Art Dump

This is just an archive of old and new art! Old art comes with lots of text, new art generally doesn't. I also post art of my characters that people have made for me ))

To get back into drawing back in like? May?? (April.) I offered to do some light drawings for free in the server. The first one is Jun, the OC of ShAcKmO, while the second is Listelle, the OC of Kierax. It was nice to make something soft and pastel, and I’d heard a lot about Tony’s characters from just reading in the server, so it was nice to make something of one of them. I’m actually super embarrassed that I got Listelle’s outfit pretty wrong...but such is the problem with drawing based on a zoomed out mmo refs. Little did I realise that Kie actually have her separate tabs for outfits refs that would have helped me a ton ;; I really don’t check tabs often, I forget that they’re a thing on th tbh

I think they both turned out pretty ok though!

I’m behind in uploading the art I’ve made since...April? Geez. Part of it is just cos I’ve been underway for a lot of it, but also I just haven’t been online much when I’ve been home.

Our next event in the server was making little character eggs! We only submitted one and voted on them tournament-style, but I made a whole set cos they were fun. Going middle -> left -> clockwise, the eggs are Raziel, Yesac, Marie, Gameo, Levin, Plus and Demon. It was very fun to essentially make lineless aesthetic icons for my OCs )))

The themes for Raz’s were cake (his main magic), a book (because of the one inside of him), and cuts/scars (because of the ones all over his arms and the big one in his abdomen). For Yesac it was just sunny days, his red scarf, and the emblem for the RDK that I never use lol Marie’s was based on death/her reaper, water and the moon. Gameo’s was twisted love, blue roses and the night sky. Levin’s was purely his visual aesthetic cos I felt guilty that most of mine were heavily symbolism-based and I thought I might be going too far afield of what the intentions were ;; Similar for Demon’s and Plus’s, though the cross for Plus’s was supposed to represent how his armor shatters and is cast off when he takes this form. Speaking of, that’s the one I submitted! We were supposed to have a reveal image for after the winner was chosen, so I sketched up Plus quick-like cos I didn’t have any actual art of him like this (I just do pencil doodles of it a lot). Mostly cos it’s incredibly spoiler-heavy and I tend to stay away from that stuff lol

The concept of it is, eventually Plus kinda breaks down over the fact that Data going around saving people in his own way from the game is slowly breaking the game’s coding, which is going to ruin it for the people who’ve decided to use it as a safe haven. He turns his back on the team and decides to fight them to save the game by preventing them from breaking it further. In so doing, he gives himself the power of the in-game monsters to be able to fight them (his monster arm) but also has a more tenuous grip on his own trauma, which causes it to morph more and more out of his own control (his deformed arm).

He ends up being the final boss that Data has to take on alone, but he cannot and will not defeat Data. The outcome of the battle decides his ultimate fate and that of the rest of the game, though.

I made it back home in time to participate in the newest event in the server, which boiled down to “have your OCs pranking each other, wearing something silly, in an unrealistic scenario, in a ridiculous expression or in a meme.”

Like most people, I was lazy and just went for using a meme lol For being lazy I put too much effort into this though ;; I didn’t want to bother typing everything up and trying to make that look nice, so I ripped the text from another one that looked right (most people replaced the Tokyo-Tohoku part in the upper-right, so I generally looked at that and the quote) and then didn’t realise until the end that hey...the upper-left doesn’t place them in Shibuya Station, it has them in Yokosuka lmao Fine by me since I’ve lived there, but GHC is nationless so I was originally going for the default.

I like to think of it as somewhat of a continuation of this comic, in that Anan is stuck there because they’re still sharing a scarf lmao I also thought briefly about throwing the rest of the gang on the crosswalk, but I’ve got other things I need to do today. Speaking of...

[doodledesigndevelop]

Yo, earlier was the moody couple, so here’s the cute and happy couple www Trying to play around with simpler shading styles, but also lineart is such a pain lolsob As someone who basically never draws fullbody though, I think the anatomy and posing turned out alright, though ))

[doodledesigndevelop]

Push & Pull

Aka “I wish you would give me that one final push” vs “I just want to pull you in close”

I love the moody ship...but it’s also the quiet moment where I realised that Glitch is, at it’s most allegorical, a story about depression and suicide lolsob The original plan was for Data to save everyone, but it’s written for a game format, essentially, and expecting people to play perfectly, ehhh...and the potential for drama in allowing you to keep playing after letting people essentially die was too great for me to (hypothetically) pass up, so it ended up instead being you could lose against up to a certain number of bosses before the emotional strain of it makes Data quit playing. Then it evolved from there to some battles being expected for the player to lose to advance character plots...

