I Was Sketching A Bit And Ended Up With Cross! (I Kind Of Don't Like It Entirely, But Once Drawn On Paper

I have to admit, I set too high goals for myself this year of ArtFight (but I tend to do that very often.)

About me

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog page. I'm lostvi and I like drawing stuff 😋

Currently, you can expect infrequent updates on me drawing from doodles to finished pieces (although those are mostly rare) My next long-term goal is drawing short comics to get a feel for composition and backgrounds. Furthermore, my big dream is to create my own animations. But I guess, step by step, am I right?

I am currently working on my own story that I call "In-Between". You might see me post some stuff about my OCs.

Things I like: Undertale, MC Life Series and Hermitcraft and My Hero Academia.

If you want to ask me anything, feel free to do so.

I'm just doodling. Thought I'd try something new for one of my OCs and ended up doodling two.

I finally got over my art block 😀

The key was, to draw something different than what I was struggling with. I was so frustrated and at the same time fixed on drawing the face right, that I didn't realize that I had no fun doing that. After my mother asked me why I don't draw something different than faces, I drew her a couple of trees to prove that I could draw something different. after that I continued with the trees and realized that I was missing fun while drawing. Thanks for that, mom😘

I was listening to one of my usual playlists and then I had this scene once again in my head. I thought, why not try to draw it and it turned out amazing 🤩 I really need to draw more backgrounds, it's fun. I was also able to put my perfectionsim aside for that one. It's so imperfect that it makes it perfect again.

In this picture, you see my oc Ike. Since I don't want this post to get too long, I will introduce you to his backstory another time.

Found this little goober while looking through my sketchbook.

Chapter 1

Okay, I've changed my mind. Here you have the entire first chapter 😁

<…>

I saw one of my holograms suddenly shine white. As the light was gone again, I was only able to see a silhouette being left in a white void. I stared at the scene. Was I supposed to … Should I intervene? … I shouldn't. I shouldn't interact with other AUs. I laid my head on the table. It was supposed to happen that way …

Somehow, I still was staring at the screen. I should probably just simply ignore that, turn off the screen and continue with … Yeah, I mean with whatever I'm doing right now. Not caring …

The dark dot left on the screen still didn't move. Why couldn't I just ignore that? It's just another AU that got destroyed. But something was different from the other ones. I couldn't quite yet figure out what it was, but there was something special about that AU. Something that dragged my attention ...

I got up, annoyed, and teleported to the AU. Maybe I could stop thinking about it if I paid that place a visit. The moment I arrived there, I was greeted by an uneasy feeling. That emptiness … it was way too familiar … I suppressed my upcoming memories and realised that this world had no trace of its source code anymore. It was entirely empty …

I clenched my fists and went to the only thing left in this AU, a boy lying unconsciously on the floor. He was wearing an orange shirt and had short curly hair. His clothes were torn and he had several cuts along his limbs. I also noticed bandages along both of his arms, which also were torn.

I started to skim his code, hoping to gather more information.

Name: Ike,

HP: 4/99,

LV: 20 … 20?!

That boy was a genocider! Then it's probably no surprise that this AU looks like that. He probably destroyed it. I just wonder how he did it and if he is a threat ... Should I get rid of him? I know I didn't want to interact but …

Then I noticed that his HP dropped to 3. They were still sinking. Why, thou? Honestly, it shouldn't matter to me. I can just leave, he will die, as it's supposed to happen, and I don't need to worry about a possible threat. I turned around, ready to teleport back… but I hesitated.

I swore to myself that I did NOT want to interact with ANY AU out there. Then why did I hesitate? Was it because of the way this world reminded me of mine? I looked at him. I should just leave and pretend as if nothing happened.

His HP dropped by another point. God, why was this so hard to decide?! I clenched my fists, turning away from him. After a couple of seconds, still not being able to leave, I went back, opened up my terminal and set his HP back on 99.

After some seconds, he woke up. As he realized me standing next to him, he crawled backwards. I took a step back, preparing for him to immediately attack me, but he didn't do anything. He panicly looked left and right, "W-Where am I?! Who…?" He didn't finish that sentence and kept staring at me in fear.

