What is Art?

Art blog of an aspiring artist.

"Clea, fighting her solitary war." This one might have gotten ahead of me a little bit! But I definitely had a lot of fun working through this.

Expedition 33 is such a solid hyperfixation rn and I adore Clea she is my queen <3

Okay so uh hi everyone-

I've had a big break of sorts??? Honestly I'm just extremely egregious when it comes to remembering to upload. I forget about various sites, so I'm more consistent at other sites, but only sometimes I guess lmao.

That aside, there was definitely a large break in art as well. Blocks, or whatever degree of executive dysfunction, but overall? I'm posting now. I'm going to try and remember and be better about it lmao.

So uh... tumblr. Yeah. I forgot this place exists sometimes lmao. But I just played through Gates To Infinity with a group of friends, and we just beat the main storyline, and just got to postgame.

It also doesn’t help, that we gave the characters such personality beyond just the game’s dialogue, and the amount of growth and change that the partner had gone through from start up until now.

The way it hits was just... it really got to me and I love the emotions that PMD never fails to bring me!

But uh... look here if you want to see more frequent art uploads! ;w;

Also here have something completely NOT Undertale related lel. I’m still furry trash so yay. Here’s a Synth character I’m making. But I also like bats. So... Synthbat :D I don’t have a name for him yet, I’m still working on it; but here’s his design! I’m extremely happy with how it turned out <3 (Especially the hands I’m so happy with them)

So, I still draw lel. Yeh. Well, here’s an OC, Togore Dreemurr. Yeh, so original lel, yeh I’ve posted her here. But this a slightly different twist. If she’s put on the throne while still in that anger after losing Asriel, well... her training won’t go to waste. Here’s a determined Queen Togore.

A thing I made for Rocket league lol. Custom banners, yay. While I did the background, the image on the right is from a sticker pack on Telegram. #RocketLeague #CSP #ClipStudioPaint #Art #Design #Banner

I haven’t done much lately, got a job and all that. I got money though, and I still got some drawing vibes! I drew a friend’s character that caught my interest. It’s a possum. Yes, I love me the trash noodle lol. I made something simple for it, and I think it turned out alright!

[moonbaneslair]

Well, time for another @undertalesecretsanta thing! This time my assignment was for @timedectectiveontheserenity with a request for their version of Flowey (Nerds) interacting with Error Sans. It was an interesting go, as I’ve never drawn this version of Sans before. I tried to show a mild nervous sweat with Nerds, though i feel it was a bit too subtle; as well as the annoyed twitch in Error’s eye. I’m rather happy with it overall, as well as the text itself. Shadows are getting more and more understanding for me, as i let myself use higher contrasting values of a color to make things darker. Anyways, I hope you like the gift!

Mmm. Lucario. Fun Pokemon with the whole aura thing. This drawing was mostly to see if I was able to recreate it in its own style, as well as some playing around with this kind of lighting. I think it turned out rather well.

[moonbaneslair]

Mmmmm kinda old drawing but I still love it. I made this shortly after I played Night in the Woods. I fell in love with it absolutely, from art style to the characters and everything. So I wound up taking an Owl OC of mine and drew him up in a style very inspired by NITW. I still love it today <3

So, I worked with something a bit more unique. I went a lot lighter on lineart, in the fact there really isn’t any. I wanted to keep a mostly sketch-y look. So most of the shading is actually just done with pencil. Of course there’s some color shading as well, but I wanted the pencil’s shading to add to the look. It was fun doing it overall, mostly because I found myself intrigued in the subtle differences in rabbits vs. hares, when I was designing the mask. And also realizing how fun midtone canvases are for sketching.

The character itself is a concept for a custom SCP thing. When dormant, it appears as an ornate perfume bottle, that has a stronger attraction to those with a sense of vanity; and growing stronger, the more vain a person is. When worn, the wearer essentially has their body stolen, with the perfume manifesting as this mask.

And huzzah! After over 11 years, I finally sat down and made a fursona! So I started him off with a headshot. Baa. Y’know, baa? But yeah, I decided a goat just... felt like it fit the best, I dunno. So here we go!

[moonbaneslair]

Old flavor. Old old flavor. But Idk I felt like drawing him again. Only been what... five years since I first doodled this guy? Yeh. Changelings ftw. Cheesebutts.

[moonbaneslair]

Oh looky, a spider child!  Or is he? Two arms are missing. But it’s a smol! Designed for an Undertale based D&D game type thing. He’s a bard! We have four bards! :D Also flat colors... this is an old-ish drawing lol. I ought to redraw him sometime...

[moonbaneslair]

Catbirbs. More art I guess? Lol I went with a different style of sorts. I tried to make it look just a bit more painted, so i could add texture to it a bit easier with his feathers. I think it turned out well?

[moonbaneslair]

Hello! So I did more drawing stuff. I really need to remind myself to post places... But yeh. Either way, I’ve been having urges to draw Kobolds! So I drew up a character, and so here she is Leksi Esgro, a Druid! Because remember; Druids don’t need intelligence for their spells :^)

[moonbaneslair]

So, I recently fell in love with Ori and the Blind Forest. I adored everything about it; the movement felt so light and bubbly, carefree almost and innocent with the way Ori bounds and flips through the air, as well as everything down to the sound effects to the swimming after the first major dungeon. Everything grew brighter, and as I played more and more I fell in love with the world and the character. I look forward to Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and eagerly hope for and await its eventual release on Steam.

So I just had to do a drawing for it! I used some new brush types for the leaves, and I fiddled with trying to make a good glow.

[moonbaneslair]

So, it’s finally time! I’ve been waiting to upload this for some time, so here you go <3 I’m proud with how it turned out, had an entire night-long binge to get it done, and overall happy with how it turned out!  @xedramon There you go, hope you enjoy it! I have to thank you for having a reasonable, straight request for SS, and even an au I was vaguely aware of beforehand at least, as well XD It was fun to draw, in the end!
