I have no idea what im doing

Hiya! My name is Goo! I'm an independent artist, writer, and performer!

I am a (mainly) digital artist who focuses on fanart and original characters and world-building! If that sounds like your cup of tea have a look around and I hope you enjoy your stay

I'm hoping to use this as a place to share and archive my art, but I've never used Tumblr before so apologies if I makes some mistakes lol

I've been trying to work on improving my fundamentals, cause surprise surprise learning to draw from mark crilleys manga books doesn't really help with that

I feel like I struggle with shapes and likeness, so I tried out the good old trace method

I don't think i did to well

I also tried recreating from sight and then stylizing those shapes

Keyword there is try lol

I know logically I'm not gonna be incredible right away but it's a little frustrating that this is so difficult for me

Advice is greatly appreciate I have no idea what I'm doing

Went way back to do planar heads and boring contour blob studies :P

I think my main issue is drawing with symbols instead of 3D shapes so I’m trying to break out of that as a start

I when to R/artadvice to try and get some pointers and I got my ass ripped open about how I’m incompetent, so that really helped with the old confidence

Probably not the best choice i could have made- oh well

🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!🌈I am confused! I used to feel pretty confident identifying as Pan/Nonbinary but recently I'm not so sure.

I've actually given dating another try over the past year, and every time | just felt less /sure/ about what | am. A part of me still feels like I'm pan but another part is starting to think I might be somewhere on the Ace spectrum?

Honestly, I'm not too worried about it- when I was younger I really cared about labels and flags and all of that but nowadays I don't really care. I think I'm perfectly content falling into Queer for the time being (and maybe tack on Gender Nonconforming if I'm feeling fancy)

[gooey-boop]

Trying to at least pretend I'm still working on it decluttering- I figured out what to do with some of my balsa wood

And I threw out all my empty apple barrel paints- yes yes, quite impressive, hold your applause

I really love the look of loose blocky painting but my hands and brain just can't figure it out

My mom stole these immediately- I wasn't even done with them and she was figuring out where she wanted to hang them

Percarious (HuskerDust) FIC- Part 2

Wanna get this posted before reality slams me in the face and I have a full breakdown- fair warning, this one's a little nasty

==========

Actions have consequences, and Valentino gets to decide what they are

!!NOTICE!! This chapter contains Non-Con of many different types. If thats not your cup of tea, !!FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS PART!! Chapter 3 will still make sense without it

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I also went back and did some editing on part one because surprise surprise! When you stare at the same words over and over for 2 weeks straight, you tend to miss some things- nothing major, just fixed some grammar and word choice

[gooey-boop]

So I got a button maker earlier this year, and I've been having way to much fun coming up with stupid shit to put on my bags- come point and laugh at my 2012 sense of humor

Some of them were just for me, a couple were for friends, and I’ve been handing out the Lord Omar pins to anyone who will take them- for luck, or course. I have some other ideas, but I'm running out of space on my bag TT

I was thinking maybe if anyone was interested I could put them up on my Kofi for a buck or two? Thoughts?

(Totally ignore the fact I'm procrastinating and borderline abandoning my decluttering quest- I got kinda board and most of the stuff I have left doesn't really fit the format. Like what the hell am I supposed to do with 50 sheets of shrink plastic, 3 mm balsa wood, and a can of green spray paint ;-;)

[gooey-boop]

Ok, I'm back to the weekly projects- bugs and beads- not much else to say

So uhhhh I'm not actually sure what to do with these? So far I've been making all of them trading card size so I can put them in an old binder, and then maybe bring them to trade next time I go to a con, but these do not fit in the sleeves… anyone want them?

And before you throttle me, no I technically didn't miss a week- I just gave into my cravings and did some sculpting, but I didn't like how it turned out so I never posted it- I did get rid of a bunch of soft old clay as a result so I'm holding up my end of the deal

ight- bye

Error Sans Jacket (sewing project)

It’s finally been delivered safely so I feel comfortable sharing the photos! Behold! My magnum opus!

First off, a million thank you @/sparksdaughter over on Instagram for not only being my lovely model, but helping with editing (and showing me what button to press on the camera) I am forever greatful, so please go give them love!!

this has been a while in the making- it started out last year as a birthday present for a friend who loves Error (and coincidentally shares a birthday). So it started as a birthday gift, then turned into a Christmas gift, and finally almost a year later I've finished it

There were a lot of firsts for me in this project- welt pockets, a standing collar, and a full lining! (which I will never be doing again on my lord) Despite that and a few other things I would do differentlyif I could, I think I did a pretty good job and am very proud of the results!

If anyone is curious I started out with the “Burgen Coat” pattern over on Mood Fabrics, and altered from there- if your interested I'd be happy to share my math!

Bergen Coat Free Sewing Pattern - Mood Fabrics

Craft timeless style with the Bergen Coat! A free sewing pattern for a chic oversized peacoat in cozy boiled wool, featuring a lapel collar

Anyway, I know there are more important things going on in the world, but crafting is my little escape from it all. A part of me hopes by sharing my projects I can offer the same to someone else out there

Watercolor chickens!

