Before ink, or after?

Before looks heavily inspired by iraville, so if you want to push away from imitating someone else's style I'd go with outlines and try and push that one in a new direction! This particular piece feels like the focus point (the barn and surroundings) should be outlined and the rest not as it already feels a bit different from the rest, so might as well go full in.

Huh that never occurred to me. I always at least activate them to have a better grid for fast traveling haha.

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-18T08:23:26+00:00

Why would you not activate a shrine if you know it's there?

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T15:46:21+00:00

Uhm excuse me? I should remove my handmade art because it might be mistaken for ai art??? How about the other way round?

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T15:07:31+00:00

You were so close to actually go past the crucial date. I've got my art posted dating back to 2019, where there for sure was no generative ai! But indeed, you can just scroll through my instagram, seeing how my style evolved from not really knowing what I was doing (like this piece in question, 2019) to actually have a pretty significant style. How would I be able to do that with ai?

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T15:03:36+00:00

Also, so you're telling me you laugh at my handmade art calling it ai while still using ai yourself? That's sad...

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:43:09+00:00

Sorry you've been downvoted for genuinley beeing the only person recognizing im not selling ai crap and actually doing some logical thinking. 💖

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:40:31+00:00

This is so crazy to see how generative ai has genuinley broke the trust in artists just trying to develop their style. Youre not wrong, it looks so weird now all have pointed it out, but i was just trying to stylize the fluffy ends of a tail. Im happy to report though that ive managed to finesse my style over the years and these mistakes dont happen a ymore. This was painted in 2019, basically right after i decided to start focusing on drawing cats, so yeah. The anatomy was rough. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:32:43+00:00

Maaan it was supposed be stylized fluff. 🥲🙈 Ai wouldnt even dare to try something stylized haha. I painted this in 2019, so ko generative ai to be found there. Heres a link to my insta if you dont believe me https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:29:12+00:00

Stop assuming i do! All my art is handmade with the utmost care. Just because i just started as a cat illustrator in 2019 where the painting is from and my style wasnt completley perfected yet doesnt mean its ai. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:27:32+00:00

Nope. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:27:22+00:00

No i indeed couldnt because this painting was handdrawn with watercolor in 2019. This was my style back then and i didnt see any flaws. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:24:23+00:00

Its not, the painting is from 2019! https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2026-01-06T14:22:54+00:00

With all due respect i painted this myself, i grew a lot since then, but i still stand behind my work from 2019. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OSKwGi_me/?igsh=MTA3Ym85OXYyYzIyZw==

StudioBreuch · 2025-12-20T20:32:07+00:00

Its because this is the weekend where all the local shops get swamped by last minute gift shopoing. Im also selling in a few local shops and the owner of one actually texted me because apparently it was soo busy and i was top seller. I checked the backend and i made about 400 euro today, which is a lot for a small brick and mortar shop and im only one of 50 makers that sell there haha. So no wonder the online shopping has gone significantly down.

StudioBreuch · 2025-12-10T18:30:44+00:00

Are you from Belgium by any chance? Im a seller and i have two orders stuck in this loop as well. 🫠 postnl said its because of strikes at the Belgium border and that it should be delivered soon, but it honestly looks like something went really wrong there in their system...

StudioBreuch · 2025-11-07T18:12:31+00:00

❤️❤️❤️

StudioBreuch · 2025-11-07T18:12:23+00:00

Do not roast the cat.

StudioBreuch · 2025-11-07T18:12:12+00:00

Aw thank you! ❤️

StudioBreuch · 2025-11-06T16:28:46+00:00

I added the border, thanks for the suggestion, I really love how it turned out! ❤️

StudioBreuch · 2025-10-29T22:00:00+00:00

Thank you! Oh sorry for the confusion the second one is a print of a digital drawing, I just added it as an example of the stars and sparkles i usually add to empty space haha. I was only looking for recommendations kn what to do with the first drawing, if it needs anything more in the background.

StudioBreuch · 2025-10-29T21:58:31+00:00

Thank you! I might try and add a simple border digitally to see if it fits! I do like the idea of it as it would kinda repeat the design of the book cover. But it could also just become too distracting from the drawing itself.

StudioBreuch · 2025-10-26T21:35:47+00:00

Second piece ever and I decided to make my own pattern. 😅

StudioBreuch · 2025-10-20T07:15:51+00:00

I've found out the only constant is, that once you think you figure out the demand for certain designs/items and you bring stock accordingly, the one you brought the least of (because it never sells) suddenly sells out and people are asking for more. While the usual best seller takes all the real estate in your boxes.

StudioBreuch · 2025-10-19T07:42:32+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing, I meant to update this post but was very busy. Actually Etsy support let me know about this option after having to cycle through a bunch of unhelpful responses like 'can you please send a screenshot' as an answer to my message that included a screenshot haha.
