new armor design for Kailu! also finally assembled a complete ref for him lol

[thebluetemple]

Tried something out with a sketch of a new oc- the left version was colored first with no reference at all, and then the right one was done second using a photo of myself for lighting and structure reference. I like both, but the one using reference is definitely more dynamic and interesting to me, and was also way faster to color :)

Hi there! My name is Alek, and I'm the artist behind this blog :) I just wanted to put out a brief update on the state of things, as I'm making plans for my art for the coming year!

First and foremost, I plan to stream some of my art on twitch! I will be using an account that I've previously used for streaming games, just dusted off and tweaked to make room for art as well. You can find it at EndFodder on twitch. My very tentative plan is to stream on Saturdays in the late morning to early afternoon, but that is subject to change.

(I might dip back into streaming games there as well, but I'll do my best to make it clear in the stream title/notif which one the stream of the day will be.)

My hope is that this will help me stay consistent with my art amidst working full time and other life circumstances. To honor that goal, I also have a very particular New Year's resolution: being as 2024 is the year of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, I am going to draw as many dragons as I am able over the course of this year. No real pressure around it, just a fun ongoing project to keep me motivated.

That's all from me for now! My your 2024 be peaceful and fruitful, and I hope to see you on the streams <3
