Paintings for shirts for my best friend’s mom, dad, and grandpa.

Simple, but I sorta like them, and I learned a lot about painting while doing them.

My mother had the idea of painting Christmas scenes, scanning the image, and transferring them onto shirts for Christmas this year. This will be my shirt. I’m starting to learn to leave my paintings alone when I get them to a passable state, as continuing often leads to me liking it less.

I was hoping to do more art over break, but have just now recovered enough to sit at my desk for long enough. Not COVID as I initially feared, but some other respiratory thing got me. Not that the people from urgent care told me what it was, just sent me straight off to the pharmacy. I can mostly breathe now though, si that’s much improvement.

Whelp, it’s official. My aunt has COVID. Which means it’s very likely it’s in my household as well as she and my sister see each other every day at school. And so we are self-quarantining. Hopefully that and the end of finals means I’ll have more time for art.

It’s been so long since I’ve done art. This felt so good.

It’s finals week, my family may have been exposed via my aunt who teaches at my sister’s school, and the holidays are coming up. I really needed this break from stress.

Sometimes humans are just the best! A very good (and brave) Samaritan brought this eastern diamondback rattlesnake into the hospital after it was hit by a car. Look at this beautiful angry serpent!

That head wound looked pretty concerning so this baby went for a CT scan to assess the damage to its skull and soft tissue.

It might seem crazy that this wild snake could survive a tire to the head, but rattlesnakes are incredibly tough critters. Their heads are so muscular that when they’re struck by a car they can often survive with minimal damage to the bony structures of the head. In this case, the trauma from the tire forced those impressive facial muscles through the skin without breaking any cranial bones. Fortunately, an incredibly skilled exotics veterinarian was able to surgically repair the damage. Here it is after surgery!

This baby did great after the procedure and recovered beautifully. After several weeks in a wildlife rehabilitation facility, this rattlesnake was well enough to be released into the wild. You gotta love a happy ending! I know venomous snakes can get a bad rap, but just because they’re a little scary doesn’t mean they don’t deserve our love and respect.

Short sleeved shirt and either sweatpants or pajama pants and a bird on my shoulder/arm/hand in the mornings. Shorts and a tank top in the afternoons.

Queso and Mango have very different opinions on pumpkin insides, as you can see.

I only got a little half way through corruptober. And although it’s not October anymore, I’m not giving up. Life came at me with family issues, school becoming even more overbearing, and bureaucracy issues within my school. Piling on Halloween, decorating, planning, and preparing for my birthday, I left a lot undone. But hey! I’m 21 now, I got an art tablet I hope to have time to try out soon, and my family all met my boyfriend! I’m hoping that things will smooth out and continue to look up. Here’s to hoping!

I’m so so so far behind... gah! School is taking over my life and when I’m not working I just want to be curled up doing nothing.

Corruptober 2020, Day 18: Copy Cat

@zrex-utau

The best copy cats are the ones that attack you, right?

Corruptober Day 17: Potion

“What is it?” Her voice wavered with uncertainty. She should not be here.

“Well.. you asked for some way to get him to stop touching you. The only thing he can do from the grave is haunt you.”

“This will kill him?!” She gasped and nearly dropped the bottle.

“Yes. And he will never touch you or your daughter again.”

reblog and put in the tags what your total number of notes across all original posts are from this site. it also gives you your top 9 posts.

Corruptober 2020 Day 16: Snake

@zrex-utau

Have you ever had a snake slither its way up your throat and out your mouth? And after, you are left wondering just how did it get in there?

Not very corrupt, but I really had no idea how to draw another chance. And anyone who plays DnD knows the dread that comes with a Nat1. I’m also nearly a week behind and am looking for faster, less intensive drawings until I catch up.

Had a short painting session with my sister yesterday while watching her. Finished a piece I had started months ago.

Corruptober 2020 Day 13: Rain

Corruptober 2020 Day 14: Candle

@zrex-utau

I’m so so so far behind this week. Multiple school projects, caring for my grandfather, and visiting my boyfriend took over my life, particularly the schoolwork.

I actually did these while with my boyfriend. He knows art helps me and how being behind upsets me, and so he made time for me to work on catching up. I sketched them out as he napped next to me, very cutely I might add, and I inked them as he spoke on the phone with his friend.

Don’t you just hate it when you find a detatched arm in the rain? And teeth start falling from your candle?

Corruptober Day 11: Statue

@zrex-utau

So much for trying to keep on time this year. Yesterday was a whirlwind of cleaning and preparing for guests and my little downtime was spent doing other things.

It felt slightly like cheating using Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, but I just love their concept and execution so well that I couldn’t find anything else I wanted to do.

Corruptober Day 8: Smile

@zrex-utau

He was happy. There were few things that could make him smile. But the sight, the smell, the taste of fresh blood? That always did it. And so he was happy.

Corruptober Day 7: Gift

@zrex-utau

Running from hunters, the child stumbles across a party. She hides behind stacks of gifts and tries to shut out the sounds of bullets ripping through the humans. She silences her cries and hides her face from the destruction. Holding her breath, she waits for the hunters to move on.

Corruptober Day 5: Notes

@zrex-utau

After years of putting up with her lover’s abuse, one woman snaps. And so does his neck. She frantically burns all evidence of foul play through the years and wears the mask of the loving partner, as she had done for years.

I think after looking at multiple prompt lists, I’ve finally decided on one. I’ll try my best at being consistent, but I’m sinking in school assignments at the moment so we’ll see.

Alright everybody, here's my Inktober list for this year! Last year was Shiptober, this year is Corruptober! (Thank you my Insta followers for the prompt ideas and my friends for helping me make the list!)

Bascially, the promps are meant to be either innocent or neutral and it's your job as the artist to twist them into something horrid. Dark, gorey, however messed up you want it to be. Have fun with it and use as much artist interpretation as you'd like!

This list is open to any fandom or ocs. So, anyone is welcome to join!

All I ask is that if you use the prompt list, please tag me so that I can see the post!! ^^
