trying out new brushes, and in return receiving the artistic equivalent to an identity crisis

[trashblognumberone]

So I was tagged in this thing via Timeywimeyurl (go check out that blog) 

1. What’s your favorite thing in this world?

books or computer or boyfriend 

2. What’s the last song you listened to? 

I think it was Nicotine but I'm not sure ??? 

3. What do you dream will happen during your life? AKA if you could choose one thing to happen what would you choose?

Moving in with my boyfriend hopefully 

4. What was the first character you ever fell in love* with? (Could be from anything. Example: books, video games, movies, TV shows, etc, etc. *love in the context of wanting to be friends with/having a giant connection. Basically what was the first character who made you think: wow, I didn’t know fictional folks could be so rad.

Probably House from House M.D. 

5. If you could give one thing to one person who would it be, what would you give, and why. 

I would give my boyfriend happiness, because he deserves it. 

6. If you could get any pet, what would you get?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hedgehog 

7. Favorite quote and why

Ummmmmmmmm "to infinity and beyond" because it seems like you'd go farther than infinity for the person you're saying it to, and that's what love and friendship is. 

8. Do people deserve second chances? If so, to what extent? 

Maybe, depending what they did, If someone stole or cheated, absolutely not. But it if it was a bad decision or mistake, maybe. 

9. If you could figure out if there truly was a god/God/etc/etc would you? Why/why not?

No, because I simply don't rely on a higher power for anything. It doesn't matter to me.

I'd go to all the  concerts and crowd surf :c

patchthewolf replied to your photo:Ayyy, it me.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE A KAWAII JAPANESE GIRL OR SOMETHING

What even?! Is this real life? I'm laughing way too hard... And what do you mean, I though I am a kawaii japanese girl or something

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

slowly developing an actual eye for shape.

was doodling a bit to properly experiment, and this was the nicest of the bunch.

[:pride_icon_2025:]

Don't forget to be yourself.

(almost feels weird having patch as the icon… but only almost.)

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

tried a different style with this one, can confidently say it works!!

expect more of it cause i feel like i am in love with it.

AN: 4/14 comes again. happy bday patch.

"…"

"some days, i forget just how much doing something like this matters"

"…?"

"every time we do something like this, my problems seem just a bit smaller, like i can breath properly once more."

"...yeah."

"something on your mind?"

"…just admiring the sunset."

really proud of how the clothing turned out on this one. i definitely put to much time into the line work, but it shows :3

same with the shading, a lot of effort that i feel like shows

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

collection of sketches i did in a very small resolution.

for fun <3

[rose bed.]

not a night in your rose bed,

and not the evening rain,

alt version without the watercolor background.

i think some of the detail of the stems was lost with it.

[ :-| ]

mostly just a test for the watercolor brushes in clip.

and their fur pattern.

[:peace:]

sketchy.

some days i forget just how much fun it is just draw.

AN: i should do more of this. i had been pushing myself to go for more complete pieces, but i think a sketch dump every now and then is good for my soul.

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

"…?"

messing around with weird angles and opacity.

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

spent way too much time on this one ngl.

not even sure it shows.

still learning shading and lighting, this was mostly an exercise for that

along with using a different set of brushes than what i usually do.

AN: i also recorded a time lapse of this one! you can see it as a speed paint here

ANN: i guess i have a YT now too...

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

redraw conglomeration of two separate old pieces.

i almost uploaded this one twice and then looked at the thumbnail and hastily made changes.

--------------------------------------------------------

as the year draws it's end, so does this challenge.

this bit of reflection, and the accompanying mosaic, a selection of the works i personally enjoyed the most, serves as the final piece. 366/366

i have spent arguably both too much and not enough time on this, and honestly?

i think it was worth it.

i have made an insane amount of progress as an artist, to the point where i feel both pride in my work, and in myself.

pride being something i rarely felt for my creations, much less myself.

for the longest time, i have always felt like i was incomplete to some regard, and that incompleteness was irreparable.

i think i can repair it now, but the process is going to be slow, and perhaps even painful, along with taking some time.

so, as most likely expected and anticipated, i am taking a short hiatus from drawing.

i will most likely still be active here, so no need to wave goodbye, as i will be back to drawing in a month or two.

AN: Hi, My name is Embers. I realize i never did give a name, but that's because i never truly had one picked for myself. i think this time though, it's going to stay for a long while.

ANN: i had most of this written before i went and made the mosaic, but scrolling through my old work to find drawings i liked really says it all <3.

--------------------------------------------------------

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

it's not often i draw all three together… (if ever?)

even though they are all supposed to be relevant to each other…

whatever.

in spirit of today's day of thanks, nothing truly brings people together like a story.

BT0Z-113 definitely has more than her own fair share of interesting tales to spin.

an: and it's only now when i have reached here, have i noticed i completely forgot to render Patch's lower half. goddamnit.

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

365/366

feels good.

spent basically all day on this, and was well worth my time.

still need to get better at watercolors, but that will come in due time.

for now, i am mostly done.

just tomorrow left.

AN: of course, there is somethings i would have done differently or better, but i think that it's fitting. it's a culmination of everything before it, after all.

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

nom

i've always loved grape candy, even the more artificial tasting ones.

people always say it tastes like medicine, and i would agree, i happen to also like the taste of grape medicine.

i wish i could have rendered the candy better, but that is something for another day.

AN: i think i spent equal amounts of time on the candy and Patch…

[smoldering-embers-the-fox]

still have to animate it…

and the shading also still needs some work too.

w/e, am still happy with how it turned out.
