I want to say that I absolutely admire how disciplined you are when it comes to creating art as is evident by how short your turnaround time is for your commissioned pieces! It's absolutely mind blowing! 🧿 Do you have any advice for artists to be half as disciplined as you are? How are you able to finish such beautifully rendered pieces in such record times please teach us your ways senpai! *could've asked privately in discord but I thought any pointers can help other struggling artists too ;3;
Oh, dang! First of all, thank you for the glowing compliment, dear friend!
As for the advice....I truly don’t know if it will be a helpful one.
To be perfectly honest, I lost almost a decade of possible artistic progress to depression, crippling self-doubt and fear.
The thing that helped me to take a first step and leave this hole full of nothingness, was to find something that will truly inspire me and make my imagination wheels turn. Fantasy art was just the thing. Seeing works of mind-blowingly talented artists like you and our mutual friends, helped me form a set of goals I wanted to achieve both in terms of technical skill and also in themes i wanted to explore in my artwork.
And skipping a year to present day...well, other then a strong desire to catch up on the years lost and a constant stream of ideas my feverish brain produces, I’m mostly propelled forward by utter desperation. Because either I get good at this one thing that truly excites me in life and make it my profession, or I will never be able to stand tall and be financially independent. There’s only one way for me and it’s up. So Lethy is working her ass off to both improve her skills, build a good portfolio of works and hopefully make art her profession :D
As for small daily schedule tips. It’s the usual - set a balanced schedule for yourself (doubly important during quarantine), take regular breaks, take care of your health; regularly switch attention to other activities that restore your creative resources.
I’m sorry if this isn’t of much help, but I couldn’t get around this being just a brutally honest answer.
Hugs!

The vast majority of people sadly won't care about this since their only knowledge of the witcher comes from the video game. Book geralt and jaskier they don't know & as a result will be fine with the portrayal. I suppose only those who've read the books will notice this and be bothered by it.
Yeah, I have noticed that a lot of people who haven’t read the books, but loved the games really like Jaskier’s role, which is understandable if they’ve only ever known Jaskier as shallow comedic relief. I’m glad they’re enjoying him, at least! But man... I’m so sad book fans just get a one note buffoon that Geralt seems to barely tolerate again.
Hey Zephh! I found your blog through tumblr suggested posts and I'm so glad I checked it out! I went through pages of your art and I'm still not done. You have an incredible way with colors and composition. Great texture to your art, love the effects you use and your color palettes. I feel very inspired by your art! Also, I checked your bio, it says you draw gore & body horror. Can you please tell me the tag for it so I can add it to my list? That would be super helpful for me.
thank u so much thats very kind!!
as far as tags go #gore & #body horror should cover it (and #injury & #blood should catch lighter stuff)

I sadly recognize only 4 ;3; but that last one though... good god, i miss gackt so much! it's been years!!! What's that from? I want to see it so bad akjfakdjhflkajdf Thank you so much for doing this! <333
I miss Gackt too...I lost interest around the time of YFC, but I still listen to his old stuff sometimes. This is from Bunraku, which almost no one has heard of, but there are a ton of recognizable actors in it! It’s a very strange movie but I love it.
If anyone wants to know the rest...
@kourvo my reply is a bit too long so I gotta make a new post for it.
The new battlefield will be to have the government take back the 'riot' claim. They tried to say the protest was a riot and charge people with rioting, which could face up to 10 years in prison. After the 2nd mass protest they tried to say only 5 are rioters while the majority was peaceful and not a riot, which is another bullshit. By definition of the law in HK, there won't be a regional riot. So either you have a riot = all of them are rioters (which is ten of thousands of people at the time) or no riot = no rioters. So we are now demanding them to take that claim back and promise not to go after the protesters one by one as they've did it after the umbrella movement.
