this was the first thing I drew in my sketchbook when I bought it around a year ago. thank god I had the foresight to scan it before attempting to colour it in because it got completely RUINED after this, r.i.p

an ACNH outfit I drew a while ago when it was still seasonally appropriate 👻

It’s the little things

just some person I saw at a train station one time. they looked cooler in person but I forgot most of the details of their outfit before I drew it lmao

ok so listen I drew this while I was in Italy last year because even though I was travelling outside my home continent for the first time and seeing amazing things, that did not stop me from playing Genshin on my phone and obsessing over Kaeya’s Sumeru outfit (I’m like 5 months sober on Genshin now but I still think of him daily)

Here’s a lil Misa I drew while drunk at a bowling alley (instead of bowling)

I have a long history of putting undue pressure on myself to only post things I deem “completed”. I’ve kept my sketches and quick works separate even if I really liked them. Ultimately I’d end up feeling trapped because if I liked a sketch I felt I had to “finish” it in order to post it, rather than just letting it be what it is. Months would go by and all I’d have were a big pile of “unfinished” works. NO MORE!! I’ll post whatever I think looks halfway decent and probably also some stuff I think looks terrible!! I just don’t want my online presence to remain in a chokehold of meaningless productivity!!!!

Jeanette’s time studying under Ethelred was both enlightening and comforting.

Anyway happy first proper art post of the year to me, and happy first proper comic I’ve finished since… uh… July of last year! Wow that is sad! But I think I’m starting to get a bit of my inspiration back. Every year I say “I hope I post more art this year” and then I don’t do that. I don’t think I even have enough for a “year in review” post like I normally try to do. But here’s hoping that this is the one! I’ve been drawing a lot for the last few months but haven’t completed a single piece. You know how it is. Somehow, though, this comic I drew based on a couple of my Sims 4 characters learning magic together is the thing that fixed me. 🤷‍♂️ TL;DR I’m still alive and still drawing, I hope at least one of those things continues!

I somehow ended up in Italy a while ago. here are some Italy things I sketched while I was there.

I haven’t even been to Fontaine yet but I am obsessed with this specific screenshot of Freminet

still-unnamed crybaby prince, who was inspired by 70’s anime pretty boys, a very specific cover illustration on an Oscar Wilde book, 1920s pinup girls and drag queens, and to a lesser degree, the movie Shrek

Just under a year ago, I held a poll among my friends, asking whether they liked the shaded version of this or the unshaded version better. Almost every single person said that they liked the shaded version better. I then posted the unshaded version anyways, then about three months later I looked at the two versions again and said “the hell was I THINKING?” TL;DR here’s the nicer version of that drawing. I still haven’t finished DR2 because the trials were about to make me pop a blood vessel

Next up on “posting my art 3 months late”, here’s Minnie Monroe who is always such a delight to watch ⭐️⭐️

Spent an evening at the lookout and did some sketching. This drawing is not from then, but it did remind me that I never posted some drawings I did about 3 months ago LOL anyways here’s Caligula Del Core in all their glory

sketched this out a couple of months ago with the subtitle “sometimes depression feels like I’ve switched bodies with someone and I’m trapped in a dark room watching the person in my skin suit ruining my life”

If reincarnation is real… I want to be a jellyfish. 🌕🌊 (i love kuragehime and I think I am about due for a twentieth rewatch)
