So it's been probably a week or two of me thinking about my oc Phoebe(current Ref sheet). She needs a bit of work still(and maybe slight design tweaks) but I think an oc ask comic blog would be really fun and might help me develop her more(?) I dont have much of a following, but im curious if you guys would be into that little endeavor. Ofc I'd have to work on more characters than her for that to really work tho👀

yay or nay?

Id be interested in the blog.

I would not be interested.

No clue what this is abt.

Gonna have to bully myself into actually working on something now. This will probably end up being my main art project for the year if I stick with it👀

She may be subject to a redesign in the future as im not 100% sure if I fully like this design. But here is Phoebe of Team Pyre(initally my childhood Rocket grunt oc </3). I sketched her traditionally and did the rest digitally.

This is her grunt outfit. However, she wears a different jacket than the other grunts. Her design(and Pokémon Team) may be subject to change in the future as I try to work at developing my characters more.

If ur interested in lore ask in the comments or sum and i'l yap idk.

Wasabi drawing sketch to finished

I like the sketch a lot more than the finished product or lineart but thats alr, I'm not gonna always absolutely love everything I make.

Wasabi WIP sketch

Dont mind the flowers & table I got lazy

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Jst having some fun designing more furry characters. They would wear clothes but I wanted the patterns to show better nd im too lazy to do a version WITH clothes for It. Don't mind the halfassed front view it was pissing me off.

I have some Pokémon trainers I wanna design too but this is jst a warm up since I haven't drawn in awhile. This is all done w/o refrence so I lwk just tried to make it look simplified instead of making it accurate to an actual scolipede's patterns and stuff

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Been on a Pokémon kick lately, decided to make a Pokémon dedicated journal because of it. Here's my wip of the opening page

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

You guys are never going to believe this/silly

Both in under likeee two hours

Finished my full shiny team in almost one day what r the odds

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

The shiny is buns but its okay because now i'l have shiny Slowbro which is undeniably one of the most tubular shinies in kanto. So excited, Parasect and Jolteon are my last targets for my all shiny team(besides my Starter eevee of course!) This hunt took 1 hr, 11 min, and 18 seconds.

SHINY GOLBAT YESSS!!

I loveee Golbats shiny, I caught a female one in ultra moon and have loved it ever since. First shiny of my lets go playthrough too, I was looking for full odds charmander and catch combo Crobat at the same time. Surprised I found it under 31 encounters

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

320 total encounters(not counting the ones I didn't catch), 14 hours straight of shiny hunting no breaks. Can't wait to evolve him and finally actually continue the game.

[ex1st3nt1al-th30ry]

Edited my intro post again. Not much changed besides like the wording and I also had to update my dni a little, I changed my interest list a lot but like thats abt it. Check it out if ur interested idk

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Added a link to my main acc intro on the intro post for this account for easier access to the dni list and all that stuff

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Just had a dream that I think cured my art block oh my god. It was amazing and now I need to draw the characters in it. It was like watership down but with gay birds

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Before and after the top coat💔 i genuinely might toss that clear nail polish omfggg look how yellow he is 🙏

This pin pissed me the FUCK OFF.

Rant under cut because I am royally pissed off at my own stupidity

First, just the paint job itself took like 3 hours because I was being precise with a bigger brush than what I needed, then I spent almost 30 minutes repainting it over and over to get the skin tone just right.. then I didn't have a normal paint seal, so I used clear nail polish cause well, ive used it before with acrylic, and it turned out fine, right?

He turned yellow, like lego yellow. You can see Remnants of YELLOW ON THE WHITE OUTLINE. Tried to look up why this happened, no help. Spent 3 minutes desperately trying to remove the dry clear coat to no avail, my guess is the nail polish is expired, that or it just didn't react well with some chemical in the paint. Then, I dug my specially mixed paint colours out of the trash and repainted him YET AGAIN. Now the red is off colour and I need to get a proper paint seal tomorrow 💔 he was a lot paler than this, but the shade i actually needed had dried out so I had to use like the not mixed in kind and like re-mix the colour. At least hes not a lego anymore

No wonder the one time I actually indulge in my hobby, something like this happens. I cannot count how many times I have repainted his face in the last few hours. At least 6+ times. It made my lineart so muddy too since I had to rush repainting it.

If anyone can explain why my nail polish gave him jaundice it'd be greatly appreciated so it doesnt happen again. Please lie to me and tell me it was a happy little accident💔

[ex1st3nt1al-art]

Got some matte decoupage, and thankfully, it covered the glaring shine of the nail polish. He looks alright now, I think I can live with this.
