soft rebrand incoming!

artsydudejude ➡ everestseal

just touching base real quick:

i've been preoccupied with a long-term crafting project, and most likely will not be done until sometime in march/april. around that time i've arranged for some PTO from my day job, so once i've used that time to decompress i plan to open up my commissions again with a new prices/info sheet.

nothing there yet, but go follow if ya like.

heads up: just indefinitely deactivated my instagram. would have deleted it entirely, but with my insta @ watermarked on most of my past artwork I didn't wanna risk someone snatching up the username to try and scam people looking for commissions or something :/

insta was never my main bag, but lately it's just become such a short-form slopfest that i've just decided it's not at all worth maintaning a presence there. plus with all of meta's policy changes and the ai accounts they plan to implement... nah, i don't wanna be there.

i announced this a week in advance over there to give my followers a chance to find me on other platforms, and thanks to that I have now surpassed 12k followers here on tumblr! yeay

oh holy shit when I went to find a GIF for this post there was just bare naked tits in my face whadda hell. just full-on bazonkers as the third GIF before any search terms were added. god bless america.

it says: HEY, MY COCK IS DOWN ⬇ HERE

i was gonna do a closeup for that too like i did with the vest details, but i was too eager to get it all done and posted. plus, the hat is interchangeable with other hats/headgear, while the vest is something that he wears often enough that all the decals should be legible in the ref.

BBB (big beautiful badger) incoming

i feel you there, pal; irl gore still never fails to ruin my day. fortunately, when it comes to artistic gore, medical diagrams and illustrations are your best friends!

once you get an idea for the shape and placement of everything, it's just a game of applying damage and gravity, along with all the blood. looking to some good ol' gory horror flicks can help give you a sense of what looks good without getting into irl territory.

~🌿🦨🌿~

maybe i'm just gonna quit art and dedicate my life to making pot roast

i love deadlines. love the whooshing noise as they fly on by.

in the deep

couple of thumbs to hold ya over 😑👍

not sure i'll be able to complete all seven illustrations by the end of the month, but i'm letting myself be okay with that instead of pushing myself back into a burnout. they'll be done when they'll be done 💛
