#maybe i'll make this a redraw tradition...

[pocketjesters]

Third times the charm! I did another redraw of one of my old favorite illustrations featuring characters I made in high school (maybe I'll revamp them some day)

The first drawing was done in i believe either 2015 or 2016? I've since lost the original file, I only have any evidence of it now because I thankfully saved it to my canvas as reference when I redrew it New Year's day 2022. I put off doing another redraw because I felt super satisfied with it, but got the itch to try again right before New Year's 2025 so it felt apt lol

"Vibrant colours, song and dance. That's how you tell the world and your beloved of how you truly feel" Airell would say, explaining some of the traditions they grew up around.

Unlike colourful tree frogs, Airell is completely black. So, they try to make up for that with colourful body paint and fabric when they make a decision to genuinelt court someone.

There were two occasions when Airell did this, and only one was successful. Maybe one day I'll tell you more but for now.

Gaze upon my pretty child. I love my child.

This is still not the way I wanted this to be. I will redraw it when I get more detailed visions of the body paint patterns. These are not elaborate enough

Who Will Save You Now? / Bad Machine

There it is ladies and gentlethems. Bit of a personal piece if I gotta be honest, what started out as a random sketch I wasn't thinking too much on while making ended up transforming into a 4 day emotional rollercoaster for me.

I can only do so much on traditional and I'm still not satisfied 💔 maybe I'll make a digital version of this someday.

Sappy rambling on the creative process, as well as close-ups on details & songs' lyrics below!

I've been experimenting with coloring techniques here, other than just drawing Turbo with intense expressions as well as videogame-pixelated equivalent of body horror. This was a deliberate attempt to stop gatekeeping myself in regards to my art, clean or messy- doesn't matter, as long as it's something that I've created with unrestricted love. There's SO MUCH more I would've liked to add but if I sat there thinking up more things to add or details to include, I'd never truly finish. The lyrics was an impulsive choice, looking at it now I'm not too happy with how busy I made the background come across, and another reason why I'd like to maybe redraw this digitally in the future; I wanted to leave a loud and clear ¨this is what inspired me!!¨ lol.

Wish I could put into words (or hell, I wish there were ENOUGH words cuz there aren't!) how much this character means to me, how much he's meant to me for the past decade. There just isn't enough for me to express how much love I hold for him, what I've been through with him and how many times I've tried to suppress him over foolish insecurities. That I was 'too passionate', too much of this, too much of that. When in reality that was my greatest strenght, I feel free when I draw him, and I feel alive when I'm able to express myself through him.

[quibble-auk]

Yk what no one asked for? My art process.

At least when it comes to drawing transformers... I don't put a lot of my other stuff up here haha. This guide probably won’t help with drawing TFP stuff tho. I like sticking to my cubes.

Who knows. Maybe this can help someone. Or provide amusement cause I have no idea what I'm doing. Just thought l'd share some stuff lol. And an unpopular art opinion.

So yeah, my secrets. Which like.... my art isn’t incredibly impressive or anything but... you get the point.

If you ever really wanted to try out whatever my style is called, here’s your guide. Along with a tutorial on how I draw Sunstreaker, but it’s like 5 steps lol.

I apologize in advance for the sheer amount of yapping I’m about to do. I’m just trying to makes sense

~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the part where I share my tips and tricks yippee! Small disclaimer, I just kinda do half of this stuff as a go. There is no real order to this. I’m basically just explaining how my style works (despite how much my style varies tbh)

There’s a general build for the body that I’m pretty sure most people have figured out. The head, chest, torso, and weird hip thingy. Then the legs are broken into two main segments, the arms are broken into three, shoulder, upper arm, lower arm.

Here we go, unpopular art opinion rant.

When I make my base I usually work from the head down. Don’t be afraid to use the lasso tool to readjust the sizes of different components. If the head you started with has the right angle but is too small, lasso it and make it bigger. If ur doing traditional, sorry, you’re just gonna have to redraw it.

I’ll usually try and clean up overlapping lines, but I wanted yall to see the shapes before I did that.

