Ichika from Spilled Ink on youtube! :]

[pixlrose]

So I have been really enjoying the YouTube channel Spilled Ink made by Emirichu and Daidus! If you haven’t checked it out I highly recommend it’s a very good time, but the two made a channel mascot who’s name is Ichika, he’s a strawberry squid who is just the cutest. I had to make some fan art :3 so here he is my best drawing I could muster.

(Also if you are a fan I know it’s kinda against the channels whole thing to make digital art but that’s my best medium)

BITCH WHY HE SO SILLY?? ALSO IT'S ICHIKA !!

(He looks so deep-fried in so many of these and ??? )

Monthly Report - May 2024

New month, new format attempt with this. Throwing everything together randomly at month's end didn't sit right with me. Attempting to do it daily didn't either.

May this be a happy medium. I am going to try to split it in "arcs" and introduce a formatting boost.

Holo x Gundam Arc

Only one entry here as this was the tail end of a Hololive x Gundam fanart arc. It was a Biboo themed Gyan. As jank as it looks, I put a stupid amount of effort into it. It became a Xeno's Paradox like situation where I could feel burnout settling in meaning what work I did felt like I was making less ground.

Maybe going forward I could care less about strict month ends and do roughly month chunks depending on where these "arcs" fall to avoid this situation in the future?

Random Arc

There didn't seem to be a theme here.

Herodotus here was an art exercise that I wish I could remember who I heard it from. It was a shading exercise where you don't shade. You try to do do everything in flat high contrast.

I forget what I was doing with the other two.

Shading Arc

101 and 103 aside, this was a relatively long and consistent arc. It started with a slime and giving some translucency a try. Then studying shade on a statue leading into a painterly bug inspired piece. Then onwards.

I really liked how the top row and the island pick worked out.

Refocus Arc

A bit too varied for a hard listing.

106 and 110 were straight up fanart.

107 is straight up missing. I tried a mix of Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, and Photoshop. Maybe it got lost in the shuffle. Maybe I spent two days on 106. That was turning out to be somewhat time consuming and 108 I was burned out on.

111 was me trying to draw along with one of Ninomae Ina'Nis' drawing videos. A Christmas card one?

116 was a half-finished sketch of Bookseller Honda-san.

117 was Ichika from Spilled Ink.

118 was blocking out a public transport drive. Inspired by another drawing of Ina's. Never got around finishing.

As I said, varied, but nearly each one was individually trying something new or had intent going into it.

Here are at day 119, not yet drawn (eyes the 23:36 on the clock), I don't know where it goes from here. After 117 I decided I needed to refocus on avoiding the blend shading as a potential crutch. I might try... I don't even know the word for it. Flatter or sharper color edges?

Shading Arc 2

Started at the tail end of the month. Not sure I have too much of a thought on this one.

Slime just looks... eh. Handless Haunter I feel was a good effort in the shading dept, but a complete disaster elsewhere. Slime neko *cough* fanart, what shading I did felt like a huge improvement.

The Copy X fanart was a multiple day thing. This was just day 1.

for @lgcichika for the party

he had been keeping an eye out for anyone in particular that shared a little of the same obsession had in particular...for marvel and their godless heroes. especially--that of natasha romanoff....his thoughts stray from him in the split moment, attention caught by the momentary flash of a red wig in the distance.

almost instinctively, he speed walked right towards the flash of red, brushing aside his blonde hair that he had temporarily dyed for a maximoff effect. 

“ahem. sorry.” a faint blush tainted his cheeks as he peered at the unfamiliar face, tilting his head as he waved bravely in greeting. 

“ is that natasha or wanda that you’re going as?” he flashed ichika a wide grin, almost cheeky and yet still laced thoroughly with excitement. “i couldn’t help but notice the red wig and the catsuit so--i’m inclined to think that you’re going as nat.” he rocked a little upon his feet, clearly excited. “ and i absolutely, adore anyone that loves natasha like i do.” he puffed his chest out a little, a sheepish grin dancing across his lips at his own nerdy declaration. 

“ i love marvel. god i can’t remember how many times i’ve watched black widow recently.” he prattled on, unaware that he might have been holding up the other a little belatedly.

Day 117

Decided to use Ichika from the Spilled Ink (spilledinkyt) YouTube channel by Daidus and Emirichu for this day's practice.

Used bits from their video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8mOBldcPzs, for reference. Maybe about two hours. Did it while watching episodes 1 and 2 from "For All Mankind" season 3.

Still attempting the blur/painterly coloring, but I think I need to step back from that. Gave up trying to make it work before trying to color in the strawberry portion itself.

Tried to keep the tentacles positioned to avoid having to draw the suckers.
