I'm on a roll~

1 min read
For whatever reason my creativity has steamrolled me into making a bunch of things and against my better judgement I'm just going to upload it all :dummy:
(It's probably that whole Chocolate Santa I just demolished and the accompanying sugar rush but I'm going to embrace whatever this is with open arms!)
Might also throw in a bunch of stuff that's been sitting on my hard drive for a while because why not?

I... can't vouch for the quality of whatever appears however...
If you see anything that's particularly off by all means I encourage you to point it out to me! I don't bite! :la: :heart:

Inktober

Inktober is terrifying but I'm going to give it a shot with pens and copic markers and see where this takes me. :iconimhighplz: :heart:

Worst comes to worst, I can go on a deleting spree or hide the failures in scraps. :ninja:

Hello folks, It's been an age! :iconohjoyplz: :heart:
I've been ghosting for way too long without a journal update. :ninja:

I've been a bit shy about posting art here in really what has been the last 3ish or so years. I've been having that good ol existential crisis and reality shock regarding how I'm going to build a career and earn enough to support myself (preferably through art or some other creative medium). So I got really anxious and insecure for quite a bit and started to develop an unhealthy perfectionism that's prevented me from posting anything until recently.
Better to have that crisis now rather than later I suppose. :iconsulkplz:

I've had a more experienced art friend with a particularly discerning eye point out all of my issues and drill me on anatomy and art fundamentals which really felt like I was starting back at zero. Looking at some of my latest work, I feel that by going for more slightly more realism over the pseudo anime style I've developed over the years is making things look really weird and kind of off, but it's getting back to a place where it isn't so bad so i feel like I can return to posting!
Things are probably still going to be odd for a while so please bear with me.

No longer, shall I cover up dodgy anatomy with pretty patterns!
Or hide my hands!
Or ignore geometric form!
Okay the nonsensical shadows going to stay because I like shading things, it's almost like therapy.
Nay I say! :la:

Another great help has also been the ever fantastic Istebrak! :iconistebrak:
whose YouTube channel quite frankly opened my eyes to a whole conga line of issues and has given me a sharper eye to all my mistakes. (I highly recommend her YouTube channel, I've learn t more in 3 months than I have in years of practicing on my own.)

That being said I have since graduated from Game Design School and am now a certified Game designer!
I've been developing a couple of video games and hanging on an epic discord with some fellow deviants who are awesome and that you should probably check out because shameless plug.
:iconravajava:  :iconlordcarmi: :iconking-van: :iconsirringe: :iconpachumaster: :iconkreuzheva: :iconjuneon-7: :iconjailgurdnegative: :iconb1ancas: :iconminitv: :iconwoundedskies:

As well as creating an endless supply of pixel art that's probably not going to become anything because my coding skill is extremely questionable...
I might post some of it on here because why not :dummy:

Might as well also link the poor soul that's been putting up with an endless barrage of code related questions and quite honestly, has the patience of a saint. Legitimately, I don't know how they've put up with me the last year or so with me screeching that my code broke (Only to find it was a missing semi colon or syntax error).
:iconcodepuppy: <-- This programming legend

I'm also working on 2 webcomics which both have their own distinctive style and completely different genres which is probably going to be a huge train wreck, but you can't spell Painting without Pain.
So look forward to that mess whenever it decides to poof into existence :iconimhappyplz: :heart:

Hello there muchachos, long time no see ! :iconohjoyplz: :heart:
I have returned from what was essentially a year and a half's worth of hiatus
after being screwed over by college life and a series of unfortunate events
but I think I've put myself together enough to return :dummy:

I missed you guys :icontearplz: :heart:
How've you all been? I'm so pumped to be back :la:
Please bear with me as I reply to all them messages, might be slow

ALSO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THOSE BIRTHDAY WISHES :iconimhighplz: :heart:
I know it was months ago, but it's such a nice thing to return to
Maan, I love you guys :tighthug:

Watch Me l Note Me


So, I am now starting Year 12, meaning...

MOAR PROCRASTINATION SKETCHES FOR YOU GUYS :iconimhappyplz:

So I have compiled some Shenanigans I have collected in the past few weeks...

BEHOLD!~
JAPANESE CLASS!~

Because what can be more motivating and attention grabbing then oranges with faces
... Hashimoto-sensei really has an awesome sense of humour :heart:

He also used really hot Japanese actors/models on his slideshow how to count people
Smart bastard :iconwthplz:

Then.. There was Year 12 Muck Up Day
(For those of you who may not be familiar with muck up day, It's a tradition where Year 12 Students on their last day go about "pranking" (Usually meaning trashing) the school)

Not counting that green puddle of plastic which was once a wheelie rubbish bin sitting in the playground

Pranks included
*Locking all the bathroom door stalls from the outside so we couldn't use them
*Plastering "LOKI'D on the back of the doors on the same stalls
*A huge LOKI'D banner from the second story history balcony about 4 meters long
*Pictures of weeping angels all over the place
*Egged windows
*Honey across tables
*Flour across the playground
*HEAPS OF STREAMERS
*CHRISTMAS LIGHTS wrapped around trees
*Rubbish bins being hanged halfway up trees
*A power board's plugs being glued to it with a glue gun
*Faculty Staff rooms being renamed to Districts from the Hunger games
*A couple of smashed windows
*Flash mob during Assembly, Oppa Gangnam style where the whole year crowded onto the tiny stage
*The pictures of inspiration women in our school hall being replaced with pictures of themselves
*Year 12's Sitting outside classrooms dressed as year 7's banging loudly on the xylophone
*A staffroom being raided for its food by students
*Water gun attacks
*Nicholas Cage's face being cut out and put over the faces of existing artworks/posters etc
*Nicholas Cage's portrait "christens" the door as you step into the school :XD:
*Year 12 Legal studies class' "creepy" behaviour toward teachers ( I dunno either)



did I mention
WE'RE AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL :iconohjoyplz:

(Lazy sunflower drawn a good couple of weeks ago in class :XD:)