Then we can start adding details. I look at other artist’s designs and the source material and pick out reoccurring traits that will help make the character easily identifiable.

I tend to add the most detail to the head simply because that’s what is commonly used to identify characters. Usually when designing my version of a character I allow myself to kinda make up details for this part.

But do feel free to add your own details to make sure people can tell it’s “your” design!

These are still very simple shapes and not detailed whatsoever. We are keeping it basic on purpose.

Very loose shapes, extremely vague idea. Just putting down the most identifiable parts that are important in building it, if that makes sense. I put down the bare minimum for this.

You really don't want to over complicate things. It makes it difficult for the viewer to figure out what's going on. A crowded design is distracting and unappealing. The simpler the better.

So now we have our sketch layer done. Because I'm impatient, it's line art time baby!

I end up just kind of feeling it out with line art. There will be some changes between the sketch and the line art. I’ll also use line weight to just general shading stuff sometimes. In this one it’s not very consistent but I was kinda losing motivation cause… adhd my beloved.

This is pretty self explanatory. Use your sketch to outline what you want, adding details as you go. I'll still leave my lines pretty loose and messy for most of these, just because it adds a bit more... character? Makes it feel more authentic? But feel free to clean it up as much as your little heart desires.

Smth im really passionate about is not overcomplicating the designs and crowding it. I know I already mentioned it once but… yeah.

While adding a bunch of detail can be cool, if not executed right, it can become overwhelming and difficult to understand visually. Keep it simple, you don't need to add every crease or seam. Just the important ones that can help a character stand out or fill in an awkward large space.

Usually after that l'll just put flat color down. Nothing fancy. I like to just do greyscale but you can go crazy. I'm not stopping you.

But adding a flat color under your line art helps pull together the sketch. It makes it easier for people to understand what is and isn't a character and makes it simpler to understand the character’s shape.

If I have several characters in one picture l'll usually make them separate colors to help make sure you can easily identify them as different people. I usually try to keep in mind the characters actual color when doing this. People with darker colors get a darker gray.

I’ll also try and give a different color to an object they are interacting with so it doesn’t get confused with the character themselves.

The entire reason I gave Sunstreaker a gun was to show this. I hate drawing guns.

These are also rarely perfect. As long as it's not extremely obvious that you're out of the lines, no one will notice. At least that’s been my experience.

I usually do this on separate layers

There's a lot of personalization when it comes to drawing and I don't know if I explained all of this very well. Ironically I don't really think much about how I'm doing it, I just... do it.

If you need any further explaining, I'll try my best to help. And if you made it this far ive got mad respect for you. I’m pretty sure I’m just rambling for half of this lol.

Have fun creating!!!!

[1driedpersimmon]

Do you have any advice for people who might want to get into making comics like yours? I'm always pleasantly surprised by how fast you pump them out and even have other little projects/doodles on the side. How do you keep the quality consistent?

(sorry if this sounds a lil cold (?) i rlly love your peppercakes they r so skrunkly)

First off - Thank you !! I'm honored you like my lil guys and comics hehe! (and no worries on the tone !! I didn't think it sounded cold at all!)

Alright secondly lets see...

Short answer: You really just gotta start and keep going!! Once you start you get the momentum and it gets much easier (like riding a bike, which people like to use as comparison often).

Long answer:

Alright I thought about how to answer for this for a bit and I think I'll break it down to the main aspects.

So timing ! Basically I'm drawing 24/7 (and I'm currently not working as it's an off time for me, but I shall in a week and you will see that my posting frequency will decrease substantially). Ok maybe not 24/7 but I essentially am drawing from the moment I wake up to when I sleep (minus eating, restroom, working out, some errands) and while I do not say this is the key to being better, I'm just realistically displaying how much time I'm spending on drawing. (... one of my new years resolution is to not in fact do that and go out more because I feel like I'm being cooped up in my room a lot haha). But minus the amount of time I spend itself a lot of it has to do with the importance I take in speed drawing. And when I say that I mean quite literally how fast I can draw. AND I think a large part of where that speed comes from is how I like to generalize designs and just my overall process of drawing. (Which, I will not go over now but if you'd like I could make a separate post on how I go about doing my usual sketch, lines, colors, etc) Like, I love ff and all of it's crazy designs but it's so complicated I simplify everything till it's juussstt recognizable, and that's something I feel like really adds to the speed of things.

