Everyone at AX is great. But the elderly gentlemen who came by my table to document prices in his little notepad, and then returned later to spend $200 and carefully place prints in his oversized print portfolio and tube, is especially great. Thank you, sir!!!
Hi
#PortfolioDay
my name is Scarlet and I run a small business where I create high effort artwork!
This year my goal is to branch out into apparel, and I would love to connect with other artists, print shops, and retailers!

My family kept, from their vine my branch
Brackets bind the tree’s core, now trellis
A ladder on its side has become a bridge
Dry and keep the earth’s flesh
Hang and swing my shell’s marrow

Since I began time-intensive personal art, each new drawing feels like my best yet!
Looking back on my art created as Paperlarva, I’m sincerely proud of each one.
TY to all that have supported my work & to the new artlovers from

😬 Do people expect artists to hold onto their commission files indefinitely? After I confirm receipt of the file, it’s your responsibility. If I keep the file past that point, it would be a courtesy to resend it to a commissioner who has lost the file, not an expectation…
So many new followers today! 🙏 Thank you for joining me on my journey of personal and artistic growth!
Paperlarva is about taking care to create art that lasts. Each artwork takes over 100 hours to develop, and you can follow along through the WIPs I post through the process!
Happy

My name is Scarlet and I make high-effort sentimental illustrations! I believe in showing the magic of a slow and involved process despite our fast-paced culture. Each artwork takes over 100 hours to complete.
My dream is to make an art book some day!

Light in you, this light in me
Pressing up against your cage
Curling, rolling thunder,
Lightning and fire against the vault
The lengths from root to tip
Weaving, growing ever taut
Two pulling from the branch
Learn-ed and taught, tip the cap's scales.

The idea of “Paper Larva” comes from the papery texture of a chrysalis. The “character” is the caterpillar and the girl is its cocoon.
In choosing this artist name, I hope to embody never ending growth and evolution.
Hello

! My name is Scarlet and I create high effort, sentimental artwork with the love of my life as Paperlarva!
I love finding magic in the mundane, and slowing down in art. Each piece takes over 100 hours to develop!

Comments saying that y’all should have handled this privately when everyone’s documents are reason after reason why that already didn’t work 😬💦
🐞 Vtubers drop your PNGs 🐞
If you posted in the last one please feel free to post again, esp if I didn’t get to draw you!
🪲 Drawings will be experimental!
🪲 Personal use only unless discussed
✨ Looking to draw at least one guy! Feel free to post your friends/fav vtubers!
Maybe some people (clients) don’t understand: artists raise their prices to get less work. The fact that not everyone can afford it is kind of the point! We have limited time, limited stamina. Even though it would be fun to imagine doing All The Projects! it’s not realistic.
Today it is my birthday 🥳✨(another March baby lol ☘️)
If you want to celebrate with me, it would make me so happy if you left a reply telling me which of my artworks is your favorite 💛
Looking forward to another year full of art with you all!
🐝☘️🍯
Mold me
Into sweet dreams,
That you rehearsed those lonely years.
My name dripped from your lips,
Did it taste like honey?

Probably gonna regret saying anything but maybe artists shouldn’t be accepting payment upfront for any work that can’t be completed within 180 days (refund window).
If the project is longer maybe it would be worthwhile to set up milestones to be paid upfront each checkpoint.

I’m Scarlet and I’m breaking my hands to draw ultra detailed love letters turned illustrations 💛🍯
Each drawing takes 100+ hours so I really appreciate the time you take looking 🙏
It was so much fun to participate in

Hi again
#PortfolioDay
!
My name is Scarlet and I make art with the love of my life 🥰
I’m trying to break away from the fast-paced, content-consuming culture by creating artworks slowly and carefully and bringing magic through the details.
Currently in my con & merch arc 😆
Maybe it's a bit corny in today's culture of commodified art, but I really do believe in artists' ability to touch and change people through their work. We contribute value to society beyond how much money someone is willing to pay you.
Keep making the art you want to make!
Reminder to everyone who didn’t do something “impressive” at 23 that we go at our own pace. And we CAN catch up to the people in front of us. Progress isn’t constant. Respect the journey and trust that we will blossom when we are ready to receive and execute our opportunities!
For those interested: commissionsed art copyright belongs to the creator of the artwork, not the commissioner. UNLESS the commissioner is the employer of the artist- note also that contractors are not employees.
😭 before this starts discourse, it’s not that deep. If you provide this service to your commissioners that’s great! I would also send files if I had them. But to expect artists to be responsible for work that ended months, years ago is not a realistic expectation. That’s all!
After over 160 hours, she is finally done!!! The procreate & time lapse file are once again too large to export 😩
Enjoy these detail crops and get excited for the final artwork posting tomorrow 💜🍇💜🍇💜
I’m not on VGen yet, but I’m just curious- from what I’ve heard it sounds like they’re running a marketplace. Which means that they advertise you to a client base within their own site. (You’d be able to get work without doing external advertising?) ~5% is pretty decent/low-
QQ I feel like there’s commission discourse every day on Twitter… I’m afraid to disappoint people who expressed interest in my commissions, but they will likely start at $1k USD I’m not sure I can dedicate the time to work for less and still deliver art that I’m proud of 👉👈

In the ocean's froth
and in that old, plastic tub
my heart too, a container
blown bubbles in midair
when drawn, soaking deeply
showers drenching my hair.
