First Time Drawing Sonic Characters!! 🥳

Reblogging because I’ve gotten comments like this on my blog before. I’ve gone through and blocked all comments like this already.

It’s good to stay aware of these types of things.

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Concept art ideas for two of the main characters in my story I’m starting to write again. I started writing it when I was 11 (during the pandemic) and recently rediscovered it.

Characters:

Luna Pearl (main character) [I drew her last and got lazy, lol. I’m not really good at drawing two eyes or hands yet…and I drew the hoodie after I drew her hands behind her back…😭] I’ll redraw her soon, I swear.

Rose Star (first acquired friend) [Had a lot more motivation with drawing her since I drew her first…]

If anybody is curious, I’m uploading my story to Wattpad. It’s called The Tales of a Mermaid Princess. My username is Radioactive_piano over there.

looking through my old artwork

This was probably the first drawing I did of mushrooms.

Just realized I colored her in wrong 😭

Fixed it, though.

drawing Onyx again ✨

The only difference is that the one on the right is at 175% zoom instead of only 100% zoom.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY WAS TODAY?!?

Drew this last year. Here you go. This was supposed to be a profile pic for one of my accounts. I’ll try to draw something better to add to this, but this was all I had right now.

…I hate that I have to exclude the people without an account from seeing my writing… but… I don’t want my writing to be fed to an AI without my knowledge (not like I’d do that willingly anyway).

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

Experimenting with which way I want to do this…I have 8 different ways I did this.

mushroom #1:

draw

shade

outline

paint (gouache)

couldn’t decide which lighting I liked better…so have both! (There will be two pictures with slightly different lighting for the rest of the mushrooms as well)

still working on figuring out how to draw my Sonic OC

She’s starting to look better… I think I figured out the quills… but I can’t get the eyes a reasonable size, lol

Colored her in on IbisPaintX:

Surprisingly, it only took me a little over two hours to color her in on IbisPaintX.