But the thing I really wanted to gush about was!! My favourite plot for this ship is an AU where Data actually manages to save everyone up until the final battle, where he ends up actually losing Plus. I might now consider losing him the canon end and saving absolutely everyone the golden end, haha Sounds terrible for a ship, but consider: since no one else is trapped in the game and Data still has admin access, afterward he locks everyone else out, but keeps playing and making edits and patches to try and rehabilitate Plus on his own, while irl he moves out of his parents’ house and takes care of the comatose Plus on his own. Still melancholic and melodramatic but I love it ehe ///

But about the actual drawing LMAO the lighting ended up hella goofy (what angle is it actually coming from? Who knows!) but the colors I picked for it are pretty ))) Similarly, I love the way I drew the hair and faces, but actually lining things up with the fence that I drew by hand made a few things a little awkward ;;; I think it’s good to play around with these things and grow, though.

I was gonna wait on more art people owe me, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be forthcoming soooo here’s some stuff I got over the holidays! Lots of Katya, she seemed to be immediately popular with folks once I opened the BELOVED cast up to the public lol

Crossed-arms Katya was by Dawnpainterz; silky-smooth Katya was by Chosho; cool pose Katya was by Blackcatskulls; and tender Satordi and Gameo were by Suadacity! Overall it’s a very nice batch www

[doodledesigndevelop]

A fun lil batch this time! First one is Gameo art I started a long time ago, and dragged my feet on cos the original plan was to make it a clean solids piece. Back in hecking June Arty came up with an OC design where the dude had a mask of flowers, and there was a beautiful Jojo’s fanart I liked with ribbons in the bg (their art is lovely, please check them out), so I was inspired to draw Gameo like this. I remember at the time I was listening to a lot of Cocktail by Hysteric Blue, too...you know, because of sexy black blindfolds lmao What an eclectic mix, but I’m still satisfied with the end result.

I think I finished the next one a little earlier than the first, but it’s vertical, so the formatting works better in this order lol It’s Miyoko, the OC of Chosho, for an art trade in a discord server (not ATU, rip ATU). Uh, I still suck at abs and boobs, so it was decent practice, but it still feels off to me in a way I can’t put my finger on :/

Last one was for a secret santa event in the same server! It’s Yosuke for beefy, and I love how it came out ))) Though it’s also a huge reminder for me--my drawing style’s been getting simpler lately (not necessarily a bad thing), but at times my grasp of colors and lighting seems to be getting better and it makes all the difference?? Those tend to be the things I love and appreciate the most when looking at other people’s art, so being happy with it in my own is great.

[doodledesigndevelop]

Decided to just ignore local colors of my own volition this time, but partly because I already struggle with my art being low-contrast without the palettes already starting out that way ;;;

From my rolling art shop on Gaia, it’s a storage box’s OC Featherfall and  rainy_secrets’s OC Izaiah Albers.

I’m glad people like these cos they are the easiest and most relaxing thing for me to offer haha And I need gg now that I’m getting back into my art buying addiction on gaia lol

[doodledesigndevelop]

A couple of comms for a storage box on Gaia, it’s two characters they didn’t give me a name for! I was running late for work on Sunday and didn’t properly grab their refs on my comp before I went in, so I just kinda eyeballed the colors from where I had them pulled up on my phone. Local colors are fake anyway--

[doodledesigndevelop]

Slightly better than doodles? Oddly enough when I added BELOVED to my art priority tag people immediately wanted to draw Katya, the one character with only two drawings by me that don’t really show off her design...so sure, I doodled up a kidlet ref so people can see her dumb greaves lol

But then also!! Today I got a jacket that is both a kinda ugly color but also super comfy, so I was thinking of what you’d wear with it to make it not look so bad? And wanted to put Levin in it, and I haven’t successfully managed to draw the gang together yet, even in doodles...so I gave it a shot. At first they were just having popsicles in the snow but then I got a hankering for papico, so they got to eat that cold snack outside in the cold instead )) Debating actually shading it/adding a real bg, but just in case I don’t, I wanted to upload it.

