I'll never let go, quack

this might be the classic it was funnier in my head, but in my defense i thought it was really funny in my head

its october. I don't have any spooky or halloween art to post ...... but i have this image of a buff duo.

(buff duo isn't real. he can't hurt you. those widgets they keep trying to get you to put on your phone - you can say no. you don't have to let buff duo into your life. you're safe from buff duo. unless you follow me on this day i guess)

anyway happy spooky month

AF drawing for https://artfight.net/~SkipAJ and https://artfight.net/~officialmoonstar

local artist: "lineart is my least favorite part of a drawing." also local artist: "I have been trained by years of reading sailor moon. if something is presented to me as fluffy or having Much hair, then I must draw it with ALL the hair."

AF drawing for https://artfight.net/~leechez

Leechez drew a picture for me in 2020 originally, and then they werent on site again until this year. I was so glad to see them pop up on a team this year so I could finally, finally, FINALLY return the favor for their drawing of my cue. ♥

AF drawing for https://artfight.net/~Drayna

I dont know if ive seen worm on a string ocs before - and if I have, I didnt realize thats what they were. They're so cute? Thats such a cute idea?? I love them???

I didn't get to do much this AF because my pet had other plans for my attention, so this was my only non-revenge attack for the year. I'm so glad I got to draw them, laughs. I spent yonks looking at other worm on a string ocs after this and I love them all

AF drawing for https://artfight.net/~Isayuku

I'm perpetually years behind on revenges on AF. This one was only a year later than their initial attack, which is pretty good, for me.

some referenced sketching to brush up on/improve understanding of

Macaws, boars, kitty paws

i always waffle a lot on if i should upload things like this or leave it alone. I like looking at them when other people do it though, so ... good enough for today i guess

I realized that I never uploaded the full image here. Just the previews. Whoops! Back in 2020 I was very happy to take part in a little slime rancher zine. They made me super anxious by choosing me to do a two-page layout, I had never planned a picture knowing it would be split in half! I remember I spent a lot of time trying really hard to make it work as one whole picture, and two separate pictures, and trying to not lose anything in the center, but not make it obvious ... OTL

It was a really fun picture to work on. And the moss blanket is my favorite area in slime rancher, so I felt really happy to be given time and space to try and do it justice and show my love.

a Page of Sage

I have a confused relationship with posting art online. I don't have much in the way of finished art very often, as I have spent a few years trying to drag myself out of the burnout pit by my fingernails, but I do often have sketches or studies or rough things. Lots of things that aren't really pretty or aesthetic - much more rough than this, even. I find this page somewhat aesthetic to look at, but that might be because Its My Dog laughs. But things that I'm working on trying to understand better, or whatever the interest of the day is, my eternal attempts to draw people better, SO MANY random floating body parts because I am a Practicing Artist. I must Practice. So much practice.

I feel unsettled when it comes time to post things that aren't presentable, finished works. Generally a nice online gallery of art should be a nice online portfolio of things, right? And there's a degree of health in not sharing Everything. But on the other hand... I'm not really trying to sell myself as an artist. I'm not trying to make a gallery. It feels bad to not post anything at all, but also it feels like a weird imposition to post sketches and disjointed things. I don't really know what to do. I've thought about (and tried) doing sketchdumps, where I just post it in big groups, but I will forget about previous sketches within minutes of putting them down tbh. I've thought about grouping things by subject and just doing free mini zines of "look thats the subject matter if you want to search it out." I've thought about just making my bksy or instagram dedicated spaces for art nonsense. I've mostly just ended up not posting anything.

tl;dr I feel very confused about what to share and when and logically I should just do whatever I want, but I don't know what that really is. This is my space but I dont fully know how I fit into it. heck. im trying to figure it out but ... ???

AF user Deertael's character Edison

Ah, i think this is the last of the AF attacks I have to upload. I love AF, it makes me really happy to spend time browsing through everyone's characters. I wish I wasn't so slow, because there's like 500 characters I want to draw every year, haha. And it usually takes me a year+ to make revenges OTL

but it's just been such a positive space for me to share art and see art and i look forward to it every year.

Another AF attack, this little alchemist wizard is Jill, for AF user stiggydan.

I love characters who are just [silhouette] in [coat.] I'm pretty sure it's all because of vivi from final fantasy.

AF user OptheDragon's FNAF character Pebbles

I've never really been into fnaf. I've seen bits and bobs of people playing, but haven't paid the most attention to it. I went and watched some people playing one of the more recent ones (with the glamrock ones) while working on this and those games have grown so much!! It was a fun adventure to look around for references and resources and see how clever the fandom has been with all their own designs, and see how much the games themselves have changed, and ways theyve stayed the same.

Two more artfight attacks, the first is AF user WesternGate's warrior cats oc, Coldstorm.

and the second is Chie's Blair Hexen. I beliiieve it's a closed adoptable species named fluffy shrimp, made by an artist who goes by mochiri. i would like to do More pixel art in general, I think i always manage to do one or two during AF and it's always a fun relaxing time. (Except photoshop crashed for the first time in years on one of these when I was almost done and corrupted the file. That was not relaxing. that was hateful.)
