New creator making tickling pixel art and animations! https://www.deviantart.com/thrafec https://x.com/thrafec

Zarah "Warflower" Ebonstrike! One partymember in my cast of OC's! I uploaded her character profile in my server, so in case any of you patrons have been sleeping on it, check it out!

So a couple recommendations I've gotten lately. Spend more time on quicker sketches. Study artists who you think do good stuff. So here's an attempt at a supergirl study from one of my favorites, @artgerm.bsky.social , Stanley Lau.

In preparation for an upcoming pic series, I decided it would make sense to formalize Violet's design in my new style. So I did a character profile! Violet's character informs how I depict her, so this was well worth the effort. #Tickling #art #originalcharacter

Posted a breakdown of a couple of my WIP drawings over on... The o t h e r site! Long and short of it is, I'm doing a progression series of Violet getting tickled in stocks, but I realized, after nearly finishing 2/5, that a bunch of stuff is wrong. Here's what they look like atm, though! #tickle

Can't believe I started making #tickling content at the start of this year. Here's a little collage of the highlights from the past 11 months. It's not everything, but it's a snapshot. Thanks for sticking with me, guys. I plan on making more in the future! #ticklesky

It takes me a while to execute on a set of construction shapes I make, so it's a bummer when I have one that ends up not turning out right. The last couple studies haven't been great for final products, so I don't have anything to post right now, sorry to say!

After two weeks of just drawing, I think I need to work on drawing 3d forms. A lot of my art doesn't acknowledge the rules of perspective, and I'm struggling with Loomis because I can't reliably draw circles. This is the drill I've been doing. Wild how the ratio of lines changes on cubes.

So, I'm real new to drawn art... But I'm really finding the breadth of opportunities to express myself really exciting. I was talking with a buddy, and it dawned on me... I could just... Make my own comic. Tell stories with my art? That's all I've ever wanted to do! So... Possibly... Eyes peeled!

Got a pen tablet from a friend of mine last wednesday. Super excited to launch back into #drawing! I'm taking a step back from pixel art, because I really want to be able to deliver on subtleties that sprites can't really. After a few tutorials on #inking, #coloring, and #shading ... Here's Eliza!

As a heads-up, since you guys might not know this, my 'claim to fame' is a free video game I've been developing called "Featherbound". It's an interrogation game where you work information out of my mage character Eliza through #tickling her. #indiedev
