This is not social commentary, it's just a funny statement.
Engraved aluminum pen case lid I did in gr10 manufacturing. Didn't actually CNC machine it myself because class was online cos covid, but I toolpathed everything. The beginning of my CNC escapades.
I knew I wanted to do a dragon because that's a classic for me, but then I needed more stuff to fill the space. Me and my family were just messing around one night trying to think of something to put on it. We eventually settled on 'Vaccines are now being administered by babies' because we thought that was funny.
My shop teacher engraved all of these projects on the google meet, but for mine he did it after class because he didn't want to possibly offend someone lmao π.

Programs used:
IbispaintX - Drawing
Krita - Minor drawing edits and timing
Openshot Video Editor - Exporting/cropping
Finished animation meme based on these thumbnail sketches.
Decided to do it in ibispaint to test out their animation thing (I usually use krita to do everything related to animation). it's good until timing comes into play. Def gonna use it if I ever make random gifs
This still took a long time to make (I'm slow, okay), but the repetitiveness helped a lot in cutting down the work.
Tried to export using krita but the sequence after all the glitch effects would export improperly, so I had to insert it all into openshot video editor and then the exporting worked better (it was a struggle). There's some timing issues I feel but not so bad that I can't live with it.
**I'm in the process of redoing it so that it's a perfect loop and the timing's a bit better, just posting it now because it's holding up the rest of the line

I remember having a really hard time with just about every aspect of this piece. Getting the proportions of the buildings down was terrible, as was designing them. And then painting it was just a trainwreck.
Inspired by Devil town by Cavetown iirc

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.

It's ironic how long this took, considering this is sppsed to be a 'just throw it down using whatever scratchy lines you can' character.
The character sheets for most of the others are in-progress, but this was the last one I finished for a while

The last of the drawings I made to embed in a fic I'm never gonna finish πβοΈ
Also I really don't like this drawing in hindsight. I'm fine with it in the show, but everytime I try to emulate the ultra skinny proportions of hazbin I really don't end up liking it.
I originally had these drawings posted on a secret sideblog so it wouldn't be associated with me, but fuck it we ball.

Redraw of the zagreus sticker I made previously.
I really liked making this one, and I like the way it turned out (actually looks like zag π±π±π±π£οΈ). The Hades style is so fun and cool (it in of itself is inspired by mike mignola, among other influences, so ofc I love it).
Used ibispaint's hard japanese brush, which was really nice to use. I like the different line width variation you can get with it.

Final project for gr11 art that I did finish, but never submitted because they did a goofy thing where our summatives couldn't lower our marks.
Uhhh, ig I don't have any pictures of the finished project? It was a whole illusion thing of a hallway. I wasn't too happy with it when I first did it, but it's a solid idea. Prolly gonna revisit the illusion in the future, not sure if I'd take a stab at making this exact scene again.

The queers are taking over
Data final project where we had to make a carnival game and calculate the probability of winning/losing/all of the possible outcomes.
The piece on the bottom was a holder for a plinko board my friend made for this project. Didn't get any pictures of it π’

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