Also that's sweet of you to say for the quality haha (I always am thinking stuff like ah man this aint it... not my finest work, and then just post anyways cuz who cares I already made it heh)! That being said my quality wasn't alwaysss consistent! Here's an example of my very first "comic" I made for my characters:

And here's the same 4 panels I redrew just about 2 years later:

So I've been basically drawing comics for this for just about 2 years now (will be 2 years officially in a few months) and I most certainly did not get here in one night. I think, as I've mentioned, it's really important to keep up with the comic making (or drawing in general) so that, yes, you can get better, but the way you get better is that it becomes familiar to you. So you can approach concepts and ideas with a more experience. And I think a large part of what holds alot of people back is the idea that "ah I can't do this idea I'm not good enough." So what !! Still do it, I most certainly did it a couple years ago when I barely scribbled my ideas. And then you can totally go back and redraw it ! no "Rule" saying you can't go back and revisit your ideas, like hell even professional artists go back and republish their works with their improved art styles ! (ex. Tokyo Ghoul... even though I don't care for the story, it's still pretty cool! I think he even added more scenes? Anyways..). I think there was that one post going around where it was something like do it scared and that's really REALLY what you gotta do.

And that leads to my final point. You gotta love doing it. I like to make comics because I LOVE my characters, their story, and actually the act of putting it all together into a story, drawn comic, visuals, etc. And, I found my method of loving them. For me, what held me back was the "structure" of comics. I mean you can p much see that the way I like to do things is def not the "traditional" manga/western comic book style right? I won't go as far to say that I "made up this way" of comic making where it's one panel at a time but it certainly worked for me. (I have no idea how many comic wips I have collecting dust in my folders from my earilier days of making this comic where I just gave up 20% of the way in because I really could not vibe with the formatting, but then I figured out I really like to "thumbnail" comics (a result of when I was studying storyboards alot imo) and I went on from there).

This is where I feel like alot of people get stuck too. Where they really do like their ideas, their character, their stories and such, but as soon as they try and go through the process of creating in a certain way... the wind is just instantly taken out of their sails. And while I do believe sometimes you just gotta push through and do it anyways, sometimes that's not the right method to go about it. So instead of brute forcing a method of creation and eventually forming a bad relationship with the process, find a method that works for you. And maybe it doesn't look all that great or good compared to others, but that comes in time and as long as you like doing it, that's what really matters at the end of the day.

Tl;dr: be a lil freak, and lil weird about what you do (this applies to everything, not only art :3)

Alright so I think that's all the points? idk if you still want to ask me stuff, feel free to anytime :) Always happy to share my thoughts!

[skull-keeta-art]

Really late to the party, but I beat the TTYD Remake last month!

The remake was really good in my opinion, and it inspired me to remake something of my own. Here's a redraw of the first art piece I've posted on this blog! I only made a few changes to their designs as I still really like how they look in my AU. You can see the original below:

What a difference four years can make, huh? The original piece was actually a redrawing of a AU concept I made of these three back in high school. Maybe I'll post my old traditional art in the future for further comparison...

Riddle watches New Wish - Post #19

Riddle's Extremely Specific FOP Problems

Just came from looking at screenshots I'd saved of Dev, like these ones from "A New Dev-elopment":

I don't think I've said this yet, but the funny thing about Dev is that his hair reminds me of how I draw Happy Peppy Gary, who's been one of my main doodle muses since 2016. They both have ginger spikes:

This week I actually redesigned Gary's hair by letting it grow longer and more curly in the back, so I'll keep Dev's short in the back and only spiky in the front.

They have different skin and eye colors, etc., but it is funny that like, 6(?) years ago, I put Gary in a zipper hoodie.

I do a lot of traditional art, and I'm really gonna have to do a sketchpage nailing their designs down so they look different in pencil.

