I knew I had a backlog...but I didn't know it was so dire.

I haven't posted much of what I've drawn over the last few years, partially due to drawing less, partially due to the bulk of my drawings being water pad notes.

Since I want to work on and post some newer things too, I'll be working on that for a bit.

With a few exceptions for some more complete works, I'll attempt to post all the sketches together by fandom (or lack thereof) or theme.

Edit: 12/14 In the middle of scanning the scanner app has decided to stop scanning (I already restarted my phone last night over it), though I got the worst out of the way. Since I have a better light set up than previously, most of this won't need a scanner anyway.

4/6/24 .....I'm SO sorry! The old habit of doing a bunch of things at once and then hitting a break point where I end up not completing something, pushing it into a mental box in a corner struck again and I've been trying to remember to look back over things and decide if some of it's even worth posting...

Has a small hole in a piece of clothing: I sleep 😔

Plush comes in the mail with some (possibly) fixable inaccuracies (though some are not fixable, or at least not by me): ...WhEre... Is mY SeAm RiPper (idk why I focused on that of all things, outside I wasn't sure where I'd placed it and it being new.)

I knew ordering from Amazon and not looking too hard for another seller was a gamble going in though. Could have been worse.

I didn't really take in-progess shots but i do have some comparison pics.

As you can see, the pattern is off and the lower part of her crest is missing. Also funky body portions, barely a tail. She came in a, um, air vacuumed bag so I had to attempt to fluff her several times.

Can't really do too much with the embroidery, but thankfully her crest wasn't just not there!

But before that, something a bit simpler, her neck was a bit...long on side view for my liking. Despite my supplies I'm very much an amateur who rarely sews and hasn't actually practiced the type of stitch I was using: at first I did pretty good, but then somehow reversed it...well at least the fabric kind of hides it irl.

At the same time I also put in a few stitches to straighten the angle of her beak, though it's not really visible here.

The legs look different because originally I moved a leg due to her original portions but decided to do other stuff before doing the other--thankfully. Turns out after a few more fluffing sessions and modifications, the original position was best! ...I couldn't get it quite the place it was originally between being tired and the stitching blending, etc.

Next the crest:

...Yeah, there was a lot less in that little nub of disturbed fabric than I hoped, but at least it was there. Unlike elsewhere, the black had some kinda white layering on it that made it a bit difficult to sew, so there was some sticking out in the end after attempts to cover it. At least it added some structure.

Speaking of difficult to stitch, I attempted to do some embroidery around the eyes and crest since I don't have matching fabric...but the toughness, the short stitches, and the fuzzy fabric did me no favors.

Last major thing that did that could be seen already in the last pic: I fluffed her more and pinched in her back a bit to change her shape a bit.

Not sure yet if I'm going to try to find a way to fix up the embroidery attempt or make bigger changes, I don't have matching fuzzy fabric.

For now, I'm just happy with the chibi-ish look she's achieved and she can (sometimes) sit up on her own!

Until I can figure out what has been going wrong with the video (and it doesn't show up when I try to add it in a reblog) here's a link to the only place where the video uploaded in decent quality:

Went to the zoo a few weeks ago. Getting to take pictures of this fellow was certainly one of the highlights of the trip for me. Even as I fought the phone's zoom and the sun, while hoping he stuck around.

Some edits I made for my AO3 collections.

The middle one was more temporary than I meant it to be...

The cats left me alone for a surprisingly long time...then I got up to grab my phone. Surprised it took a minute before Bell stuck his face in the beads.

I wonder how many myths were born of poor eyesight

How many giants are born of trees

   And how many nonexistent gaps appear among the unseen thin branches

The floating lights that lost their containers by blending with the shadows

   Hills born of clouds low on the horizon

       The pale hazy things born of bright moonlight, the pull of the full, and everything in-between.

             And

         the howl

    of something

unknown, unusual,

          and unseen.

Reverie Color/Design Update

Old and Not New But Recently Updated Slightly Sloppily Art

Somehow I never posted the original here (or I keep overlooking it somehow or something), except as part of my Sonic blog’s avatar, so I’m throwing that in too. Originally I just meant to experiment with the new colors I wanted to use and adjust them as needed...but for the last hour or so one of my cats has been sleeping on one of my arms and I couldn’t bring myself to move.

Edit: Because I was too into it I also tried (sloppily) updating a newer piece rather than taking advantage of my freedom from the cat.

Been having Chao thoughts lately.

At first this was just supposed to be a simple thing, just messing with colors, then remembering that I always forget to give a certain oc a new doll, then remembering that out of nowhere that oc’s futuristic music/video player suddenly got turned into an AI while thinking of scenarios--let’s make that!

Whether I keep with this idea later or not, who knows.

Made using Chao Viewer on Chao-Island.

Somehow this single page turned into an all day affair, of course;;;;

I originally intended to draw Nova younger and being a literal ankle biter to Surge, but I ended up doing her hair and drawing her older instead, well older Nova's kinda cool though, maybe another day...I should probably make an actual younger looking design though;;;;

The scanner app (and apparently the pencil sketches) messed with the colors a bit, so I tried to correct it, but I probably just need to use the actual scanner.

WIP/doodle

Trying to get back into drawing and posting more wips and things in general. This is the stage where it either takes me a few days or several months.

Inspired by a scene in "Would you like to Dance?" by Zonerz on AO3!

Really bad at self motivations: sketch suggestions welcome as long as its SFW, simple, and within my interests. (The more current the more likely I’ll respond.)

There are art and writing memes and prompts on my other blogs that can be used too. (Though for the writing prompt stuff I’ll likely only expand on ones with fandom prompt tags or ideas in the tags.)

No guarantees though, especially for direct responses, my outside motivation tends to be only slightly better.

(I don’t always remember to post things so if it’s been a while and I’ve been posting other things it’s okay to ask about it. Or ask if I have any sketches I haven’t posted in general.)
