Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm a digital artist and I'm starting to work on this huge drawing that I have planned! 😃 The creature at the focus of the drawing was definitely not inspired by a Korok!

Update: some progress!

Update 2 (last one!): more ice antlers rendering

Wow mate, that's a really engaging image. I like things that are different, and that's really striking and there's great colours.

Thank you so much! 😃 I keep adding things to the sketch layers so this one is gonna take a while! Working with a resolution of 2940 x 2205!

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Ooh I don't know what a Korok is, but I wanna be friends with this little leaf :) Very cool!

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you! It's a friendly little familiar spirit being conjured up in a couldron 😃

Koroks themselves are adorable too!

It’s so cute! I am always fascinated with the artists that work digitally. I tried it a little, but I find it quite difficult and not natural for me at all. It involves too much of the brain. I rather throw paint on the canvas and let my hands guide me. How many hours do you put into a finished drawing?

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you!

I don't keep track of how many hours I put into a finished drawing and it really depends! I typically only draw when I'm in the mood for it. This one which I did for my friend's birthday took me about 2 months on and off 😅 Progress pictures for this drawing are here!

I'm really pleased with how my stairway decorating turned out! It's dusky pink with a navy wallpaper wall and it looks great. I didn't paint it cos I don't have those skills.

I also helped a client in a really creative way... I really problem solved and helped them. I'm so proud of myself

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Aw congrats! Dusky pink with a navy wallpaper sounds like it'd really compliment well!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago

Yep I don't have an eye for it so I'm really proud of myself

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you share a pic? I'd love to see!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago

I'll message it now!

I am very crafty. I do lots of things: crochet, knitting, procreate, mini painting etc.

Recently I bought rocailles pearls just to make silly little bracelets and I love it. Just string them on an elastic band nothing fancy and gift them to anyone I meet.

I got the idea from a advent calendar exchange. 24 people make 24 times the same „Türchen (doorlet)“. You meet and exchange so everyone has 24 different ones. I love this idea.

I love personal gifts like that, they're so thoughtful and individual

Well, my everyday creative outlet is cooking. Today I just summed up ingredients to make some Chinese style noodles with some veggies, Spanish jamón, sesame paste, lots of sauces and spices. My husband was thrilled. I had a migraine, so for me it was more just stopping the hunger.

But cooking is the easiest way for me to be creative in any state I am in. To paint, sew or other things, I need a good rested body and good mood.
