one last wee thingy for the road for hayaryoweek! no. 8 - if things were different. in which a drifting cryptid somehow re-finds this asshole and threatens to shred him to ribbons if he fucks off again.
my plans for today have been F O I L E D!! but!! i still have yesterday's meal in my pocket!! hayaryoweek #5. TIME! hey, professor jin, what're you staring at? 8V

7 NIGHTS until HAYARYO WEEK
what is hayaryo week? aside from the obvious, a week-long endeavour organised by @no1ryomafan in which every spinach-poisoned sicko on the planet shall come together to celebrate/ponder/rotate/freeze dry/condemn under court of law the pilots of getter 1 and 2. or those two with other jobs, if you're AU-nasty. join the fun, as much as your circumstances allow! radiation sickness guaranteed! (organizer's original post plus further info here.)

Weirdly Specific Artist Ask Game
Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.
(I wrote this while sick out of my mind last year and it's been collecting dust in my drafts, I might as well let it run free) 1. Art programs you have but don't use
2. Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
3. What ideas come from when you were little
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
9. What are your file name conventions
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
12. Easiest part of body to draw
13. A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
14. Any favorite motifs
15. *Where* do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)
16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing
17. Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what
18. An estimate of how much art supplies you've broken
19. Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)
20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
22. What physical exercises do you do before drawing, if any
23. Do you use different layer modes
24. Do your references include stock images
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
28. Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
you really think someone who can pilot kaiser wouldn't try to add teeth to his helmet? really?? (the space agency probably said no.)
i'm not sure i'd call it a problem, but a persistent *thing* i have is that the flurry of squigglies you see above to me is the main fun of visual depiction - enough to get a form across, enough to suggest scale and atmosphere, but *purely* symbolic. and, crucially, not a 'product', a type of concrete visual sentence to hand over to a viewer to be understood in their own internal vocabulary. that requires compiling and translation - i.e. further rendering, and because i've developed an allergy to a lack of material variety in a drawing, increasingly granular decisionmaking. (occlusion!! value compression!! purposeful omission of high points or even form or edges in total!!! that's so many decisions!!!) and these are also fun on my own time, but because they function as a bridge to make things somewhat clearer, they ALSO activate my persistent drive for autonomy: suddenly i am not only exploring but also a translation vehicle. it feels like having to defend my decisions and marks. and the exploration has become a machine part, secondary to my number one enemy, the demand to explain myself. if i do anything in this arbitrary construct of finite time some people call a "year" i'd like to remove this (probably entirely hallucinatory) outside demand from my 'splorin, if only to spend more time with my drawings in a bid to not abandon them because they've started to stink too much of drowning in other people's understanding.
longer days will come around soon, after all!
a year in review!