Also glad I can finally show the world both that Rosalyn is short and Sarge and Levin are a little tall. They’re both around 6′ and she’s close to 5′, so hopefully I got the heights right next to each other?

[doodledesigndevelop]

Lol yeah I’m in a better drawing mood. My half of a sketch trade with Blackcatskulls, it’s her OC RGB! What a cute character )) I really...don’t draw anthro very often, so I’m glad I got to play around with it a bit?

[doodledesigndevelop]

I had time today to do a doodle for myself. Hopefully this is a good omen for being able to draw more in the future? I’ve had ideas for actual drawings that I just haven’t had the time/energy to get to lately ;;

This is just a quickie of Katya and her silly outfit, though. I wanna have enough art of the BELOVED cast that I’m comfortable asking other people for art of them haha

[doodledesigndevelop]

Latest batch of trades, though a couple of these are a little old now haha ;;

First is Samael, the OC of forcedcoma; then Beau, the OC of LonelyWaterBender; Liam (and Ishtar), the OC(s) of echobows; and also Crow and Sven, the OCs of spoonbutt. Maybe work will calm down again and I can get back into drawing again...

[doodledesigndevelop]

Yo, I got behind on uploading the art I’ve gotten from trades cos I was waiting for one to get fixed without realising it wasn’t going to happen again )) So it goes. I really need to find a good code for adding notices to TH profiles about important accessories ;; Though mostly it’s just for Kayne, Marie, Dunne, Stell and Plus? Actually that’s a lot, huh ;; Tempted to include Glen in that list cos someone forgot his scars once, but it also really takes someone special to draw a person with something permanent and noticeable like prominent facial scars and then forget to include them lol As for the art here, they’re all trades: powerful Marie was drawn by aqua; elegant Gameo was drawn by Sirlatts; coquettish Stell was drawn by KK; adorable Data was drawn by kip; cool Prince was drawn by Link; floaty Data was drawn by Peachchu; posing Marie was drawn by LonelyWaterBender; listless Dunne was drawn by forcedcoma; handsome Levin was drawn by echobows; and loving Gameo and Satordi were drawn by spoonbutt! It’s a haul, but it’s also from over the course of a few months haha

[doodledesigndevelop]

Drew Rosalyn and Levin in Halloween costumes for an event in a discord server. Levin bought a few items of a costume for cheap, but Rosalyn’s BELOVED dressed her up for Halloween. Originally I was going to include Sarge in a mouse costume barely trying to stop them, but help, we’ve been in shift work for most of the month and I had to stay at work all week until today, so I didn’t want to put too much in and risk not even getting it done in time for the holiday. I’m happy with it as it is, though. I ship them post-canon, but the truth is that they don’t actually get along for most of the story, so their actual relationship is more like this lol

[doodledesigndevelop]

Latest batch of Discord trades, but I drew all of these on my holiday today haha I’d put some of these in a row together but the two that fit that way are the two I actually like!! First up is a kidlet of Elliot, the OC of kip; then a sketchy bust of Rhett Clifton, the OC of Link; finally, a two panel redraw of this gif by Peachchu of her OCs Shiyu and Yukine ♥

I’ll be the first to admit that my kidlet style is nothing special? So I figured I’d try something fun and draw Elliot in a sit spin, since his profile says he ice skates. I streamed the bust of Rhett, and painting it in was a blast. I love coloring in shapes ;; Another thing I love? Drawing Peachchu’s yandere OCs. Figuring out how to draw those hands was such a pain, though, and I’m still not sure that they look all that decent ;;; I tried sketching in the sketch brush I got from Moca, and while it’s great, it seems to get super crunchy after resizing, and I colored under the sketch for all of these, so whooooops

[doodledesigndevelop]

When I got back this month I offered mystery trades in the server, which really just meant that I could draw whatever I wanted for people, and also got art in return )) First is Electric Boogaloo, the OC of KrioLynn in some bright solids; then was Jennie, the OC of Sirlatts in rough paints; finally Beckett Ivanov, the OC of Aquacanis three times because I love this man.
