Might not be the most popular look, but this is how I imagined Affini when I read their description in Human Domestication Guide (revised) for the first time.

Wide hands to ruffle floret hair with, big almost humanoid body that's almost the right shape, but not quite there, body comprised of ever twisting vines and a wooden pseudo-face that tries to look friendly, but it's just a bit too stiff when moving (She's really trying her best though).

I went ham on the arm vines, but then I realized it'd take forever, so I eventually just gave it a kind of bark texture all over and called it a day.

The head shape was supposed to look more like a hollowed out stump with branches sticking out of the hole, but I couldn't get the shape right ._.

To be frank, I thought about not drawing it at all, but I've heard a YouTuber say that doing what you can't do is good because it forces you to get better, so I went for it anyways.

Also this is probably what would happen if Swamp thing and the Skyrim Spriggan fucked.

I recently got to watch Murder Drones and I love Cyn so much. I don't even care about the genocide thing.

I like Willow so much, she makes me want to bite things

Wanted to sketch something to relax and ended up drawing a casual V1 a bunch of times, with this being the only one worth sharing

About a year ago I made a game. It wasn't good by any means, but I drew this concept art which came out pretty snazzy if I do say so myself.

it was a horror game about escaping a house of a mad cultist. Cultist's fit heavily inspired by the baghead design of Jason Voorhees.

I went to look for the in-game model, but this is the only picture I could find of it and I'm too lazy to load the old project file (I don't even think I have the appropriate engine version for it).

And here's a less dignified screenshot from Blender:

Guess we're doing 'em daily now, eh?

it was a commission of someone's custom mercenary from MORDHAU.

This is the first piece I ever got paid for. I was too young to have a PayPal so the person bought me a Steam game for it, and that's how I started playing ULTRAKILL.

One of my favorite drawings, Icey, our moral guide.

Unfortunately I lost the save file of that colony, but it was a deranged cult worshipping a living embodiment of Hatsune Miku (Have some art of her too) and Icy was our sociopath-in-charge, here featuring in pseudo stained glass in that one famous Jesus pose with a cameo from a free handed gun.

Edit (Is it appropriate to announce your edits on Tumblr?) I found her original game sprite:

I don't really watch MLP, but something compelled me to sketch Pinkie Pie once and I really liked how it came out.

made a super simplified tutorial on how i do braids on black hair and braids for straight hair for instagram so thought i’d post them here too

To expand on this, I didn't read the whole thing, because my reading list is longer than the whole library of Babel, but I know Sputnik 2 wasn't a space probe like the other characters, I was just really under the weather and the concept of drifting forgotten in space was really appealing, hence the choice of Sputnik 2 and Laika as a subject matter, as both were shot out into space with no plans of ever returning. Sputnik here is presented as a soviet era soldier. I remember looking up soviet uniforms, but cannot tell you what rank she is anymore since I discarded that information after it stopped being relevant. Her hair is bluish white and styled into a curled inwards bob to look like this spherical part on the inside. I have no rocket engineering knowledge so all the details are eyeballed from Wikipedia.

I drew her in two separate situations, one back on earth, in a rigid military setting to contrast with the care free existence in space. Whatever allegiances she had on earth don't matter anymore as she was effectively exiled. Her uniform was discarded and she now wears only the underwear beneath. Her exile is, in a way, is comforting, as she has no responsibilities or burdens she used to have as soviet union's main runner in the space race.

Laika got the short end of a stick in this drawing, because while I'm a novice at human anatomy, I have never learned a single thing about dog anatomy, ever, so she's as eyeballed as it gets.

As for Pioneer 9, her pose and general vibe were based off this Superman panel:

I initially really rushed the earth, which I now regret as it's literally in the center of your view. Pioneer 9 was made in the 60s, so her style of clothing is based on what women wore at the time

She has shored hair curled at the tips and a long, free flowing, patterned dress. I'm actually quite proud of her design, because it conveys imagery of the probe perfectly while still looking like something someone normal would wear.

Dress itself is made of shiny orange with silver lines going trough it which means to simulate Pioneer 9's solar panels

Shirt underneath the dress is supposed to look like the space blanket, which is a reflective foil used as insulation (I couldn't find a good picture of it in silver, but rest assured there is a silver version)

One time I read the first chapter of What will football look like in the future and immediately went drawing spacecrafts as people because it made me sad.

Here's Pioneer 9 and Sputnik 2 with badly drawn Laika

Here's the plague mask I made like half a year ago. It's a 3D printed plastic base covered in synthetic leather. The goggles have no glass in them, since I couldn't find any that would fit and even if I did I have no tools to cut them into shape. I can put some mesh (like scrap tights) in them to black them out if needed.

The mask costed me about 20$ (60PLN) and some serious effort on my part. It was my first time working with leather, so it's far from perfect. Right side of the mask has huge wrinkles under the eye (I have no idea how did they form), edges are jagged, since I used cardboard cutter on them and underside is completely messed up. I didn't had any glue-resistent gloves, so I glued them with bare hands. In the underside pic you can see a chunk of my skin permanently glued to the which I had to wrangle off my body.

Furthermore, although I did properly calculate the dimensions of the mask to fit my face, I forgot that the strap also has length, thus that few millimeters of added width put pressure on my temples when I wear the mask (Could be fixed with a heat gun, but I don't have one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Overall the creation experience was agonizing and left me mentally and physically damaged. 7/10
