(this is about the artfight theme reveal btw)

[galixye]

a small test I made but gave up on. IM SO EXITED FOR ARTFIGHT THEME REVEAL I really should finish my last few refs but I really want to give my main 4 unique portraits and I cant choose which to prioritize doing

I did multiple tests only these 2 got to color stage though

I plan on taking it a bit slower this year, for artfight I mean (doing more sketches maybe some less colored pieces, but it's so hard not fully shading everything drawing I do at least) I had a blast last year it really changed everything for me, it was the first time doing anything like that especially online. I feel more confident then I have in years. I feel hopeful. I've always expressed emotions through my art its nice for those emotions to be 100% positive and I'm so grateful to be able to experience and share that.

I'm still new I've know about Artfight since Bloom and Wither (or steampunk and cyberpunk idk which I saw first) but I'm not very smart and didn't realise I could like join? until I was told I could(in a very clear and detailed way because that's the only way I understand anything)?? I didn't even know how to export my drawing I just screenshoted or downloaded(if I posted them in the app) them every time. I would have joined if I knew but oh well Im here now and ready

that being said no I won't link it directly here. I'm not hard to find (same name and all) I dont want to be overwhelmed since I can't garinte revenge and such. I just wanted to share my excitement In words so I stop yapping to my mam about it.

sometimes I have ideas that sound/look(?) cool in my head until I remember that I don't actually have the knowledge or muscle memory to put said idea in visual form

like I have sketched ideas but then I don't even know what I'm looking at once I try to clean them up

I made these and yet I've no idea what I expected myself to be able to do. what am I looking at even. I do character design why am I doing a comic why am I even trying backgrounds??? I hat backgrounds why am I doing that stupid

I need to get a pen now way am I doing a full page background with my stupid finger but there is nowhere that sells them anywhere even slightly close to me I just couldn't wait though no I gotta start now of all times yeah that makes sense.

Burning Heart

Terrible tunes echo endlessly across a soundless sky,

where wandering birds bellow songs searching for forever.

I inquire to the sorrowful songbird

'where oh where do I go? to find the snow to cool my racing heart?'

The terrible song bird sighs

'You won't find the snow here young one, it is only for thouse who's minds have grown and feelings sown, right at the surface of their heart'

'Whatever does that mean oh tired songbird?'

Answers abandoned my frozen fear

buried deep down

in the snow.

Blank.

Glittering lights dance across my mind.

Creating images I cannot see,

Creating words I cannot hear.

I try to reach out to them,

And grasp what the feel like,

And drag them down onto paper

But my pen doesn't meet the page.

My hand hovers above the keyboard,

The blank emptiness of white stares.

Taunting me with its endless potential.

That lays silently screaming in my head,

Waiting to burst out in streams of lines.

My pen collapses on the page,

Do I even remember 'the why'?

The original reason I'm here.

Staring at empty walls without purpose

No color or lines to fill their pointless space,

The glittering lights fade from my mind.

(I see you in every reflection my dear) Forget-Me-Not

[galixye]

Sometimes I think "how do people come up with crossover ideas it seems so random" and then I remember what my dreams are like.

My most recent dream was "me in a classroom (my dreams are almost always in some sort of school) full of chairs with featureless people on them except for one Jester who was talking about types of princess designs and then I brig up "how would a princess be based on sleeping" like thinking of sleep kirby with aa nightcap with a crown and the jester goes on "no no no thats to simple" not royal enough I guess

And suddenly Maleficent is behind a giant white curtain saying something (I can't remember it was probably taunting the jester) the jester is running along trying to catch malficent by opening the curtain but can't catch her. Then suddenly the jester says loudly "how can Sleeping Beauty be popularanyway when Mario only appears a for a quater of the film?!"

