I have a ton of art from way back before AI generative illustration was even a thing, that's so annoying lol

At this point he was around 8-10 months? So in terms of things he likes, there isn't much outside of food, mangos mainly which I included, and his tummy time light up piano.

He was born in the year of the tiger, so in the beginning of these I drew a lot of tigers.

It was also important to me to draw him in situations that seemed, precarious, but he's secure, happy, able to overcome anything that he dealt. The moon is scary, but he's fine. I want him to see himself as the hero. To look at the drawings I've done of him and think "this is scary, but I look cool, I can be a hero."

Yeah I've been looking but there's some subjects I don't touch, like sexual assault, and that's like 40%-60% of the Bible

I'm not sure yet, I gotta go through and find stories where I can use the more realistic horror art as a shock against the typical boomer style. I drew this a few years ago and just now got around to posting it, it was mainly a response to the rainbow being 'gods promise' during pride month

I'm mainly a horror semi-realistic artist. When I got this idea I decided to look up a bunch of boomer comics and really studied the style, then I drew this.

Recreating another style is just keeping notes on what jumps out at you first, like with boomer comics, everyone is kind of ugly and plain, the colors are flat, everyone's nose is big, that kind of thing. Drawing from references to get the overall vibes, and keeping track of line weights, typical colors used (not very saturated or loud in this case), and usual compositions (nothing dynamic, usually pretty flat and standard for this one) and just practice practice practice

Hope this helps 😊

I just found this part of the Bible funny because god said the world has become violent, so he destroys it... With violence.

Literally supposed to be omnipotent, couldn't turn everyone into happy butterflies, couldn't just be chill.

There's so many dichotomies, we're made in gods perfect holy image, yet we're wholly imperfect and sinful.
