"There's beauty in imperfections"


A little bit about me!

Hi hi! I'm Arty and I'm an introverted digital artist and a ttrpg gremlin, specifically pathfinder/starfinder. The drawing above is me and the one who's holding the blue heart is my fience!I like art, games and dnd. I am most active on my discord server. I'm also brain scattered so I might miss/forget stuff.

vali

Vali is my mascot.
He's a mix of a squirrel and a rat (alternatively a ratfolk/ysoki), he was based on a red potato hence the red/warm coloring. He's a cleric in a metal plate armor, equipped with a sword and a simple shield.

discord server

Potatovali Tavern is my art community server and it's themed around a fantasy tavern. There, I post the art I've made, announce my commission openings, new digital art products and talk to people. I've made a lot of different stickers and emotes with my characters on it

Some emotes and stickers from it :

example

I will show how it would look like, taking one of the artworks I did, for a challenge with a bouquet theme.I wanted to draw my moth character Moss holding a bouquet of sunflowers and orange roses, standing in their flower shop, with yinglet Arbor in the background about to fall into pots with plants, while holding a pot with ferns.It will look like this when broken down in the request format:

  1. Type - illustration

  2. Illustration type - A

  3. Art style - regular

  4. Option - full body

  5. Add-ons - shading, 1 full body character

  6. Background option - Moderate

Illustration Type reference

I draw my finished art in two ways, one with more painted and textured feel and the other is sharper and sharp line-art.
A1 and B1 are not shaded, A2 and B2 are shaded.

  • Type A1 and A2 has a more "painted" feel to it and has visible texture.

  • Type B1 and B2 has a sharp look and sharp line art.

style reference

I can draw humanoid, anthro/quadro characters in both of my styles, regular and silly. They will be shown side by side below.

  • Regular style is well, my regular art style. It has more realistic proportions.

  • Silly style is the opposite, it's very cartoony.

option reference

  • Bust is above shoulders.

  • Half body is above hips.

  • Full body is fullbody.

  • Quadro/feral is for 4 legged characters.

background option references

  • Color is flat color fill or a gradient of 2-3 colors.

  • Abstract can have patterns and simple shapes.

  • Simple has props, typically a room with not too many details.

  • Moderate backgrounds show more than simple backgrounds and have more details.

  • Detailed backgrounds would be backgrounds that has a lot of elements and details, such as cities from the distance, view of the environment with buildings, mountains, etc.

sticker

  • $20 per sticker

  • + $10 per extra character (no fee for ych)

  • + $15 for simple animation per sticker

  • + $25 for moderate animation per sticker

All while having a weight on her shoulders of her life being in danger and trying to help her partner Oda.

Sparks

My first character in the first game I played that is unfortunately on pause right now.He's a mystic ysoki, he's small and he's anxious but he gets more confident and focused when it comes to his specialty, medicine and healing.
Previously an academy student, now a graduate sent with the other 2 graduates and 2 people on a mission.
Some funny moments.
When the game just started he accidentally set a tree on fire when he missed a shot with his flare pistol.
Then some time later he was also yeeted through the roof of a burning ship.Then the space ship we were traveling blew up and he had to heal everyone so they don't die. The ship blew up several times.

Vaatu

My second character I made.
He's a neutral good vanara gunslinger fighter who yields a gun.
"Quantum Leaping Monkey"He was held captive, escaped and was saved by a group of pirates when he almost passed out from exhaustion. His goals are to rescue his friend who is still being held captive by the ones who took him, mage killers.Now he's with the group of people who try to fight back against those mage killers and to rescue those who they are harming.
