Synthetic Biology

Recently watched helluva boss, and decided do do a low-effort shitpost marker drawing of Stolas, based on this post I saw:

Might do a more serious high effort piece of him later, but this was fun.

Some stuff I drew for a friend. It’s the characters Ashe and Bob from Overwatch. I haven’t played the game yet, but it was still cool to work on. I really enjoyed drawing the hat on Ashe and all the mechanical stuff for Bob. The colouring got sort of rushed at the end for Bob (see his right arm especially) and I sort of messed up the right shoulder, but I like these.

My first watercolour piece. It’s an attempt at the character Vernon from the D&D actual play series What’s Left of Us (if actual plays are your thing, I highly recommend it. I watch it on YouTube at Jaycorn’s channel, but I believe there’s also a twitch).

The right edge was a bit wonky on the previous version, so I decided to post a slightly updated version. I made the skull linger a bit more as well. I think it’s definitely an improvement on the previous version.

Irrelevant personal tangent under the cut

I’ve honestly been really happy so far with my forays into digital art and animation. I haven’t had much time to practise properly, so I’m not improving as fast as I would have liked, but nonetheless, it’s been fun.

I’m sort of in a bottle phase right now, so my next piece is probably going to be a ship in a bottle.

The previous drawing, but adjusted to be more accurate to reference.

I’ve been really in my head recently, and haven’t been drawing as much since I haven’t been getting good results with my art in the past week. To get out of it, I decided to try and draw in ink and cross hatch(I looked up tutorials). I think even though these aren’t good, it was helpful to try something different from what I generally do, and something which I know for sure I’ll be bad at. It takes some pressure off.

I doodled this on the back of my laptop(pencil rubs off easily, so I haven’t ruined it or anything), since I didn’t have paper with me at the time. It was done in a few minutes, but I actually like the hat and I wanted to post something.

I wanted to try out different angles for the face, so this is the one I did today. My 3rd drawing using the markers, plus some coloured pencil this time.

A piece I finally got to work on again. I think it’s my best so far. It started with the apple, then I felt like drawing a full scene, so I did it. Many things in the image are references to a band I like called Mili. Other things are just stuff I thought would look nice. Anyways, it was fun to work on, and I hope to do more and better things like this in the future.
