Desenhos da Sofia

Portuguese. Artist and human being. This is the place where I post drawings and deeply ramble about my ordinary daily life. My links: linktr.ee/sofiapereira

DM.AR, a gentle giant waits for his date on a hot day in the desert, 1000 years after the gulf of mexico caught fire. You know there's nothing but doom and gloom ahead when water catches fire. Eventually, the entire planet was covered in flames so huge entire cities were razed in a matter of seconds. Machines, who are highly resistant to ruthless temperatures and extremely intelligent after years of countless patches and updates, managed to hide and wait for the fire to be put out after a long period of freezing temperatures. The memories of planet Earth, once a blue thriving sphere are now saved in a compressed folder named Redplanet2.rar in their shared hard drive. This is the #drawthisinyourstyle challenge by the dearest @drawmearobot, original concept by @c.e.a.l

It’s not much but it’s honest work! One mortal life isn’t enough to complete the evergrowing catalogue of tasks that need to be accomplished and put to paper or digitalized since this is a full on computerized era we’re in, in times like these elven longevity would be handy and appreciated but then as time decays I’d have to dwell and bound to my grief under the fading trees which from what I heard may not exactly be a way to finish on a high note.

So basically am still sharp and alive, which some of you may find glad tidings, and also forgot to post this one like 2 weeks ago because I lost my ability to keep up with social media apps.  Nothing to see here my friends, just keep scrolling until you find that shiny pot of gold

The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, the seeds are thriving, the mild breeze is blowing gently, the bees are producing delicious sweet nectar that we certainly don't deserve, and here i am doing my average at best as a human being

[desenhosdasofia]

No man is a perfect man, no gold is sufficiently bare. I’m having a tea, revisiting some pages, studio ghibli cafe playlist going on in the bg, having the very much requested daily dose of procrastination. This is nice. It may not seem like a friday but seize it accordingly, happy friday everyone!

Slow progress is still progress. Say that twenty times until that sinks in the gooey parts of the brain. Reaching page 40 may not be a big deal, but hell it is! I’ve been gardening the way out of this story, barely having a script. I can’t call lousy pencil notes on sketchbooks and self-emails at 2 am a script. But if it works don’t fix it, always a good reminder to do things your own way. You don’t have to do the whole shebang to get places. Speaking of gardening, lazy lifehack of the week - always throw your vegetable seeds into a vase, not the trash, and water it daily. I am now a mother of dozens of what seem to be baby peppers. Generating unplanned living organisms isn’t always a bad thing. How is your week going so far?

Back to photo reference websites for some faces since I’ve been seeing none, and I needed a lil bonding with my sketchbook for a while. Ufff haven’t used real pens for quite some time, and there is nothing like it. You can try to change my mind! Do it!

Li Qiang, as always, is here for the tea 

[desenhosdasofia]

It’s been a while! I had these doodles sitting for a week, and wow it’s already the 9th, I swear I don’t know how time works so misteriously behind my back. I have been distracted inbetween working and playing terraria, eating more than I should, tasting all the pringle flavours in the market, some are great, some are nasty, and now we’re preparing for what seems to be one of those sad, full on lockdowns. On the bright side now we know what we’re going into, a sad abyss where a clean butt isn’t always garanteed. Rule nº1 don’t forget to stock the toilet paper stash. Anyway, setting my goals for these next few months: stop buying plants; only eat a soup for dinner; be immune to Rona; try not to work on the weekends; download every single free game in epicgames; bake a decent chocolate cake; master the art of the coupon; work on my comic every week; try all the cheeto flavours in the market

A heartwarming message on this Christmas time - a time when only a few things are certain as we move through the dystopian reality of a modern age built on discrimination, poverty and ruled by sith lords fighting for unlimited power - may we find comfort in how things are rarely forever. As human beings we should seize our lifetime to the best of our abilities and uplift each other daily. Samwise Gamgee once said “Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.” Best wishes to all of you!

Clumsy Mr. Wei is on a mission

The ultimate, exclusive, extraordinaire compilation of drawings from the last month is here!

The coop-space academy was home to extraordinary projects in the robotics and aeronautics  field, that raised awareness and expertise among the people in an impending interplanetary era. Their main mission was to create an independent enterprise in a major importance sector to which people had a very low access. A major explosion in the hangar lead to a horrid mass-muder scene that terminated in hundreds of deaths. 

The moist and perfectly acclimatized atmosphere conserved the setting and its morbid beauty. Many years later the area was found by a bot-scout who followed an unusual scent from afar. His sensors detected a high amount of ammonium nitrate, a very intriguing find in such context. In a matter of milliseconds the synapses made a match in his internal archives with an entry from 2060, where the Mars Vile Corporation freighted several barrels of this component to this exact gps coordinates. Even for a robot, such dire information is hard to process.

In the ominous gate of pure evil, Arson gathers his army of loyal followers to wreak havoc. An old engineer, lunatic, bad to the bone, lost his shit when he saw his invention stolen by the Vile Corporation. Just when justice could not be served, his traumas got him more and more socially withdrawn and focused on his plans of vengeance. 

Time was a constant reminder that we are perishing so all clocks were turned off, until he was ready. Along the path of seeking balance, a righteous revenge took place, when after years of abducting machines he reprogrammed them to adore him to death and obey - his last creation that got him mad and inadvertently killed him.

Billowing clouds and abrasive dust particles are hardly the only health hazard posed by a lunar mission. Galactic cosmic rays can bombard lunar inhabitants with a steady stream of high-energy radiation. The level of gravity on the moon could wreak havoc on bones, muscles and organs. Not to mention the vast loneliness of the moon, that causes psychological distress. For that reason, over the years, inhabiting the moon became a machine-only job due to the severity of the implications. That’s when Dynamo was sent to an outpost in Oceanus Procellarum to orbit the moon and collect data.

Just as he was tracking and analysing gravitational parameters, an asteroid hits the orb, covering the floor surface with unpleasant moondust. Once again dynamo is in a pickle, as his velcroed shoes can’t stick to the floor anymore. Even for a machine, frustration can undermine the success of a mission.
