Doodle.

Saw a bunch of AI-stolen Ghibli "art" from friends' feeds on Facebook, I had to express my sentiment in a drawing when words failed me.

AI was supposed to help with the repetitive, mundane and possibly dangerous tasks, so that people can put more time in fun and creative pursuits. Not the other way around.

@fluffbruary #1: Dark | Defend | Wander

After [checks watch] 12 days struggling to start, I took to my pens and doodled this. I didn't plan on actually drawing this, but since I had a half-baked concept in my head, I just went ahead and did it anyway. Just to start something.

Someone in the Rinch Discord server posted a picture of this military-inspired apron, and I thought, this is definitely John's apron at home. 😆

This was originally for @aheroinasuit's BigBang fic, Tinderbox

I wasn't happy with the initial concepts I sketched out (the pose, their expressions) so I went with what's currently posted as part of POI Big Bang.

After finishing Big Bang, I thought I'd come back to finish this piece. While it may still fit in one of the earlier scenes in the story, I felt that the other work illustrated a very dramatic scene better, imho. But I liked this piece, regardless, so I went and inked it.

I was going to color it digitally, but I wasn't so motivated to do it, so I busted out the watercolors... and then tweaked the a spot of color on John's jacket and face digitally. 😅 It might not have been as good as it could have been if colored digitally, but I couldn't get the same sense of fulfillment when drawing and painting old school.

I really need to paint on better paper. 😁

Artober #17 (Root) and #18 (Wildflowers)

Thought I'd put Root in a flower crown of wildflowers. ^^

I thought I messed up big time when I kept layering colors on her jacket because I wasn't satisfied with the color (below). The end result is still not great. I was playing around to see the limits of the sketchbook, but I guess that was it.

Artober #15 (Staff) and #16 (Cottage)

Forgot to post this! As you can see on the watermark. ^^;

I was thinking of simply abandoning Artober altogether when October ended. The concept I had in my head for this prompt was too detailed that I doubt I could do it. But one day, I took my little cheap sketchbook and just... did it. and here we are.

Artober 8 (Bleed), 9 (Skull), 10 (Scarecrow)

I'm late, but I'm keeping at it.

I liked how this turned out once the ink wash was added. ☺️✒️

I used Scarecrow 5E (a DnD monster) as reference and replaced the face with a skull.

Kuroro's ability is to steal other nen user's ability, which he stores in and call up from a book. ✋🏼📕

I've been itching to use a nib pen all week! Glad I figured out a simpler concept for these prompts and scratched the nib pen&inkurge. 😁
