OH WE ARE SO BACK!! 💜💙💚

[seajessdraw]

I realized I never posted these girlies here! These are the main characters of our senior thesis film: Zombie Punch! I drew this back in February 2024 when our film went public online. I mostly animated all the 2d effects but quite a few of the character shots were done by me as well. It's been a few years since then and it's always crazy seeing how far my art/animation have come.

There's a couple of mistakes that still bug me in this one, but hey that's every piece of art. Overall, this piece really felt like the moment I came into my own. There's effects and parts of the art process I started doing here and still continue to do. The film will always be something that sticks with me (having spent a whole year working on it), so this piece being the jump start to finding my "style" will always be special to me.

Finally finished AAI! I got the port back in September when it came out and played the first two cases. However, I ended up spending my time finishing the main series (Duel Destinies specifically took me AGES to finish). I'm working my way through AAI 2 and I have been loving both games so much! Edgeworth and Kay have such a sweet fun dynamic.

I've been struggling to do much digital art and I think it's because I'm always approaching it like I need to finish something but tbh I had so much fun just making these doodles and not worrying about them being messy. Going to try and do more silly messy sketches like this from now on.

I've been doing some marker sketches to fight the art block. And it's working... This guy is FULL of inking mistakes but I don't really notice?? Also some wips and a 3 ish year old sketch for you all! This was fun!

Castoff fanart megapost!!

The comic's 10th anniversary was this month and I so badly wanted to do something for it, but life timing just did not work in my favor this year, so here's a little sneak peak at my 10th Anniversary poster wip. Not sure when I'm going to finish, but it will be done at some point! I'm really taking my time with this one because with a piece that big, I want it to be something I feel really good about so I can print it and put it on my wall. Lines are the hardest part for me, so I'm really trying to refine them so I feel confident during inking. I've been wanting to draw the full cast of characters pretty much since I started reading the comic. I've drafted up SO many compositions (seriously, I have like 5 pages of thumbnails for this guy). This one is finally one I'm super happy with. I adore older movie posters with big headshots and environment (think 1980s, Star Wars, Stranger Things, etc) and I feel like this one really fits that vibe!

Everything else was all from the start of 2024! I'll go more into it when I finish that poster, but this comic has truly changed my life in such an amazing way. I have SO much art of all these kiddos, there's no way I can fit it into one post. You guys like unfinished sketches too right? Bc I have soooo many of those too. It's really fun seeing how much the way I draw has changed in just a year or two.

Plus a quick life update from me:

I've been training for some new work at my job (which I am extremely excited for) but since it's a physical role, I've not only been incredibly busy with the extra hours, I've also been more tired and a bit sore. I've also been busy with family visiting, a broken computer and add an unfortunate art block onto that and yeah I haven't really drawn anything in the past few weeks. I've been trying to not force myself to draw anything and catch up on some video games. I might try a new medium or working on something small to help get my spark back.

I've also been slowly getting more and more tired of posting my art on Instagram and Twitter, so I'm deciding to migrate over to other platforms! I'm going to start posting any older work that's only on Instagram, on other platforms. I've even been going through a myriad of my older work resizing, updating my watermark, glazing/nightshading my finished work, and making little fixes here and there.

Once I get through my backlog of reposts and older work, I'm hoping to start transitioning my "brand" a bit. I am trying to start selling my work online (stickers, buttons, and maybe some prints) and while I enjoy making fanart, I want to try and push out of my comfort zone and draw more original work like layouts and characters. I'm in that phase of my art career where I just don't know what I want to do and I would like to explore my options (in terms of drawing/practicing new things) while I have a stable job.

If you read all that, thanks so much for listening to my tangent! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

About time I did a drawing of these two!

I love Trucy Wright so much! Just finished The Magical Turnabout (6-2) and it was amazing.

To quote something I said to a friend upon first playing AA4: "Why the heck did nobody tell me Phoenix Wright has a daughter and that she's a freaking magical girl??!!" 😍💕🪄✨

'CAUSE BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK!!

Decided I'm going to do a redraw of this panel every January. I've always seen artists that have a piece they do an annual redraw of and I always wanted to have one too. So here's the 1 year difference! I still don't know how to draw Vector's eyes lol

[seajessdraw]

A limited color palette challenge because fun!

[seajessdraw]

Um completely unplanned Castoff Wicked AU anyone?

[seajessdraw]

"Almost Christmas" means it wasn't Christmas!

Ending the year with a bang. Happy Holidays!

Going to go play the AA Investigations port. Super excited!

Art Fight attack for thestarfishface! I love Castoff, but I draw those kids a lot so I decided to give Verity a go. She's so sweet and was super fun to draw!

My silly cat Apollo and his violent yawns. Drawing animals is hard
