My Artblog yay

This blog is about whatever I'm trying to work on at the moment, which is usually my comic, paintings, and whatever else. With a little bit about my personal life as well.

Hi i've been through some really hard stuff and have acquired an addiction to Flips chocolate pretzels. Here is a sammi

[hexagon-triangle]

Sorry for the lack of posts. My mom died 2 weeks ago and my life has been crazy messed up. I drew sammi on my phone with my finger while I was waiting in the social security office today.

Hello residents of Tumblr. I am announcing that I have fully acknowledged that this comic im working on will probably be a decades long project, given how I am now a slow as s. Also I am addicted to butterfingers.

Hello all. I made this drawing roughly 10 months ago. Hope you like it. I used my friend's cat for reference. I remember I started drawing it while my manager was throwing up in the breakroom trash can and I was awkwardly waiting in the back office. I started drawing it in a sketchbook I brought to work and finished it later digitally.

This is Temperantis, where Sammi lives.

I named this thing an Anemoraptor. Its like an anemone combined with a (giant) microraptor. It is a very light creature and its low density allows it to float in the air.

Made this expression sheet for Sammi when I was in college.

Get a load of this guy.

I have been making pins on and off for the past month, probably for my next market. This hammy is my favorite and I made gold and silver variants of it. His third eye has opened and he cannot fully comprehend it.

This is another character in my comic. Her name is Maeve and she becomes friends with Sammi.

Here is the titular main character for my graphic novel. Their name is Sammi. S.a.m.m.i. is an acronym, but I don't want to spoil what the letters stand for. Sorry for the crappy watermark.

Hi all.

I made this account several months ago and forgot about it. I remembered that I made it just now. I would like to introduce myself. I suck at talking, but I love to make art. I graduated from art school this year and generally know the direction in which I would like to take with my life. But I know it's not going to get any easier.

One thing I know for sure about myself is that I want to be a comic artist. I finished the first chapter of a graphic novel during my senior year in college. However, due to a lack of guidance and a lack of energy to seek out that guidance, I have sat on the first chapter for 6 months and I worked on other forms of art in the meantime. I have decided to self publish the first chapter at some point, but I would like to someday have all the chapters in one book as a graphic novel, duh.

I would like to get back into using social media more, but Instagram kills my soul and Reddit only seems to like my Pokemon fan art. There is an idea in my mind that screaming into the void of Tumblr may be beneficial to my mental health, even if nobody sees it. I did not have the time to maintain a social media account due to the fact that I work as a cashier at an evil satanic company. But I have the assumption that I do not have to be fake on Tumblr, so I can spend less time overthinking my posts like I did on instagram and reddit. It would also be beneficial for me to talk about what ever else I'm interested in, like music and video games and other coping mechanisms I have. That is why my blog is called Art&Chocolate, since eating chocolate is one of my coping mechanisms. Yes I know that is bad.

Perhaps today I will post some concept art related to my comic, or maybe I'll post something else. Maybe I'll post nothing at all. Who knows.
