Art I made with myself for birthday :)
I made it last year, it's mostly with copic markers, some prismacolor colored pencil details and for see-through sleeves, and dress pattern is with posca pens :) It took me a relatively short time of around 5 hours.
My Procreate art for anniversary of local concept art event :)
Torn inside
I made this one with markers - it's about feeling fragmented, at war with myself and also about CSA scars.
My local tram line in markers
I struggle lots with environments, perspective and coloring environments, so I tried a while back to practice them. Mixing in imaginary elements to irl ones is my soft spot 💕
Suspended soul
Older sketch about NDE, feeling not here nor there.
What makes You feel loved and appreciated the most?
So far I've noticed, based on loving INFJs that they like those:
- listening,
- remembering details,
- building mind map around who they are and their life,
- gratitude,
- support,
- real deep connection,
- being consistent (I struggle with this one lots),
- being honest, transparent and clear,
- warmth and passion,
- freedom to be themselves,
- team work around daily life struggles and practical things,
- open communication (also so hard for me)
I also noticed that I break down my ego and walls since all my defenses will be seen through anyway. Any other ones? :)

Portrait for a friend u/merelifluous :)
I hosted contest on my IG a while back and this was the winner prize for a friend 😊 Request was Ghibli vibes similar to Howl's Moving Castle 🌟

'I set my wings on fire' - practicing matching color lineart
In this one I tried to match lineart color to the color under it, warm colors have pink lines, dark colors have black ones and for white I used gray liner.
I used copic multiliners, sakura micron pens, copic markers and a bit of colored pencils :)
Title is inspired by song that I really like from DPR Ian -'Seraph'.
Still learning to love myself

If I breathe
It's alright'

My older art about fighting to accept myself as I am. I used liners, white gel pen and pink copic marker :)
In the eye of the storm
My art about protector self holding my soul safe. Done with copic markers, colored pencils and gel pens :)
Inner light - colored pencils on purple paper
This idea was born after IFS therapy session where it turned out that all my parts are there to protect inner light from my past childhood's cruelty and pain. I might be fragmented, but my brain did it's best to survive and I'm thankful for that :)
Copic markers with sepia liner
I usually try to mix up tools for lineart and this one was done with sepia colored liner, black one only for dark parts. Normally I like black and heavy one, but I also like the feel of lighter lines :)
I used pigma micron liner from Sakura.
Putting in genuine effort that is never seen
Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask if anyone relates to that, being appreciated only after You're gone because the things we do to make work, relationships, life of others better in general are not grand gestures or visible kind of things.
It's things like holding space for others, remembering details, being gentle and kind because of remembering their pain, support, but not too much, being balanced and the glue of the group, letting people unfold on their own and witnessing that.
But from the outside it doesn't seem like much, until You're not there and then there is a chance someone might see a difference.
It's like being a gentle swan that looks so calm and collected, but actually paddles a lot under the surface of water.
It happens to me especially at work. Anyone else? Any tips?
