#artists on tumblr#visiting finland again#went on a long forest hike today#off road just full on climbing on cliffs and using trees to get up some paths#i always feel a bit paranoid about running into bears or something#but otherwise i love forests#nothing like the peace and quiet of an untouched forest#walked around a lake so it was easy not to get lost#as long as you see water you know where you are
Joined Cara as well ✨Very much tired of new social medias and accounts, but the plagiarism algorithm situation is getting dire and I can't pass up on a site that promises not to feed into it...
Hi Io - I love your illustrations and the emotion they evoke. I also really enjoy your color choices. Do you do illustration work professionally?
I wondered if you could offer a piece of advice to someone just starting out on doing commissions. I noticed that your link for commissions goes to a different page. Is this done through Tumblr, or is it a separate domain? Would you mind explaining how you decided on pricing?
Thank you!
Hi, thank you :)
Yes, I'm a full time freelance illustrator for a few years now. My commission page here is quite outdated, completely forgot about it actually so thanks for the remainder to take a look at it...
#if you end up not liking it#and find it takes away the joy of art#that is entirely valid#anyone that makes art is an artist#professionals and hobbyists alike#so never feel pressured to monetize what you don't want to#but it really is wonderful to draw people's dear characters#and passion projects#and work together to bring their visions to life#so definitely give it a try!

#artists on tumblr#my friend let me use a really gorgeous photo they took#it made my brain go brrr#and i had to draw this#i usually take my own reference pics so it was cool to work from someone else's#enjoyed drawing this a lot#despite the subject matter#i saw a pretty scene of a narrow alley#with white stairs stained black from people walking on them#and somehow it took my brain here#grief visits every house
it's you, after all
#artists on tumblr#rainweaver#i never draw these two but they've been living in my brain for over a decade#the lady is called Lacuna#and her variably human bf is called Mirha#she's a certified monster smoocher#when and where and how will i find the time to make this webcomic finally#rainweaver has been marinading in my head since i was 16#i'm almost 30#how does one make a webcomic in this economy
That manual boop 403-418 did was a good idea! During the whole fiasco there were also "Super Boops" & "Evil Boops". Just pretend these are cat paws :P
I love this... I will gladly take the bird foot boops. Possibly a bit sharp but well worth the risk.
Since you missed the whole booping business, here, let me do that manually. Have a nice day!

Thank you for the manual boop ;_;
What is this "boop" that people are talking about, what did I miss now? :')
#artists on tumblr#the horrors are neverending#by horrors i mean waking up early and going to work#even though i currently work from home#i remember alarms going off at 7am like it was yesterday#waking up early when it's pitch black outside and going out into the cold is torture#every day i dread the day i have a 7am alarm again#you never really escape it unless you're crazy rich#the horrors persist and always lurk behind the corner#can we make working from home the norm...

#artists on tumblr#gonna be real i want to draw more raw things#but with the ever changing rules everywhere i have no idea what's allowed where#i want to draw b l o o d and bare bodies but where do i not get nuked for that#maybe i need to make a little separate side account somewhere#where i can be as unhinged as i want
fishbone corset
#artists on tumblr#i like creepy fish#i should be finally getting some health related answers in march#a little nervous since i've never been under anesthesia#but it's something i can't escape forever#hopefully can get it over with and enjoy summer#unlike last year where i spent most of it sick#bodies are so stupid
So BlueSky is now open for all without invitation... I'm there too, same name, come chill :') It's very comfy so far, hopefully stays that way for as long as possible.
#tungler is still my fave#but the twitter disaster showed that spreading out is important#i'm on insta too but only log in to post#social medias are exhausting i like this comfy corner here#where i can post art and have a neat tidy gallery#while also getting to be unhinged in the tags#nowhere else will people tell me that my art ate their skeleton
Maiden of Light
#artists on tumblr#i'm so ready to be over winter#spring and warm weather can't come soon enough#my mood is directly linked to the temperature#so i'm trying to cope by channeling my nordic roots#lucia maiden is a cool bit of culture that i always liked as a kid#the whole school would be standing along the long hallway#in the dark#holding candles#while the one chosen as lucia would walk through it with a wreath and candles on her head and we all sing the Sankta Lucia song#i'm not religious but#the VIBES#were immaculate
