Aleksi Gray ✨ working on that novelさんのイラストまとめ

I took the first day off but I'm queer every day of the year 💖✨ I draw a lot of queer fantasy stuff most days, too.

Been quiet -- focusing on freelance, non-art stuff, and also trying to rest (elbow issues), so here's some Spidersilk stuff I love 💖✨

Very recently I got into 3D assets from Clip Studio and uh, there's a rapier. Am I going to use it when I can? Absolutely. Will I still use my ref packs? Yes. I feel it (personally) worthwhile to understand how to draw things. But assets like this are just tools.

Some talk about learning. This was the first time I drew a rapier...

Just posted a 1500 word excerpt for my novel WIP! Last month, I posted from chapter 1 (Laibrook). Now let's meet Einar in chapter 2!

Those CSP models are hard at work again. I realized I can change the body types! Sohrab has a very different frame than Prentice so this is nice. I usually just adjust it myself afterward but why not? The tool exists, I'll use it.

First, I do a loose trace for angles mostly ^^

I like drawing new flowers each time I draw these, so they take me longer than usual BUT I love drawing new flowers 😭 I think I've improved!

Done! Here's the clothes version 🌼🪷🌷✨

I'm new at the CSP models but I can't help but feel I messed up my settings? It'd be SO MUCH EASIER to use the first image to reference when I draw, not the second. But when I click off that layer, immediate screentone dude.

Looking back through my Spidersilk art... Prentice glow-up from 2011 to 2021
