woo!! lots of great stuff here!! i've given compliments to some of your work before but i love how naturalistic your lighting is in all of your framed pieces, i can really feel the weather. and the 1st drawing is really interesting!! all of the rings seem so mysterious, is this part of a larger concept or were u just exploring the visual idea here?
you're doodle page is also super cute!!! i love the angry robot LMAO

ohh thank you so much that means a lot!! that kind of feeling and atmosphere is really something i try to capture so its so awesome to know that it comes through :nukoshy:

the rings are part of the setting that my little robot guy CJ lives in! :o) (he's also the one in the 6th and 7th drawings) i dont like to give away much outside of whats in my finished pieces, but i'll say the rings are ruins of an old super structure that fell apart many years ago and are dormant and overgrown now, same with a lot of things in that world ^_^ im rly at the beginning of making stuff from this setting and im so excited to keep making stuff about it and sharing it!
im not sure if this is gonna work but i'll try attaching a little WIP theme im making for CJ here :nukowiggl:

Sick art! And that theme song is super fun, makes me want to play around in garage band again haha (other daws scare me... but i dont have a mac, sad!)
Your skill with environments is stellar! I also like that sample of your OC's theme, I find music to be a whole lot more challenging than visual art. Can I ask what DAW you use? :nukoyay:
thank you both!! :givflower: and i use ableton! ive had it since i was like 16 and its awesome. i highly recommend looking into getting it somehow if you're interested in digital music at all! its super great and a really intuitive DAW :nukoyay:

YIPPIE IT WORKED!! i love this theme!! it sounds so whimsical but also slightly tense, and mysterious??? i love how its conveying multiple energies at once. deffinitly understand not wanting to share things that aren't finished to a level you want to share it at but know that i am waiting in anticipation to hear more :nukowiggl: !!!! it sounds like you have this world very internally fleshed out Quote from: lotsatoast on Mar 09, 2026, 05:39 AMi use ableton! ive had it since i was like 16 and its awesome.
omg me but with clip studio, imagining the timeline now where papa claus put like, idk, FL studio on little kringles laptop instead of clip studio paint LMAO

Oh my goodness!! This is so charming! The way you rendered the knight's armor reminds me a lot of Louie Zong's art. (VERY HIGH COMPLIMENT) its also very pretty how the river reflects the sky!! very cute piece :nukocheer: :nukocheer: :nukocheer:
Louie Zone song it evoked in my mind:

it really reminded me of his work as well!! especially his blender pieces. this looks great so far, excited to see where it goes!
i knew the energy of this piece felt familiar, everyone pointing out the louie zong similarities is totally on the money, its the strong blacks and cute border that really does it. combinining mideval vibes with the like scifi vibes is also HELLAA fun, look @ that alien go
thank you all for the kind words on the last piece i really appreciate it ^_^ !!!!
here is something i made over the past two evenings

here is something i've been working on the past few days :^) i've been traveling and passing through big cities several times recently and its a very surreal experience as someone from a much more rural area! it's very beautiful and exciting and overwhelming and awesome and there's so much to see and hear and taste and smell and i wanted to capture that feeling :nukoyay:
