While Fretting Over What The Bloody Hell I’m Doing For A Freelance Client I Have On Hand (because It’s

Dollar store goth makeup is simultaneously the best and worst. Fight me.

These are some pencils I designed within the past few months, with a pencil case included.

I decided that the idea was that they would use flocking (so that certain parts of the pencils would be fuzzy). The overall theme, of course, is creepy stuff.

This is basically where I’ve ended my first Saturday Twitch stream at, minus a few minor tweaks.

I’m pretty happy with those hands, personally. :’D I’ve liked drawing hands for years, though, so getting to focus on them once again is really, really fun.

I’m thinking of holding another stream tomorrow because I also want to see THIS cover thing done, as well as the logo for this entire comic/comic series I’m slowly working on in my spare time.

So, I have a Tumblr on the side called @dandyreblogs now. I'll probably modify it to look like my current icon, but slightly different. I'm planning on using it as an aesthetic Tumblr exclusively.

I’ve been on a roll for the past day or so.

Anyway, have some gothic angel amputation as done by a demon.

Upon realizing that I’m less than a year (hopefully...) from graduating with two degrees, as well as noting that there’s only a six month grace period between graduation and loan repayment—and therefore, only six months to find a full-time job, hopefully in one’s field...

...I recalled how my high school graduation went, and how I didn’t cry the expected tears of joy, but tears of agony, because life wasn’t going to get any better (and unfortunately, it kind of went as expected.)

I honestly don’t fathom that undergraduate graduation is going to be much better, so I ended up making an illustration about the stress before, and the future stress that looms overhead...and how no ceremony can make either of those things go away.

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.”

This should be the absolute last thing I should probably have finished for today...because ain’t poster design fun?

(Also, I used a mock-up from over here, for full disclosure.)

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’ve been to a lot of places. :’D

…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.
