What do you mean I’m a bit late for Janus’ big day? Of course not, how could you say such a thing! I definitely didn’t forget all about it in my absence and only get reminded in the incorrect quotes video live chat; that’s not like me at all ;]

Anyways I decided to dress our sassy snake in some different outfits I think he’d like. He seems like the type to get all dolled up on his birthday and it goes with Thomas posting pics in outfits inspired by the sides on their appreciation days!

How on earth do you clean up a sketch?

#he was going to be holding the flashlight but screw that. turns out it’s incredibly difficult to draw in perspective #also it looked a little too similar to the official cover art #i feel like I’m able to draw his proportions a lot better than when I first did a year ago #i still can’t draw shoes though lol. bless you Deviant Art reference my one holy savior #sketch #traditional art #kim kitsuragi #disco elysium #disco elysium fanart

I could not resist the urge to sketch the Pangur (from @pangur-and-grim)! She looked so cute and mighty, I hope I did her justice enough 💚

#I'll be honest with you #pangur looks so absurd in her proportions that i decided to use a more geometric style #i hope this doesn't offend her fluffiness #love you Pangur #im glad your mouth feels much better #i also discovered just how hard it is to paint a *white* cat using watercolors #but pangur was well worth the trouble #also #i sent this to my sister and included the reference pic #and her reaction was 'i thought your drawing was oddly shaped but it turns out she is really just like that' #she agreed that she is really cute though #watercolors #sketch #my amateur art #cats of the internet #pangur

Look at this pathetic old man trying to chill in front of his little hut XD when did drawing faces become so impossibly difficult???

#moshi monsters #sweet tooth moshi monsters #experimentation i am COG AWFUL at digital dear goodness i was playing with coloring and transparency and all those fun digital doodads. #next time i probably wont have black outline or i'll do it differently. or i'll try well. not doing this. it sure was a process im #i'm an amateur everyone who masically only doodles. does the sketch look better than the final. kinda! but thats okay because im learning #and y'know what. sometimes in life you just need to draw faves no consequences #for how saturated a character they are i kinda feel like i pastelled things too muc and trapped myself with my convoluted layer setup but m #it was looking WEIRD with everything at full force #maybe the sparkles look dumb maybe the hair looks dumb and out of place and why i kinda made the lollipop a little funky too #uhh. first digital piece posted... ever? #the arm is SO fucky i am not that was. thats not what perspective is spam #yes this is what i spent a good chunk of today doing after i started working on coloring it and then. decided to go for it. #cooolrs a little inaccurate on the horns and such but man one of the biggest art things was like #i dont have to have everything at their perfect hex codes all the time. this would look way worse if i just. used their standard colors #yeah this is. instead of looking like its forward and to the right it kinda just looks like they have a Bigger hypno-lolly #especialy becase. i did not bother on the gloves and platforms i the sparkles work with 2 kinda sorta but you know #im practicing! i'm learning! i'll get better and learn how to do things more effectively! #anyway. sweet toof #though hey their arm looks even more fucked in the line art and sketch SO #note to future self have a Consistent Line Art Size so that if you feel like the line art looks like shit during coloring you dont have to #gamble on what size it was while changing it #sketch lollipop looks better i should have kept it small. but its fine. we'll get em next time boys (tm) #yes i know my gif post was so fancy and then the drawing is just THIS

Rushed this one because I NEED to get to sleep but. Relating to my earlier post. I have one weakness.

#atari.png #❥ the prince and the little mermaid #Though they're kind of bad I like making little comics/sketches like these I feel like they show off the dynamic better ww #Anyway I'm basing this sort of thing off of the fact that I'm truthfully not very expressive IRL #So I guess I accidentally project a cooler image to people than I intend to. They don't know. They don't know I'm in love with a 2d loser.

Not much has been shared yet for the Nicky day of the week which has me thinking that *I* wanna draw a Nicky to share but... That would require... Drawing and... Liking what I draw...

