Still working on my skills with the supplies I have but overall this one's my favorite oil pastel drawing I've made so far!
This one is so old I don't even remember when I started but tried finishing it today. Still experimenting on how to blend skintones with pastels. Also I don't even go here, I haven't even watched this movie, but I saw a lot of pretty gifs and fanart and his look captivated me so here we are XD

I love your art so much!!! What brushes do you use?
Hi thank youuuu!!!!
Okay so I really only use one brush, at 75% opacity..
This is what it looks like basically
Bottom left is what it looks like if I just tap the screen, and the rest is a few different ways I use it to paint. It's always the same brush and same opacity but just different sizes and ways to layer
And as a bonus here it is in some snippets of unfinished/might-never-be-finished works

Hi!! Loved your newest art of Jere and was just wondering what was your reference picture for it (if you even had one at all)?
Hey!! Thank you! And yeah I definitely had a ref hahaha It was a pic I saw at least a couple of times in the tag while scrolling.. I believe it was originally from his insta from a Kuumaa gig but not 100% sure?
This one didn't quite turn out like I wanted but that's okay ;u;
Here's a little old angst amid the kot kot chaos
#fanart#käärijä#jere pöyhönen#kiitos käärijä for helping me get out of my artblock#the duality of this fandom#one week it's quiet and every artist is compelled to draw this pic that captures a feeling beyond words#the next it's kotkotkotkot and he's a chicken#seriously though I was having a bad time last week#and starting this drawing was therapeutic#like his face just really.. looked how I felt#and I love that that pic became another accidental dtiys lmao#it's the spike horns that make him look like a sad mythical creature of sadness
Wasn't able to finish this one as much as I wanted but I still like this version, so thought I'd share it anyway ;u;
Yeah yeah.. I couldn't resist this pic either ;u;
There are some things I wish I had done a bit better but oh well, it was fun and good practice overall
First drawing of the year! Photo quality is shit cause I just took it on my phone and edited a bit so the colors/values would pop more.. But anyway, I got some oil pastels for christmas and bought a little notebook the other day and I had fun experimenting!
I just had to draw the Birthday Girl picture from @corr1e , it was so good!!
This will probably/definitely be my last post for the year so also happy holidays and happy New Year and all that since this also kinda has those vibes with all the sparklativeness XD
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with work right now 🫂 I know how exhausting and soul crushing it is to not have any free time. I hope things settle down at your new job soon so that can be remedied at least a bit!
Also, I absolutely love your art, so perhaps instead of commissions (for now), you could set up prints or a Redbubble for your previous work? 👀 No pressure of course, but just want you to know you'd definitely have my money!
Thank you ;u; I've actually been doing better lately because I got a few days to rest and I think I'm finding a better balance with things..
As for prints, I actually got a redbubble a while ago and looked into it but it turned out I make all my drawings way too small for that (because I draw on my phone so there's a limited capacity there) but maybe in the future when I get a new laptop/drawing tablet! Anyway thank you again for your lovely words!!

Okay sooo nothing official yet but would anyone be interested in me opening up commissions?
I've never done it before so I'd need to start out super small and limited to try it out. But I'm just curious about how many people would potentially be interested in paying for commissioned art by me before putting together a post for prices and terms and all that. Right now I'm just gonna leave this post here for people who are already following my blog, so yeah if you're interested just give it a like or a comment! (And even if you're not thanks for the support anyway, I read and appreciate every like/reblog/comment/ask/tag etc.) Thanks! ;u;
Okay I'm probably gonna delete this soon because a) I honestly wrote this in a moment when I was feeling really vulnerable and unhappy and was seriously considering quitting my new job because I didn't know how to cope with not having any free time anymore, but also b) I ended not quit my job, so yeah I still don't have much time to draw anyway (not like many people will be disappointed haha) But still, thanks to the few who liked the post ;u;
I'm still working on some wips and I'll post at least one of those soon/before the end of the year. At this point idk if I'll ever get to try doing commissions but it's always been a nice idea to consider.. so we'll see what happens in the future I guess, but for now nothing's changed

A bit late but oh well, it's still the 21st somewhere and this is more of a bday week thing anyway ;u;
I actually didn't have time to draw a new pic cause I've been super busy but I still wanted to do something so here's an edited/more finished version of the first Käärijä pic I tried drawing then left as a WIP, with a little bday tiara of course! Seriously though, I hope he had the best day, his music and general silliness have brought me a lot of joy and smiles and other nice vibes so yeah I just really appreciate this weird little green guy ;u;
#fanart#käärijä#jere pöyhönen#kiitos käärijä for helping me get out of my artblock#i could say so much more#but I'm tired af and should go sleep#worked on this while listening to huhhahhei the whole time#and yeah fuck okay you guys were right this really his best far#it's so fucking good#I might draw a more cheerful bday thing later if I find the time someday X'D
And now a classic one with a somewhat spooky month themed color palette
Hi! I know your blog clearly states your art will revolve around TOG specifically but any future ideas for the Sandman, especially The Corinthian? <3
Hey! Omg this is such a nicely worded ask?? ;u; So tbh I probably should have edited my blog info a while ago haha It did start with mainly TOG art but it's really just for anything/anyone I find interesting or aesthetically pleasing and feel like drawing
So, originally I was gonna answer that it wasn't a definite no, but that I wasn't planning on drawing more Sandman art, and that if I did and I drew someone other than Dream it'd probably be Desire... But then I thought about it some more and you know what.. It's spooky month after all, the Corinthian is spooky, so now I'm kinda intrigued XD No promises cause I'm gonna be super busy soon but I'm leaning more towards a yes now. We shall see!
Thank you for the ask!! ;u;
