I'm back! (but probably only temporarily. Expect me to drop off the planet at any moment again.)
The main post in this thread will not be updated anymore. Sorry, it just takes too much time and mental energy I don't have. Scroll through the posts to find any updates.
As soon as I have a better place to post my art, I'll be posting it there instead.
About Requests:
I no longer do requests except in special circumstances. The reason being that I am simply under too much stress daily nowadays due to numerous mental illnesses, physical issues, projects I've been working on for years, and various other things. I barely have the ability to create new works that I want to, let alone what others want to see.
To reiterate: newer art pieces (anything posted on and after 2020 especially) will not be in these links.
Clicking a preview will bring you to the image, and clicking a header will take you to a gallery of all the images in that category (Excluding Requests.)
Minimal art is actually surprisingly easy to do. I should note though that I tend to use pre-existing art as a stencil/base image of sorts for these. Not everything translates to minimalist art well, though, especially detailed images.
Minimal Requests:
These are completed request for minimalist art.
My other random arts. There could be almost any other art I've done that I like. I don't include requests here.
You'll notice a lot of pixels here. That is because this is pixel art.
No previews here! All these images are already demonstrated in all their glory.

On the off chance anybody here follows me anywhere else, you may have noticed that I dropped off the face of the internet for a few years. In fact, during that time, I didn't really leave the house either. I was not in a good place for those years, and I really want to explain why, whether or not it's suited to an art thread. I'll spare the details, but here's the important bits:
I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with psychosis, and
I am transgender.
I'm not comfortable with fully revealing everything, but what I am willing to say is that throughout my life I have been exposed to many traumatizing incidents, so I was already on a downward spiral. Discovering I was transgender was something only accelerated my descent. It was when that happened that everything fell apart. Half my family doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, including many people I looked up to and depended on. Most people within that half that even talk to me anymore are primarily interested in "fixing" me. This all hit the fan about 4 years ago. Unfortunately, it happened to be at that exact same time that my Bipolar was also discovered.
The short of the Bipolar bit is that I have extreme and relatively rapid mood swings. I experience a full cycle, from depression to mania, over the course of a single month. Additionally, during the highs and the lows, I also experience paranoia, vivid hallucinations, and delusions. At this point, I am properly medicated and am mostly under control. Sometimes, however, the meds don't work as well, and during these periods, I tend to cut off most of the world and by consequence, most forms of help I could receive. This especially happens during stressful events. For anyone worried, it should be noted that I live with people who keep a close eye on my, and have frequent psychiatric appointments to keep track of everything and make sure I don't do anything stupid. To be honest, I feel that others are more dangerous to me than I am to myself at this point.
And... that's about it really. On a less relevant note, I would like to mention that I've been writing a book (several actually) as a coping mechanism. One of these I will make sure gets released some way or another, but I can't make any promises about anything else. It's possible you may have seen me make reference to a project I was working on before. That would be said book. I've been working on it for close to 6 years now (longer than all this has been going on) so it really only has undertones of any of this. It will likely be a few more years before it gets released.
Normally, I would end something like this with an apology for rambling and giving TMI, but honestly, I can't care anymore. There is a lot more going on than what I have stated here, especially since I haven't even gotten into conditions that haven't yet been diagnosed. I don't know if I've made any sense, and I don't care. I've said what I've said.

Q. What equipment do you use?
A. Krita and a laptop with active pen support are what I normally use.
Q. Where did you learn to draw?
A. I just looked at things and drew them until I stopped being terrible (that took a really long time.) I did use some youtube tutorials when starting out, though.

This is all old art that I didn't feel demonstrated my artistic ability. I still wanted people to be able to see them.
So there ya go. Hope you like it, and feel free to make any comments you want. All feedback is appreciated![/spoiler][/spoiler]