#I should draw though it's been a minute #I wanna draw Sparrow too... maybe even a demon Sparrow... #:/ But unfortunately to get better at art you gotta make more of the art #And it's hard for me to not get discouraged very quickly #And I'm always so embarrassed when I do share my drawings lmao #That's why I don't use an art tag- don't want people finding that shit lmao #Props to gigi though for scavenging my blog like a raccoon for an oldish glenn sketch that one time tho LMAO #She earned that #:0 I still mostly like that Nicky I have as my banner but I feel like I've never been as pleased with a drawing I've done of him since #Oh Cal if you're reading this- you were talking the other day about wishing you were more of a writer to express what visual art can't #And I *totally* felt that from the opposite end LOL #(I do get insecure about my writing but like not as much) like ''THIS WOULDN'T WORK AS A FIC THIS WAS MEANT TO BE A 4 PANEL COMIC" #Or just like ''I want to *show* you this character design'' not idk. Write about it. #Also I can keep my attention drawing for much longer than writing lol- writing fiction anyways #Man. ANYWAYS.

Your mistake is that you were supposed to just doodle Dante and you presented a masterpiece

aw thanks anon :'D

#this does make me feel a little better... im glad ppl liked the sketch... #but the mistakes are still bothering me quite a bit so im thinking abt maybe working on the sketch more when i have time... #i appreciate everyones nice comments though :') #anonymous #allyanswers

a boye whom'st loves to attack paper balls

#cats #nhgnhmmm.. yommy... paper favorite food #(I do not actually let him eat paper) #ALSO I'm still working on doing the poll adventure thing I've just had a lot going on. as usual. It's actually harder than #I initially thought to regularly find time to do a quick ms paint sketch and a small writing blurb #it's like even though it doesn't take extremely long it's still one of those things that is hard to carve out a little portion of the day #to do if your day is set up in a way not conducive to portion carving #BUT .. at least I have posted many drafts #as usual.. my style of like.. post nothing for 3 weeks then randomly post 25 things at once #NO idea why my brain works that way. it just does. it's easier #even though I know it's worse in terms of like. social media #the algorithms in most places prefer consistent steady uploads over time. not jarringly wavering between absence and hyper presence #then absence again. but .. alas... #Good to clear out a few drafts once in a while anyway. And I do really want to get back to scullptures and costumes. I stopped as much for #a while due to the pandemic (can't go to the bins anymore to get new supplies for costumes and stuff) as well as my worsened #health things/lack of energy and also my chest injury (so repetitive movements with my arms such as sitting in the same #position sculpting for 4 hours or changing clothes multiple times in quick succession etc. could flare it up) but obviously #none of those things are going to get better any time soon. so I should probably just try to do it here and there anyway. It's still not #safe to go to the bins. still having muscle problems. still low energy. But I could make it work maybe. I just feel bad having gotten out #of the habit when it is really fun stuff that I enjoy. Some things just get more difficult for me over time #But even like 3 sculptures and 10 costumes a year is better than 0 of any of those things. So. eh #I'm also just trying to clear out pictures still. My spring cleaning (which I do at the start of every new year instead of actual spring) #was kind of delayed this year due to me feeling sick and everything so even late into april I'm still working on the side at like orgnazing #all of the files on my computer. deleting things and backing up whatever I want to keep. clearing out photos. #editing and drafting (and maybe one day posting) old stuff form a while ago. etc. etc. #So any progress is good progress. I suppose. #ANYWAY.... a son... he gets very excited everytime he hears anyone anywhere crinkle up a piece of paper

lookin at my framed pic of mine for comfort is the worst thing i could have ever conceptualized to do because instead of feeling any relief i can distinctly hear him in his godly english call me a dipshit

I tend to forget how much I love traditional art until I see someone highly skilled doing it in person

#there were so many people at the con today drawing/sketching and so much of it was so stunning #makes me want to practice more and also actually learn how to draw manga like 13 year old me wanted to #I just always see so much digital art everywhere and I do not have digital art tech or skills #but I will try and replicate those styles with pencils and it never really works out #and traditional art never seem to get as much boost online which is a bummer #idk. it just feels like everyone does digital art and sometimes it gets to me and makes me think that's how I Have to draw #or that if I had digital materials I would draw more or be better or something #even though I've always just really loved pencil and pen art #also watercolors. but that's a whole other skill lmao

An inch from Mrs. Kageyama’s face, something forceful tore her shoulders back. Isa strained forward, leaking desperation to connect the tag with Mrs. Kageyama’s face. She was hauled back instead. And when her head snapped around she found Mr. Kageyama behind her, his arms snaked up and locked beneath her armpits.

