I've improved at drawing backgrounds A LOT in general at least. Proud of myself :)

This is the piece I contributed to 華胥之國, a private DragonFox anthology I was invited to. You can see the other participant works by browsing this hashtag on Twitter or visiting the project account here!

#魔道祖師 #忘羨 #mdzs #wangxian #my art #my art 2023 #dragonfox au #anthology contributions #華胥之國 #i drew this back in january of this year #so the art is quite old now #and i would definitely do some things differently if i were to draw it now #but i learned a lot from painting this piece #so it's all good i guess haha #just trying to improve a bit at a time per piece

Kang Yo Han in his natural habitat, as observed by Kim Ga On

OR

You want to fuck that old man so bad it makes you look stupid

#The Devil Judge #Kang Yo Han #Gahan #Art #Fan Art #KDrama #Well #The Gahan is implied #If not before then definitely after that last sketch #This is what I've been doing the past three weeks xD #Just drawing a lot #Because I wanted to practice on sketching #And colouring those sketches in a way that's quick but also looks good #The difference between the first and last sketch is kind of hilarious #Especially on the skin #Improvement: Speedrun Edition #These took between three to seven hours each #And I'm very happy with them! #Even if they're also far from as perfect as I could make them if I spent more time on them #But the whole challenge was to not overwork them #So yeah #These are still sketches in my eyes xD #I'm getting REALLY good at the blurry backgrounds

In honor of Dracula Daily I’m going to be reposting Jonathan Harker’s Adventures in Castle Dracula, aka some little comics I made into a zine in 2017/18. Here’s the cover (og red and the pink version that ultimately looked better in print)

And of course, happy Lizard Fashion day

#dracula #dracula daily #though these arent like a good example of the way my art looked in 2017 cuz they were all rapid fire doodles. my art has improved a lot. #and it’s also interesting to see just the way going from mostly digital to mostly traditional changed my art. like the lack of lineweight #on these? crazy. I just dont really draw like that any more #anyway slim chance but if there’s anyone here on tumblr who actually bought a physical one of these zines from me when I sold them at #SCAD’s mini comics con: I love you. I hope the staples didnt fall apart on your copy lol god knows I stapled them like a maniac #jonathan harker’s adventures in castle dracula

id sell my left soul and my lung for more disabled Ben 10 aliens please omg

<3

hope i did okay this time around; still getting back into the swing of things

#also don't sell your soul and lungs though YOU NEED THOSE LOL- #thanks for the ask!! #i wasn't able to communicate this in this set but i had another doodle with armodrillo #they had some minor sensory issues and a glove/sleeve that acts as a 'compression hoodie' and helps with that... #but armodrillo already has that springlock in his arm so I scrapped the idea ;_; #i wish i had put a bit more research into this set; a lot of these were ideas i had in my head and chipped away at for a couple weeks... #please let me know if i could improve on anything- i certainly wouldn't want t hurt or offend anyone #anyway that's all. thank you and have a good night! #art #digital art #doodles #ben 10 #ben 10 fanart #ben 10 aliens #ben 10 alien force #ben 10 ultimate alien #ben 10 omniverse #rath #echo echo #ripjaws #snare-oh #cannonbolt #jolt rambles #end my suffering

Modelled a little forge for my blacksmith Pearlcatcher, Ember :3

Yes, he has a wooden workbench and a barrel full of coal next to an open flame,, his ass is NOT sornieth osha compliant!

also i may have forgot his pearl and whiskers uhhh just pretend he left the pearl inside and he burnt his whiskers off when he leaned over the fire one time (again... he is not operating a safe business by any means)

plus some wip pics if youre into that sort of thing

and heres what hes gonna look like once i gene him up! still need to save up for a trans scroll and all the genes lol

#fr fanart #flight rising art #flight rising #pearlcatcher #blender 3d #low poly #3d model #flight rising pearlcatcher #flight rising fanart #fr fanart friday #what even is the fr friday art tag anymore asjdhsfdsjh it changed at one point and idk what it is now #anyway this took me like 3ish days? im putting it in wip hell for now but it looks pretty good as is so im happy #i havent messed around in blender for a long time cos i made like 3 attempts and did so terrible each time #but apparently i learned something each time from the failures since it felt a lot easier this time #i can tell im not using the cleanest or most efficient techniques and i know nothing about nodes xD but im slowly improving!! #anyway im taking a break from modelling to work on comms again now! and to look for a job sdkfj #mine #my art #finn.txt

[thegirlsinthecity]

This one is for the lovely @kalevalakryze ! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your amazing fics!

