So, this is the result of my Twitch Stream! I’m pretty stoked that I’m back in the swing of things after Hurricane Irma, and I’m pretty happy that I made A LOT of progress on the page in the past 4.5 hours (although I felt like I wasted a bit of my time with Lazy Nezumi. I want to see if I was doing something wrong, because I only found it useful for two things.)
I also appreciate that the quote “Vaporwave Trash Child’s Baby” is now immortalized in a Facebook status of @arzeron‘s, and I got some good pointers for drawing babus from @galacticglaciers.
I know I worked on these a long time ago, but the righthand warlock actually is my gaming icon. (I go by WistfulWarlock in some gaming contexts.)
Anyway, I still like these, even now, and I figured that I should upload them. Seems appropriate during Halloween season.
BTW, they’re transparent. :D
I've noticed that I'm quite abysmal at keeping up drawing whenever I have a new partner in my life.
I love art and design, but I'm absolutely infatuated with my bae, and it's conflicting. because I don't know how to balance both loves at the same time, as well as my day job.
I don't know what to do with myself at the time, and advice would be lovely.
This is only a 4-6 hour rough draft, and I wanna give this guy a lot more polish later... but I decided to start grinding through drawing this character design for a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure fan character that I’ve been playing as in a Jojo tabletop RPG @plaguenurse set up. (Also, @arzeron also has a character.)
I figured that I should get to it because 1) I’m kinda sad about Chester Bennington’s passing, especially when I went out of my way to name this guy’s stand “New Divide”, and 2) on the roll20 site, I’m kinda disappointed with my laziness when I look at a pair of scissors and a picture of Richard Hendricks from Silicon Valley for the stand and the user, respectively. (Btw, I named the user Jonah Joplin, for additional Scott Joplin/Janis Joplin references. Also, he is an ambiguous Jojo. Maybe he’s a Joestar, maybe he’s not. We just don’t know.)
Oh snap. I just realized that the icon client has Pepsi colors because I'm trying to avoid IKEA colors.
Crap.
I’m at the point where I never want to work with this color combo ever again.
Dammit, I'm on this blue hell site again
I’m almost done with the coloring for the main character of the webcomic I wanna work on (specifically, how he appears on the intro “cover” page)—but then I realized that I was using the exact same colors as the Jazz Dixie Cup for some components of rendering, and then I kinda devolved this into something that would fit in a bad vaporwave YouTube video.

For real though, this made me happy. I enjoy making jokey stuff with my own work sometimes. It relieves stress.
I decided to finish (mostly) an old Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer doodle I had in the depths of my computer a long time ago—but with it being explicit that Rudolph just has issues with allergies and sinusitis. His nose glows because he’s miserable. (I mean, why else would his nose glow red?)
Any way, happy holidays. :D
I asked my partner about how he’d feel about drawings, and he basically mentioned that he would feel so bad if it took me longer than 30 minutes to do something like a stick figure...
...I told him that I could do a lot more than a stick figure with 30 minutes, give or take, and I decided to challenge myself to draw something in a 30-minute time frame right in front of him.
I ended up drawing a character of mine that I haven’t touched in a few years, because why the hell not...and he was quite baffled by my ability to sit down and churn this out, and was expecting something more like my weird 5-minute Milhouse doodle I did a while back.
Granted, this isn’t polished, but...yeah. It’s a pretty rewarding speedpaint.
I’m semi-proud of the fact that I did some 3D modeling recently.
I’m still not the best texturer in the world (even though 2D digital painting is something I’m super familiar with), but it’s something!
I’m just happy that I won’t have to do many streetlamps ever again...because I can just use my own model as a reference!
So, I made a bit of progress on the first comic page, and I made a little bit of progress on the logo stuff for the comic.
Also, @plaguenurse had a comment on Twitch that basically made me laugh maniacally for a good minute or so while working on the architecture on the top panel.
Greetings and salutations! I'm a graphic designer/illustrator, and this is my Tumblr. Feel free to check my about page for more info about me. Also, I only post my own things here—almost all reblogs will go to @dandyreblogs. Check that out if you're into aesthetics and other curious things.
