Apprentice Priest

I did some more art recently. This is an apprentice priest for my rpg / visual novel.

 

And here's a video of the process!

 

A being with a renaissance mind. I'm a visual artist, singer, writer, and an Otome VN game dev.

Sketches and sickness

By -
Image
It's been about two months that I've been struggling with covid-19 post-viral fatigue and who knows what else. Technically, I've been sick since mid-March, but it's only been in the past two months that I've been to the point where I'm essentially bedbound. It was worse a month ago, but I'm finally to the point where I can walk to the bathroom once a day by myself and open the curtains in my bedroom to let the sunlight in. Other than that, I'm in bed all day, unable to walk any farther than what I've just mentioned. Previously, I was unable to do anything but lay in bed and meditate. It was a struggle to even pick up my water bottle and eating knocked me out. Nowadays, I've got just enough strength to draw, write, or even sing. I'm optimistic I'll get better, it's just a slow as fuck process. I've learned to be patient and that results come weekly or even monthly, not daily. For anyone dealing with any sickness,  chronic or otherw...

Jaws Concept Art

Here's some concept art for my character, Jaws. He's a daemon from the capital of Mareterrae (the water kingdom) - Trenton. He's one of the main characters in an rpg / visual novel I'm making. I haven't posted up much (or anything, actually😅)  about my visual novel, but eventually I will! 😁Down below I posted a time-lapse of me digitally painting. *Suddenly gets pushed aside* Jaws: You're in the way. Jaws: I'd like everyone to know that's not my blood. Me: Oh, really? Jaws: Yes, really. It's not my fault the enemy decided to bleed everywhere. They were particularly messy today.

Modeling more stuff...

Antique Phone by Terra-Essence on Sketchfab Lately I've been 3D modeling more for class and I have to say I'm loving the challenge! I made this antique phone as a final project. I even made a short animation for it in which I had to utilize bones and skinning them to the mesh. It was a headache to figure out, but I'm happy with the results. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to texturing so the seams are kind of obvious, but oh well... I'm still proud of my creation 😁

Miscellanea: Mantra, Art, Animation, Music, & Poetry

By -
Recent mantra that I came up with. Simple. Easy. It's not the first I've come up with, but it's the first I've ever shared publicly. ♪ I am aligned ♪ ♪ I am alive ♪ ♪ I have my mind ♪  ♪ These problems don't run my life ♪ Since my last update I've made a couple more art pieces and collaborated on two songs with a band called Delta Divide. Since then, I've been on hiatus. I've been attending school for a while again and I just haven't had enough energy to keep up with school and art. Also, I've been mentally tired. Burnt out. I needed a break and I sort of got one, but not really. My life feels like a mess sometimes, but I know it's not overall. I can't wait to keep traveling my educational path. Now only if I could land a decent remote internship and somehow make some money 💫 Art Pieces: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristin Garcia (@terra.essence.art) View this post on Instagram ...

Random Quotes

"They who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music." - Unknown "The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly" - Friedrich Nietzsche  "If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. ...it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom..." - Anthon St. Maarten For some reason, I felt like posting these. They're meaningful to me in different ways.  It was limiting to have grown up with social anxiety or really just anxiety in general. Luckily, I'm not plagued or held back by what I think people are thinking of me anymore. It's hard to convince myself that anything I do is worthwhile, so it's nice to remember to not give a fuck. That nothing matters in the best, most beautifu...

Earth Elemental Mask and Updates

This is my latest creation made from paper clay and acrylic paint: I even made a rudimentary video showing my process: Recent Activities: It's been a while since I updated my blog. At the moment, on the music front, I was working on a collaboration with my wonderful partner - Mt_Majora. I sang on a couple of his songs and I'll be posting about that when I have some artwork done for my EP. I've also been working on learning Ableton for my solo music work. I haven't been writing or doing as much art as I'd like, but I've been having health issues so I'm not beating myself up about that. After all, I'm still working and stuff. For anyone reading this, stay safe out there!

Random Update and 3D model

By -
So I discovered my old blog again that I never really quite kept up with... haha... I decided to start it up again. Right now I'm randomly creating 2D digital art while learning more about 3D modeling in general. I still have a visual novel / rpg of the otome variety I want to create (I think I mentioned it already in previous posts). And in those previous posts I had Youtube videos with pictures I painted for said visual novel. Over time I've changed it up and am not going to use any of those photos. 😰 Recently I just got accepted to an online school for Game Art design (SNHU) - I think it should take me about a year and a half to graduate with a Bachelor's. I start next month and I'm pretty excited. 😁 I made a 3D dog modeled off of one of my real dogs from scratch. I call him Explorer Sparky lol. Explorer Sparky by Terra-Essence on Sketchfab Okay and thus ends my rambling for right now.

I took a break from writing and Twitching to work on some music stuff. Anyways, I recently finished a painting~ I'm going to be working on finishing my fanfic again once and for all. It's a slow process, but I'm a perfectionist and like to finish projects.
