Happy birthday my beloved dandaliens and happy birthday SPACE RACE (it was technically the 24th but I forgot to post)

You have changed my life forever. For better or for worse I do not know yet

Another piece I started during philosophy... the big guy is Seaquester, he's existed for a while now but I've finally settled on a design I like so I'm really excited to draw him more. And you know Dan and Andy (I hope???)

Big things coming soon. Gonna actually try to illustrate a full chapter of space race soooon because I never know how to describe it to people so I'd rather them read my unfunny, poorly drawn comic as I awkwardly stand there and watch their facial expressions

Super self indulgent art that caters to me and me alone but i guess you can see it too

Gonna get this manufactured for myself obviously BUT I will have extras so take this post as a very informal interest check... idk what pricing will look like yet, I just saw a niche to be filled. And I know the freaks are out there so lmk if you would cop

It's space race szn... seeing the dandelions outside is unironically motivating me to work on space race more tho

Another mock comic book cover! I started and finished this during philosophy because I am crazy. I love having a class where I can just sit and draw, I'm constantly making stuff for school but this is different because it's casual and on my own terms. This guy is my self insert Benny, they wear a visor because it's like the dandalien version of glasses (also it just looks cool as hell)

Maybe I'll start sharing more space race stuff soon because this project consumes me... you WILL love my ocs

How it feels to take 2 semesters of life drawing just to end up scared of drawing people

I feel like I've been stagnating with how I draw humans/humanoids (and kinda with my style in general) so if you see me trying some weird stuff with my art that is why

"Mirror Self Portrait" Alcohol markers + colored pencils, 14 x 20 in. Started/finished December 7, 2023.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SO MANY COOL CURRENT PROJECTS but they're all traditional so I just need a chance to document them... for now I will continue posting stuff from my transfer portfolio

This was an in-class life drawing assignment from last semester! I have buzzed hair but that's kinda boring to draw so my teacher let me draw myself wearing my favorite hat!!! (I love collecting hats now because I can wear them without worrying about ruining my hair.) Also I am looking off to the side because that's where I had put my mirror. I'm not used to drawing myself but school has me making soo many self portraits, it's new and weird but I still really enjoyed this.

I was doing mlp infection stuff before it was cool... (sorta not really I just wanted to say that) Reductive monotype, 11 x 13.5 in. Started/finished March 14, 2023.

This piece is almost a year old now but it's still one of my favorite things I've made. This was a Printmaking 1 assignment and I'm in Printmaking 2 right now so hopefully I can make more monotypes soon! Also please ignore the warping, this is meant to be more rectangle-shaped but I've yet to flatten it out but who cares

I got sick with some weird cold so I've spent the past couple days in bed with a fever... it's nice to have some my strength back because I was feeling restless

"Diner Aliens" Alcohol markers, 17 x 14 in. Finished September 2023.

My first big project from my Drawing 2 class, we had to draw the illusion of depth! And the first illustration I did with my markers I think! Up until this I just used my markers for observational/life drawing. The name is kinda on-the-nose and I wanna change it but I can't think of anything better...

If you didn't see my Instagram story earlier this week I had over 20 prints/$300+ worth of art stolen from me at my local antique mall. All my stock there is gone. Thankfully the suspect was caught on security cameras (the same man stole everything, and it was not easy because everything was scattered around my friend's booth so this was very deliberate) and we filed a police report but I'm not feeling optimistic about any of this :,) Nothing else was stolen from the booth even though my friend had so much more objectively valuable stuff, so I'm left with so many questions. I'm fine for now, but this is a frustrating and confusing setback.

Do you think some oldhead is tickling his pickle to my art? (Be honest)

Swagborg (this is the most effort I have ever put and will ever put into chibi hands)

More art from January because I've been busy with school, but I am learning lots and having fun!!! I was reading the opm manga at this time and got inspired by Murata's art, he makes drawing dynamic poses look effortless (when it is not)

Valentine's day cards if they were freaking epic

I've wanted to do this since LAST YEAR but the wait was worth it!!! (I actually drew this back in January I was excited ok) The text is from a vintage valentine's day card I found online and what I based this piece on!

Statica doodle from January... yeas I've decided she will be my ponysona, I still love Glittr but Statica feels more "me." (I always almost forget to draw her twintails)

I miss my ponies, I'll draw them more soon!

Slimeborg you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your bitch is too bad. they’ll kill you

Zombie furry Slimborgy because I saw a post about zombie fungus-infected spiders! (I was also inspired by diaphonized animals for the slime parts) Their og design isn't going anywhere I just badly wanted a blue/grey oc bc blue/grey is MY color scheme

Also we both have grey eyes now yaaaay

"Best Friends" acrylic w/ glitter hot glue, holographic wrapping paper, and gem details, 8 x 10 in. Started and finished 1/24.

2/5 daily paintings for my painting 2 class, each class day we work on a new painting! One of my insecurities that my art isn't unique enough and therefore not worth making but the solution is just to make something so random yet oddly specific that you're confident no one has ever done it before. Sorta wish I had more time to polish this further but that's the fun of these daily paintings. (Could you tell I love drawing these little Genos plushies)

"Joy Everywhere" acrylic w/ posca, glitter hot glue, and kandi bead details, 8 x 10 in. Started and finished 1/22.

1/5 daily paintings for my painting 2 class, each class day we work on a new painting! Reference picture also by me, I was eating cereal for breakfast and scooped up a smiley and knew immediately I wanted to paint it. I love the kandi beads especially, I thrifted a huge bag of these and wanna use them for more projects (they glow in the dark too!)

Hoping to post the entire series of these as I finish and document them!

2/2 of the winter paintings! Ft. more old ocs, this is the pre-evolution to the guy I drew for cringetober and I thought they'd be perfect for a scene like this!
