Warmest disconnect by keeping all eyes in the dark

slams desk like the Detroit become human meme: "23 HOURS!"

well more like 24 as I transferred it over to Photopia just to do some final editing touches.

Every year I like to make one piece that pushes my skills as to what I can do, last year was more a linework thing with this artwork of mine here. So this year I knew I had to go with a painted render as I haven't done one in so long.

I think this can be considered my magnum opus so far? in terms of time spent on a thing. I started this in late December and have been working on it on and off until now, their was multiple times where I thought Id NEVER get finished but I finally did! IM FREE, the freaky bastard IS DONE. As I look at it theirs some things ill always think need tweaking but it was becoming a thing where id just be picking away at it forever otherwise.

I might upload a process video of this with the Skinny Puppy song linked if Tumblr decides to behave with the video upload. Idk if the song really fits him per say? I think it does a little but at the same time its just what I had on repeat whilst drawing this and was like hmm ye hmm this has grabber vibes.

I couldn't make any art without music, its like the bread and butter to the process of like figuring out a set up and for staging an idea I want to draw. Sorry if this is all sounding a bit pretentious now, I just spent so long on this ahah!

Anyway I love this weird freak. Its funny because I despised this character at first, (I think that was mostly due to the sheer amount of stupid takes that where going on when the black phone first came out) but then quickly realized, oh hey these are the same talking points people used back for Freddy Kruger and pennywise THIS IS FUCKING STUPID then he grew on me like a parasite and now hes one of my favorite blorbos going <3

Anyway, If you read any of this rambling thanks and here's a cookie 🍪

Love the moderation and feed features so far. it doesn't have that swamped icky feeling that Twitter has. Plus I've managed to find 90% of artists I used to follow across different sites and gradually finding more!

I'll give out codes to mutes and so on when I get them 🙏

Artist ask: 6 & 26

6 What’s your least favorite thing to draw?

OH Vehicles for sure! 🚗 You think oh it's just the same distinct shape it must be straightforward but no! It's exactly that rigidness that makes it difficult for me and my brain just wants to turn off when it comes to technical drawing.

My partner however loves cars and bikes and draws them amazingly and makes like 3d model animations of cars and spaceships on blender and they just blow my mind, truly a wizard!

Oh another thing would be happy families as in like actual family portraits, can't stand them! 😂 thankfully cause online my brand is horror and weird shit I've never been asked of this. (and never would agree if I was!)

But when people outside of the Internet have seen my more superficial stuff that I dont post here you get the, oh your an artist please draw me and my darling kids and well I've had to politely decline just saying I wouldn't do them justice. 😅 I've done pet portrait commissions privately for people though and find those fun!

26 For digital artists: what program(s) do you use?

Pretty much just use Procreate these days as it's the most comfortable drawing program I've ever used. I love that it feels like I'm drawing on paper with it and I feel I can push my art as I want it to like I'm using traditional tools, whether it's experimental painting or black work ink stuff.

The odd time I would use clip studio paint and this is if I'm going to be working on a massive piece or doing a polished up comic for someone or for myself. Not saying you can't do this in procreate but Clip studios just more equipped for heavier stuff like that and has loads of neat built in features when it does come to large scale/comic stuff and does animation too!

Thank you for the asks buddy. Ended up rambling a bit there 😵
