#ominous art

[ominousvibez]

attempt at LMK style without tracing. Not too bad!

Featuring: different outfits that Danny wears. AKA the three-ish outfits I can design at the moment. The memory scroll outfits are meant to be a basic inversion as Fenton/Phantom.

Back during HF (prerequisite school thing for Uni), during particularly difficult to focus on classes, I started making these red landscapes. It was about 2011-13. Recently, while having some downtime at work, I've come back to them.

This is from a few days ago (7/7-23) and made with fineliners and a cheap red marker on "layout paper".

More examples and experiments, the old drawings and musings about the process below the fold.

It started out as a productive way of slowly letting time pass. Doing something monotonous but creative, which would take a long time to finish. All I had was the note-paper and whatever was in my pencil case (Which to be fair, was well stocked).

These two are from back then, probably a couple of days apart, probably took a few days each. I don't remember. The left one, the one with the "waterfall" was my first attempt. The one on the right was the third, after a bit of experimenting on what worked and didn't. The second attempt of experiments are further down.

I've removed the holes from the paper digitally, just for transparency (lol)

Recently, I've had a lot of wait time at work. InDesign is bloated and slow, my computer is quite a bit lacking in RAM and the books we are working with atm is quite heavy. So, I've had some time while waiting for files to export, books to package and documents to open. This has resulted in some experimenting.

The top-left one was the second made after getting back into the flow of the process. The first one is not much different, so not included. I hadn't seen the originals for years, so there are some very obvious differences, but the elements are there. The top-right one was made more as an experiment: what if I make ruler-lines to space out the clouds. I like the effect. More geometric, but it does take away from the original, ominous feeling.

After the experiment (see also the bottom right drawing in the following picture.) I dug out the old drawings and referenced them, as you can see on the bottom right post-it (which is still WIP). The bottom left one is abandoned.

It's both a meditative and obsessive process. Most of the drawings (All those shown here) are made without a sketch. I prefer to just jump into it, slowly building up the layers of mist and rock formations.

The biggest problem is that I get absolutely swallowed up by the process. When I've started, I have a very hard time stopping again. It gets into my brain and continuing working on it becomes all I can think about.

I have to take breaks and I have to aggressively force myself to do so, as the tiny little lines in these does a number on my wrist and forearm. And I'd like to keep those for as long as possible. I have to physically remove myself from my desk, as I have proven myself able and willing to work through the pain.

So I'm taking a break between drawings so I can maybe focus on something else. Like making this post lol

Thank you for reading <3 I very much appreciate it.

i don't think "puppet on a string" is the right term, really. it's more of a willing descent.

Chara Week Day 5: Ghost

Every time I see that machine in the True Lab, I wonder if it could possibly be Chara's soul in there? Probably unlikely, but not impossible... It's interesting to think about what the implications of that would be.

A version with no text and then a version with just the machine, because I think it looks pretty cool and ominous alone as well.....

#chara week #chara week 2023 #undertale #safeutdr #chara dreemurr #my art #chara #undertale chara #chara undertale #true lab #I'm just thinking that. while it's possible that their soul shattered when they and Asriel died. we don't actually KNOW what happened #and human souls persist for a little while after death..... idk I'm bad at coming up with theories but I'm Thinking about it #and I will continue thinking about it even though it's probably not significant at all #ANYWAY it gave me a cool art idea so here you go. and hrm. yes technically I got that line from the Stay Calm fnaf fansong. specifically. #i don't like fnaf but the song is cool........... I'm pretty sure it gave me the idea for this drawing when i sketched it last may #btw yeah that's why i did this drawing specifically for this prompt. i had the sketch lying around and thought it would be fun to finish #ALSO I'm realizing that the dark ominous backgrounds of the True Lab are soooo fun to draw. especially with red glowy effects #AUGH oh no....... my habit of rambling excessively in the tags is returning........ I'll stop now lol
