Masquerade
Masquerade
December 30, 2023 - January 4, 2024
Sketched/inked throughout winter break, painted during jan 4 paint night.
I had first thought up a piece like this years ago, and it was meant to be an illustration of what I imagine when I listen to Wriggle by Cosmo Sheldrake. I found it over the winter break and got inspired to make this. Didn't take a picture of the old concept, but the bird and the masquerade mask were both parts of it. And me using the red/yellow colour palette was me staying true to the og concept.
Took a scan of the lineart before colouring in the mask. Had to do it twice because the painting was too big for the scanner 🥲. Still need to splice together the two imgs to get the full piece as one scan.
The gold bits were painted on sometime sem2 year1 of uni (and after the end date listed above) but it was so little that I'm fine w the fake finish date.
I was planning on colouring the entire piece, but the mask in it of itself was annoying enough, and I thought it looked good w just that part coloured. I've asked around if people think it looks finished with how it is now, and most people say no ðŸ˜. I've gotten different suggestions for what to do to make it look more complete, but I don't really fw any of them (but I also think it looks does as is, so I'm not inclined to modify it at all in the first place).
The suggestions:
Colour the candelabra in blues to compliment the mask
Add shading to the rest of the obj
Microns, watercolour, acrylic paint and india ink on watercolour paper

Didn't want to do another night sky one since it'd be too close to the first day's drawing, so I did a character instead. Took inspiration of the characters some people made for the galaxy prompt
Made a tiny thumbnail for this one, too

This was for some sort of challenge thing, but I can't remember what.
Uhhh, yeah, don't really know what's going on in this drawing ðŸ˜

Some misc indie game fanarts.
I didn't mean to burn away as much of the Rachel Amber art, but the gas cooktop thought different.
At the time I'd played none of these games, but I thoroughly enjoyed playthroughs of them

Grade 12 art project where I really just wanted to make a bacteriophage CAD model because I'm obsessed.
I fully printed and assembled this doll, but it broke. I need to figure out a way to 3D print the part body without the supports being mega annoying (or alter the CAD model/split it into multiple pieces). I'll do that someday and then 3D print this guy again.

October 20, 2024 India Ink on Paper
The last inktober drawing i ended up doing for this season 🥶
For the entirety of this one the pen was officially out of ink. I made do with just using it as a brush pen w my india ink.
Although, that's definitely the main reason the challenge died for me. Not having the convenience of just whipping out the pen whenever I felt like it got rid of pretty much all instances where I would typically work on these drawings, especially when art was slowly becoming something I wasn't able to prioritize nearly as much cos school 🥲
Not to mention it was really annoying,, it's just not the same as the ink flowing from within the pen 😩
