Artober 2020 - Blog Posts

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!

Corruptober 2020 Day 19: Colors

@zrex-utau

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.”

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.

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 9: Apple

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.