Suddenly its cuts to Me, Mario, Sleeping Beauty and the Jester(who now looks like princess Dasiy) running out of school halls large doors out into like a parking lot outside some shops and into a fancy car someone mentions Mario and Sleeping Beauty are getting married and then I wake up

I've had this dream twice. But the first time had miitopia characters instead in like a dnd setting and princess peach but specifically from the ds game with perry. And instead of exiting out to a car it just switched into the miitopia world. Like suddenly a completely different story and setting in the middle of a dream(this happens a lot)

Then again I thought 'cringe' meant "look at these cool artists" because the first few times I saw the word it was In "cringe comp" and I just thought 'wow pretty colors very cool'

I wasnt very smart. Im still not I just learned how to hide it with to many words. Anyway people should show their old art off more, like a proud parent for their childhood self.

Ive gotten compliment on my 'art style'. I honestly don't even know what my style is anymore. I draw what's easiest for me not what I would like it to look like but eh. Now the art I made in ~2012 however, that was the peak of my art. Oh how I long for those days. Just me and my lack of knowledge about anything ever

Anatomy? Cohesive design? Color theory?? BOO Boring! I want to go back and unlearn that stuff, I need to pack details! I need rule of cool I need to exist on the floor and draw and forget everything, USE THOSE BRIGHT CRAYONS! GIVE THEM 4 WINGS!! AND A TAIL MADE OF PLANTS WITH MAGIC FIRE ON THE END!!! BRING ME BACK TO THE OLD AND CRINGE

Unfortunately unlearning is very difficult so I'm stuck with thinking about things work >:(

(I say this like a joke but genuinely I do wish I never tried to improve and learn, because sure my art 'looks better' but it's less fun now I have to think about what I'm making. I wish I had spent a little longer just making things with no reason or purpose)

Certain hyperfixation hit me like a ice-cream truck, I'm supposed to be doing other stuff but all my brain can think of is plans for a dumb comic and backstorys, artwork, lore, character interactions and its driving me crazy.

I need to shake it by the shoulders until its to blurry to see, I need to bite and tear it apart so I can see the foundation of what makes it so interesting, I need to study it understand how it works every small part, I need to hug it, to give it a blanket and hot chocolate, I want to see it at its best and at its worst. I NEED TO CREATE IT.

This silly little thing has been sitting in my brain for a long while, normally quiet due to my dumb fear of laptops preventing me from even interacting with it but ooooohhh it suddenly doesn't care about that now. Now when I have other things I'm meant to be doing.

[galixye]

Really trying to force myself to make human(ish) oc design, but like... I can't. Like I'll draw a human character and be like where's the patterns? The extra features like horns and wings? Your telling me they got no claws? No tail? Like what's even the point!

(Or maybe... it's just that I can't draw/design clothes, and use all of the above to destract from that while still making a intresting design)

Useless fun fact about me is what got me into drawing animal characters at first was that as a child, I hated drawing human ears and nose.

Did a silly doodle to forget how social I have to be tomorrow.

[galixye]

Well, I didn't end up doing much drawing as I planned... but I won't miss Halloween! I've been drawing a 'abandoned' oc named Cyc almost every Halloween for a few years now.

Below is the finished drawing! Warnings: beheaded+blood

[galixye]

Prompts: Favourite oc(s), opposite colors and (almost)100% saturation

Tw: Bright Colors below!

My girls! All time favourite ocs for years now, cant wait to enviably put them through every kind of pain and misery that I can think of and more :)

[galixye]

Inspired by various prompts: seconds before disaster, teeth, snake etc (big snake dragon about to bite + person how isn't reacting to this situation/doest know what's behind them)

Hope I did this correctly if u did below this is are the brighter color pallette test (well only one is bright but I'm not taking any risks here)

I couldnt decide which I liked more so here:

Fun fact: this isn't an oc this is my default/placeholder character who I use to test out ideas or composition.

[galixye]

Happy spooky season!

A quick drawing/redesign of one of my oldest ocs (~10 years old) for my own oc-tober list (I won't do a drawing for everyday or use a pre-existing list (I made my own) but I felt like trying it out just a bit) :)

[galixye]

Got artblock immediately after my last post >:(

But 8m back eith my second idea for limited life uh will I finish this idea or will this entire thing go into the forever abandoned projects who knows, plan currently is just to work on this in-between my personal art (which I might start posting here idk yet)

Allay because... reasons yep I remember them yep
