yippee! smut!
Added 2024-05-09 21:51:46 +0000 UTCi said i would not do hl fan art until i finshed vs (which im working very hard on) but, i've had some irl frustrations and felt like taking it out in something indulgent.
the latest news on state of gaming/tech industry jobs has got me feeling extremely down. Being a barista at 28, with only mod dev exp on my belt and junior jobs non existent, potential job in the game or animation industry feels further away. i am far from pessimistic in my views but this has been an all time low for me. it's bleak out there, and i'm afraid it's only going to get worse. i can only hope this bubble pops in a few years. so i came home from my day job and finished this valhoun idea i've had for a little while now. the most i can do is keep working on my portfolio and draw from a place of fulfillment and satisfaction.
but about the drawing: heres the sketch as well as the og ink before i decided to crop it. lately, evoking feeling has been at the forefront of my mind.. i really tried to focus on feeling and design here, something i feel i lacked a bit in my more suggestive stuff. i always try to push my shapes but i think i was maybe thinking about it the wrong way. why am i pushing shapes? well, to make a more appealing design of course, but i kind of left feeling to the side.
somehow I end up trying these new ideas and ways of thinking with nsfw art.why am i doing this with smut? idk for some reason, porn leads to innovation and experimentation, haha. it's this whole other playground to try things out.
