Who wants to see all the creative stuff I do when I'm not watching anime?

[Anj]

The second picture I did at my mum's, with alcohol markers (mixture of Sharpies and cheap double-enders from a Chinese brand selling on Amazon), was considering doing a blue and green background but it's a lot of effort and I think it looks nice as is

I absolutely LOVE this! I would have that as bedding or curtains or both.

Thankyou! Smiley rainbow caterpillar blesses all your endeavors

(It's always nice when people want my art on their clothes/furnishings/etc.)

Poem 25 2024

For the longest time, I believed
That I was supposed to hate myself
And that self-love was unreasonably self-centered
As I grow older
I see beauty where I once saw ugliness, when I look in the mirror, or down at my thighs and tummy
I see that I am good
I am a flower that will bloom for many years to come
Not everyone gets to grow old
I am not wilting
I want to be the feeling of joy that I am filled with when I’m with you
My happiness and love radiating from within my heart and soul
Beaming from my face as I smile and giggle and jump and wrap my arms around you
Once again like a child
In some small way
That is beauty
That is my loveliness
May I live a long life
May I live it well
On my own terms
Writing my own story
In pastel rainbow inks

Finished today, I know it's prob not technically how you're supposed to use them but I love overpumping the nibs on the Tooli-Art markers to make them bleed then smearing the acrylic paint/ink around on the paper and making fingerprints etc. XP

You have such an eye for this RadFem, they're the kind of pictures I can look at for ages and keep seeing new things in there

Thankyou so much, I appreciate both your praise itself and that it's specific about what you like about my art (DGMW just a "these are awesome" or smth like that is received with joy and gratitude, but I enjoy hearing more detailed observations on what someone sees in my work too!)

 

[Anj]

Thank you for sharing your creativity with us, it makes me smile

I was considering adding more to this, but I think it's a lovely finished piece in it's own right, and have decided to leave it as is

Ah a beautiful toucan! I love the shading on him especially and it makes him stand out against the foliage

Ah a beautiful toucan! I love the shading on him especially and it makes him stand out against the foliage

Thankyou! I did use the alcohol marker blender pen to do a lil teeny bit of gradient work on this piece, the black is all meant to be the toucan's feathers rather than shadows but I think I get what you mean about shading

I used copic atyou spica glitter markers for the flower in the picture below rather than gel pens, but the fish are all done with gel pens

I feel like this one is a lil questionable in quality lol, but it is bright and cheerful, mostly done with Arrtx Acrylic Paint Markers and a few other pens, in my surprisingly resilient "Just a Girl Who Loves Anime Sketchbook" that was purchased for me by Friend C a year or two ago

Stayed up late working on this cuz it's great to stay up late good morning good morning to you

In all seriousness, I wanted to stay up late working on art, rather than scrolling online shopping websites or social media feeds, for a change... so I did

This one uses oil pastels, acrylic paint, coloured pencil and glitter glue (plus a bit of gold liquid metal paint) on black card

Edit: Added an additional photo so everyone can see the details on the white and silver dove in the middle

Poem 27 2024

Perhaps there is no hope without despair
But I can’t help but feel
That there is entirely too much despair in the world
We can probably always find reasons to dislike ourselves
If we look for them
But as it is cruel to put an ant under a magnifying glass
And burn it with the sun’s light
We were not meant or made to constantly pick at ourselves
Under a microscope
I pray that you will see the good in yourself
I hope deeply for that
Look for it and find it
I doubt that it is impossible to find
But may you see your goodness enlarged up close
As greatly as your flaws
Life is everything
Love is everything
Don’t look back too much or you’ll burn
In the torment of regret
No ghastly afterlife awaits
Be kind to yourself in this one
You don’t owe the world your world
In some beauty of subjectivity
And gentle correction
For our insanity
We find peace inside ourselves
May you feel joy today
