Hey, It’s A Self Portrait Based Off Of Fancy Clothes And Other Things!

So, the kitsune death god I’ve been meaning to draw has been mostly speedpainted in the past 3 hours. I need to work on some contrast stuff, rendering that scythe, and deciding on the left hand, but...eh. Still pretty cool

Also, I have a 5-minute Milhouse doodle for no reason other than being asked.

It’s not even a good Milhouse doodle, pssh.

...I just got a glitchy version of the taxes design a few minutes after I posted it. I have no idea how that happened, but here.

Trying to explain a particular nitpick I have with some typographic designs lead me to make this to illustrate what I’m talking about instead of trying to explain it in words.

Specifically, I really dislike it when people break up words like “Macchiato” into illegible crap that makes you pause for a bit, and then you’re stuck there for twice as long, trying to read what the fuck the word is. (Also, legit, I actually don’t like the Supercell logo that much, and it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.)

I may try to experiment with a similar square grid later on, but something more legible--because I do like how effective the economy of space is in things like this, I just hate it when it’s illegible as fuck, and I wouldn’t have made this if it weren’t for illustrative purposes.

I am pretty happy with the color scheme, though.

I wish I didn’t have to wear glasses because I think I look significantly better without them, but I’m still quite fond of how I wear a suit.

I’m currently on a Gotham kick--the typeface/font, not the Batman universe city.

Anyway, I doodled this in International Macroeconomics after a bit of thinking on my last self-imposed design challenge, because I wanted to make something that would WORK with the grid layout trend I’ve been seeing...

...this more or less came out as expected. I’m pretty content with it. I’d wager I could use this as a base for some sort of project later on if I got the right photographs and fiddled around with the black space. Or the white space. Doesn’t really matter, I guess!

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

I’ve been to a lot of places. :’D

Dammit, I'm on this blue hell site again

I forgot to upload this here, although I did it a while ago with a friend who I did a lot of design challenges with to keep both of our skills as sharp as possible. We tend to alternate who comes up with the theme, and it was his turn when we got to this one.

We basically tried to design something based around the Bruce Lee quote “Be Water, My Friend”— which is a really eloquent quote. We also had a time limit of about 45 minutes.

Anyway, I’ve made these into stickers a few times. They were actually really popular at the last exhibition I had my work in. Also, this is transparent for all of your transparent needs.

Lastly, I should also note that the overlaid image -is- public domain, but it’s the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, if you don’t know it.

During the time that I’ve been overwhelmed with coursework and work to pay the bills, I forgot that I made this birb. It has been rescued from the annals of my hard drives after I decided to organize my files.

I’m almost done with some actual stuff I’ve decided to do over the holidays. I promise I won’t spam anyone with more terribly made typographic birbs. (I don’t even have any more terribly made typographic birbs.)
