Sketch of Kana, one of my OCs 🙂 Life has certainly been something hectic lately and while drawing is the best way for me to deal with stress, sometimes the stress and anxiety make mental barriers between me and these things that help me cope. Pushing myself resulted in this, I'm just content to have gotten something out 😊 #sketchbook #sketch #illustration #art #punkgirl #oc

Forever doing all my art way too late at night haha. Those feels when your sketch gets too serious for the paper you started on 😩 RIP sketchbook paper, I'm sorry I scrubbed you to dust with too many watercolour layers 😅 Maybe I can salvage this before bed... Doesn't look horrible from a distance though 😂

Late night character designs attacked me again. #characterdesign #watercolor #illustration #nekotama #sketchbook #art

I'm so excited! I got myself a Christmas present this year, and it's finally arrived... I have a new phone! Goodbye to freezing, crashing, and most of all to yellow, grainy photos! For a long time now getting pictures of my art for social media has been a chore, it took twisted angles and uncomfortable posing to get a photo on my old selfie-camera-only phone and 9 out of every 10 pictures would be too blurry to even make out. As a result I've been posting less and less of what I do. Well now I'm back and better equipped and that means bettter pictures of my art more often from here on out 😁☺️❤️

Final form of my accidentally creepy as hell ceramics project 😅 Based off a drawing I did in Jan 2016 intended to symbolize what a "break" in depression dips can feel like; a desperate breathe of air while drowning. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, but this is how it turned out. #ceramics #art #artwork #depression #breathe #blue #water #ocean #artstudent

Had way too much fun #drawing my #oc Kana dressed up for #halloween and stayed up far too late. Ah well, a sweet ass #metal cat girl came out of it. Now to get some sleep...

Oops, lets call this a backtrack to #goretober day 1 for #bruises 😅 I sat down to catch up and old RP character #angst fell out. This is @batsbby s OC Malikai with my OC Cam (Cam likes picking fights he can't win). Did me some #experimenting with this one 🙂 #ballpointpen #watercolour #watercolourmarkers #inkwash #illustration I dare say it will take me longer than the month, but I'm still keen to draw all of the prompts on the #goretober2017 list I have, so keep an eye out even if they will be late ✌️

Here's yesterday's #goretober #drawing after I hit it with #watercolour . I waited h o u r s and the ink from one of the liners I used still ran... looks like one I bought for writing must have found it's way into my art specific pen collection 😩 I'll have to figure out which one is the culprit. I don't hate the effect but I'd like to be able to predict it at least xD

#goretober day 5; Lots of #eyes I'll wait till the ink is dry then watercolour this one 🙂 But just in case that doesn't happen till after midnight, I thought I'd post the #lineart 😊 Character is Cerberus, he can see through time and space, so today he's having a nightmare inspired by his omnipresent sight. #illustration #goretober2017 getting back into #animestyle

Excuse the edited-to-hell picture, it takes a lot to compensate for such a bad camera apparently 😅 I saw @xxanemia doing #goretober and decided it's been a while since my OCs had some fun and got themselves beaten up! So, belatedly, here's my no.4 for #goretober2017 keyword; #nosebleed ... Trinket doesn't mind a good scuffle, even though he's not great at fighting 🤷‍♀️