This idea is once again pulled from their fic Mine over on AO3 :)

#star wars #ahsoka #wolfwren #sabine wren #shin hati #ahsoka series #ahsoka show #sabine wren x shin hati #star wars fanart #my art #thegirlsinthecity #okay when I read this scene it stuck in my head for days #(i had to get the dyeing image out of my brain first to be able to work on this one but once it was done? I immediately started this one #It’s such a good fic and a very cute scene!! #i hope you like it :) #i’m actually pretty proud of myself on this one #still lots to learn but i am improving i feel like #the lighting is what took me the longest because no matter how many videos i watched about light i still don’t get it #i also tried really hard to make the faces a focal point by rendering that area more than the rest. i originally had more detail on the rest #but it distracted from what should be the focus #also i am a perfectionist and often lose sight of the bigger image… note to self it doesn’t matter if something is rotated 37 vs 38 degrees. #no one will notice you don’t have to waste an hour deciding on if a single pixel should be added or not #also note to self phone will crash multiple times as soon as more than 30 layers are involved #also note to self overlay is your best friend #but yeah probably the first time i’ve looked at something i’ve made and been like ‘holy fuck i did a good job’ #also you know what? i will be shameless and put my own damn art in my favourites tag if i want to because i’m so proud of myself #favourites #tumblr is compressing my image quality >:( it actually looks so much crisper in my camera roll #adhd rambling sorry got off track here

redrew my old art from 2019 again for good bro day :) ('19 ver, '21 ver)

bonus:

nero to the rescue yet again <3

#i made everyone really emotional last year so i figured i'd be a little funny for this year lmao #i still love this piece a lot... and its fun to see how my art's improved over the years :) #last year's were really good too i'll rb them later #devil may cry #vergil(dmc) #dante(dmc) #nero(dmc) #allyart #cw // blood #da shit twins... they mean so much to me you dont understand </3

[lunarharp]

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

#to cheer me up.. i feel bad atm.. these things don't even make me feel very good tho bc i'm such a narrative/sketch-based artist.. #but Proper Beautiful Finished Pieces are what grab attention and look good at the end of the year all neatly lined up lol..... #so looking at a “yearly review” where i can only choose 'the best image of the month' (??) is like...What have i even been doing... #i did a month by month look back on twt for myself instead..but even that doesn't express the quantity of comic-based stuff.. #that i do put a lot of time/heart into..but alas i feel bad bringing even them back..RTing/reblogging my own art simply feels bad lol.. #AND WHY IS IT ALL B&W...trying to accept that i LIKE doing that and sketching and scribbling..not like i'm trying to like..Get Artist Job.. #this year was so profoundly lonely at times bc i spent all my time drawing instead of socialising and trying to find friends.... #please please please have achieved more of your dreams in the future so you can look back at 2023 and think.. #It was good that happened so that it got me further to the future. Or whatever i guess..................... #regardless i did have a great amount of fun drawing and improving this year and dwelling deeply & heavily on witch hat atelier. #art-wise and emotionally....march july & september were the best months i think..AUGUST WAS SO WEIRD SUMMER IS SO EVIL ALWAYS. #thank you very much if you are reading this for enjoying & leaving nice tags & such like <3 i've realised how fulfilling that is to receive #really keeps me posting stuff here instead of keeping it all to myself in my head #i wish everyone in this world could have a safe and happy end of year. i wish living in this world were easier

#good grief im gettin a lil tired of seeing 'DONT DO THIS' kinda art videos #i very much understand its a youtube thing and that clickbait names and thumbs get the views and attention needed #but it doesnt mean it doesnt annoy me or that I cant be annoyed by it #sometimes i just see it in tutorial pictures too #but the large DONTS with red Xs near the supposed ''wrong'' way of drawing is so demotivating #people start and draw in many ways than one #its what makes art their own #but when videos or tutorial posts are made and show the ''WRONG'' way to go about it #its like scolding the new artist or long time artist with that style that they're doing it wrong and that its bad #no matter the intention its not the way to go about helping artists learn to draw #and in my personal opinion #the click bait ''DONT DO THIS WHEN DRAWING'' thing is what keeps me from actually watching the vids #i get theyre probably helpful but i don't like that I have to feel some NEED or DESIRE to click on a vid cause I feel like I did a thing #wrong or that i never should have done it at all #i wish i could see more 'here are some tips that helped me #kinda vids cause yes i would love to learn what helped you rather than being or feeling wronged for drawing in a way that isn't theirs #im rambling but i have been seeing a lot of 'DONT DO THIS' NEVER DO THIS' 'IF YOURE DOING THIS STOP NOW' kinda art vids #im speakin for myself here #but im an artist sifting through art youtube or spaces always willing to learn new ways of improving my art #i dont need to feel click baited like the next 3am don't this kid to learn how to improve my inking skills #if it was more a 'this is my personal preference and I wanna share it with my audience and maybe teach some things' kinda vid #id watch that too #but im just so tired of seeing art youtube going down this need to tell folks 'YOURE DOING IT ALL WRONG. THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY"

LAST BUNCH OF BEHEADED DOODLES UNTIL I WAKE UP LATER.. i was rlly nervous about starting to upload art online, but having a reason to draw is really helping me and i want to thank you guys for even liking my art :^)

Whole lot of rambling in the tags lol

#dead cells #dead cells fanart #dead cells bobby #dead cells beheaded #im getting more confident in my ability to draw and i want to thank you guys for it #my art hasnt felt good enough recently and ive really improved by getting myself to draw and get my stuff out there #i think its because i see people my age who are drawing way better than me and it makes me feel like i havent dedicated enough time #and practice to my art #so thank you guys a lot for interacting with my posts and stuff #its been a really pleasant surprise getting so many likes and stuff on my art #artists like saltyfinalboss (go check them out :^) have been a huge inspiration to me since i even started on tumblr #thats actually the artist that made me want to play dead cells #i saw their art and was like #woah! that game looks cool!

