If anyone is interested, I've been more active on Bluesky!
Instead of fighting new interests, what if I embraced them?
My latest drawing fascination has been funky organic shapes. I need to figure out a way to incorporate them into my "typical" art (weird landscapes? flora? creature details?)

It would be fun to visually compare what others have assumed my art influences are vs. my actual inspirations.
It could've stemmed from my fascination with parasitic worms, but I know that wasn't the reason why I started drawing them.
Realistically, Doppel could've been the reason, especially when I was trying to figure out how to draw her "worm" innards; but I don't think that's it either?
I wish I could remember when exactly my obsession with worms started, but it's honestly hard to recall.

Sharing sketchbook art would be nice for low pressure posts, but I don’t know if posting it would clash too much with my more “official” digital style.
how does your linework have that rough, inky quality to the edges even though it's digital? How do you do it?
The distressed edges of my line art are from the brush I use! It's the Bold Engraver Single from True Grit Texture Supply's Rusty Nib pack (specifically the Procreate version).
I did make some minor adjustments to the grain settings to amp up its texture, but this brush is what gives my lines a roughened look!

It's been fun going back through my art from 2020 because I can tell that year was definitely when I started leaning more into relief prints as a source of inspiration.
I love ominous as a descriptor for my art because I absolutely love horror, but it can be a struggle translating it into my cutesier style (at least, in my opinion); so having it be ominous is a good compromise.
Once again, I truly do love the divide of folks who view my art as either "comforting and nostalgic" or "ominous and mysterious"
If anyone is interested, I'm also on Cara
