Art Stuff - Blog Posts
i made another blog on accident but i decided that i should roll with it (instead of y’know, ignoring it)
so.. is there a topic that one specific blog would be good to cover?
might make it just art stuff..
The Sensory Game Cover thing
This was mostly just to experiment with posing, but this was somehow the result, and I love it :3
I finally managed to get their designs down. These designs are more of their real designs with their main vision pieces cause i wanna keep their true vision forms for the actual project. Oh, and their names are Fang and Argus. It's pretty obvious who is who
The background was originally blue and green, but the pink just fit better
y'all ever post some random doodle that you did in like 20 minutes and it blows up for no reason and everyone is like "OMG THAT'S INCREDIBLE, AMAZING ART ❤️❤️❤️" and it's nice and all but when you post something you spent LITERAL MONTHS on you get a reaction like "nice 👍" and four likes???
Here are some drawings from a giant sketchbook
This Sketchbook was originally for my 12th grade art class but I didn't end up using it much
One assignment was to draw things that contrasted, so I turned to my characters
I will always adore that smiling face of Psychoe's
This was the page where I created the main character in the first arc of my comic series (i promise i will work on it, the release of Hazbin Hotel's pilot episode has given me the inspiration to do so) Desmond Eldrich!
As you can clearly see, I have difficulties completely killing characters, especially with the way the worlds systems work. So I tried to make a character for the sole purpose to have them die.... and I ended up with sweet lil Desmond here... and I just couldn't do it.
Stuff from when I was fleshing out his character a bit
One thing I've noticed when I draw characters is that their hair is almost always a floof with curls. Especially the boys. I can't seem to keep it from doing that so I try other things to make each character's design as unique as their personalities
Examples of this:
Kira has a very specific floof to his hair and is almost always wearing his grey hoodie
Grim's hair floof is in the same shape as Kira's but much more curled and he usually wears a tattered coat (think Garry from Ib)
Satan's hair always does this weird "swoop" to one side
Nova always has his stitch marks across his face and wearing a white suit
Miyoto has a very curly hair floof that covers their right eye (unless in a non-human form)
Karmen's hair is very long and her bangs cover her eyes
Lucifer has less of a floof that covers his right eye and he is almost always wearing something that covers his neck injury, and said thing usually ends up covering his mouth too
I could honestly go on but I'll stop here

Before you go “mY aRt sTyLe iS dIfFrEnT tHoUgH” you can moderate it and play around with your style to get it to fit.
1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai.
2. Previous post on breakdowns right here
Some thoughts on acceleration and force
I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns.
Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful.
Not so much of a tutorial than a personal experience. I hope you find this interesting hahaha
as requested- my zine about fat and plus size body types from instagram!💖 happy drawing everyone!
FF7 suit series (Part4)
The last pool for the series ended with Vincent’s victory! I’m actually happy that Vince won, cuz I was dying to put him on a gothic suit (to make him look even more like a vampire 😂)
Row your way thru the sludge

I think at some point in time we need to sit down and start explaining to artist who want to make a career out of art that there are FAR more options than just "living off of commissions" and "posting my art online and praying I get paid for it".
Look, I can’t be the only one who read the abbreviation and had a tongue twister.
Straight up I had to think for a second and then I realized it was the entire title of the pilot. Which also by the way, if you haven’t watched it you absolutely have to.
The black-and-white animation, even though it’s like the drawing before they have even done. Any animation is stinking adorable. It’s so cute.
didn’t know it was based in high school I really thought this was like junior high the entire time I watched it. It was only like the second time when I watched it with my friend that I realized it’s supposed to be based in high school.
Just random though.
in celebration of the idwtbamg pilot... doodles 👍🏽👍🏽
I have a weird feeling that I'm going to wake up and see something about Totoko in strawberry dress. Or someone in something strawberry related
Space peaches on the mind for design. And or hunger. Or both.
I feel like a flood of fruit and space ideas are about to appear and I don't know why

I never realized just how little outfits there are based on Saturn, the planet not the guardian from Sailor Moon, till I started drawing this set, which will be two sets. I'm going to rise that number by twelve >:). Then, 24 >:D!
Sometimes Saturn's ain't enough, I need the whole color palette rainbow.
The colors they call me
I must add them all
My gosh, I just realized that it's been a while since I've drawn Ichimatsu in a sundress and even longer since I've drawn everyone in a sundress and sun hat. I drawn them in so many dresses and other outfits I never actually realized that
Step 1. Realize Trans day of remembrance was yesterday
Step 2. Notice I haven’t posted anything nsfw on my furaffinity that isn't commission related in awhile...
*Cracks knuckles* Time to give the gays & furries what they deserve
I will practice art more just to do the world this service
The day the world join hands to provide more pirate Marcy art, we will heal
(Do not steal or repost my work)
Lilith redesign because she deserves it <3
She is the nanny of Madison, and basically an aunt to her, since she and Madison's mother were best friends long before the mother died.
She is human, but a huge ally to shifters and hybrids. She will do anything to help the Guardian, as long as there is common sense in her commands, of course.
Here are 2 old comic panels including her that won't be used any longer :p
Eh my style was okay back then, but I can do better lol
hot artists don't gatekeep
