He'll punch royal guards in the face, tie a man up and throw him in the trash, and aid fugitives of the law but he draws the line at stealing little knick knacks and *checks notes* Being Rude

I am once again asking you to go read Castoff by @thestarfishface it's extremely good

Boy howdy has it been a while since I posted art I'm trying to break my pattern of absence I swear

here's a sonc I haven't posted in a while but I HAVE been drawing! I've been working on making some actual physical products to sell at cons and online. This is to be a print in the near-ish future :D I'll share the link once it actually exists!

So I recently found a webcomic and I uuuuhhh am obsessed so here's a big ol pile a memes

These characters are criminally fun to draw what is even the deal with that. I could draw Arianna all day

Anyway go read Castoff by @thestarfishface it became my favorite webcomic of all time at an alarming speed

Finished commission!! A couple of Mystery Dungeon OCs in as close to the title card style as I could get it!! This one kicked my butt for an embarrassingly long time but I prevailed and I love it now

[roadsaltedpretzels]

Finished commission for @SuperSecretsG of their Kirlia and Gallade OC’s! This was super fun to draw especially the HAIR I LOVE HAIR

[roadsaltedpretzels]

Little bit of background and style-matching practice

I choose to believe they eventually got together

[roadsaltedpretzels]

My children....

These two are actually the main characters in a Mystery Dungeon webcomic I’ve been planning for years now! I finally think I’m ready to start production proper soon, so if you like that kind of stuff keep an eye out for details on it later!

I always use themes when I nickname pokemon, and for legends arceus I’m using musical instruments

My gardevoir is named Erhu, and it infected me with the gijinka bug

I have a Redbubble shop now!

These are the only designs I have up at the moment-- a little series of geometric space animals. But there’s more on the way! Both more space animals and non-space-animal designs.

A Floaty Boy Touches Grass

Honedge is weirdly fun to draw

Thanks to @brot8o-chip for the idea, you were so right

[roadsaltedpretzels]

It’s taken me 27 years but I’ve finally figured out how to draw clouds and it’s FUN

Holy hell I’m alive

I haven’t posted in almost 2 years because of Circumstances so here’s a little compilation of DnD character designs I managed to draw during that time, in no particular order. click through for captions

If you’re thinking “wow that’s not a lot of art for 2 years” you’re correct. The Circumstances have taken a hell of a toll

[roadsaltedpretzels]

I’ve opened a Redbubble shop!

I only have one design in there at the moment, but I have tons more planned! Please check it out!!

[roadsaltedpretzels]

Welcome back, Pretzel! I am so excited to see your updated att!

Thank you!! It's good to be back!!

Hello world I’m still alive I think I’m gonna start posting here again

I’ll explain where I’ve been in a readmore if anyone is curious for some reason but anyway hi folks I can finally draw again and I think I might finally be back

So to keep the very long, tedious story short, about 2 years ago I started having constant pain in my arms and hands that eventually became intolerable and I completely lost the ability to draw (or do Most Things) for months. Turns out I have a herniated disc in my cervical spine, probably from a really bad car accident I was in. The pain has since gotten much better (tho still more or less constant) but the depression it contributed to didn’t really get better with it, especially with a bunch of other stressful things that have been happening. I was also feeling really uninspired in general and kind of hated my art at the time, so all that compounded resulted in a total loss of art drive. I legit have barely drawn anything in 2 years. Which worsened the depression, since drawing was the most important thing in the world to me. It’s been a bad spiral.

Well, last month, one of the worst things that could happen to me happened and now I’m out of a job and somehow, some way, I’m actually starting to bounce back up now. I’ve been playing a lot of pokemon in my ample free time and it’s actually been giving me the inspiration and drive I’ve been missing for so long. I’ve drawn more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the entire 2 years since I stopped posting here.

So yeah, I think I’m gonna start sharing some art again. I don’t have a ton of it but out of what I have, a lot of it’s going to be pokemon. I also have some dnd character art I managed a while ago. I was always too shy to share ocs since I figure no one would care about them, but that’s about all I have now, so it’s going to have to do.

I’ll also be opening commissions here pretty soonish, so keep an eye out for details if you’re interested! I don’t have any other source of income right now so it would be a big help!!

Thanks for sticking around if you did! No idea how active I’ll be from here on out or what I’ll be sharing primarily but I want to get back to creating. I’ve missed it very badly.
