I got bored & the things I post elsewhere don't get me as much attention as I want them to, so I've come back to this site to throw art into the void & hope for feedback. I'll put 10 things here for now & see how this rolls before adding more. also today's my birthday.
& last but not least, some of the leftover sketches from the project i've been doing the last few weeks.
have a nice day.

Here's the image that I cropped to make one some of the possible armatars I posted in the Halloween thread. It's from OFF again because I won a shirt featuring a character from that game, so I drew this as a thank you to the person who gave me the prize.
Also, I'm still working on the slimy one, slowly but surely. I'm having troubles with making clipping masks on the shading though, so that'll still take a while.
Here's something from last year for comparison to my more current stuff. I feel like I've improved at least a little.
First of all I'm really happy that you participated in the armatar contest Hahaha, you make some really good stuff into !
thanks ^^
.
And I found it quite good.
hey thanks my dude

Are you seeking inspiration in Clive Barker's (graphical) works? Or Lovecraft's stories?
People always assume it's Lovecraft. I think the eyes and the tentacles give it away. While I've not heard of Clive Barker until now, I will admit that Lovecraft has been a little influential to this. Mostly, however, I've been inspired by Abigail J Harding's art.

That work is REAL good. The thing is, I see music in colours too, as well as numbers, people's names and other stuff. I also hear dreams .But, being an amature painter myself, I never managed to depict event the feel of it as good as you did there.
Bravo!
thanks! even though you say you're an amateur, i still think you should give it a go anyway. it'd be interesting, and you would be able to capture a wider range of textures than i could.
I also really liked that centipede character... It is so dreamy...
trust me, he's fun to draw.
i'm still working on the slime thing, but now also i'm working on another picture of the green one with orange eyes. here's what i've done so far on those, plus one more from last year as a bonus.
both of them are wips.
this one's from last year.
cheers
oh right also happy halloween!
thank you for the suggestions, i'll take them into consideration!
hello glorious denizens of AG, sorry for the lack of updates. i've been feeling kind of bad for at least the past week, so i don't have much to show for it. here's one thing.
have a nice day!
it was bad like a disease or more like emotional stuff ?
90% of the time with me, it's emotional stuff. because of the anxiety, ya know. also on friday i cut my leg pretty bad in the materials lab & it bled everywhere but y'know that's just how life plays :^)
.
Anyway if you want to talk about, Message me in the chat ^^
i appreciate your offer, but when it comes to this kind of recurring BS, i prefer to talk to people i've known for years.
.
Anyway, there was a really boring lecture today, so I did a few new things instead of paying attention during it.
another one of these, because they're pretty simple to make but they look so nice.
it's that new girl from Overwatch! i drew her as a gift for one of my best friends.
the stuff in the box bubble is something rude.
this robot is sad, just like me when i heard the news about the election.
Outch x'D Did you feel better know ?
The black guy seems more happy x'D Did that mean you feel a little better ?
Yeah, the scab finally came off today. It's still painful, but it's mostly healed now. Thanks for worrying! & yeah I feel a bit better^^
.
The overwatch char is really cool your friends surely be happy HahahaThe vel'khoz is really great x'D you make progress everytime as I see congrats !
What's the tips for the bubble language ? I don't see it hahaha
yeah, he loved it! & thanks!! I love drawing Vel'koz, he's a lot of fun. What do you mean by the tips for the bubble language?
.
And finally nice work on the Android You know I think elections doesn't really matter x'D it's like choosing between hell and hell Hahaha. People could make great things together and that's what matter I'm sure we will see some good stuff in the future so don't be sad for a puppet president x'D
Thank you! I'll have to respectfully disagree with you on that election bit, though, since Trump & Pence are pretty obviously anti-lgbt & I've got quite a lot of friends who are not straight or white & I worry about what will happen to them a lot. I guess it's good that I look just white enough. But I don't really like discussing politics, it makes me stressed lmao
.
After the ongoing projects are over, I'll probably have more time to do art. Maybe.
.
This one's a doodle of how I think a character from this text-based game I play would look. Her stats are something along the lines of "incredibly charming, even more dangerous, but not stealthy or observant in the slightest."
.
This one's slightly different because it's a photograph instead of something I've doodled, but I had to take a bunch of pictures of an object as part of this project & this one came out nice. So.
Hahaha this one is really cool ! I like it ! I'm curious how did that kind of drawings take you for achieving them ? You did really a good job on shade, coloring and the background is really cool ! You seems to continue making progress ! I'm glad to see that the necklace Is really cool did it have some power in the story ?
Thank you! Are you asking about my process? Usually for this, I sketch everything out lightly, go over it with a darker brush on a new layer, and then just set to coloring things in with a blendy brush & a few overlay or multiply layers to get the lights how I want them. I'm glad you like the lighting, it took a while to get it just so. The necklace is made of rubies that are someone's poisonous blood, or something like that. It's not actually an item she can equip, but I've got spare rubies & thought it would look cool.
.
Hahaha it's a Christmas ball isn't it ? I like the reflecting effect it add some deep to your pictures ! What's the subject of your project ?
Nice guess, but it's actually a lightbulb with a shiny patch on it. The subject is that we're assigned a random object (in my case, an old melted lightbulb) & we have to make it transform somehow. The project is stressing me out.
.
As for the art, I slacked off during Thanksgiving break & played this game called Star-Stealing Prince. It was pretty good. The soundtrack was great. Here's a picture of the bad end of the game.
Wow thanks for the tips about processing ^^ it was interesting I will probably try in my next!
No problem, good luck
.
Hahaha the necklace is cooler that I was thinking x'D the blood part was really original
Did you imagined it ?
It's from the game I mentioned, Fallen London.
.
Really nice art honestly by seeing this you make me wanted to play that game x'D
I've haste to try it when I will be able to, really the emotional details are really well made in my opinion and for having trying to make blood on a body you have really well made it if you have some tips about that I will be enjoyed to listen, and really x'D You're really talented for drawing thands, it's really hard but yours always looks so realistic
Thanks! I'm actually really proud of it since I'm not good at facial expressions, but these came out well. That game is free to play & download, so I recommend checking it out when you have time. Also, I just really like drawing blood, so I've had a lot of practice with that. To draw hands well, I've just used my own hands as reference for a while. Here, later, I'll make up a tutorial or something.
.
I bought some new markers from a store that's going out of business soon & immediately tested them out by drawing Vel'koz. Then I realized that the lines were clean enough for me to color it digitally, too. So! Same lines, different coloring methods. You'll probably see a lot of Vel'koz in the near future, since the markers I bought were specifically to color him with.
