closed for now!

thanks everyone who tossed some money at me, either in exchange for a sketch or just to help out! savin my ass lmao

hi, I'm broke

donate £15 to the "keeping my lights on" cause and I'll sketch your funky little guy

aka the cost of living is crisising and i hate asking for money without offering something in return

payment via ko-fi donation (5x ko-fis = 1 sketch) due upfront upon me saying "yeah I'll draw that guy"

limited revisions/detail - they're just little sketches I'm hoping to be able to do pretty quickly (of course if I draw your character completely wrong, I'll amend it)

visual references required

3 slots, any more than that and I will crumble and die the pressure will kill me

+1 ko-fi (£3) for facial tattooing/scarring

no clothing/accessories, just simple bust headshots

I may not start working on them immediately. I do have a cold and it's kicking my ass, I just also would like to have money to live.

ko-fi here

DM me here or on discord with your refs and a colour for the gradient. First-come-first served.

#this announcement is slightly late because i had to go out :')

#this is e-begging in disguise #i hate doing ''payment upfront'' but i live in a topsy turvy country where electricity is pay as you go #and if that runs out i can't even offer sketches in return #so it's gotta be upfront. the thing i hate.

finally finished a Killian redraw, it's been 84 years... earlier renditions under the cut

#c: killian #what's my art tag again? #2018 me could never have dreamed of this lmao #one day i'll learn to draw sci-fi armour so she can actually look like a mass effect oc lmao

[ilmhist]

I would not change it each time Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I

Commissioned the incomparable @sunshinemage to draw Halsin and Fiadh recently and I am simply on the floor - I'm never recovering they look incredible thank you so much Rory ♥♥

#c: fi #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 tav #bg3 halsin #I'll probably be less coherent when i reblog this to the personal blog but GOD #the lighting! fi's nose! halsin's lil bushy eyebrows augh i'm obsessed i'm in love #others' art

[ilmhist]

2024 goal: learn to draw hands, dammit

#sketches #they're really hard xdgjdfg #trying the ''post more studies to tumblr'' thing too so my art blog's less dead and i'm less perfectionistic about what goes up here? #we'll see how that goes

[ilmhist]

I never did put the coloured sketch of her here did I

#c: emyr #i got distracted before i really got her rendered lmao #and i just have not been back to remedy the bits that are still rough #but i wanna get her a slot on my oc page and that means having an image hosted somewhere to link to so sure #i know her ear is a blob i didn't get that far before i switched tracks dsfgg #what's my art tag again?

[ilmhist]

same template I used for the first art summary thing because. it was there and I don't wanna look for another. I didn't even properly edit the year. sod it lmao. I have less missing months than I expected from this year, which is kind of a surprise? a lot of wips and unfinished pieces and abandoned sketches though, you win some you lose some i guess.

#art summary #look i committed to doing these yearly so i can look back over them and i'm. i'm sticking to it. #even though i'm not impressed with myself this year at all.

[ilmhist]

sketching up a new character so I can play bg1 without using a default portrait and i have some good news for anyone who likes women: she's hot

#yes i use picrews for initial concepts very often AND WHAT #i might not even like the earlier bg games i have a... rocky past... with crpgs #but i want to nose around at the lore and the recurring characters and stuff i wanna at least try #anyway i've already started the actual painting part but i'm also just very fond of the sketch so look pls #sketch tag

[ilmhist]

.

#forgot to say but new personal bllog dropped i remade #its @nicnevans #mostly queue-based but i needed somewhere to drop pics of my little bg3 guys so #the theme's a bit broken but i like it so i don't care

[ilmhist]

some adventures in hard-edged brushes and more painterly approaches from the start of inktober. I did not finish inktober :') but I do like how these came out. Absolutely must paint more drinks sometime

#what's my art tag again? #i said i was going to paint a coffee to go with them but. time keeps passing :') so i'm just posting them #they kind of work well as a pair anyway #light background/blue cup & dark background/red cup #idk

[ilmhist]

(decided i don't want sadposting on my art blog, sorry to anyone who came here for art and got a small window into me being very sad. art may resume at some point. i have some cute paintings of drinks i think i'd like to share, but i wanna get a third done first so it's like a little set)

[ilmhist]

This is def been done by now. But not by me!

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #c: fi #halsin #what's my art tag again? #i refuse to spend any more time on this lol

[ilmhist]

halsin beloved how does your face work 🤔

#bg3 #sometimes sharing messy unpresentable sketches on main is fun actually #i mean? it takes the pressure off next time i post something serious LMAO #anyway hi i'm currently obsessed with this man #don't look too closely at the tattoos i um. forgot what they look like. i have aphantasia and i'm too lazy to search for refs don't @ me lo #anyway i had a horrid day and this is how i cheered myself up thank u for ur time #what's my art tag again?

[ilmhist]

some fiadhs, because much like the tadpole he now lives in my brain rent free

#bg3 #bg3 tav #c: fi #don't @ me about the bowing angle i had to make an executive decision and the decision i made #was based on what would make my life easiest #bc i didn't wanna draw the full violin and the hands and the augh and the ough and the time investment #these sketches are literally all about the vibes okay #but i actually unironically do love the smiley one i think that's possibly the cutest expression sketch i've ever sketched #in hindsight his hair coulda been a little longer in that one but i'm not editing it now! #what's my art tag again?

[ilmhist]

It is bg3 day and i have nothing to show for it so please consider this wip of my baby, which i definitely planned to have finished by now but have been procrastinating.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 oc #it's bg3 day and i'm excited but also sad i never finished this portrait #i tried so hard and got so far but in the end #i got artblock LMAO #maybe one day... #c: thrift #she's like 85% done and it's Quite Galling to not have finished her tbh but it is what it is #tiefling #what's my art tag again?
