Messy Bass drawing

At the start of this project all I wanted was to 'learn how to draw' using comics as a medium and the MDZS audio drama as inspiration.

I've come *very* far from making simple, 3 panel black and white comics, and I truly do intend to go even further. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on throughout 2023, it has been an incredible year in so many ways I never could have imagined. I look forwards to drawing throughout 2024 B*)

#poorly drawn mdzs #art summary #It's so interesting looking back at how my style and technique changed throughout the year! #I used PD-wwx as the consistent factor (October is an exception) and you can see so many processes going on. #My little petri dish amoeba (with a little red bow to tell him apart from the other amoeba) <3 #Whether it's getting new markers or trying out a new shading style - it's cool seeing a snapshot of my journey like this B*) #There's certainly been a slower curve to my overt improvement *but* I have become so much faster! #My life outside of drawing has been hectic and at several points extremely stressful this year. For all the work this blog has been- #-It has truly been a life saving anchor when the darkest of times have hit. #Love is hard work. Change is even harder work. Sticking to a goal I set out for myself and striving to keep going was worth it. #And I love drawing. I think there has always been something in me that longed for this. And it is finally tangible! I can draw!!! #I wanted to make a more elaborate year reflection where I looked back at my favourite comics and jokes. #but I'll leave that to the one year anniversary. #I have also been collecting a ton of statistics throughout the year and I am desperate to share them. I'm that kind of nerd B*) #I can never say it enough: Thank you all for the kindness and support. I wish everyone a lovely 2024!!!

#arttag #atsv #ghostflower #gwiles #miles morales #gwen stacy #tried giving each one their own respective style #so miles was done with marker brushes and gwen with watercolors and pencil #also wanted to make it sort of like miles has the light and it's not fully reaching gwen cause of The Horrors #like they're not connecting or whatever #dude idk i feel so stupid whenever i try to explain the thought process behind a drawing lmao #basically just wanted to do something fun and artsy because i haven't had time to draw lately! #anyway. they're on my mind all the time and if they don't make up in the next one i'll be devastated actually

After 6.75 hours of this i finally finished

I really like the mask thats my favorite part of this

#it turned out better than i thought it would #my one set of markers and colored pencils pulled through i suppose #although #i wanted to give up after i started coloring 😭 #all my purple markers were too dark or warm-toned #also i just really suck at color matching sometimes #but i didnt even have the right colors to match #half of it has blue underneath it to try to make it any bit better #anyways i did NOT give up so woohoooo #never give up guys #those are my words of wisdom #alr im done talking theres too many tags now #chonny jash #chonnys charming chaos compendium #cccc #cccc fanart #cj fanart #cj heart #cj soul #cj mind #🗣️ #my art

Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow

hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.

like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.

anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

#stuff like accepting that i'm reserved and i'm not very accessible via messages. #or that my online tone isn't very bubbly and it's weird and uncomfortable to force it. #i stop letting fears about that shape my behavior ('i'll look mean or snotty so let's force markers of Friendliness to avoid that!!') - #- and instead act the way i want to and then trade it in for new fears that come After the action. #also a good reminder to give urself is that if ur fear is abt how other ppl perceive u (as 90% of mine is personally) #u really... can't actually control that. and being very very anxious abt it all the time is usually ur brain throwing a tantrum abt not-- #--having that control. bc it is understandably very scary that u don't have that control #as much as it sucks + is terrifying the truth is the only thing u can do is ask urself 'am i behaving in a way that i'm proud of' #'am i behaving in a way that's in alignment w my values + what i think is important' #bc if the answer to that is yes and somebody hates u or is deeply offended by ur existence anyway. well. literally not ur problem #but obv being at peace w that is way way easier said than done + requires tons of practice and will take. probably. years. which is fine #i am stuck with myself. i can either contort myself forever trying to be someone everyone will like and find totally nonthreatening and- #inoffensive and in the process exhaust myself totally and never feel safe or natural myself. OR #i can say okay. so i am a kind of prickly guy with stern and drab speech patterns and close to no social energy. and i think i can still be #-sexy and fun this way. and it is up to other ppl to figure out if they can agree w me on that #ANYWAY enough rambling for now. just another one of those things i think abt a lot so i have a lot of ready-made sentences abt it in mind