“Let me go! That’s not your wife!”

He stood silent, unmoving, hazy eyes staring past her.

“Oh don’t ask him for back up. He’s not gonna help you huehuehue.” The voice grated against Isa’s ears. Her head snapped forward. Mrs. Kageyama stood tall, one hand extended with fingers spread. Her fingers wiggled with the illusion of tugging string. “It’s real hard puppeting two of these things at once. Good thing I’m good at it. I’m a real class-act at possession. Ritsu knows this. Ritsu should pay me more, donchya think?”

Isa gave one more pointless, desperate tug. “That’s his parents. He’ll exorcise you when he finds ou—”

“Will he?”

Isa’s words died in her throat at the sight of Mrs. Kageyama’s grin slipping wider, smugger, a fire dancing in her eyes.

“Who d’ya think ordered me to do this?”

(A Breach of Trust - Chapter 38, by @phantomrose96​)

As is tradition, I gotta celebrate the most recent breaking of  art block with some old-ish ABoT fanart made almost entirely of OCs XD

[ID: A digital black-and-white pencil illustration depicting the characters Isa Maki and Mrs. Kageyama as portrayed in phantomrose96′s MP100 fic A Breach of Trust. Isa is dressed in her police uniform and stares in horror at the possessed Mrs. Kageyama in front of her, whose grin is inhumanly wide as she hunches over to meet Isa’s terrified eyes with her own hazy, pupil-less ones. Behind Isa, the possessed Mr. Kageyama stands partly off screen, twisting his arms beneath her armpits and interlocking his fingers behind her head so that she cannot move. /end ID]

#abot #a breach of trust #isa maki #akane kageyama #mrs. kageyama #man it has been AGES since I've used these tags it feels SO GOOD to be back #I know this scene is like seven chapters ago but it still lives rent-free in my head #still proud of this one even though it's a while ago now #that sketching took SO long but it was SO satisfying #I actually like it better than the colored version #anyways I suppose this is as good as any way to see if tumblr recognizes me as a person so FINGERS CROSSED THIS SHOWS UP IN THE TAGS #if not then...oh well I guess #might try again might not since this is a lot of typing lol #my attempts at art

#its hard to balance many things at once #stressful life sips into my creative process and some days are good while others can be bad #today i feel...as though im too tired to stare at anything i draw more than 5 minutes so all i can do is fast sketches #idk i just feel gloomy in general T_T i feel so tired and emotionally reserved and i miss my friends alot #i hope i wake up tomorrow with renewed powers #so i can work and draw better #and be able to greet everyone with brighter energies #i want to draw giftart... #gloomy werewolf sigh// #howls pitifully// #I MISS YOUUUUUUUUU ;;;;;;;;;;;; I WANT TO DRAWWWW #I WANT TO FEEL GOODDDDD #BODY PLEASEEE BRAIN PLEASEEE #my hearts in the right place i just feel like nothing matches up at the moment agh...

now consider this proposition o' mine: my not-cobalt-blue 0.7mm mechanical BIC pencil in exchange for the choruses of five songs off the top of your head

#just me hi #HI #this one's a deal trust me!! #also just realized mid-writing this i know a nice lot about these pencils #the erasures are absolute DIRT though and sometimes the graphite will act like plastic against the paper and you'll need to remove the #whole graphite stick to even use the pencil :) #HOWEVER they are a good cheap option bc they come in the Big Boy Packs of like. 20+ i think? definitely more but yeah #but a better option (by a good shot) is Paper Mate 0.7mm #not only is the erasure actually not like skin on paper. but the graphite will NOT be like plastic occasionally!! #oh!! but i like pentel the most it's very nice #the graphite is softer or smoother?? idk which one but it feels nicer to draw w/ #and they're completely refillable so you don't!! have to throw away the part of the pencil that is not A) graphite or B) erasure !! #ALSO the paper mate ones ALSO come in the Big Boy Pack but with some less because they're thicker #wait what #why am i tlaking about pencils what ahppedned #weird. anYway! how're you?? #i had soda and went a drive so i'm just stellar!! :D #cross my heart i'll work on that sketch i promise i swear i absolutely [already eyeballing yt]