My current Gary design does have a spiral in his hair since I do that for all my witches, and I don't think that'll ever come up for Dev, especially if Dale Dimm really is Dev's ancestor - the one person who's extremely UNlikely to be a witch - so... there's that.

Some old Gary sketches where he IS in his Learnatorium clothes:

I feel like I could redraw any of these poses with Dev, lol. The freckles do a ton of heavy lifting here.

....... I've been writing Ed Leadly and Gary as rivals for YEARS and this is once again adding a cruel layer of irony to my "Ed Leadly as Dev's grandpa" situation.

Every time I see this kid, I see My Boy in him.

They are the same person to me...

The Haunting of Wells House

I like how Marcus keeps calling his daughter Hazelnut. It's cute. I'm glad to see him ready to hunt the "apartment ghost" he's been after since Episode 1.

Hooray for Cosmo and Wanda acting like neighbors!

I feel like they shouldn't be giving a horror movie to a child if they haven't seen it themselves and then walk back to their room, especially since their line of work is about trauma recovery (or at least... helping kids avoid hurt). They should know better than that.

I'm so glad you can see into their apartment from the hall. Literally nothing stops you or hides their magic stuff. You can just do it...

Marcus sniffing the video while fancy dinner music plays is my everything. They're BOTH silly.

I like how Cosmo and Wanda poofed up a TV for the apartment and included cobwebs and spiders on it. I guess that makes sense; they were giving Hazel a horror movie.

Ooh, ghostly lightning spirit of the actress trapped in the video?

Hazel has learned nothing from her last experience of wishing to be part of a TV show. She's 10.

Wait, so... Cosmo and Wanda can hear Hazel's casual wish from across the hall? And poof over?

Uh, maybe we don't tell that to Dev, who just flipped out last episode when Peri didn't show up despite Dev whisper-calling for him when Vicky was putting him to work...

She... Also, I can't believe Marcus left his daughter under a heavy machine for 4 hours.

So far, our only canon fairy death fits the OG series' implied canon that only non-magical items can kill Fairies [i.e. "magic doesn't affect magic" from "Abra-catastrophe"], so I like that.

I don't have much to say. Pepper seems interesting I suppose, and I can probably have her be a friend of Blonda's in 'fic.

I enjoy Jorgen grumpily cleaning up magic messes. That feels right.

... Unclear if Jorgen is keeping a bunch of fairies locked in the basement or if he just has a shelf full of similar-looking items.

Other Prime AU (Codex #0? ⇨ Beta Designs (Conjunx))

[Rest of my AU here!]

(⚠️If at any point some lines look unnaturally wobbly or uncanny, it's because I've used an editing tool to remove drawings that might be distracting! ...Which is also why there's a lot of empty space;;;⚠️)

(Satisfied with the concepts, not the designs of the characters, so I'll definitely redraw them 🥂 maybe adding more, who knows...)

In this AU, thanks to everyone who participated in this poll, conjuxes of important government figureheads have a subtle design embellishment to indicate that they are with said figurehead. Think of it as a betrothal gift!

Zeta was likely the one to start this tradition, since he gave Starscream handplates that were from his spare parts.

(I have the idea that spare parts are kinda akin to skin/fur/scale shedding, and bots keep them just in case. They’re used mostly to either repair or to create new life, though this isn’t the only way to make young. In any case, giving someone a spare part could be thought of as giving someone “a piece of you”.)

(Also because the second most voted answer was to make the embellishment significant, I've decided to give Starscream some formal wear, also given to him by Zeta)

The new Primes' gifts to each other are stickers of the figures that they both like; Optimus gave Other Prime another sticker to replace the one he had, and Other Prime gave Optimus a sticker of Primus.

Also hi. My secret is out--I'm a sucker for KnockBee/KOBB aksjkaldkf;;;; Part of why I'm glad this is now a separate AU so I can be as self indulgent as I want to be LMAO my excuse is that If we can have BreakBee thanks to ES, we can have KOBB;;;

I do understand that Bee has two hands though 👀

Anyway, since K.O.'s a medical bot in this AU, I bet the medical school was strict on how much you're allowed to decorate yourself (sort of like how nurse students aren't allowed to dye their hair;;; though I'm not sure if that's just a JPN thing), but I'd like to think that the Autobots are a little less strict with this rule.

