The One Comment I’ve Gotten Was About… I Think Offering Their Services To Animate Or Promote It Or

remembering what past versions of Onyx looked and acted like… so I wrote them down

I literally created Onyx right after Sonic 3 came out, and she’s already on her sixth version.

(Also, typing out “sixth” felt so wrong. It doesn’t even look like a real word.)

Anyway…

Ok, so, I start with a planning document, writing down whatever vague idea I have in my head.

And then, I add to it.

And then (once I have enough of an idea), I create several more documents over whatever amount of time it takes for me to get a semi-clear outline done.

And then, I continue to modify my outline while writing my main story.

…and that’s as far as I’ve gotten.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

hello writers.

these are just…too pretty not to share

this was just me trying to see what shade my mixture of paint was (I was using gouache)

and these were the halves of paper towels I put under my paper while painting

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.

drew this little guy and wanted to share 💜

Doesn’t look very good, lol Still practicing.

mushroom doodles from this week

Drew these all with the same pen. Got a lot better at shading with a pen over the time I drew these all.

“Shadeau”

Edit: Changed it.

It might be “Shadeau”, actually.

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.

Love this. It’s just the way it do be sometimes. (This especially helps with my embarrassment about writing.)

Hope this spreads to other artists and whatnot. Y’all need it.
