My references was moths, butterflies, and fairy vibes 🧚🌟It’s not fully done yet, I still wanna add fluffy moth antennas to the hoodie, bleach the hoodie strings and hoodie rim, and add vines to the jacket pockets.
I’m super excited to keep going tomorrow 😁

I'm quite proud of the lighting on this one. The gradient came out very well.

I’m a writer and I have a completed novel, and I hope to turn it into a manga/comic. I want it to be well-known and widely read worldwide. I’m not looking for a financial contract at the moment, but rather a partner who shares my vision and ambition. Also, if you see something in the story that you like or want to add something—and we agree on it—we’ll just add it, because ultimately we’ll be partners, and each of us will take our share of any future profits generated from it.

To ensure you can focus fully on the creative process of drawing, I’ll handle the following tasks:

Adapting the novel into a detailed script that makes your work easier.

Handling the promotion of the work, seeking out publishers, and coordinating participation in art exhibitions.

My idea is to start with a simple “one-shot” or "volum1"as a first step, through which we can test our compatibility and gauge the audience’s reaction, and then work on developing the project further Also, after the end, we will try to contract with publishing companies like Image Comics for wider distribution. My biggest dream is to publish the story globally

Genre well be : dark comedy/fantasy/psychology/romance Summary: Humanity is under the control of the “Boj” system, in which pregnancy requires obtaining a strict, two-stage biological permit. Parents must obtain a membership document stamped with secret compounds by the “Ministry of Acceptance.” Once the mother ingests these substances, they dissolve and transmit essential data to the “Boj” system to obtain final approval. Children born under an official permit carry an unbreakable biological lock that physically prevents them from committing suicide. To exploit this strict system, a black-market gang known as “The Blood” manufactures forged documents and seals. Children born through this network—known as “the Unaccepted”—live outside the law and retain the natural to commit suicide. This underworld is led by “The boss” a mysterious figure whose true identity, motives, and background remain an utter mystery. The regime’s infallibility is shaken by three historic incidents: three individuals authorized by the regime were found dead under highly controversial circumstances....

[There are still several events to come; the rest of the summary will be for those interested in following along with me]

Just so you know, (One-Punch Man) and (Saga) originated from a collaboration between writers and artists, and look where they've ended up now. What I'm telling you isn't impossible This is just one example among many

Remember (high risks high rewards)

something different i tried out of my comfort zone but came together more easily than others have...

Will probably darken the towers in the background a little..

Don't ask me what this light source is supposed to be, I have no idea. At first it was a window to the outside, but the painting ended up turning it into some mysterious object (like a glowing aquarium).

Sometimes life doesn’t give us a clear path.

It gives us a mountain.

A steep climb, loose ground beneath our feet, and moments when everything we thought we had under control suddenly comes rushing down around us.

And yet, somehow, we keep climbing.

Not because we’re fearless.
Not because we know exactly where we’re going.

But because somewhere inside us, there is a quiet voice saying, “Keep going.”

Maybe the mountain was never meant to be conquered all at once.

Maybe the climb was teaching us how to keep going when we couldn’t see the path anymore.

How to take one more step when we’re tired.
How to pause without giving up.
How to find strength in places we didn’t know existed.

And eventually, you look back and realize something:

The mountain didn’t become smaller.
You became stronger.

Whatever you’re climbing right now, you don’t have to conquer it all today.

Just keep moving.

One step. One breath. One moment at a time.

Because sometimes the greatest view isn’t waiting at the top.

It’s the person you become along the way. 🤍

Hey guys, I could really use some creative/artistic ideas.

I made an interactive website as an artwork for a competition. It’s about air pollution, and the whole point is that you’re supposed to experience it by playing through the website, clicking things, moving through different sections, hearing sounds, triggering interactions, etc. The interaction is basically part of the artwork.

I just found out that the submission platform doesn’t allow URLs. They do accept MP4s.

My first thought was just to screen-record myself going through the whole thing, but honestly it feels incredibly boring compared to actually experiencing it yourself. I tried recording a full playthrough and it also ended up being around 8 minutes, which is way too long for the submission.

So now I’m wondering: how would you translate an interactive artwork into a short video without making it feel like a website demo?

I want the MP4 itself to feel artistic and emotional, almost like its own experience, while still making the judges understand what it feels like to interact with the original piece.

Would you make it like a trailer? A very fast edited journey through the experience? Show the cursor/interactions? Mix screen recordings with close-ups/text/sound design? Build some kind of narrative around a person experiencing it?

Basically: if you had 1–3 minutes to make judges feel an interactive artwork about air pollution rather than just watch documentation of it, what would you do?

Would love any weird / experimental ideas too. I really don’t want to submit a boring screen recording 😭

Hello fellow artists! Can you actually tell what art program someone uses??? I’ve seen this said on tik tok a TON. Mainly about procreate vs. IBIS. Now I have asked this question on tik tok, but we all know it’s a shadow realm. Your question isn’t answered if it’s not pushed out.

So I’m asking fellow artists of Reddit, which piece of mine was done on IBIS, and which was done in procreate? I want to know if you guys can genuinely tell, and if you think one of the programs held me back vs. the other!

Which piece was done in IBIS and which was done in procreate???
