I'm almost done with a commission I've had for over 3 months, time for a celebration fusion!

Also, if I really grind it out, I think I will be able to post my first attempt at a video essay in about a month, maybe? IDK, this is a lot of unfamiliar territory for me, lmao. And I am still a wee bit embarrassed by the sound of my own voice, haha.

My first attempt to study the Prof. Layton art style. This is something I wanted to do since I was a kid, so getting around to it now feels amazing! Wish I had a better idea of how to do so efficiently, though...

I even did a version where I did a faux compression effect on the image, but I suppose the better action is to work on a smaller canvas. Also, I have a habit of adding more lines than necessary to certain designs due to a lack of confidence, so I'll be working on that next! c:

Might start doing a video series where I record my art studies and do little reports on what I am thinking with each attempt; sounds kinda fun!

I'm on a weekend trip and got in some watercolor time c:

It is a mix of some spooky art I saw and a short horror story my dad told me about!

To help make more frequent uploads, I decided to post WIPs of my characters/projects, hopefully making an interesting timeline for my development process. Keep in mind that these are part WIP and part art studies, so I will make note of my references in my desc.

Here is my first attempt at drawing one of my characters from an original fiction project. Nowhere near her final design, but a good start at figuring her out, I used Nausicaa and Fio from Studio Ghibli as references.

Iona Fontaine is the main character in my story, Flight of the Dragonfly. She is an acrobatics pilot turned gunner ship pilot for hire by people looking to make caravan trains through the Ætheinite Desert. I'll post more about her after some research into the influences I want her to have[i.e., cultures, professions, etc.], but I will say her overall character arc surrounds themes of forgiveness and self-acceptance.

Also, goofy hair has plot relevance, but I definitely need to make it look less punk and more reflective of Iona's character. All easier to design AFTER I do my pre-production research, lol!

Part art study, part fan art! I gave myself a 24hr time limit to complete this, and I am pretty proud of it c:

I'm early but funk it; pfp for Pride month. I always get distracted and miss my chance to do this sort of thing for fun. So, I'm gonna post early about having my identity be that I demi-demi-don't care!

Now I just need to use this pfp for pride; I can't possibly screw that up, can I?

Since I felt bad about not finishing my first sticker design when I wanted to, here is a sneak peek via my study file!

It'll be done when it is done[I guess].

Needed a break from my college thesis assignments; so I made the first Pokemon fusion generator made[https://japeal.com/pkm/]

School takes up 90% of my life, with sleep taking 5%; can't wait to graduate so I can do other funk'n things with my life, lol

Btw btw just wanted to say that I noticed my blog breached 50+ watchers, this is the most I've ever had on a SMS so I do wanna thank everyone for following, even if a good chunk are bots from Twitter or whatever has been happening[idk, never did a tweet before or whatever the fuk]

My next post will probably be my first try at stickers to sell online, probably from Redbubble [unless they are sketchy for some reason lol], so stay tuned!

#yay #trying my best #confidence is for nerds #hope this wasnt too cringe lol

Been thinking about posting some of my preproduction work for stories n' stuff[might make books or videogames idfk]. On the one hand, I might get more people interested in my bigger projects and some good feedback, but the cons are some internet gremlins stealing from my dragon hoard of incomplete concepts and designs. But, then again, if I don't post, how shall I ever get attention I so dearly crave from them random internet gremlins?!?!

Selkie monster is based in part on the Inuit goddess Sedna. Used fan coral as a texture in the hair and as a prop for her to hold c:

This is a super old concept made as a vent, but now that I have some time to process everything, I was able to complete it. Thus, ending that chapter of my life c:
