A 'lil Layne Love (Patreon)

I haven't drawn Layne Raine in a hot minute, so I thought it'd be refreshing for my mojo to circle back! A sort of "art therapy," I suppose. For those who don't know, the TL;DR version is Layne Raine is Ceran's alter ego / performance persona. The whole plot can basically be distilled into Ceran having once secretly been this mega-famous powerhouse singer oh so many moons ago, whom of which was believed to have died in a plane accident back in the 80s. The truth is that being Layne Raine ended up developing into a deeply stressful and mentally torturous affair, to be so hauntingly famous was taking its toll, and Ceran? Well, Ceran wanted out.

Also for reasons beyond me, I was seized by the urge to draw a colorful puppet version of him.




In an unrelated note, I apologize for the slowness of posts! It's purely that all the stuff I currently have are in WIP stages that will take took long to finish, leaving that ugly dry spell of no content. So I'm trying to get better at taking breaks to do smaller stuff to present! Show what's going on, show some growth, etc.! I'm trying to do better at posting stuff for regular tiers, remembering I CAN still share WIPs and little things, and not EVERYTHING has to be a big bombastic polished piece.
I also love doing this super rad thing where I tell myself "just half ass it, do simple, sloppy, minimalist, you don't need to go hard we don't have that kind of time-" and proceed to paint a whole ass bust that's only going to ever be briefly seen in the reflection of a broken mirror. Why must I be this way.
