Have you seen the Faerie Fire anthology? I think it really aligns with your aesthetic. It's on kickstarter right now and is like a supplemental bestiary where everything is bright 80s and 90s aesthetic. it looks so so cool and theyre about $8000 away from a stretch goal that will include player races (including giant grasshoper people). The kickstarter ends on February 7th though.
googles…

This is one of the samples they’ve got on their Kickstarter
I really hope they get to the player races stretch goal! That would be so, so ideal ♥
This year, I want you to be unapologetic when you create.
Don’t apologize for your writing, drawing, music, designs, films, sculptures, cosplays, knitting, sewing, cooking, and anything else I might’ve missed.
Don’t apologize for the quality.
Stop being afraid of what you can accomplish. You might think you can do so much better, well guess what? You will. You’re always improving. But if you start to apologize for the best you can do at this moment, then you might restrain yourself, stop yourself from taking risks that will help you.
I know this is a hard thing to stop. I do it all the time. When I submit art to people that I’m not so confident about, I’ll apologize in advance.
This year, I challenge you, and myself, to stop doing it.
the fight is harder each year.
this remains one of the best old year/new year illustrations I’ve ever seen
