What is the point of TikTok having a following tab if every other video is still someone I'm not following?

In other news, I'm now offering headshot/bust commissions in this style over on Artistree. Link is in the bio if anyone is interested.
Finished that WIP from yesterday!! Really proud of how it turned out. It was a little push and pull with the colors but I think everything came together really nicely.

Yesterday's WIP. Really liking this particular style and will definitely use it moving forward. This is my unnamed light goddess oc for a project I'm cooking up. #digitalpainting #digitalart #originalcharacter #fantasyart #fantasypainting #wip

First digital painting in a hot minute and tried out like 3 new techniques. It came out great and I'll definitely be using some of what I learned in my work from now on #digitalpainting #digitalart #selfportrait #fantasy

First time studying knees. Managed to get there with the first one, and then somehow forgot everything for the second.

Managed to paint this one all in one sitting. It took ALL DAY and definitely was not just supposed to be a sketch 🤫

I can't believe the perfume dance kinda worked. Against zoro of all people. I'm convinced the perfume is just so strong that it's disorienting
One Piece, even in context, is weird. I was doing laundry, so maybe I missed something, but I don't know what context could make this "perfume dance" normal.
Episode 65 for anyone wondering

There was also someone cosplaying Wilford Warfstache and I had to make him feel appreciated.
Went to see Iron Lung last night and I don't think my theater has ever had as many people there to see one movie like last night. I don't think a single person got up once it started and most of us sat through all of the credits.
Highly recommend.

Finally busted out the sketchbook again and drew this page. Thinking about adding color to it.
Fun fact, that is an actual hog skull that I have on my dresser.
