This blog has some bad experiences paired with it, but I don't want to leave BSky entirely, so I'm migrating to an alt that I'm treating like an entirely new blog where I'm not even going to reference this one. I'm gonna tell me close friend group the new one, but no one else to avoid certain others

Didn't want to retype this all into a thread. Sorry there's not Alt text. The secondary account it mentions is Tumblr, not here.

If you got here from the Reddit post, just go ahead and fuck right off. This is exactly why I hate that goddamn website and didn't want to go there for fucking advice in the first place

Drew something in pencil for the first time in a while, to test out a pencil stability grip thing I got on Amazon. It works pretty well and my colored pencils fit in it! Only way I know to test pencil stability is drawing or hiragana, so the writing on the bottom says "すごい!" (Sugoi/Awesome)

Today would have been my Granny Mary's 94th birthday <3 I drew this a couple years ago for my mom, it's based on an old picture of her

I don't often feel cute but I felt pretty cute today

Trying to be productive. Feeling like absolute shit. Probably no one cares either way.

I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong. I ask for feedback, I try not to go silent for too long, I post about my progress, I ask questions about what I struggle with, and I can't even get any advice or constructive suggestions. I try to be nice, but I feel like I'm being ignored

Would genuinely love some feedback on this idea, if any more successful artists wanna throw some feedback my way? Please? Or like, if there's other sites that would be better than Patreon to try this on??

I have an art question, for anyone who can give me some feedback. If I wanted to start a Patreon, and I had commissions open but it was like, I had pre-drawn poses and the tiers were drawings in the different poses, with more complexity being the higher tiers, is that interesting to do?

I finished my Valentine's Day animation in time! It's shorter than originally planned, but I'm still proud of how it turned out :) (the typo in the background is intentional, btw)

Guess who underestimated how long this would take... I have like 5 days left to draw this and I need to Lock In if I want it done in time

Having a lot of trouble with this animation. I keep deleting layers because they look bad and then feeling like the redrawn layer is even worse, and I can't get it to look right.

Some animation progress? It's slow-going because I kept having issues with the proportions looking weird until I tried stylizing it some more instead of sticking to the rotoscoped outline, but god it takes so long to do frame by frame animation

I should be working on that animation or finishing my existing WIPs, instead I started another WIP bc I finished Subnautica Below Zero and I am in love with my new alien cyborg centaur boyfriend

One last attempt to post this WIP, after a full day of frustration and copying every frame to a new document, then having to resize all of those frames bc Photoshop thinks they should all be 5 seconds long by default If this one has sound I am just gonna burn my PC I think

Jesus... idk what is different about this render that makes it not save like the last WIP video I uploaded. I have now copied just my motion outlines to a new file, but Photoshop has decided the best thing to do with that folder is to make every frame I drew a full 5 seconds for no reason

Fuck it. I was gonna upload another WIP but 3 hours of trying to post it and having the video suddenly blast with sound that is muted on the Photoshop file and every way I can preview it has given me a stress migraine.

Okay what the hell is happening. The audio is removed from my original recording. It is silent when I preview it in VLC. And then when I upload it, the sound is back???? I filmed my screen to get the movement recorded so the sound is just me breathing and my heart valve, but it's weird

I'm conflicted between "I bought a ticket to see Iron Lung a month ago" and "there's a shutdown protest in Minneapolis today" I wanna see it so bad but also I wanna support the local protests bc ICE is awful and needs to get out

Day 1 of working on an animation for Valentine's Day next month! I have a tradition with my friends of drawing a sexy Saint Dane for Valentine's (it started as a joke I swear) but since I've been drawing that anyways I wanted to do an animation instead. I decided to rotoscope.

I literally just figured out how to do tweening animations, and my next big animation idea I thought "ok but what if I rotoscope this clip instead" because I guess I like pain

Updated my art portfolio! The one downside is I don't have my own website so I gotta just put it all here I guess

One more design mostly done! I may rework some of the details, but I wanted to try to finish at least one more creature so I did a quick version of the evolution of another Horror type; this one is Death Maggot, Pallid Wasp, and Conqueror Worm. May redraw these later, I'm rushing a bit

I had to redraw this one bc I wasn't too happy with how he turned out yesterday, but this sketch turned out a lot better! This is Night, he's the secondary protagonist of the game I'm planning out

Drew the two variations of the protagonist of the game with the creatures I posted the other day. Since these games normally have a gender option I wanted to make two styles, but to be clear here Cass is trans either way, it just changes if the character is trans femme or trans masc

Working on a game idea I had with creatures based off of literary genres. This one's a Horror type with stuff inspired by urban legends; the blade in her tail is two moving parts like scissors

My hand hurts and I still need to shade Her...

Redid the design of Mystere I've been working on to fix some stuff I wasn't thrilled about with Her appearance; my mom suggested some stuff that worked well with the pachyderm details, and has generally just been great design feedback for Her

Lemme make this clear: If you think Frey saying "fuck" is a bigger issue than ICE straight up murdering someone who tried to leave while she said "I'm not mad at you", your priorities are off.
