from the stream, new lesbian(? idk they're still a little fluid) ocs for your perusal dear viewer
so I'm not just posting comm stuff, I have a lot of wips ongoing right now, I just keep jumping between them before finishing any of them
New comm type to help promo my vgen! These will have really limited slots going forward since I've priced them lower than I usually would but they're fun & simple and I do love having more accessible pricing options haha vgen.co/pine_niidles
curating my clip studio brushes today, I always love the weird texture pages I get while doing this
and a second smaller pdf just for my life drawing <3 pine-niidles.itch.io/2025-life-dr...
In lieu of remembering to post things to social media I collect what I draw into yearly pdfs, this year's is out now! pine-niidles.itch.io/loose-ends-2...
just about halfway through formatting this year's art pdf, it's going to be the longest so far :o
I make sure to have small items and big items, detailed sections and flat sections, thin lines and thick lines, ect. my earlier borders have a bunch of equally sized & spaced items filling them which is a fine look but I think more dynamic borders suit my art better most of the time
it's not at all limited to art nouveau, that's just how it sticks in my mind. Illuminated manuscripts fall under this category too
"art nouveau" is where the border doesn't have items inside it but rather itself is decorative, looping and swirling creating windows through which we can see the art. if there are items in the border they are intertwined inside it.
the "most often seen" the way I mostly see people doing borders which tends to be a solid band, with no sections, outlining a drawing, with items inside that overlap and intermingle. I think it's a beautiful way to do borders & it's what I started with though without as much intermingling
I've never actually drawn that kind of border but it's stuck in my mind due to childhood fairytale books leaving a huge impression and is what I'm inspired by anytime I give my borders their own interior sections
In "photocard style" the border is comprised of overlapping items whose edges directly touch the edge of the art (or with a small outline following the shape of the items). I try to either give the edge lots of bumps or place them in a way where together they form a clean shape
in my mind there are 4 "types" of borders I mainly draw by categorized by the outer edge of the border and how it interacts with the art & how the items inside the border interact with each other
yeyyy that's the last set of lines! I'll post the finished versions and tag people as I color these 😊
bunch of wips from my sketchbook I want to try and finish before the end of the year
