Hobbyist, self-taught digital artist. I love classic, fantasy and surreal art, character design, coffee and my beloved OCs.

“My recommendation to young artists is stay loose. Don’t worry about making mistakes. Have fun. Have a ball. Get excited, work yourself up; feel the excitement of creation! If you approach your art gingerly, with fear and timidity, you’ll never find yourself. Go ape! Go crazy! Mistakes can be corrected. Certain tricks can help you see your work more clearly. For example, turn it upside down. Get a whole other look at it. Or use a mirror even. See it in reverse. The idea is to see it from a different perspective. It may sound gimmicky, but tricks like these work.”

@SyntheVisuals I came looking for copper (the textures) and found gold (the rest of your works). Thank you for sharing these, that's very kind!

@DeviantArt I miss the days when deviantart was not cringy and actually cared about art and real artists.

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@AnthonyAvonArt Damn I even feel kinda "lazy" when I re-use a layer of one of my old or discarded paintings in a new one lmao good thing I'm only a hobbyist artist but still, those people have no shame

@AlmaKRowan omg yes! I never got to do a kiriban, but had 2 Daily Deviations back in 2010 which I am very proud of! 🥰

@Baliverbes @JonasDeRo On Settings > Deactivation. I think I will save some things and delete my account as well 😓

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

Maybe not now or never, but maybe in the future my art will be needed.

@ZhongFenghua I've always loved the camera angles and big scales on subjects on your work!

By improving ourselves, we improve our creations. By improving our creations, we improve ourselves.

The cycle is beautiful.

@GenelJumalon This post inspired me. With AI I just lost any motivation to post my art but now I think I'm gonna research about that Glaze/Nightshade things I've been seen lately. Seems interesting. Thank you!

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@eason_art Beautiful. I love art that makes me imagine of magical and surreal worlds like this!

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

Just a friendly reminder for artists that learning art is tough and yet you're doing enough. Remember you're currently dealing with you personal stuff, with money, work, social life, mental health... You've got time, you're progressing, you'll get there.

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@sylvainsarrailh omg yes! I rewatched the movie a couple of days ago and wondered about the concept art!

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@StalinPng Yup, totally agree. Though I didn't know it with that name!

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@zemotion You were one of the very first artists I started followed on dA when I started doing digital art many years ago. And this is just heartbreaking. "People will just take", damn that hurts because I also feel that way :(

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

@AnthonyAvonArt Idk, it's some kind of intuition thing for me. It's like I feel I achieved a specific feeling or vibe just from looking at it.

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]

I never user Twitter enought to reach 600 posts every day but woah that new thing is awful! #TwitterFail

@Vesperis_Art That I do not have to actually be able to paint from memory all things in existence before being "allowed" to use references. Bad advice I read on https://t.co/VOM83Fy7lm many years ago..

[Xiliuv @xiliuv]
