WIP that I'm not sure whether I'll finish or not, but a friend got me Death Road to Canada as an early birthday gift, and I felt like I needed to sketch out this idea before I forgot. Playing with custom characters makes me realize what a wacky team I've put together.

Work-in-progress illustration of Dracula from Castlevania, Peppino from Pizza Tower, Taiki Shuttle from Umamusume, and the Medic from Team Fortress 2 in a car together. The scene is a redraw/parody of a scene from A Goofy Movie, which was popular with redraws of other characters a few years ago.

"Defenestrate" is a fantastic word, an incredible feature of the Latin influence within the English language. "Autodefenestrate" is even better. Imagine being in an argument, wishing to be rid of the other person's company, and whipping out: "Autodefenestrate yourself."

Finally getting back to my Castlevania marathon, having finished Simon's Quest tonight! I'll be perfectly honest, I know it's the divisive one, but I can't bring myself to call it a "bad" game. Is it flawed? Absolutely. Is it oddly-designed? Sure, I won't disagree. But I had a lot of fun with it! 😄

Well, people seemed to *really* like this, so I went looking around for another Franco Mosca pin-up to reference, and made a companion piece featuring her sister Pola! (Fun fact: Pola was my favorite from Sardegna when that faction was first added to Azur Lane!) #AzurLane #アズールレーン

Digital illustration of Pola from the video game Azur Lane, depicted seated on a Vespa scooter and looking to the side flirtatiously. The composition was heavily inspired by a piece of 1950s pin-up art by Italian artist Franco Mosca, but with a few alterations, including a new background referencing Pola's namesake with a view of the Roman Colosseum of Pula, Croatia. Additionally, the coat of arms of Pula has been added to the back of the Vespa, as well as a safety marking mimicking the striped decks on her rigging.

It's been a slow month for art, but I recently saw a vintage Italian pin-up from the 1950s, and wanted to re-imagine it with Zara from Azur Lane. #AzurLane #アズールレーン

Digital illustration of Zara from the video game Azur Lane, depicted seated on a Vespa scooter and holding a bouquet of roses and lavender (a subtle nod to her character quest "Storia di Rosa", as well as her sister Pola). The composition was heavily inspired by a piece of 1950s Italian pin-up art, but with a few alterations, including a new background using Zara's namesake, the waterfront of Zadar, Croatia. Additionally, the "Vespa" logos have been replaced with Zara's name and a rectangle mimicking the striped decks on her rigging.

Good news, I might actually have a WIP I can stick with! So, new art soon? Maybe? I hope? Obviously not getting it done tonight, but it sure beats laying on the floor mired in summer depression. July's almost over, and I still don't have anything to show for it come "Artist Year in Review" time.

I'm gonna be blunt with y'all, I have been struggling to muster the confidence to do anything these past couple of weeks, and I don't know why. Just feels like things default to "I'm gonna fail at it, so why bother?" 😮‍💨

Feeling really frustrated over art lately. Haven't had the energy to put into it this past couple of weeks, and when I do, I get mad that it doesn't look like I have an actual style, or one that doesn't show my influences. I dunno. I'll keep trying, but― Bweh.