[klonoadoortophantomile]

[skydreamplayzz]

- stuff on eyes not his blood -

-same goes for him-

Used the same pose/ drawing just diffrent colors for both bc on the Old Ref i did the same.

Adding information later. (maybe) 🧍‍♂️

There wasn't enough space for both to go on a drawing.. Soo 😶

#undertale oc #undertale #undertale au #sans oc #art #Purewhite!sans #Pitchblack!sans #I still remember a lot of Things i drew about them. #In the past #My Art looked so weird back then.. - #But improvement is good ig.. #And idk why i made them stronger then half of my ocs- #Lil innocent looking creatures not so innocent. #WELL they are they dont abuse their Powers. #I forgot somthing - #Eh whatever #🕺

[feytouched]

there's a certain sense of existential despair as a stylized line artist trying to learn how to paint in any capacity. yeah i render my regular drawings a little but what do you mean no outlines. it breaks my brain a little and i start feeling like i once did when i was 12 and i would stare at every art piece i come across for 2 hours and marvel and the impossibility and beauty of it. anyway i think it's healthy

#even if i always remain a sketch-and-lineart gal i think it will improve my art in general to try my hand at this #doing a somersault off my comfort zone and straight into the deep end #this makes me wish i had some sort of formal training in art bc there's just. so much to learn #and i'm speaking as a professional artist! this is my everyday job! #but self-taught sometimes feels limiting yknow. i feel like i'm at the base of mt everest looking at the climb ahead #getting started is the hardest part and i know i'm gonna make lots of shitty art pieces before i Get it #which is the annoying part i've always been the sort of person who wants to be good at something right away or not at all #anyways we endure & persevere #ką sako lapė

2023 art summary ヽ(´w｀) i ended up not posting most of my stuff for the latter half (yet) but i’m really happy with a lot of what i worked on!!!!!

#my art #art summary #2023 art summary #art school is actually so fun sometimes did you know that. i made so many fun comics and experimented with new stuff. sometimes i wasn’t #any good at what i tried but it’s still sooo rewarding when i improved even just a little. and it feels REALLY good #to be able to show off some skills or familiarity with materials that i use less often these days #bc i can show my marker or colored pencil drawings and my classmates who have only seen my digital stuff are excited about it sometimes :-] #bc i really just like working in a lot of different mediums and i’m really thankful that my love for art and art making hasn’t dwindled #even though of course i have dormant periods and times where i don’t feel like making art or i feel frustrated with what i am able to do #it always comes back around. just like how i always feel better whenever i feel depressed #and i just love art and colors and i love the world and the people in it and myself and all the people i have been #anyways i hope you all feel happy or you will soon hugs and kisses goodnight (extremely loud thunk on the floor)

Your art is so beautiful and otherworldly. I love the way you shade and all the minuscule details you add to every work you create. The eye shines on the characters you draw are always so warm, and there’s something so incredibly soft and distinct about the lines you draw. I love seeing your name come across my dash because I know it’s either going to be a really funny reblog or something utterly heartbreakingly beautiful that you’ve created. Your art style fits so well with Rain World and Sky that I genuinely thought you were an official artist for both games. I love and appreciate your dedication to Outer Wilds. I have your drawings and the dialogue list saved in my bookmarks whenever I need to enjoy it again. Your original art and OCs are also just so incredible. You make me want to improve my own art because the things you create inspire me to try harder and do more. You’re so cool and special and amazing and I’m so happy I started following you all those months ago. Thank you. I hope you receive good soup and tasty drinks for the rest of time.

W WA???????????? WAUGHHH?????

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT I

THANK YOU??? SO MUCH???? WAUGHH??????

It’s 2 am anon you can’t DO THIS TO ME— /lh

thank you so much it really means a lot, especially since Ive been having a really hard time with self esteem lately… so… thank you so much for taking the time to say something so kind and thoughtful

I hope you, too, receive All The Good Soup <3 and goodnight I am going the hell to sleep

#awaugh…. Awauhhh…….. crying #I mean I know my art can be *good* sometimes I’m even really proud of how it looks #but *that good?* it isn’t really right? I know I have so many areas I could and should improve in.. #but that only comes with time and practice I guess. #I’m a lot better now than I was a few months ago so… just keep moving forward and maybe i *can* pass for an official artist someday #who knows #thank you so much anon I needed that
