My audition comic for MoxieMooo's Pokemon-themed OCT, Sunburn Showdown! This is the first EVER comic I've been able to work on for over 3 weeks, and as a result I got to practice my use of tones and values a lot more! I am so, so happy with the results and can't wait to be back in the OCT mindset again!

Check out these characters' reference sheets / info HERE! Read the comics on Comicfury HERE!

accelgor! a pokemon that i previously never gave very much thought to, but one day decided to draw because i thought drawing a snail without a shell would be a fun challenge. i used snail dissections as reference and for the design was inspired by scaly foot snails. lines are traditional ink + were colored in digitally.

inescapable timeloop yuri for ultimate OCT champion @vvellerr. these are its characters based on dracula (but yuri) who also ended up winning a whole comics tournament! go check out the comics they're awesome.

i had a lot of fun mixing halftones with painting for the rendering (partly inspired by the jonmina comics themselves haha)!!

started this art about a year ago and planned for it to go with a bigger post about my ideas for angler slimes, but since then a lot of things have changed and will be revised! don't think i'm gonna finish this but it looks nice anyway

[0ystersaucedrawsthings]

background practice. always liked those pieces where artists would just put lots of details and objects in the rooms they drew and tried for that level of detail here myself. i like how the watercolor and pen go together

little moonguys doodles i made forever ago but never posted

GOOD LUCK!

did some CD painting with friends and of course i decided to theme mine around Wallsocket by underscores, one of my absolute favorite musical experiences ever. LOVED playing with the CD'S iridescence for that shiny horseshoe effect. the right side is meant to look like those overhead town blueprints which i have never drawn before but i think it looks pretty good. the back is supposed to have like a camo pattern which was a bit less successful but still looks cool

SMACKDOWN CENTRAL ROUND 1: TRYHARD VS RAHMAD

Here's a comic i made for a fighting-game themed comics tournament featuring my character Tryhard and @asedeiya 's character Rahmad!!!

my first ever fully digital comic! definitely a different experience than my usual ink-and-take-pictures approach haha. done in about 11 days

[0ystersaucedrawsthings]

ITS TRYHARD!!!

this is a character i made for @mithryl-draws + friends' OCT Smackdown Central, which is fighting game themed!

i knew i wanted to have a bug character for this and when i realized that 八卦掌 had a circle walk thing as an integral part of its structure, the honeybee waggle dance parallels were OBVIOUS to me and it all kind of spiraled out of control from there.

Some quest art I finished recently for an RP group. Originally planned on finishing this in a month but I uh... was kinda ambitious with the number of things going on and ended up taking 2 haha. didn't exactly come out as I imagined it in my head but i still think it looks nice. featuring characters by @moonlit-mask @hirundine and SEASCARRED!!!

more art from the bug positivity art series. with this one i wanted to figure out how to show bugs interacting in a way that could be considered affectionate even by people who aren't experienced with them! referenced a lot of movie scenes where couples have romancy kissing scenes. originally i was gonna do pinkish lighting to fit that but i was pressed for time and went with blue instead which i think ruins the mood a little but i like how it looks with the brown!

other pieces in this series:

yellowjacket

paper wasp

more info below the cut

this is a gouache and ink piece i did for a collection of art pieces exploring how insects could be depicted in a more positive light!

i am a really really big fan of wasps, but wasps are also like. one of the most HATED animals out there (especially yellowjackets). with this painting I wanted to figure out how i could depict a nice scene where a person and a wasp were interacting in a non-confrontational way to go against that expectation of wasps always being aggressive and "out to get you".

to make the wasp the focus of the scene, i made everything else grayscale so that it would pop, and also put it way in the foreground so that the level of detail with both subjects would be similar despite the size difference.

with this piece i also wanted to practice portraiture because i still struggle with that and I took a lot of inspiration and reference material from the way faces are rendered in Arcane! I still struggled a bit but I think it turned out ok.

i picked a german yellowjacket to draw/paint because i'd seen one recently and liked the orangey hue of her abdomen

artfight attack of @justspillingcoldtea's character felix! he is a vampire so he absorbs red stuff >:))) my favorite detail here is that the blood on his face is black (getting the red sucked out of it) but the bits on his glasses are still red bc they aren't touching him yet

got a bunch of new brushes and had a fun time testing them out for this!! very happy with the lineart on felix (which i used a default brush for haha)
