I MADE A TEA SET (based on my OCs)

lowkey fulfilled my dream i've made so much of my own OCs merch

it's really small cuz i suck at the wheel but it's still really nice i'm so proud of how smooth it is and how the details came out cuz i was using a hella small brush it was like 1 hair

it's all underglaze obviously

yes and all the backs of the tea cup have their corresponding shape

these tea cups are shorter than my finger bruh but i still feel like i'm drinking a lot when i drink out of them

I promise he looks more purple in real life idk why he looks kinda blue here

it's also pretty big it's like 6 inch by 6 inch

[lrgoescrazy]

i promise i'm working on my art trade i'm just super busy rn and this was just a warm-up sketch that i ended up really liking

back to drawing women in bikinis ig i can't help myself

a woman... a woman in a bikini... a woman in a bikini WITH HALF HER HAIR TIED UP oh yeah

read 6 books (5 of them were paper books) yesterday i'm literacymaxxing and bookpilled

i love being an artist cuz i can just draw the sexiest woman ever and no one can stop me

[lrgoescrazy]

ART TRADES ANYONE??? i will draw characters (sfw and humanoid preferred) if you draw my puma guy (he has no name bruh even though i've developed him sm as a character)

DM me if interested!! any skill level ok!! (and i mean that btw take a look at my previous art trades i will do art trades with total art beginners cuz i love supporting beginner artists)

art trades will be OPEN for this whole week!!

this post was made almost exactly a year after my previous art trades post omggg my art was so bad back then wtf was that

sorry to anyone who drew puma guy last year and had to use such a terrible reference 💔💔💔 (ok but i FINALLY learned how to draw non-east asian facial structure lets goooo)

[lrgoescrazy]

Drew a little something for The Great Gatsby

i gotta post more often i just realised my last post was so long ago 😭

anyway though here's Daisy and Gatsby let me know if you can spot all the symbolism

i lowkey spent weeks on this

I always add too much detail and no one can ever see it I literally coloured the veins on their hands for pete's sake and I spent hours researching 1920s suits and shoes

i think tumblr compressed this to the point that you can't even see the green highlight in gatsby's eye :(

closeup hopefully you can see the details better here

I've also read The Jungle recently but that's... kinda too depressing to make art about

i deadass messed around and put a bunch of random things but somehow... it worked

edit: thank you all so much??? i wasn't expecting this to blow up nor did i know that the great gatsby had such a big fandom?? you're all so nice thank youuu i'm glad that my hard work paid off cuz i put blood sweat and tears in this thing

[lrgoescrazy]

Jayden (no blood version)

we dont talk about the background ok idgaf i suck at drawing backgrounds one day i will learn

but I love the colours i chose i always add so much contrast and saturation but i can't stop it

this is not the OG one the OG one is the one covered in blood idk why i just wanted to be angsty for no reason but it was a fun experiment to think about blood physics and also cuz i have experience with blood (i'm not doing anything illegal i just live in dry weather so i get nosebleeds a TON)

also i got a huge block of halva yesterday i'm hyped and i had a barbecue with my dad and it was delicious i also went to church and was reminded how pretty orthodox churches are there was so much beautiful art

which reminds me that i should prob eat cuz i havent eaten today and its already 7 pm 😭 i just get too caught up in my work bruh

doc straight up told me "you're really lean but i think you know that"

covered in blood version:

took some ibuprofen

lowkey got scared cuz one time recently i took 2 ibuprofen and it didnt do ANYTHING at all i thought i built resistance or smth but idk that was just one time

[lrgoescrazy]

finally decided to draw puma guy again

this is my type btw i just want a beautiful buff guy that's all i ask for pleasee i love men i love women i love beautiful people

trying to escape the airbrush curse i think i did pretty well

i love spending hours on rendering but at the same time it looks bad when i blend everything it looks too smooth

what i want in art contradicts itself i want both smooth rendering and rough painterly rendering

if anyone asks me about my character design, i'll just say "because i like it" or "because i want to" like why he ourple? because my favourite colour is ourple thats why

if other people dont find him beautiful i dont care because i simply made him the most beautiful to ME

one day... one day i will come up with a name for him but give me any ideas

[lrgoescrazy]

NOT sharing the context for this one lmaooooo

i cant believe this is a real pic of kendrick though

this was meant to be a "quick doodle" but i got carried away

[lrgoescrazy]

went to my first protest 3 days ago rate my signs

did i cook?? ignore ass handwriting and some of the art is sloppy i decided to go last second so i had to make these quick

i walked 6 miles damn

[lrgoescrazy]

just some angle and rendering practice

trying to eliminate the sketching phase

like i swear it's not some big conspiracy and that something is actually lost in the transition from sketch to lineart

anyway i did all these without sketches which is significantly harder because i usually dont sketch for basic front angles of characters but doing difficult or extreme angles basically requires a sketch for me

and also lowkey reverting back to my old rendering style cuz i lowkey love texture and painterly type look

my old art was just too airbrushed man idk it looked weird i like hard angles

my traditional art just always looks better than my digital art and was trying to find out why and then i realised i sketch way more on digital and my layout for my comics is legit stick figures because i just go straight in and draw stuff with no sketch

slowly trying to escape perfection but also training my artistic eye cuz there's no way i could do free-hand drawing in the past cuz it would always be so asymmetrical

[lrgoescrazy]

king's meal 🔥🔥🔥

[lrgoescrazy]

i drawed Zoro

HAPPY 2026!!!

PLS zoom in/look at it closely cuz i'm just so proud of it and i put care into every little detail

FINALLY i know i said i would and i finally did it

realising i havent done an actual complete drawing in over 2 months although i have been doing more non-digital and 3d art

there's a reason why i only showed a very tiny sliver of my wip for this cuz omg i changed my sketch so much and liquified the hell out of it

when i visualise zoro in my head he lowkey looks a bit like Tatsuya Nakadai idk why maybe i just been watching too many samurai movies, although i've always thought that if zoro was real he would look classically japanese like in those old paintings

i always say every drawing i've made is the best drawing i've ever made but maybe thats a good thing because it shows i'm consistently improving

anyway I LOVE ZORO!!! he's such a fire character and anytime i see him show up when i'm watching i start cheering him on

omg finally broke out of my overblending/weirdly airbrushed spell?? love texture sm and the new rake brush def helped, lowkey realising that if i just loosen up a bit and stop being such a goddamn perfectionist my art actually looks better

[lrgoescrazy]

bugs when you lift a rock

havent drawn jayden in so long and i actually cooked? ignore ALL past art of him ok it doesn't exist it never existed

i always feel like making summer themed art in the dead of winter man

nah but those ramune ice bars are bomb idgaf about weather i eat ice cream year round

also no sketch or guidelines??? i just threw myself into this drawing like i got pissed with following structure and it actually looks much better that way?? even for something thats much harder like perspective and posing

still had to pause mid drawing and look at some refs though but it still felt like a much more freeing art piece

and also no character refs used either... i swear some of my oc art looks wonky cuz i try too hard to make it exactly like my ref

[lrgoescrazy]

mocha soyjaks

plus orange juice, lemonade, and water AUs

i'm contributing so much to my friends' characters 🥀🥀🥀
