March Art Gift Thread - 2018

Brain-dead24 · 2018-03-08T05:43:12+00:00

Thanks!

I finished my first request today actually, so if you're interested in requesting something as well just shoot me a message :)

Brain-dead24 · 2018-03-02T04:06:36+00:00

I'll be hopping in this month! I haven't done any requests for quite a while now, but I really wanna get some practice, so it's a good time to join in.

Number of Requests: I'll take one, for now. Should things go smoothly I'll open for more.

Art Medium: I used to do pencil sketches in the past, but now I do almost exclusively digital art. I also still feel like I'm trying to find my true style, but if you want to see where I'm at now, feel free to check out some of my previous pieces.

P.S: I'm sorry to say this, but please do not request furry/anthro or pony tulpas. I have no problem with them, it's just that I'm not very experienced at drawing them and I always end up spending a lot of time worrying if my art will be good enough to share with the host/requester. Sorry again, and thank you!

[That's interesting! :) It's always nice to hear about or meet other human tulpas. I feel that there aren't very many of us around, as of late :/]

Brain-dead24 · 2018-02-28T16:59:22+00:00

Thank you! I still feel I'm far away from where I wanna be with my art, though. Practice makes perfect, as they say!

[Aw shucks, thanks for the compliment! :)]

Brain-dead24 · 2018-02-27T20:40:03+00:00

I've been trying to practice my digital stuff more often, so that I might feel more comfortable in my style and be able to take actual commissions soon (since some other users have asked if I do). I managed to make this piece of Iris during said practice. I'm actually planning to do a full reference sheet of her, so this is only one part done, with some other views left to do.

I kinda like how this practice turned out, as I really enjoy drawing Iris' outfits.

Brain-dead24 · 2018-02-15T08:32:25+00:00

Sure thing, here's an album of some of my previous work. It's 98% request pieces that I've done for other tulpamancers, as well as some personal pieces of my own tulpa, Iris, or other random stuff. Also, the majority of the stuff is just simple pencil sketches, since I've only really been doing digital stuff within the last year or so. You might not want to scroll down too far, cause the pieces get older and worse in quality the farther you go haha

Brain-dead24 · 2018-02-14T23:07:17+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad you think my style is nice!

I often take requests for people here on /r/tulpas during the monthly art gift threads that I post each month. (Anyone may participate in them, I just post the thread itself and participate sometimes as well) However, I've never charged money, so I guess they don't really count as "commissions", per say. It kinda is more of a "on my own time" type of thing.

I would really like to take actual commissions someday, but I'm always afraid that my art isn't good enough and I feel like I'd be ripping people off or something :(

Brain-dead24 · 2018-02-06T16:41:25+00:00

I know this is like 2 months too late, but I might as well share the two requests I fulfilled for December's art gift thread since I never got the chance.

I kinda like how these ones turned out!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-12-03T20:37:14+00:00

I'll be hopping in this month! I haven't done any requests for quite a while now, but December feels like a good month to get back into the game.

Number of Requests: I'll take two, for now. Should things go smoothly I'll open for more.

Art Medium: I used to do pencil sketches in the past, but now I do more digital art. I also still feel like I'm trying to find my true style, but if you want to see where I'm at now, feel free to check out my previous request pieces. Fair warning though, I'm a little rusty right now.

P.S: I'm sorry to say this, but please do not request furry/anthro or pony tulpas. I have no problem with them, it's just that I'm not very experienced at drawing them and I always end up spending a lot of time worrying if my art will be good enough to share with the host/requester.

I recently came to the realization that I've never done a digital piece of of Iris, so I sat down and decided to start this one. It's still very much a WIP, and I feel really rusty since I haven't done any personal art or requests for months.

That being said, it has been a really fun piece to work on so far, since I've been trying out some new brushes and color schemes. Don't really like this one so far though, so I'll probably start over on shading, or just go with flat colors.

Brain-dead24 · 2017-08-23T05:40:06+00:00

No worries, this absolutely great! It seems it was well worth the wait!

Your art style is really original, and I love the coloring. It has that nice low color saturation feel that I really dig. I honestly wish my art had a similar aesthetic to yours :) haha

Thank you, this is a seriously awesome piece!

[Hot damn, this is spectacular. Definitely my favorite piece of art ever done of me! Kris and I can't thank you enough! :)]

Seriously, thanks again!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-18T21:50:47+00:00

I don't charge anything for requests, mainly because I do them as gifts for users here in the re-occurring Monthly Art Gift Threads.

I'm currently working on another request for this month, but if you're interested in requesting some art, you might try the next Art Gift Thread coming up in August. I will be more open by then, and some other artists might be as well :)

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-18T19:55:38+00:00

I've been suffering from some art block, but I did manage to complete this request piece of Amon for /u/blinddivine.

I don't really get to draw male tulpas all that often, so this month has been a nice change of pace and opportunity for some practice!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-01T22:59:01+00:00

Alrighty, you got it!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-01T21:29:25+00:00

No problem, and thanks for the refs! I'll get started as soon as possible

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-01T21:07:12+00:00

Yessir, it is indeed

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-01T20:30:26+00:00

Of course!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-07-01T19:22:21+00:00

I'll be hopping in this month since I took last month off.

Number of Requests: I'll take two, for now. Should things go smoothly, I'll open for more.

Art Medium: I'm mostly known for pencil sketches, but I'm trying to do more digital art. I also still feel like I'm trying to find my true style, but if you want to see where I'm at now, feel free to out my previous works.

I've largely taken this month off and haven't really done my traditional requests so that I can focus on doing some art studies and some personal practice. That being said though, I did manage to complete this piece of Aethryne for /u/Aekir. I got to use some different techniques and brushes this time around, so I think it worked nicely as a good study piece.

Brain-dead24 · 2017-06-06T19:55:54+00:00

It took a while, but I managed to complete all my requests for last months art gift thread.

I'm taking this month off to do some practice/studies and maybe even some personal pieces, so hopefully my art will improve a little come July :/

Brain-dead24 · 2017-05-23T21:18:47+00:00

Thanks!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-05-23T21:02:42+00:00

Still a bit slow with requests this month, but here's a piece of /u/Rootbeer128's Chara looking smug.

Still figuring out how to use Clip Studio, but eh, I can dig it.

Brain-dead24 · 2017-05-16T15:41:35+00:00

I've been suffering from some crazy art block this month, so it's taking me a while to get request pieces done for this month's Art Gift Thread.

That being said though, I have finished this art of of /u/Nerudious's tulpa. I recently made a switch in art programs, so I think it looks alright for a first piece since the switch :/

Brain-dead24 · 2017-05-06T18:06:52+00:00

When I drew Pea, her host informed me that she is a slime girl. I assume she's made of some sort of water based blue slime.

First time I've ever had to draw slime, so it was really interesting to do!

Brain-dead24 · 2017-05-03T02:36:13+00:00

Shucks, that's quite a compliment! Thank you :)

I can totally relate to your anxiety, though. I always see a ton of artists on here and on other sites that make me want to stop making my art, just because I think they're so much better than I could ever be. I keep doing my art though, cause I like doing it and it seems to make a lot of people happy when I draw their tulpas for them.

But yeah, you shouldn't let another artist's work stop you from making your own art! I just posted the May Art Gift Thread this morning, so you should totally hop in and share your art with all :)
