I've been drawing every day, which started as an outlet from work. I decided to focus all my art into my personal universe. I have volumes and volumes of detailed setting information in my head but very little written down. Doing the art is a way for me to make some of that lore concrete and I can hopefully come back later with text to string it all together, and to give me more ideas to branch off as each drawing inspires more drawings.

I have really enjoyed your at on artshare, and I would look forward to hearing about the world!
Oh my gosh, hi! I instantly recognized your work from [email protected]! It’s fun to see the same people around in different communities. I’m not sure how much you browse, but you may have seen my pen and paper sketches that were posted on an old account.
Anyways, they look fantastic! I always used to wonder if your works were for an organized setting because they seemed pretty consistent. You will definitely continue to receive my upvotes.
Thanks! I searched your name but I'm not sure what your old account was, I do browse and upvote a lot of art to support people. If you post a link I'm sure I've seen it.
Pretty much all my art these days is for my worldbuilding because finishing one piece inspires the next one, and I find it both interesting and challenging to keep everything in the same setting.
I've been teaching myself to draw for the exact same reasons you do it. Hopefully the quality of my work will catch up to yours soon, lol. Right now, I'm great at drawing things from reference, but the moment I try to draw something from my own head, the skill I thought I had just vanishes...
Thanks for the attention. I've been trying to improve by drawing more consistently, so I hope to have more in the future. I'll keep an eye out especially for your posts on art share.
