Yeah, I’m just feeling really crappy this week.

But I’m glad I’m venting and making new kinds of work.

[draw-a-lot-bear]

Another vent piece.

I’m just angry at myself for stupid, past stuff...

[draw-a-lot-bear]

Feeling very unmotivated recently. This felt good for a warm-up, so I hope to get back into things soon. Also, I made this my iPhone background

A series of Halloween-themed illustrations! I’m going to print, laminate, and hang them on a friend’s dorm room door for decoration!

The last sketch was drawn by our good friend, @biqueuerious, who is depicted as the headless pumpkin spirit.

(There’s also a story that we all came up with for our monster versions; I may create some art related to it in the future!~)

Uploading this angry piece of broccoli again from early 2017, because the original post setup didn’t show up on my homepage full site view >:0

Another Kirby gijinka concept! A super fun and fulfilling illustration that depicts the outfit from the front in a fully-realized illustration! 

Which ability should I make next? Or would you guys want a simpler sketch of Kirby doing a cute thing?~ Just let me know!

Let me tell you guys a little story: A couple months before posting this now, I had an artistic crisis. I was trying to draw something, but the thought of how I couldn't build an audience on any of the platforms that I posted art to really hit me hard. I was actually emotionally unable to bring myself to draw––utterly demolished. I actually cried about it. For me, I have never actually gotten art block before, and this was the real thing, hitting me full-force for the first time. Two months pass, and I'm back in school for the fall. My ex, Lorena (we get along great, but it's very complicated as of writing this), sees that I'm just really out of sorts. Honestly, I was depressed. Despite this, Lorena proposes a challenge to me: to finish a commission for a friend that I had accepted month or so prior, all in two weeks. I accepted, but I was really out of practice. I warmed up fairly slowly with some transformative work that tested my skill of decomposing drawings I made down to the simplest form. It was tough to say the least, but fun. When planning is put into action, this challenge would have been a cinch. I am a habitual procrastinator––take a guess. The deadline was on Monday, September 24th, 2018, and I was only a third of the way done with the commission––I still needed to ink the two characters and color them. That said, the consequence of not meeting Lorena's deadline was that I had to burn a drawing that she made two weeks prior to that Monday. She doesn't draw often and I love it when she does.. So this really hit me hard, and put my procrastination into perspective for the umpteenth time. This realization really sank in, though. My lack of planning actually hurt someone. I made Lorena cry. I really felt like shit; I sulked for ten minutes. I would have sulked longer if Lorena didn't try to talk to me after she composed herself. To my surprise, she forgave me to an extent the same night, and I was back on my feet with some caring words from her. Since then, Lorena and her constant support have been driving me to better myself. If I can't help myself, how can I help anyone else? This picture symbolizes a true artistic revival––nothing compared to posting hiatuses for months on end. Pure revival of passion and perseverance, and I'm striving for a change this time.

Hey-o, another watercolor! This was an Instagram commission that I did a couple of months ago, and it was really fun––got back into crisp inking again.

[draw-a-lot-bear]

Here's a redraw of a character that I first created at least four years ago––wow!  I used a really cool watercolor brush in Clip Studio with this one, and I'm hooked on the pastel texture that it brings! Also, his eyes are to diiee foorrr~

A picture that I wanted to make of @biqueuerious’s newest persona, Polaris!

Their character is so cool!~

A goofy pic that turned into a character creation; his name is ‘Blue Gun Garrison’

You have no idea how much I love this~
