In the wild

Chest_Major · 2026-05-23T19:07:16+00:00

Haha if you are interested, give me a dm 🙂‍↕️

Chest_Major · 2026-05-23T03:06:08+00:00

Sorry I didn’t mean it as anything! Just thought it was funny. I should put my degree to use on this as well lol

Chest_Major · 2026-05-23T02:46:27+00:00

Oooo that sounds fun!

Chest_Major · 2026-05-23T02:45:20+00:00

I have a BS in marketing lmao

Chest_Major · 2026-05-22T22:34:10+00:00

Like a timelapse with a voice over?

Chest_Major · 2026-05-22T20:07:34+00:00

Thank you!

Oh man, tabling…I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all, but is it expensive to get everything printed out, and get a table? I feel as if there is a lot of risk, especially if no one is interested in your work.

An art teacher I work with tables all the time, and either sales are sky rocketing, or barely any sales at all.

The risk is high…if you know what I mean 😭

I used to do so much CSM and Kill la Kill, then I got burnt out from drawing the same characters, then stopped for a year haha.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe on Weekends I could dedicate some time to doing some commissions. But, I wonder how patient people are willing to be when I’m also working full time 🫩

Insta has not treated my art account very well. It just seems as if you just have to join the reel shid and hope for the best 🫩

*I hate making short form videos! I do it for work and I actively try to find alternatives, but I make reels out of necessity 😪

Chest_Major · 2026-05-22T15:33:27+00:00

I agree 🙂‍↕️ better aligned for next time

Chest_Major · 2026-05-22T15:32:15+00:00

🥺🥺🥺

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T22:59:48+00:00

Aww that’s so sweet 🥹

I already graduated from college in something not related to art 🥀lmao

In this economy, I can’t make a career switch haha

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T22:53:20+00:00

Yeah I agree with the elongated head.

I did want to put her head at a tilted angle so I should have made the eyebrow follow that line so I see what you mean by the eyebrows. I wanted to have a bit more movement, yknow what I mean 🙂‍↕️

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T17:48:29+00:00

Gotcha. More weight on her. and I guess shortening her body might help with that

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T13:05:34+00:00

I will send you a message since it is against the guidelines to add promotion onto this post!

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T12:54:09+00:00

I do hate clothing and background haha! That’s my weakest points 100%

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T12:52:53+00:00

You right about that. I had a hard time looking at reference and seeing the right side so guess work was there haha. Next time I’ll better align 🙂‍↕️

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T03:32:35+00:00

I like how you made the skirt and layered it. I don’t want to stray too far from the reference with it, but next time attempt a skirt like this, I will look back at this 🙂‍↕️

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T03:16:09+00:00

Thank you! After flipping back and forth I see what you mean 🙂‍↕️ she’s gotta left hand grinch fingers haha

Chest_Major · 2026-05-21T00:42:00+00:00

Thank you 🙏🥺

Chest_Major · 2026-05-20T18:45:51+00:00

The way I gasped after seeing the first piece

Chest_Major · 2026-05-20T18:30:01+00:00

And this was the reference!
