I'm not into performative sketchbook stuff. Enjoy this mess, where even I don't know what's going on as I add more. It's funny how I almost never #sketch landscapes, for some reason.

I'm messing around with a painting. It's recomposed, simplified and made much clearer. Thank you, fresh eyes. What do you think? Can you look away? 🖼️👀 #art #clipstudiopaint

The Cumulus Core, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A surreal field with an impressive view of a radiant core surrounded by swirling dark clouds and swirling, radiant rays that arch around the landscape. There's a hovercat in the midground, hovering innocently. The colors are predominantly blue.

Another "Rampage!!!" for the #Yugo fan club. A4, mixed media on plain paper. There's ink, marker, neon marker and gold acrylic. This piece of #TraditionalArt was made a few years ago and still looks amazing, even raw like this. For sale via DM!

This is one of my raw and unhinged "Rampage!!!" series artwork, mixed media on plain A4 paper. I finally made a video showing how lovely it looks in real life. For sale via DM! #TraditionalArt #art

Man, this 40" Canvas #print of Dreaming Above... really towers over the three other 23" prints in this large order I signed at the print shop yesterday. Love it! This order saved me from being broke this month, thank you, kind person! 💜 Order yours via DM to get the best deal directly from me.

A 40" stretched canvas print of Dreaming Above the Wreckage in Srem sits on a large table.

Several large prints sit vertically, leaned onto a wall in the print shop. One print is a 40" print of Dreaming Above the Wreckage in Srem, and the other one visible is a 23" print of Shepherd's Gate, half the size.

Something I made while testing a WIP brush for Clip Studio Paint, quite a happy, cloudy accident. Thought it would be cute to share.

A work in progress digital painting of a magical, surreal sky with vibrant clouds and a lemon yellow arch. There’s a cat floating, it wears a hat and a vest.

"It was a feat only the best Reality Twisters could've pulled off. Cores were made for spectacle, feeding off imagination, yet hardly anyone is able to interface with the century-old masterpiece now. Muffin can, though." 🖼️The Cumulus Core Personal #art, 202X, ArtRage/Clip Studio. @en.clipstudio.net

Getting back to Infinite Painter a bit, to unrustify. I made this amazing brush myself, so enjoyable to sketch with. Infy is really underrated. #InfinitePainter #sketches

I'm upping my handmade crochet hook game, seems like I have a new hobby. It's damn fun, maybe I trigger some spell accidentally, too. Promise to get back to art soon. 😊

The Blue Hour, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A blue and purple dream-like scene with an overgrown church sitting in a cloudy landscape. Wind turbines can be seen in the distance and there's a chimney pumping rain clouds out. A cat with a hat and a vest is lazily hovering around the scene.

This is a "hack" if I ever saw one, I have to try it. This artist used staples to stretch his watercolor paper on a wooden board.

On the Morning Watch, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A boy in an ethnic dress is standing by a Yugo 45 car on a top of a small hill, overlooking a misty teal rural landscape with tall trees and low pink clouds. There is a group of geese walking around in the flowery overgrown spring meadow in the foreground. Two hovering cats hang around the car.

That's something I never thought about, my mistake, I will make a short instruction. Thank you for noting this little hiccup! Here's something I found for you, before I make my own doc:

Get the Brush File: Download a .brush (single brush) or .brushset (brush set) file to your iPad's Files app or cloud storage.
Open Brush Library: In Procreate, tap the Brush icon (looks like a paintbrush) on the top menu.
Tap the '+' Button: In the top right of the Brush Library, tap the + icon to open the Brush Studio.
Select Import: Tap "Import from Files" at the top right of the Brush Studio.
Choose Your File: Navigate to your downloaded brush file and tap it to import.
Find Your Brush: The new brush or set will appear in an "Imported" folder or at the top of your current library.

And it's not all, there's another funny weird #Procreate brush in the post alongside Elastic Ink. This is Elastic Sketcher, a version made with the same assets. I didn't want to put it up separately because I am a bad capitalist. 🌸 Grab the brush and support me at patreon.com/zhillustrator
