Marcus (he/him) the entertaining creature that even posts on occasion and hopes to be better at it Can't take comissions but am open to trades and collabs. No AI, NFT and other scams please

Found me a challenge. No idea what it's called though, but rules are: friend sends you 3 random emojis and you assemble them into something

Fun fact: red happened cause the best reference of a gemstone I found was this color. And it looks dope with green

[ichnerve]

There is one creature concept who has a full concept art that I'm definitely gonna finish. Some day. Others are ideas. It looks like a cover but for real I just drew random face cause I hate wasting paint and leftovers have to go somewhere and then right side needed something

[ichnerve]

Been doing figure drawing exercises and woke up my inner comedian

[ichnerve]

An assortment

I find vending machines charming and it's fun to use aggressively cute style from time to time. And I glued it on a page, drew background, cut out some stuff for the front. Wanned to add a character in there but got confused how to not make it look more off then it's already giving

My bestie had a dream about a witch school for adults where the uniform consisted of a hat and rule to wear everything black. I illustrated it in a way

Character concept. Might need work still, but is fun to look at

One of the mice was a random promt design challenge or something. Old sketchbook one. Tried to draw him again like there's some kind of story but...nah

Pretty flyers can be acquired for free. I might be hoarding quite a stash

The comic may not be progressing much but I can do little drawings of these two not using common sense and struggling with basic tasks

When you've redrawn the face more then 3 times already and there's still something wrong with it:

(to be fair not like the body is entirely right as well)

Though regular posting is gonna end soon

I'm not that quick and these ain't that fresh. I pretty much just keep messing in my sketchbook and occasionally do a photo session. Can't afford a scanner, won't go to the city just to use one so the process is me standing at a wobbly chair to be close to the window taking pictures. Kind of an only option and it does indeed looks silly. Though I get everything I wanned in one go

Trying to get back into digital meanwhile. We have a bit of a toxic relationship which I'm hoping to fix. Also I guess it may be a good idea to start posting older stuff

[ichnerve]

I bought a green pen. I love green. Used to be a bit judgmental when people be using it, like, you can't erase pen, why would you do this to yourself? Well, it can be a good exercise to get stuff right with less attempts, let yourself make mistakes and so on. Not the reason I'm using it though. I just became lazy and stopped using eraser

Though it can be easily covered or removed in editing which I decided not to do. It proved to be a fun way to sketch some characters and just ideas

[ichnerve]

Horror vibes. Had my fun.

Found some stuff that I meant to post and kinda got distracted

These cut out hands came from an instruction how to use a clay-like mass I bought. I bought it cause I broke my favorite cup. I wasn't ready to say goodbye. Researched how I can realistically repair it and found this thing. It did cost more then a cup. It absolutely did not even hold it. I have air drying hobby clay that does a better job. The only pro was fun colors and the hands that I glued into a page. So study of someone else's hands for a change

I'm hypermobile, my hands have a personality but using myself as a reference ends in people pointing "broken anatomy" when, well...I am diagnosed broken. Would be cool if wasn't painful

Anyway normal hands from 2 years ago

[ichnerve]

First page finally done. Kind of a good tradition but for some reason I don't like to draw myself even though I have a cool design. Most importantly I did fill in my information which is censored there. I want my sketchbook back if I lose it, I don't want people calling me. I panic.

Had to fill in the back. Markers bled through. Kinda just drew my hand from an odd perspective. Could be an album cover concept or something

Some OCs to fill yet another page that was sitting lonely neighboring the start of inktober

[ichnerve]

Hey don’t listen to the comment is a scam, they hacked my account

Thought so. Though first time it happened like that, usually I get them from empty accounts, was just investigating why yours is different. Good luck getting it back, I know how stressful it is

[ichnerve]

Yet another redraw of a tiny design. I think if was from some package local art shop uses. Could be a cute illustration for a kids book

[ichnerve]

Markers, paint leftovers and other things initially done for testing purposes. But testing pages are sad. So I decorated

[ichnerve]

Before instagram's AI bullying got to it suspending my account cause it is convinced that I'm committing a fraud (cause I left a lot of long comments, most about cats) I saw a challenge where the elements of a character appear fast on screen and you need to pause, make a screenshot and there it is

I've got 2 more unfinished

This one turned out fun, I went for the plastic doll kinda vibe

[ichnerve]

I declared Carol to be my favorite character early on and I am still happy about that

A story about a scientist who got lost on a way to a research station and embraced his new life. He is embracingly close to civilization