[theonewhowails]

in my head this is how Divine Inspiration works

#cotl #my art #cotl lamb #cotl the one who waits #UGH i miss computer i miss being able to easily edit things😭 #if you work with traditional mediums and want to make a comic with black speech bubbles and red text #my first and best piece of advice is: dont #my second piece of advice is #rather than try and do the red text first and then colour black in around it #colour in the whole speech bubble black #then use a paint marker/pen on top. i have a white paint marker so i let it dry and then coloured on top of that with red #do not recommend #anyways. i dont really think narinder would say 'lol idk' HOWEVER the image is funy to me #and also i definitely dont think he gives a shit about how these things affect mortals #i however. initially thought that 'demon possesses ur follower to accompany you into battle' would mean something like #like. they fight and can get KILLED. and run at anything that can aggro like a fucking diablo companion #so i avoided it my whole first playthrough and suffered a lot for it #i got stuck on kallamar and got really stressed about how my followers were dying faster than i could acquire new ones #and also now that i had a full set of doctrines i really regretted some of my choices bc they didnt pair up so well #so i started a new game and decided to be evil #and thats how i ended up fully filling out the folower forms! :]

《Crescent》

#the format is 10 by 15 cm thought thatd be funny to share #also welcome to at least one marker dies when i try to color the bg (help me) #my art #pokemon rejuvenation #pokemon rejuvenation crescent #nevertheless i think it looks nice #you really dont want to know how many times i had to redraw her right arm and hand #i am also aware of the fact that absolutely nothing is symmetric #the unshaded version is between me and arceus

Probably, it would be smarter if I practiced. Actually learned anatomy and God knows what else that I should've learn ages ago. I don't do smarter, though.

That's why I drew it on a tiny post-it note. If his face looks wonky (and it does look wonky), that's the reason. It's tiny.

#I also wanted to try out the markers #they're not bad per se #but i kid you not I have three colours I could use instead of black and you won't spot the difference #and any colour doesn't look like it was supposed to #also I'm sorry for the mouth being misplaced #it seems there's no ctrl z while drawing on paper #but of course I tapped the paper with two fingers to undo because why shouldn't I #good omens #good omens 2 #fanart #traditional #aziraphale #michael sheen #one day I'll do this picture justice #today is not the day #so bear with me and all the anatomy mistakes I made

But I just want to explore the world... Jamandi Aldori, the (to be) Baroness, Amiri, Jaethal, etc / Pathfinder Kingmaker (c) Owlcat Games

#pfkm #pathfinder kingmaker #pathfinder kingmaker fanart #owlcat games #comic #jamandi aldori #pfkm baroness #oc ailcha #this game was an interesting experience. #I walked in blind and was kinda smacked over the head with the whole manage-an-entire-region gameplay;; #I was also unaware that basically the entire game is timed. I understand why from a lore-perspective but /playing/ it is... uh..... #so I just went from being completely stressed out trying to manage all the (sometimes hidden) deadlines - #(the writer(s) of the fandom wiki pages for the first chapters with the AAC markers - you are excellent and perfect and thank you) #- and then you suddenly have nothing to do for months? m o n t h s! #so you just sit there with the kingdom management for hours trying not to ruin it and burn everything to the ground. #but I still liked the game as a whole?? it's one of those titles I finished while thinking 'never again' but then started to yearn for. #my poor baroness. I had not prepared her for all those responsibilities. nor the titles. oh the titles... #all of my characters just wants to walk around in the forest with their friends and collect loot forever #my mary sues

Alright, I tried blackout poetry

#i actually messed up with this one #i accidentally blacked out a word i wanted to use lol #this was pretty hard 😭 #i definitely should have used a pen or somethibg instead of an alcohol marker cause woo boy #Definitely smells #i also had to edit the photo a bit since this was a thrifted book and someone made annotations in green pen #and i didnt want to have that on there since i dont actually know what they say lol #cant read the hand writing 🤷‍♂️ #it felt very good marking out words in a book i hate tho #very fun #will try again

Finally made it through (Patreon)