To add, since K.O. needs to move both his body and hands a lot, Bee didn't want to give him something that obstructed his ability to tend to others even remotely, so [Bee] gave him something that doesn't get in the way--a design on his paint job.

[ribbonetteart]

A request for something a little different than usual 🍑👑

Progress stuff below:

I haven't done progress shots in a bit and I think it's something I want to do more often because I like talking and blogging I guess haha.

Now that I have more experience illustrating digitally, this kind of direct reference drawing is MUCH easier to do digitally 😫honestly this felt like a self imposed challenge lol. BUT I did want to do some more traditional stuff because I feel that I had been doing a little too much digital, if that makes sense. It's nice to play with my markers and color pencils once in a while too!!

Doing the line art on this piece ESPECIALLY felt easier to do traditionally than digitally. For some reason, trying to do line art on a tablet screen feels too smooth or slippery or something. Lining traditionally feels easier, probably because I put so much pressure on the paper in the sketch phase that when the lining phase comes next, it feels like I'm just following the lines on the page like a train on a track ^_^

despite uploading a couple of illustrations colored with marker now, I still feel a bit like a novice when it comes to marker. I got a new pack of markers that I wanted to play with, which was even more motivation to return to paper for a bit. But honestly, I feel like I fudged the window color blending. I watched tutorials and stuff on blending with markers but I guess I still need more practice ^^;;; at least it looks a bit messy to me. This is how this piece came to be a mixed media illustration, since I tried using color pencils to make that transition from blue to green on the windows a little smoother.

I think the pot holding the piranha plant came out a tad too saturated and it's calling too much attention compared to the very light floor and dresser. I was trying to follow the colors on the reference closely as an easy re-intro to traditional art, but next time I do something like this, I think I'll take more liberties with color and see what happens.

Overall, I'm quite happy with how Peach turned out. I don't draw humans too often since I typically draw Sonic characters lol. Sometimes it feels like I have to re-teach myself to draw people as a result. I really liked using the gelly roll for the highlights on her face and the polka dots on her shirt :3 I highly recommend using that pen as my previous experiences with other white gel pens don't compare to this one (not to sound like a commercial I'm just really happy it worked as well as it did!).

And finally, although redrawing a creation from a dress up game screenshot is probably not the most imaginative exercise I could be doing with illustration, I think it's fun and it's pushing me to do things outside of my comfort zone. I'm using new art tools (I'll get better with marker I prommy) and I drew a background! I'd like to do more backgrounds like this as a practice to encourage more original stuff. Maybe. One day. Probably.

If you read all of this until the end, thank you! Have a wonderful day, and thank you for following me and supporting my art :3c 💝

Le Tag!?

Last Song: Indila - Love Story I've recently discovered this song and the piano version has been living in my head for a while now. I occasionally replay it at work while imagining fluffy scenarios... :")

Favorite Colour: Pinks forever!

Last Book: Mamnik ... a Bulgarian author book which I really, really wish it would get an EN translation some day cause it was such a good thriller mixed with slavic mythology!

Last Movie: Sonic 3 (It was so good... T^T)

Last TV Show: Severance Season 2 (I'm still watching it!)

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Savory and Spicy! Ironically, I'm not a sweets person :D;; Very little sweet does the trick for me.

Last Thing I Searched for Online: ... Suikoden 1 recruitment guide cause I forgot where Maximillian and Sanchez show up.. :D;;;;

Current Obsession: SUIKODEN!!! Replaying my childhood faves which shaped me as an artist and writer is a big thing for me. Seeing the series being revived makes me hopeful that I may in fact see answers to some questions! I'm at the final boss of Sui1 and I'm so happy with the love and care the remasters got...

It also made me look through old drawings I did as a kid. Back when I had just finished Suikoden 2 for a first time and I immediately went to make some OCs and write a story inspired by the game and to this day I consider it one of my most beloved works xD; It's been...well, about 20+ years now, I want to redraw some of them and re-read my notes. Obviously my writing was what you'd expect from a 15 year old but it's still near and dear to my heart. Maybe I'll share some of the redesigns when I get to them... :'D;;;

Looking Forward To:

Starting Suikoden 2 this weekend! My fave game ever... T^T

Redrawing some old characters! I'm hungry for traditional arts! And I bought some copic ink refills cause some markers started to give in...after over 5 years no less.

Walking more now that the weather is getting better! I've been thinking to try listening to audiobooks cause I have about 40 minutes walk to work every day :D;; and I rather listen to something better than cars passing by.

Sketching Chapter 16 of The Sneric Comic... with Suikoden into my hands, I may take a bit to get back into the head space for it again but I'm excited to resume it cause next chapter is so satisfying!

Moonshot: A Cheng'e Story

< Prev [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]

Part 5 of 5

There is a beat of silence. Then Jiang Cheng explodes in a completely differently way.

He is chastises Wei Wuxian for declaring love for someone he just met, then goes on to rant about Wei Wuxian’s inability to think before he talks. For once he seems to be dropping the god persona and acting like any other flustered person. The Lans note the core transfer has stopped.

Jiang Cheng looks a bit pouty now that the godly power has left what remains of his soul. Wei Wuxian seems happy to see this plain version of Jiang Cheng again. Jiang Cheng has only enough strength for a kiss and goodbye. Wei Wuxian looks on as he dissolves to stardust, eventually interrupted by a comm from Wen Qionglin, who is concerned about the crashing noise from before. Wei Wuxian answers there is nothing to worry about, still gazing at Earth.

And that’s the end! Thank you for reading!

2021 Cheng'e: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [x]

2022 Cheng’e: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ]

Jin Ling wasn't really a part of this year's Cheng'e fest, so I had to bring best nephew in for a mini epilogue. I kind of regret not making these higher res like the main story, maybe I'll redraw them at some point. You may want to stop reading or fortify yourself if you have any strong visceral reactions to the donghua finale.

The idea here is that Adult Jin Ling finds out about his uncle's passing while visiting the moon when Lan Xichen gives him Jiang Cheng’s clarity bell in a box soon after the main story. He had been expecting this to happen since he has long known Jiang Cheng was a ghost with unearthly energy he couldn’t actually sustain. Dutifully Jin Ling brings Jiang Cheng's clarity bell back to his birthplace on Earth, honoring the tradition of returning the dead home to be buried. He calls upon his godly powers (via a magical girl transformation) to shoot the bell into a lake of lotuses. He is saddened but accepting of his loss.

I like having Jiang Cheng’s rest be delivered via an arrow from the heavens, when it was precisely an arrow striking the gods that set in motion the events leading to his imprisonment.

I got invested in Jin Ling’s design that doesn’t even show up in the comic, so you get a God!Jin Ling + Fairy illustration as a bonus on top of the bonus:

I imagine he’s getting ready to smite anyone who dares to bully Jiang Cheng when he reincarnates.

Grad School Q5 - Week 1

This is late but yay, why not keep the tradition going! Last quarter I almost made it all the way through, so maybe this time I'll actually make it.

My first class is an art history course again, and I am relieved to say it's much more lax than the last one where there were several readings every week, mandatory discussion both online and in person, as well as jam-packed lessons each week. Which, I'm not mad that happened, my last professor was SUPER knowledgeable and I learned a lot. But it was also a lot and I'm glad to know we're mostly just going to be writing about what we think of artworks. RELIEF!

My storyboarding class is the heaviest on my schedule, but even then there's only 4 assignments? And the first one is due today already, so, wow. That's not so bad either. I'm finally going to learn Storyboard Pro! It's time.... it's been time.

Here it is, by the way. It was reverse boarding, meaning I looked at this scene from Amelie and drew what I thought the boards would look like. I mean, it's mostly just frame-redraws, sure, but the scene is kind of complex. It's shot very fast-paced on handheld with things happening in quick succession. But hopefully I captured its essence!

