Hi there I'm still alive.



"Yeah Rogue, she's sexy and smooth."
"Give up the emerald! Or die, I don't love you!"


this song is still a bop tho







make him chubby

Yeah I am on Christmas Break and now I only got one more week left and I was just doing lineart and shit for a portfolio. But YALL, I got a 3.7 GPA this quarter!! I mean... I was gonna choke out my Government teacher for nearly giving me a B at the last moment but my suave...ness was too much for him and I got that A. I'm happy but I am still in recovery from all the essays and boring lectures. 

(Art): These were all when I was in school so I didn't do any drawing during the break. A lot of the doodles on this page has been turned into lineart...




The majority of my break is going to be focusing on digital shit. I never get to do anything with digital art and I already expressed my discontent with my lineart skills, so I thought it would be a good oppotunity to just... practice and learn and   D I S C O V E R  . 

(Art): I'm just finding my ground here and exploring the programs that I use. I am learning more about Clip Studio Paint the more I use it and thank god cause I didn't spend 20(?) bucks on this shit for nothin.


(edit: the art was too big and stretched so i had to fix it)
(Art): Alright, yall remember this? So, on DeviantArt there is this critique group that I'm in (and no tea no shade no pink lemonade, but some of the members critiques are not super helpful) and I send this in and one person was like "well, you should do this and that and then actually ink this" and I was like "ew" BUT, as you can see from the past work that I do, I don't do that much full body character designs so I gave it a shot. I started editing the sketch because I like doing that before I start inking and jesus beesus on a lemon squeezsus.

• His legs were so close together like... What is a penis?
  
• His legs in general were kind of awkward like... he pretty much has to force himself to make his left foot be behind the right (and the left foot is broken).
  
• Because I altered his legs, I had to redraw his boots which a fucking bitch to draw.
  
• hands
  
• Because I am now taking this seriously, I had to add things on the top part of the design to kind of balance things out.
  
• In turn, I removed some random shit from the pants to not make it cluttered.
  
• His face was okay in the original, but something was just... off, so I played around with that. Fortunately, I like the edit more.
  
• actually, i think his nose is way too close to his eyes in the edit.
  
• hands
  

This shit took two whole sessions on two different days like... wow. Just for fucking editing? Also if y'all have anything to say just say it (please give me pointers about hands).








(Art): Color Theory who?

And a turnaround? That's inked?? And colored?!

i astonish even myself

Also, this is the first time I have actually attempted to fully colored and render a Steam Soul character (talkin about the blue jacket dude for those wondering). Writer friend seems to like it. Hopefully the Cool Pants Arron piece will be inked so I can make that the second fully rendered piece.

All in all, I'm trying out new things for the cost of not traditionally drawing that much. Ehhhhh, I do need to go back to figure studies because I have not done any studies for the past 2 weeks. I was busy death dropping in the hallways after I found dat 3.7 GPA. like seriously, i astonish myself sometimes.

anywaysyeahbye.
