You are not a ghost haunting yourself

#really love the blue of dusk #i grew up in the shadow a hill (when the sun set) #so this kind of lighting feels like home #this was really a random painting specifically to try out kyle's past 6 or so brush sets #because i didn't realize he just keeps churning out new one's each season?? #what a legend #big big fan of his work #this opens so many possibilities again #and i added a little river because my friend inspired to revisit my water brushes #doing similar projects as your friends is my favorite type of parallel play #dnd #camp #long rest #binging bad omens with this one #could not listen to anything else #phier #thefailureartist #scenery #landscape painting #digital art #digital painting #blue hour #mountain landscape #mountain plain

#digital painting #digital art #artists on tumblr #portrait #self portrait #i really really like lilac #what can i say #i can not for the life of me remember what i was listening to while painting this #which is weird because i do not paint in silence #and always remember #it's so odd #phier #thefailureartist #wasn't happy with the sloppy one i did in november so gave it another go #glad i did!

Participated in my first ever game jam and it was great! It was for the Historically Accurate Game Jam 8, and the theme was assassinations! My team and I created a Visual Novel about a certain famous murder during the rule of Mary Queen of Scots. Check it out!

#deadly whispers #game jam #this was a very intense but also great experience #im proud of how it came out! #we only had ten days #hag8 #historically accurate game jam #renaissance clothing is hell to paint #i hate ruffles now #phier #thefailureartist #illustration #game art #visual novel #mary queen of scors #david rizzio #henry stuart #patrick ruthven #william maitland

BREACH

#playing with my new toy (after effects) #seemed like a good opportunity to add some glitter! #this entire piece was really just me fucking around and finding out #no plan whatsoever #really it just started as me testing smudge brushes #and kinda escalated from there #didn't think it would turn out this intricate but here we are #just trying to play around with all my tools and diversify my skill set while also having fun #getting more experimental with my art again #at least my personal art #dragon age inquisition #dai #dragon age #dragon age fanart #qunari #qunari inquisitor #inquisitor #da:i #maybe gonna post the unanimated piece later #phier #thefailureartist

Last summer I woke up with this super picturesque image in my mind and I've been trying over and over again to capture it since then. I've given up on both of these for long enough that I'd probably want to start from scratch if I really did want to make a nice painting with it. Still, I do like the colors and how close I got to what I saw in my dream with these sketches.

Another short animation test inspired by Sleep Token's music. Keeping it very simple this time.

#sleep token #animation #motion design #at this point im just playing around with my pieces as if they were toys #switching between photoshop and aftereffects and even blender with absolutely no plan #kinda just a kid throwing digital paint at the wall so to speak #it's fun #it's a very welcome change of pace #even though nothing “new” really comes out of it #very self indulgent but im learning alot #phier #thefailureartist #hypnosis

Butchered my painting to practice some motion design.

Song: Take Me Back To Eden - Sleep Token

#sleep token #motion design #animation #phier #tmbte #take me back to eden #amazing how many time i've listened to this song specifically and vessel's voice still gets to me #its sooooo good #this song will haunt me forever i think #thefailureartist #Vimeo #Youtube

HYPNOSIS

#kinda playing around with stuff #trying to just work with the energy and inspirations i have #big pieces are a struggle for me again #i rarely have the patience for them #sleep token #hypnosis #little idea i had for a painting that turned into a mock single cover #finished not perfect #amirite #this place will become your tomb #tpwbyt #sleep token fanart #artists on tumblr #phier #thefailureartist #sleep token band

Woke up at 4 am with a start and finally remembered where my favorite smudge brushes were hidden.

(Photostudy)

#it was such a weird experience #but im so relieved #i knew i had some saved smudge presets somewhere but forgot where #and not i finally got to play with them again #been feeling really down creatively so im back to doing studies #phier #thefailureartist #artists on tumblr #portrait

Character design experiment I did with @tehsammutna 's OC, Maryan! Thanks for your patience! :)

Super self-indulgent piece I did for my art trade with @witchtrix! I was really inspired by her OC Illythica, who is a Hexblood Shadow Mage Centaur. How could you not love a gorgeous and intimidating pastel goth unicorn lady??

#i went a little wild #i hope that's ok #i also have an backgroundless png ready for you if you want it #illythica #shadow mage #dnd oc #oc #witchtrix #art trade #phier #thefailureartist #unicorn #centaur #hexblood

And I don't know what's got it's teeth in me, but I'm about to fight back in anger!

#sleep token #tmbte #take me back to eden #sleep token fanart #ive been wanting to paint something based on that line for literal months #took me a while to figure out something that worked in terms of emotion and intensity #i know it's bite back and not fight back please dont at me- im dumb and never actually checked the lyrics until it was too late #i'm borderline obsessed with sleep token's music #it just really connects in a fundamental way #i'd even go as far as to say it's shaped me in some small way #take me back to eden in particular #only fitting that i would return the favor by paying homage to the titular song #phier #thefailureartist #digital art #nsfw #tw blood #tw mild gore #tw nudity #here's to not giving up hope #even if you can't immediately see what's hurting you #and here's to facing the blood and having the courage to not despair #stay vigilant #and fight back when the opportunity arises #im so emotional when it comes to sleep token i could write books but um #these tags are already overboard

For Self Portrait Day. Started strong but it got away from me at some point and I don't think I have the patience or energy to get back into it, I've got bigger projects in the works that I'm way more excited about, which I want to save my creative energy for.

I do kinda like the roughness of it of it; I feel like it properly reflects where I'm at mentally and in life in general.