#Doodles #Here it is! Finally transitioning into 2024 doodles! Heck!! #A small handful to bid the year goodbye #Starting with trying to doodled something and it not going to plan so nevermind lol #Sucks too 'cause it was one of those shower thoughts that I got Really excited about and then every step ended up getting frustrated #Wanted to make a cover of a song and then the song had no instrumental-only version :/ #Okay well the concept was meant to be a fem cover of non-human characters - I'll draw up what I think they'd look like! No #Designs were underwhelming and looked weird :// So I gave up lol #Maybe another day! But not this day not when I keep being stopped lol #Only Christmas! Yes I wore the ribbons it's an important tradition and also I like cute in them #Ma got me some fine-tip markers so I had to test them haha - they scan a bit dark so I don't think I'd use them for scanned doodles #That purple is pretty tho I do like it #Was really excited about the gold but nahh oh well I still appreciate them haha #Oh and the tests were on my latest Blank Slate scratch page haha #I've set it down again for the moment but Ch. 4 is probably about 70% done! :) #Had a lot of fun moving pieces around hehe ♪ To no one's surprise Scriabin has painted himself into a corner #Might have a mini project/side project planned around Blank Slate at some point hmmm #Other than the fic itself haha #And finally seeing out the year - it's been over for a while now! #Always feels funny to approach it's end and ring in the new

ermmmm (sneak peek)

#my art #do not copy trace or steal #didnt mean to include the brush/cursor but i personally think it adds to the wip feel and bc i dont want it being nabbed BAHAHA #im actually so mad so im upstairs for the next few weeks/month or so to keep an eye on pasty (this isnt the part where im mad) #so my dad helped me get my tablet fixed up to my laptop since i dont want to have to move all of my office stuff upstairs and after we got #that figured out i just needed to get my brushes back since my main ones arent preset brushes. theyre the pastel brush and marker brush #specifically and i also love the bumpy art pen and faint acrylic paint brush (< casually drops all of my brushes #bc i love them so much and i think everyone who has firealpaca should at least try them out bc they are so good) #ANYWAY. so im looking at the brush store and i see the chopstick brush. YALL im actually so mad how good it looks and how i feel using it #an actual gamechanger what in the world #i thiiiiink id like to do more of these semi realistic wc drawings so we'll see how this one turns out + how i feel about it

Finally giving Final Fantasy XIV a try now that I have the computer space. My boy Izayoi Matsuri is a dumbass who tries to climb on top of everything as a shortcut and can't see where he's going.

#Final Fantasy XIV #FFXIV #I say my dumbass boy as if I'm not the one controlling him #I wanted to play with a friend but a lot of the stuff is locked behind leveling up so I wanted to speed through doing that #So I didn't read any of the dialogue so far or watch any cutscenes #Plotwise I have absolutely no idea what's going on #I'm moving on quest markers alone and that means I'm not even looking at him- I'm looking at the map #Ran my poor boy into so many things he probably got brain damage now from glitching through roots #If I draw anymore FFXIV stuff it'll probably be as me but I wanted to draw Matsuri at least once because I spent 3 hours designing him #3 god forsaken hours to find out you can change his clothes with armor so his tummy is gonna be hidden anyways #And then like 30 minutes on trying to name him by Au Ra standards before looking at the moon and going 'I'm gonna name him moon festival' #Insanity Draws #Insanity of Mojiru

Guess what movie I watched yesterday (it was 'Chicken run: dawn of the nugget')

Anyway British chicken am I right 🐓 (I know that this is a rooster but I didn't like the chicken emoji)

#i might share my opinion of the movie in another post if i feel like it #btw that one star trek reference in tge first chicken run caught me really off guard #and yes. i watched them first one really recently to have it fresh in mind to compare it with the second #chicken run #chicken run dawn of the nugget #ginger #rocky #molly #i dont know how to tag these characters tbh #chicken #fanart #art #they kiss with their chicken lips ♡ #i used all my markers and highlighters to try to make three different oranges that'll look similar to ther canon colors #and they all turned out the same (not really) #im so tired #i need a break #i want to draw them chickens with their weird human teeth #traditional art
