided to take the most neutral photo of myself and paint it. No fake poses, no make up, no smile even. I've decided to finally look into my eyes properly, take the time and paint the true me. With all the things I don't like, all things I tend to erase, all the things I was learned to feel ashamed of.
And you know what? I feel so much better. This is me. And I'm finnished with being ashamed for it.
I think the thing that hurts me the most about The Truman Show, is the fact they didn't even gave him a choice who to befriend, who to love. They've just shoved it into his face and made it seem like it's his choice.
This, and the fact they've crushed his dreams and needs and personality into ashes, and reshaped it into something they like. Something they can control. Something they can sell.
(Not tagged, but I've seen it on @pseudonympls. I think it could be fun)
I'll tag anyone whonwants to participate
I've made a new cover drawing, guys! This one took me much longer than usual, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It's fresh and different from my usual drawings for @pseudonympls but I think I've kept my style. I love trying new things and styles, so this was so much fun for me. I've even designed the logo for Straight to voicemail, and drew dinos for Bos shirt :D
If you haven't read @pseudonympls fanfic Something to take the edge off, go ahead and read it! It's her first Bo fanfic, but it's so damn good! You can read it, as usual, on her blog or here. Don't forget to show her some love!

Here is the first part of my upcoming series The Elemental Arcana!
Pepi is water element. She used to be cat on ship so I guess she likes water :D Cat is also patronus of Star arcana, which is often depicted with water can. Star is also often connected with Aquairus (which is also Portias sign!).
So I think it's fitting :D
I hope no one did this one š I f***ing love it!
In honor of announcement of Good Omens 2 I finally finished pencil drawing of Crowley! Iām so excited about second series!
What about you? Any Good Omens fans here?
I'm browsing Pinterest for some cool pictures when I see cover for the book The Storm Crow. So I had to redraw it for Julian Devorak of course.
I'm honestly suprised I've made 165 posts š³ Like... That's a lot dude š
Christmas time is here, guys! I can't believe it's actually December again. It's been a tough year but we made it! I've seen a lot of new things, learned many new skills, found new friends š„°
And to one very cool friend of mine is this little drawing dedicated. You may know @pseudonympls mainly from my Bo reblogs, but she is also amazing fanfic writer! I love her work and can't wait for that manor fic she is working on currently š So if you don't know her work, go check it out!
Anyway, I'm gonna have a lot of work from now on, so... Merry Christmas (or anything else you guys celebrate), everyone!
