Okay, next technical investment I think I'm gonna work towards is a hot key mapper, cuz having to pull out my keyboard tray every time I need to move my hand to another shortcut just aint it.

Oh sure. Doing an illustration for an IP that already exists is easy and I can envision the end result and work fast. But the second I have to do a complicated made up scene, my brain is on holiday and it takes me nearly two months just to get the values down. FML.

Decided to give myself the day to just explore with my style. Tried not to let the reference influence too much. Still working on my silhouttes I think... But overall, this was a satisfying exercise.

A photo of a Sailor Moon fanart ink drawing. The style features exaggerated shapes and thick outlines. On the left is the essential sailor moon pose facing the camera. (Artist note: I just realized I forgot to draw her other pony tail. I was in a deep flow state, and wanted to jump into another sketch) On the right is the whole Sailor Scout group in a redrawn screen cap in my experimental style.

I think it's time for a little style pivot. Lately I've been exploring Atsushi Nishigori specifically in the "Panty and Stocking" side of things (I suck at sharing my experiments) But what if I added some Genndy Tartakovsky into it too? I think those are two styles that could mesh well.

I think the worst part of this whole AI thing (for me) is that I did contemplate using it *JUST* to write my resume so that it can make it pass the resume scanners that employers use so that I can get a job. Because I am stupid and literally have never been able to write one in my life.

For my background noise as I work, I'm watching Dexter's Labratory on Tubi; and now I want to know. Who would win in a fight? Nicole Watterson or Dexter's Mom?

And we're walking. We're walking. For reals though, walk cycles are hard, and this one is just a "standard" one. Can't wait to get into the acting part of it. :D Also, while I'm doing these comparisons, I'm finding the differences interesting...

haven't done one of these in a while and I'm up early so let's #ARTSHARE post your favorite recent pieces! tag your buds! kiss each other on the mouth! or don't! whatever!

I got carried away with playing with animation stuff, and so am not ready to post anything new. SO INSTEAD! Check out some of my school work. :D

Did you ask for a WIP update? No? Too bad. :D I'm thinking about keeping a cel-shaded copy because I like it and then doing a "painterly" version as well. I've got plans.

Base colors, simple shading and highlights added to my Good Bye Lara. I opted for a baumkuchen cake over a flower. I plan to do a lot of color experimentation with this.

Me: Remember guys *insert important thing that makes life easier here* Also me: *Literally forgets own advice EVERY time* Yesterday it was remembering to claim a spawn point in Valheim and then I died three times in a row. Today it's thumb nailing a piece before just diving in and crashing out.