My professor will probably not like it because any time I feel like I did pretty well on something, I get torn apart in critique. 😅

My last class is Self-Promo, and I wasn't sure what to expect at all. It turns out that is mostly a business class! So, surprise, my quarter is actually going to be quite light on drawing. What a relief!

I have to do my candiancy review this quarter, which I'm not too worried about. Not only do they basically never fail anyone, I also have done more classes than most people have at the time of review (because I had those two intensive courses at the beginning which don't count) which means I basically have an extra quarter of material to show. I'm just nervous about the printing part, since I have to print things out for it, because that costs money. And of course, the day of I'll be super nervous. Yay, can't wait. That's like a month from now so I'll worry later.

1 - 23 :3

cracks knuckles okay

1. how would you describe your art style? uhhhhhhhh, maybe "safe" is the word rn. whenever I think of my art style, what comes to mind is just how little I've been pushing things with it. I wanna change that ;D

2. what's your favorite thing about your style? I realize I like to use semi-realistic proportions, its cool how comfortable I've gotten with drawing faces and bodies

3. what's your least favorite thing about your style? It's so static man. same thing I said for the first question, I don't think anything really looks bad, but it just is lacking in creativity in comparison to the older art that should be looking worse than what I do now. I prefer my older stuff ;D (looking at you inktobertale2021.. where did it all go wrong)

4. favorite thing to draw? regular ol people. human characters are def more in my comfort zone, which explains why I keep hitting skeletons with the humanization ray (also I prefer to draw feminine characters)

5. least favorite thing to draw? I can't even say I rlly dislike it cuz of how rarely I even do it, but I am procrastinating so hard on learning backgrounds..

6. warm colors or cool colors? cool colors are my fav, but i find it easier to work with warm ones (I used to put a cool overlay over all my warm toned drawings hgdhfg)

7. show us a WIP behold, the wip ever. this drawing... was supposed to be posted on august 2022. and then, it was supposed to be posted on dec 21st, dream and nightmares birthday. (atp if I do end up wanting to finish this idea again, I'll probably just scrap it and start over)

8. what's the most fun and least fun parts about your process? most fun is flat color and rendering. (though I rarely do the latter anymore) and for least fun, tbh a lot of the sketching part tends to be difficult for me, sometimes its cool tho

9. show us a finished piece alongside the original sketch example from when sketching was fun

10. how many different sketches do you usually have until your piece is finished? I think I do need to make more of at least thumbnail sketches tbh.. I usually just make one and keep editing it, trusting the process. (and that fails like 70% of the time. woww wonder why sketching isnt fun for me-) 11. show us the last thing you drew, be it a finished piece or a small doodle can this count,,

12. show us an old drawing first deltarune drawing. here's the redraw I later made of this :3 (also old hsgdhgf)

13. how long do you usually take one a piece? depends. I'll have like 276478923 wips started, and then I get a random idea that I just have to do right at that moment, and I'll get it done in like 1-4 hours. meanwhile old sketches start to rot and maybe if its lucky I'll revisit it before my motivation dies and my style is too different to wanna continue from where I left off 14. digital or traditional? digital all the way, i've gotten too dependent on the transform tool + liquefy ;D (and many other things tbh but I'd be here all day if I tried comparing them more jhdjdf)

15. if digital, what program do you use? procreate, the layouts on other drawing programs scare me

16. favorite media to work with when drawing traditionally pen on paper (am I understanding this right wdym media-)

17. what do you love getting compliments about? I like when people enjoy the humanizations I come up with, and also original designs in general 18. are you satisfied with the attention your art usually gets? hmmm yeah

19. how often do you draw? very often, I just don't have finished things to share most days

20. a piece from this year that you're really proud of :3

21. something you would like to improve on the dynamicness (well, the lack of it) of everything, as said before

22. what inspires you? Ink sans and a ton of creators in this fandom (also animated shows and movies, I love animation)

23. what's something you hope people notice when looking at your art? idk tbh, just notice it at all and I'm happy :>
