Some Painting Practice With One Of My Characters ‘cause It’s Been A While. Not Finished And Probably

Found this weird little comic thing in my files lol, pretty sure it was photographed from an iPad so apologies for the quality (or lack thereof). He's a questionable role model but he means well

Transcription under the cut in case you can't read my horrible awful handwriting (and translation from YVese)

Man I think that's the second time that the punchline to one of my drawings was a character watching Pickle Rick. Idk what that says about me as a person (besides the fact that I wanna go back to 2017 [if that ain't a red flag idk what is])

A gift/late Art Fight revenge for my buddy @razziliciousart !! We’ve both got bat sonas, but hers is afraid of heights and mine loves to be high up, so I wanted to play with that dynamic a bit. :D

I’ve never been so proud of one of my pieces before. I didn’t know I had something like this in me and I got really emotional when it was finished because I finally feel like I’m becoming the artist I’ve always wanted to be. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do! <3 <3

Oh, on another note, could someone tell me the Tumblr method for replying to comments on your posts? People are being so sweet and I wanna thank them but I’m not sure how! 

Study, ~2 hr

Feeling weird about my process rn and figured it'd be good for me. Mainly trying to work on color, light as it plays on fur, shape language and behind-the-scenes stuff like layer blend modes and orders. I feel I learned a lot about light here, actually! Subsurface scattering is way more prevalent than I thought. That, and leaves are very reflective.

What is Kaput and Zösky’s idea for a romantic date?

Depends on who you ask

My finished entry for the CoS thumbnail contest! Oh man I worked my ass off on this, made half a piece (poll winner; #7) and then decided I didn't like it and went with my personal favorite. Churned this baby out in about four days which is quite the speedrun for me.

There are a ton of super gorgeous entries so I don't expect to win, but I think I have a pretty decent chance! Either way I hope you enjoy it! :]c Happy recode release week!! I am beyond hyped fr

Oops, almost forgot to post!

Hooray, another finished piece, and this time something all for myself! :D This is my boy Ikkii, he's my first fursuit! Well, kinda. He's just a head, saw him for sale real cheap on eBay and just fell in love with him so made the plunge since I've always wanted a suit. Then I asked my buddy Fantia to design the rest of him, and I just adore him even more now!

He needed a pfp and I needed to paint something so here he is in his fluffy glory. ^^ If you wanna see his suit head it's on his TH!

*smile ding noise*

Hiii it's very nice to see you back again! I hope you and you're sister are okay and happy, and if you aren't then I pray you guys will be soon 💕 also lovely lovely art as always hehe

Thank you so much, I hope so too! I appreciate your words of support a lot. Big e-hugs 🫶

Hi! I want to preface this by saying that I mean absolutely no disrespect; nothing but support to my fellow artist, your style is unique and valuable and that doesn't go unappreciated!

With that being said, I really do not think this technique should be relied on for beginner artists. The individual parts are there, but with fundamentals it's REALLY important you understand how they're put together; they serve as the basis for everything you draw and getting to know them right can save you a TON of hardship in the future!

It's also worth mentioning that the sad truth is that neither of these techniques are gonna take you only fifteen minutes if you're drawing anything other than a sphere haha, but I really enjoy the process personally! Everything's made out of shapes, so put on a video essay about some game you've never heard of and do your thing, it's therapeutic!

Remember to be careful when it comes to online tutorials and not just take my or any other rando's word for it! I'm not an expert; ideally you'd be learning things like fundamentals from professionals. Marco Bucci and Proko are two of my favorites who provide their super valuable knowledge for free on YT in really digestible ways; they've helped me a lot throughout the years.

And, most of all, remember that there's really no wrong way to draw as long as you're having fun. If you're getting something out of the experience, then you're doing it right!

Happy arting, everybody! ^^

fast rendering tutorial for when you dont want to put in any effort

100%’d one of my favorite games of all time. :D

Approx an hour. Looks kind of awful but hey, it’s all a learning experience <3 Hoping to do the rest of the galaxies at some point, too!
