The Guardian of the Fields

good news

Old one

This is a sonadow house #art

Just gonna…give this without any context. #sonic #sonic3

Spoilers lol #stobotnik

Webcomic feature! 👀 An Orcish soldier finds herself in Fairmeadow, a commune of pacifists deep in the Cascadian wilderness. Isolation has brought them peace during a century-long war, but Goma’s arrival brings troubling reminders of the world outside... Read Fairmeadow at fairmeadowcomic.com!

#PortfolioDay ! I'm a traditional illustrator who's worked for a number of small press fantasy publications and TTRPG projects. I recently self-published a graphic novel featuring a kaiju in a sword-and-sorcery setting.

We have gotten two hours of sleep today folks 👍👍

Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.

It’s been…a really rough year. And being honest I’m struggling to summon any optimism going into 2025. Not just on a grand scale, but in the midst of my personal projects and personal health too. I’m still trying tho

just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! many also have dvds, cds, video games, internet hot spots, grindr hookup spots, chupacabras, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, skibidi toilets, gateways to the shadow realm, and so much more! maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚❤️📚❤️📚

Didn’t get to post this closer to Christmas because I was resting. Still trying to catch up a bit while taking care of myself, but this was a nice break. Really loved working on this when I had time. #illustration

#artvsartist #artvsartist2024 Almost didn’t believe that I had enough finished works from this year to use, but it’s a surprise and a relief to prove to myself I’ve accomplished more than I really thought.

If you see this, post something toothy! 🦷 (I only have sketches right now, so we’re lowering the pressure to have super refined, finished work.) #sketches

Deep ocean creatures

Shork fighter from 2019 🦈🧊

To me, nothing is funnier than this. Everything competes with scrunched up Kermit

I sketched some of the scientists in my horror comic right after finishing my thesis. Wanted to draw them having fun before sh/t hit the fan😅 #characterart

I wrote a guide for graphic novelists looking for agents on my blog for anyone interested! www.victoriaying.com/blog/2019/11...

I may have forgotten to mention here - I have a shop! I’m always updating designs and quality tested handfuls of the items. Threadless hasn’t done me wrong. You can find the link for it in my bio ✨

The desire to post work is so strong but…I have nothing finished :0 🫲 All I got is wips

This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

Ahead of the holiday shopping season I thought I’d make a Starter Pack of indie artist shops 💖 It’s been a tough year but at least we can choose to shop small & support artists! 😤🔥💪 go.bsky.app/T1hucKD

My goal as an artist is to make weird shit and be a freak.

Think I’ve officially decided I’m done with inktober for the month. I did make it like halfway-ish though! Pretty satisfied considering I thought I wouldn’t even stick to a week. Still got more to post too, I’m just gonna spend the remainder of the month inking what I have now.

#Inktober Day 8: Hike. Feels like a bit of a repeat prompt, so repeat character. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 7 is Passport. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 6 is Trek. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 5 is binoculars. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 4: Exotic. This is pretty much the same face I made when I first read the prompt. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 3: Boots. This one might be my favorite so far. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day 2 is Discover. Just trying to have fun with them. Think less about impressing anybody with my ideas and just focus on my own enjoyment. #Inktober2024

#Inktober Day #1 Backpack. Can’t promise this will keep up, but regardless it was fun. #Inktober2024

Like some form of torture, I’m once again considering trying inktober again this year. But also pairing it way, way down and only trying to draw things I could conceivably finish within the hour of my lunch break.

THE CARTOONIST COOPERATIVE IS PROUD TO PRESENT.... THE NIB & INK FEST! Coming your way in May 2025, NIF is a CO-OP members-run, online event featuring a marketplace to buy digital comics from members, free comic zines, panels, workshops, + more! nif.cartoonist.coop

I’ve been sick for well over a month now, just something that I found out can affect me long term (but thank god, not permanently). But it’s been so frustrating trying to take the time to actually heal and take care of myself.

My OC Lorne and their black flame magic 🖤

Ya ever just feel like all of the signs are pointing for you to give up on your dreams?

Feelin the big sad tonight

Closer detail on Sherman’s everyday outfit, primarily when they’re on the clock. Usually there’s one or two lab coats that go over it too. #characterdesign #originalcharacter

Treated myself to an outfit drawing challenge for Sherman ❤️ it was such a nice and kind of refreshing break from everything else going on right now. Also Sherman is one of my characters on #artfight this year! So I may be posting it up as one of their ref sheets. #characterdesign

I’m so stupid excited to go see Beatlejuice the musical tonight- I used my entire lunch break at work just to change and get ready. I was too nervous I might get coffee on my stripes shirt 😅

I've had this sitting in my drafts since I first got my hands on Clip Studio and was just beginning to learn all its features. I finally got it back out this afternoon and polished it up to finish! #characterart #storyart

Writing a not-so-brief story these days, where all I want is to get to the later chapters. Just so I can describe the character's cool clothes and sad disposition. #characterart #storyart