I was confused. I expected him to attack me. He is a genocider. That's what these kinds of people do, kill everything they see until there is nothing left. But he acted more ... like a confused child. Could it be one of those cases where another soul controls him? But in that case, I should be able to see their code …

I relaxed a little since he didn't seem to be a direct threat … at least by now. I lifted up my hands, "I'm not going to harm you, okay?" He kept staring at me for another second until he seemed at least a little calmer. He grabbed his head, "Ouch, what happened? Why does my head hurt so bad?"

As he pulled his hand back, he panicked again. It was covered in red. He started to breathe quickly. I hunched down and held him by his shoulders, "Hey, you need to calm down. It won't help that you're panicking right now! You're going to be alright, okay?" He looked at me in surprise and nodded, finally calming down again. Then I noticed that his HP dropped again to 98. Why was it still decreasing?

I let go of him, still hunched down and started to explain, "I'm afraid I don't know what happened here. I found you here as I was … just passing through." The boy looked at the several cuts along his arms, "I … I know what happened … I guess. It's just quite blurry, but I think it comes back …"

Then he seemed to be thinking loudly, "I was at Waterfall watching Undyne and Papyrus train together. Then … Then some monsters came panicly to us, telling us that there were some murderers running around. Undyne advised Papyrus to tell everyone else and temporarily evacuate the Underground … Then I was in Snowdin. Why was I in Snowdin? …" He suddenly jumped up, "The Ruins! I need to go back and warn them!"

Then he fell, but I caught him, "Calm down! You need to be careful. You might feel well right now, but it's not the case. I refilled your HP but that doesn't heal your physical injuries. And if you couldn't see it by now, you're injured pretty badly." His HP dropped again. That was so peculiar. I couldn't come up with a reason for that happening. There was no such thing as a weapon stuck inside of him, so what else could be the reason?

Instead of listening to what I said, he pushed me away, "I need to warn them! Nobody else knows that they're still there!" I let him go. I was annoyed. He clearly didn't want my help. I responded angrily, "Then go ahead! Where do you even want to go now?! Everything is gone!" I stopped. My words were the exact thoughts I had, as I lost my world. I have been confused, I have been sad and I didn't know what to do back then. That boy was currently living through the same thing … Just that he wasn't alone.

He stared at me with teary eyes, "What? … What do you mean by that?" I didn't want to say it out directly, "Based on your reaction, I guess that you already know what I want to tell you … I'm sorry." Then he stared at the floor, "N-No. That … That can't be true …" As he started crying, I walked over and took him in my arms. I knew this awful feeling quite too well, "It's okay ..."

After he calmed down again, I smiled at him, "… We'll figure something out, okay? First, we need to find out what exactly happened here. Do you want to help me with that? Because I won't be able to figure that out on my own." He wiped his last tears away, "O-Okay."

I realised that I completely forgot that he was a genocider. That boy acted too peculiar for his role. I was also confused by the story he told me. It seemed that he was getting along quite well with the others from the Underground. That didn't match his stats at all… Whatever happened, I needed to stay careful and keep that in mind. I still had no clue if he was planning something … For now, the best I could do was gather more information to be able to estimate his motives …

I looked at him again, "By the way, you can call me Zero." He responded, "My name is Ike…" I explained, "... Just so you don't get scared, Ike, I' will now teleport us to my place, okay?" As I opened up my terminal, his eyes lightened up, "Woah, that's cool! How did you do that?" His excitement made me smile, "I'll show you later." Then I teleported us to my place.

<…>

Aaaaand that's how my two little beans met for the first time 😃

I really hope that I'll finish another project that I am currently working on, so I can continue with new character sheets...

More redraws of MHA screencaps pt.2

I'm doing an art challange this month with the theme:

Future Fantasy

Figured I could draw one of my OCs again, was looking through old stuff for a specific reference but couldn't find it ... instead found something else and I have another idea. I'm simply going to recycle one of my Undertale OCs who never made it.

And I kinda came up with this:

Here the pic I found of that unused OC:

God, my artstyle back then was something else 😂

Do you know the phenomenon where you make the same expression when you draw? I just drew a yawning expression and can't stop yawning ...

Edit: I have been yawning for five minutes straight. It gets exhausting XD
