I’m cautious about giving out my Discord (I’m not much for DMs and I’m mostly on there for friends’ fandom server shenanigans), but I will share it w/trusted mutuals if asked. Just know I’m terribly shy & I don’t start conversations easily except once in a blue moon. But I do love hearing from friends!

I haven’t had the time or mental energy to do much with any of these sites yet but I do intend to start posting old art on most of them & testing the waters more. They may focus on Dead of Night Studio art stuff to start with, but if I find one that speaks to me the same way that Tumblr did I wouldn’t mind sharing more of the general dumbassery I get up to. :). Then again, I need to start sharing more of my dumbassery on here again, too. 🤔

ALSO! If any of you have recommendations for art-friendly sites, I’m all ears! I refuse to make an X or TikTok account (& even Insta is on thin ice with how incredibly vile random strangers are on there- so I’ll probably never do more than post art & run away). But any sites, even small ones, that are good for sculptors, painters, cosplayers, fiber art, etc. - I’d love to hear about ones you recommend!

Kaijune 1: Pride

An attempt was made at drawing the King of Monsters in something resembling my usual style for dinosaur-y things, though I (mostly) kept his adorable blocky head and stocky-ness from the recent Legendary’s MonsterVerse films.

Reposting my RP account’s FNAFuary piece from 2019 to wish you a happy palentine’s day or just a good day wherever you are. Sending platonic love to all y’all & hope something warms your heart the way so many of you warm mine!

Just made a Bluesky account (THANK YOU ESTRIN!!!) so if any of you are on there & wish to follow, this me: https://bsky.app/profile/deadofnightstudio.bsky.social

🎃

I’m also on Instagram as DeadofNightStudio, too! https://instagram.com/deadofnightstudio?igshid=YzAwZjE1ZTI0Zg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

I tend to mostly lurk on Insta lately, but I may start posting my art over there again if the spirit moves me.

🎃

I’m on discord, but I mostly stick to one or two community servers & not so much the DMs.

I am considering starting a Toyhouse account, and if there are any other sites that are good for artists & creators that y’all would recommend, I’d be interested in hearing your suggestions! Or other social media sites you guys like! Just … not Twitter.

I figure I should try to document my process of creating a watercolor painting, so here we go with what will hopefully be a reference for my version of Jack-O-Bonnie on @jack-o-chica-the-spooky-chick!

Part one:

My tools at this point are a mechanical pencil with a fairly hard lead (which leaves lighter sketch lines), cheap-o watercolor paper, and a Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser. Working off of a reference, I usually start out with a manikin-like outline of the character, nailing down the pose and facial features (which are pretty neutral here since I intend this to be a reference image). I tend to make a ton of adjustments at this stage since I’m miserable at getting things symmetrical/balanced and … well … I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I’m usually spending this stage worrying about EVERYTHING.

Once I’m reasonably satisfied, I then try to define the final shape of the animatronic’s suit, which, in the case of FNAF bots, stays pretty close to the manikin’s outline. I now go in and add all the holes/rips in the suit and the endoskeleton visible through all the damage. I’m usually working off the reference fairly closely at this point, but taking necessary liberties where the damage may interfere with the character’s ability to emote or my own design choices. The designs will get simplified/modified through repetition as I learn which design elements don’t work well for my needs and which details can be ignored for the sake of what little sanity I have left (because there is no way in heck that I am going to go this detail-obsessive every time I draw them). Final adjustments are made at this step before I commit to inking the sketch … more about that next time!

Sad to say it, but the headcrab zombie won’t be ready in time for Rose City Comic Con this weekend. I done did a goof.

I fully assembled the mask this afternoon and discovered that the jointed front legs (which attach at the tip to my chest so it looks like they’re digging in) push the whole mask off my head as soon as I look down. I’m surprised since that’s the main reason I gave the legs such flexible joints: so they could bend and accommodate head movements in any direction. It wasn’t a problem when I was testing it out, but now that everything’s glued together … well, the mask isn’t wearable like this. I tried tinkering but it’ll require dismantling the whole shoulder joint on both sides (I think) to fix, which would take time that I don’t have. :(

I may take a short break from working on it, but now that the costume is really starting to take shape & resemble what I envisioned, I’m genuinely excited to keep working. Even with this setback.

I’m going to take the opportunity to start using my new-ish cosplay blog @deadofnightstudio-cosplay to post major updates & progress posts on this and future cosplays. I’ll be posting everything on this blog as well, but I’ve noticed a couple newer faces following the cosplay’s progress so if you prefer a more cosplay-focused blog you’re welcome to follow over there!

[ Had a surreal experience last night at 2am. I was on call with a few buds and we were just watching stuff and eventually we got to Bratz Out of Context videos; saw a comment on YT while Gnome was reading it out loud and when I saw the icon I went: "WAIT!! I KNOW!!! THAT PERSON!!!" It was you, my good friend Inga, deadofnightstudio!! ]

DHFDGFFDFGDGFD!!! But also low-key SAME. I mean, your reaction was entirely reasonable (esp. since I almost never comment on YouTube). However, I really shouldn’t be surprised to see you and Michael mentioned casually on Gnome’s channel, but that didn’t stop my tired dumb of ass brain from doing exactly that. Dramatic reenactment, including imagined sona bullying scenario:

(Tagging @gnomehuts & @skullzy20 for the heck of it- I need to do proper gift art for you guys eventually.)

https://www.etsy.com/no-en/shop/DeadOfNightStudio I hope that everyone has had a wonderful first day of fall (or spring, if you're south of the Equator)! In celebration of the Autumnal equinox and the start of my favorite [haunting] season, I’m adding some Halloween-y goodies to Dead of Night Studio on Etsy! The winged Jack-o-lantern necklace is back on there, and I’m trying to get my internet connection to cooperate so that I can upload more items. We’ll see if that happens tonight, otherwise I’ll post them as soon as I can.