Braham, Croad Langshan, Araucana, and Buff

l've always loved how watercolors look but I think I really struggled with the unpredictability of them- now I know that's the main appeal, but it's still hard on my perfectionism

[gooey-boop]

I’m cutting it close but I have them done- the cursed pen can not stop me

So fun fact- alcohol markers used to be my main medium- they’re what I learned to draw with and what I used primarily until i switched over to digital

I don’t use them much, but I’m keeping them for the memories ✨

I had wanted to keep these all as original pieces, no fanart or OCs or anything, but I couldn't help myself- if I was going back to my first love I had to return to my roots

Some of the colors aren't perfect- I used to have a bunch of markers but I gave most of them away- I used what I had lol

ALSO- I swear I'm going crazy- I have such a strong memory of using Pigma microns for lineart and never having problems but for some reason they smudged so bad- I genuinely don't remember ever having that problem before? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, my childhood is not something I recall well

Pink pony is best pony

[gooey-boop]

I'm back to my weekly decluttering quest! I did some papercrafts! I'm sure I did them in the most ass-backwards difficult way, but I still had fun! I'd like to do some more of these, although preferably on a larger scale

If anyone would like the SVG files for these I'm happy to share them!

I've got this bag of really nice paper I got when my favorite store when out of business years ago, and although I do use it occasionally for cards I wanted to do something a bit more substantial

I fear I did not do the tortoise beetle justice 😔 I feel like a transparent material would have helped but i didn't find anything- oh well, I tried

So fun fact- I actually had these finished on like Wednesday, a I /was/ going to start on next weeks but I got sidetracked doing literally anything else

Also guess who still hasn't finished that sewing project 😬

[gooey-boop]

For this week (last week, I'm a day late blah blah) I continued with the indian ink, and added in some watercolor pencils! I really enjoy the depth and tecti can get by layering them, but I do not need 3 sets of pencils, so two of them are going into the donation bag

Ima be honest, I'm not very happy with these :/

I love the idea, I love the sketch, I loved the color schemes I came up with digitally, but I don't think i did a well realizing them. I wanted to have deeper, more complex skin tones but I was scared I'd go to far and mess up 😖

Big hug to my sister who picked out the colors for the blue haired one!

Also- I will be taking a break for this week because I have a sewing project project I NEED TO FINISH or the person for who it's for might strangle me 😬

A day at work leaves Angel in quite a predicament- Lucky for him, the resident bartender is around to lend a hand

Sigh Ight- I wanted to get better at having someone beta read for me, but the person I asked full on ghosted me for 4 days so fuck it, we're ballin. I know having someone beta is important and helpful but I'm impatient and I'm used to just doing it myself :P

Anyway, thats me complaining- Enjoy!

[gooey-boop]

this week I screwed around with some inks! Both acrylic and India inks- ink is genuinely terrifying cause that shits like extra super permanent ;-;

Anyway- eye balls? I guess?

I started out with 4 but clearly they didn't turn out- i did not enjoy the acrylic ink, so I found someone who will take them, BUT I had a lot of fun with the India inks! I definitely want to do more with them

I'm not quite done with the inks, I wanna try out some dip pens I have rotting in my drawer this week, since my cortisol isn't high enough apparently :D

[gooey-boop]

One of my goals this year was to stop being so precious about my things and actually use them- I'm trying to use something each week, and this week was some black paper I had and acrylic gouache! Have some little CMYK (except the C is actually more of a blue) aliens! I'm quite fond of them UwU

I tried regular gouache last week and I remember liking it when I was younger Im not a fan of it now- so into the donation bin. The acrylic gouache tho- I likey

Anyway, I'm kinda just going through my drawers- I'm thinking I'll screw around with some watercolor pencils and ink next week!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! God Danm was 2025 wild- a shit ton happened. I was in a play! I got to be a theater nerd again! I lost my job, I lost my stability- I went back to school! I'm working towards my drafting certificate! For the first time in my life I feel like I'm moving forward

Despite everything, I'm excited for what will come next

Anyway, I have some things I wanna work on this year, and since I have no one to share them with, I'm putting them here for y'all to criticize

get better at saying no

I have a really hard time refusing things- especially from the people I care about. I have a habit of coming up with excuses to convince others (or myself) I have a reason to refuse something. I can't control others. I am allowed to just say no,

2. Don't be a bank

I struggle with boundaries. I feel like no one will want to spend time with me if I don't compensate in some way. Because of that a lot of people expect me to cover costs. I have let people monetarily exploit me, even to my own detriment. I am not financially responsible for others, and I don't owe anyone a purchase

3. Use what I have

I struggle with perfectionism, and I'm terrified of wasting things on less than perfect results. I have to much stuff I'm holding on to that I've barely touched. I'm a hordery. I will use what I have, try new things, and let go of things I don't enjoy/use

4. Be more selfish

I have convinced myself I don't deserve good things. I have done to much damage in the past, and the only way I can justify living is by being a doormat for those around, and depriving myself of things for the benefit of others. I am allowed to want things. I am allowed to tell people how I feel

5. Be more truthful

I’m a compulsive liar. I lie about random things and make shit up for no reason. It's mostly just little things, but I do it in the moment without thinking then spiral trying to figure out why. I can be truthful with the people around me, and I can admit what I’ve lied about

And that's it! Those are the things I wanna work on- there are other things but I think it would be better to start small and see if I actually do it ;P

Anyway, Heres to 2026! I can't wait to see what comes next ^^

ALSO- very important- my lemon pig for this year :D I actually remembered to get lemons! I also forced my mom to make one with me, can you tell who's who's?
