Hey all, I will be doing a donation drive for United24, a charity helping Ukraine where you can choose which par of Ukraine's efforts you wish to donate to. Top donor will receive a full character illustration for free, and among all donors I will raffle out a speedpaint.

To join, just head to https://u24.gov.ua , click the donate button in the top right corner, and once you have donated, please send me your receipt and any proofs of your donation in a direct message. This campaign will run till 10th of April, so please be generous and help folks in need.

Update: The donation drive has concluded, we managed to raise a total of 1769,42 USD! Thank you so much to everyone who donated, that is a big chunk of cash we all came together to raise for this good cause. As mentioned before, everyone who donated has priority in the next commission opening and more importantly here are the two winners!

The top donor to whom the full character illustration goes to, Jubatian on fA who donated an incredibly generous 450 USD

And the speedpaint raffle goes to....Vyruem on fA as well, there were a total of 19 donors, so I simply rolled a D20 to see who got this one

Thanks again all, it was nice :

I have seen many articles and presentations about starting an art career, but not too many about the middle section. So here's a presentation for those who have already got their art chops about them and are now looking to get commissions. This presentation is less about art, but more about everything that surrounds it, you know, the boring bits which we all have to unfortunately deal with : https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rXd2V_kQyB4NipxxZEU8zvyU2IcDujuR6HJw7hFi5i8/edit?usp=sharing

Heyo! I held a lecture yesterday about character design and I now have translated my presentation in English so y'all can enjoy it too :) I added some more text in it as well, so it is easier to comprehend. You can read through the presentation here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10rcHSMeN54DjIa2YRv66HFYiEQsmWuN5fEOUZjandrQ/edit?usp=sharing

How does one go from a sketch to a finished illustration? Here is a free art book containing 176 images that detail different parts of my art process. It is free, so check it out and I hope you gain some insight too :)
