I had a bit of a strugglel with this one, namely because this guy's a bit hard to pose considering their limb situation.
Tried to push the expressions, but they're all pretty much the same. It fits the character's theme so I'm not mad about it

~June - July 2023 - Preliminary Sketch in Krita
October 10, 2024 - Transfer to IbisPaint
October 29-30, 2024 - Majority of the illustrating process
Time: 19:58 Krita + IbisPaintX
This has been in the works for a looong time. Making posters out of it for Anifest finally gave me the motivation to work on it. Really surprised I got it done in time, too.
I think it's so magical to be able to go back to a wip like this and actually finish it. Not everything has to stay unfinished and I like collecting my wips in the event like something like this happens. A burst of motivation years later.
Anyways, 3-point perspective (which I have little experience with) of a very complicated building with hard-to-come-by ref pics?!?!! ...Yeah, I like throwing myself into the deep end with new things (see: MIA poster).
The 3-point perspective was so damned hard. Out of the 20 hours I put into this on IbisPaintX (which doesn't include my first struggles with it in Krita), ~6h was for sketching because it was killinggg me. I also went back and forth with IbisPaint and Krita during the sketching phase because it was a REAL struggle.
(Also I downloaded the mp4 video to check the above times (the video was bugged and would freeze at ~1.5h in IbisPaint) and encoding it took over an hour π))
I just kept fucking up the perspective. Idek how because I was using the perspective tools but it kept happening (I think I was accidentally shifting them in IbisPaintX so it was ruining me) (also that's one thing that Krita is actually better at. while their process to set up the rulers is much more complicated, you can use them all simultaneously. having to switch btwn them in ibispaint was making me go crazy) especially for the curved roof bits. Those underwent a loooot of revisions.
Rendering it was really fun, spent practically all my time out of lecs to work on this before the deadline to send the poster designs off to get printed.
Actually really proud of myself for this one. I especially like the gold bits

One day I'll deep dive into this world and redraw everything
Just some miscellaneous sketches of my ocs from this universe.
April 2021
Didn't like and still don't really like either of these two drawings. So much so back then that I archived it from my insta cos I couldn't stand looking at them (and I was embarrassed that i seemingly downgraded in skill)
so uhh I finished this sometime last week but got too lazy to make a post and now I dont remember which day I finished it
i started these at the same time as my mako drawing and oooh boy they'd been wips for wayy too long
ngl I had no idea what to do for the background and everything after the initial cell shading was just me playing around. I like the finished piece for the pink one but I dont rlly like the bg effects on the orange one.
orange one was supposed to have a shotgun of some sorts but uhhh something something the hand position was dif than what I had and I just didnt do it

Fanart of the first verse of trampoline:
I've been havin' dreams Jumpin' on a trampoline Flippin' in the air I never land, just float there As I'm lookin' up Suddenly the sky erupts Flames alight the trees, spread to fallin' leaves Now they're right upon me
Idk what compelled me to draw this, think I just had a clear image due to the lyrics. Pretty on the nose.

Gr11 watercolour painting assignment. Painted a great blue heron I pictured in the pond near my house.
Painted the background first, but had to lift a lot of the colour because it was too vibrant before.
I used masking tape to mask out the spots of the foreground plants, but it bled a lot and I didn't save as much of the white space as I should've.
Second image is watercolour practice I did beforehand. Used some of the tips from a watercolour art book I'd been gifted

I started this wayyy before (around the alastor one), but I had problems with it for a while so I just left it alone until I practically finished it in one day. Ig something just clicked cos I didn't really change much, other than redo what little progress i'd made on the lineart

November 2 - Stamping Posters
November 2/3 - Cards
Linocutter on linoleum, Ink on paper
Stamps I made during a stamp/printmaking event at makerspace.
We needed stamps for the AAM stamp rally, and this event was hosted at the perfect time for me to make mine for the rally.
Everyone got a ~2x2" piece of linoblock to carve, but the cards for the stamp rally had slots that were ~XxX", so I cut the linoblock into pieces.
I carved a little flower to fit my flower/cyclamen motif β€οΈ and then I decided to make a little business card stamp
I printed with their actual fancy printmaking ink at the event to check that the carves were deep enough, but all the stuff afterwards was done with ink pads from michael's (they're honestly a lot easier to use, too)
My dumb ass never took good pictures of the actual stamps I made before moving 170km from them. I'll add pics once I visit home.
December 31, 2024 Acrylic on canvas
Finally finished this painting!! Hey, got it done before 2025 at the very least π
Only took about 30 minutes to finish it up because it was just cleanup and painting the edges.
Moniker for this painting went from "coloured puke" to "seven" because when asking my family what the meaning behind this painting was we realized that there are seven characters here, which could be indicative of the seven deadly sins. Ofc that was unintentional, but was a cool coincidence.
Non-unanimously, the sins were identified as:
Pride - Green / ???
Wrath - Orange
Lust - Red
Gluttony - Yellow
Envy - Green / Pink
Greed - ???
Sloth - Purple
The blue guy didn't really fit any of them π
I asked my family what they thought the meaning of this one because they'd incessantly bugged me about what the meaning behind another painting I was working on was.
Still need to varnish it, but I'll get to that later
