Hello! I’m 24 year old, self-taught digital artist from Australia.

I’m chronically ill (and hating it), and a member of the queer community.

If my disability or sexuality offends you, then you are more than welcome to leave. This is not the space for bigotry of any kind, thank you 🩷

Thank you for stopping by, please give my art some love if you like it, as I work very hard to create it <3 With the rise in AI generated media in artistic spaces, may you find respite among the many tiny mistakes in my art that show that a human did, in fact, draw it 😌 (and likely wept during the process).

Notes:

I was going by the username “PinkSockLlama”, hence the old watermarks on my work. I also used to go by Shezzaart in some spaces, but that was around 2019 and the username has since been taken by someone else, I believe.

The first one was from February of this year, the second from this October. I've been refining this particular art style since October-ish last year, and it's only gotten better and better with practise.

I know it's hard when you're starting out, your art doesn't "look like everyone else's", and you start to wonder if you'll ever get to the point everyone else seems to be at where you've found your style and are happy with what you create. Truth be told, I nearly gave up on the re-draw of this because, even now (after over a decade of creating), I still have to refine my art over and over during the process to make it look the way it does—I'm constantly adjusting things over the course of creating. And you know, that's okay. I always thought The Process(TM) had to be neat and tidy, since I see so many artists who manage better than I do (with less mucking around), or that I had to learn from the greats and go to art school instead of teaching myself, but this is my process, and it's okay that it's messy as hell and that I'm choosing to learn this my own way. It works for me.
