I Found Myself Revisiting An Old Drawing That Touches Upon A Lot Of The Same Fears And Feelings I Have

I felt like my headphone cords draped around my head would make a neat aesthetic. I was right. Also, I like my face.

I’m gonna go ahead and do a Twitch stream*, so feel free to say “hi!”

I’m thinking of drawing Gen 1 Pokemon Starters: because I can.

*even though I might want to switch over to Picarto at some point due to political/economic reasons.

I’ve been going about some really rough color testing while I’ve been doing anatomical tweaks and ink refining on the main character of a webcomic I’m working on in my spare time.

It’s really frustrating, because I’m kind of old school with my mentality of “do not mix brown and black together, unless you are an unfashionable pleb”, but it seems like this calls for it. I’m sitting here thinking to myself “Hmn...can leather be dark red? How would I go about breaking that fashion rule? I don’t know how to approach this.” I’ve also noticed that character design for fantasy characters doesn’t typically have that many restraints, so part of me is wondering if I should just resign to mixing black and brown, and being like “Screw it, those are reddish-brown leather boots and gauntlets.”

I appreciate this advice...also, I think this puts yet another bullet point under "Let's establish some boundaries at work and shut off availability on at least Tuesday".

Maybe more streaming would be in order as well.

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.

I decided to draw some very tiny, low res Stardust Crusaders for the 50 followers Twitch stream today! Also, it turned out to be a good endurance test—I haven’t sustained 7 hours of solid drawing in a while.

(Fun Note; Avdol actually turned out to be my favorite one to draw. I also wonder if Araki wanted to kill him off because he’s so detailed...but that’s actually what I enjoyed about Avdol’s design when I actually got into drawing him.)

>tfw you’re writing a rough draft for something and it actually alludes to the fact that coffee beans might be extinct or absurdly rare by 2080—ergo, coffee would be an extremely expensive black market luxury at the rate we’re going at.

I’ve officially completed my own logo. Again. For the umpteenth time now. It’s going to have other applications other than this, but I figured that showcasing it on black lace would be nice.

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 didn’t upload this from the class I took, but here—have an irritated chemist dude.

My style of procrastinating—work on other things that aren’t immediately productive, but are productive for things later on down the road that I enjoy.

That said, I’m still a sad sap who’s trying to make black and brown work. (But oh boy, can I tell you how much I like dark reds combined with black?)
