Moonlit Chaotic

Thomas || 22 || he/they || one of these days I’ll recover from posting anxiety!

Hello Tumblr!

My name is Thomas, but you can call me Tommy or T if you’d prefer. I’m an artist that’s been doing the thing for almost as long as I can remember but have recently started to have an issue with actually showing anything off to anyone. I’m hoping that by having a platform it could help me regain some confidence!

Lately I’ve been helping out my friend @bodacious-bombini with their webcomic and appearing as a guest artist named 🌙 ! It’s been a lot of fun helping them out with pages, I highly suggest checking it out if you get a chance.

What you can expect out of me in terms of art is D&D characters, original characters, and perhaps the occasional Pokémon fanart. Hoping to post soon!

I sent this art to my friend @moonlit-chaotic and they said "oml you drew her so damn pretty tho????" so I'm gunna assume I'm on to something with this design!

[moonlit-chaotic]

You are!!! I love that head you made, especially the eyes!

[bodacious-bombini]

Finally... PART 6 IS DONE!!! Told ya we'd make it happen!!! Now, everything that needs to be out before The Lighthouse is out!! And a good thing, too, I can finally move on from my 1880x1880 era of art... the panels were getting cramped!

Shoutout to @harperspective and @moonlit-chaotic for their contributions!!!!

[bodacious-bombini]

FUCK YOU, @moonlit-chaotic!!! I was happy!!! Then you had to be all "Hey, you should try shading it! I think it would improve the piece, and it's good practice! :)"

NOW I'M GUNNA WANNA TRY AND DO SHADING FOR ALL OF MY COMIC DRAWINGS!!! It's gunna take so long... but it's going to be worth it, you jerk >:(

[moonlit-chaotic]

I’m glad to have been of service 💜

Look at the art!! The improvement is amazing and I love looking at it!!

[moonlit-chaotic]

Hi hello, I’m not dead! Work has just been kicking my butt so I haven’t felt motivated at all recently. But! Have a new drawing! Her name is Ami, and I would die for her

[moonlit-chaotic]

My attempt at @bodacious-bombini ‘s design! They’ve posted a few pieces showcasing “bee fashion” and I really liked this one in particular!

[bodacious-bombini]

Finally!!! Part 4 is done!!! Are you as excited as I am!?? When this whole comic gets finished, I'm gunna stitch em all together into one whole comic! So excited to get this done, now I gotta harass my friends to get parts 5 and 6 done hehehe...

And the panels are different sizes, for the first time in like... a while! Since I was doing MS Paint comics! I just couldn't figure out a nice way to smush everything into a square panel...

A while ago I decided to do an art challenge that was popular over on TikTok! I threw my iPad into greyscale and grabbed a randomized color palette and went to work. Ofc my boy because he’s one of the characters I draw the most currently

[bodacious-bombini]

Here are the last two panels that were missing a Creature! Hooray! It's Creature Time :) That first panel is weird cuz @harperspective hasn't given me a color trebuchet at this point, but don't worry! It's on its way!

Also... should I be tagging @moonlit-chaotic in these??? I mean, I already did tag him in the first releases of these panels, but like, it's not like his art disappeared, so yeah! I'm gunna keep taggin' ya, Tommy!

[moonlit-chaotic]

👀 from everything that I saw, I love the way this whole page came out

Dang you two for being good artists!!

So… Splatoon 3, eh?

I’m so excited for this game, and Harmony is probably one of my favorite character designs from the new game 👀

[moonlit-chaotic]

Bit of a vent, life has not been great lately

Featuring 🌙 and his little inky familiar 🎨! (Pronounced exactly how you think it would)

🌙 and 🎨 are from my good friend @bodacious-bombini ‘s comic. 🎨 will be making a cameo soonish, so check out their comic if you haven’t already

[bodacious-bombini]

This is the comic where I come out as a vampire. I WISH!!! CHRIST!!! WHY CAN'T VAMPIRES BE REAL AND ALSO ME??? Anyways, I was worried this comic wouldn't be readable, but then I realized I don't care! Y'all are stuck with whatever I make!! Muahaha!!! And how about that friggin lighting, right??? I'm impressed with myself, considering it's my first time ever messing with shadows and all that jazz.

I’ve seen a lot of people do lighting in really nice blocky spots like this and it inspired me to try! No references this time, but I’ll definitely use some next time I try this haha

Unnamed character that *was* going to be a character for a one shot, but those plans kinda fell through. Ah well, I’ll probably keep him around.

[bodacious-bombini]

So... my good friend @moonlit-chaotic raised the stakes on what we were doing for the comic. The Creature has stolen the gang's motivation, and I thought that our motivation would look simply like some cool abstraction, but no! Tom just HAD to make an adorable lil' guy for 🌙's motivation, and then he just HAD to make one for 🐝's motivation, too! (His doodle on the right, mine on the left, duh)

I suppose the questions remain, are these goobers just motivation? Are there more kinds of emotions and vibes that can take form? I dunno! We'll find out when it becomes relevant!

[moonlit-chaotic]

For those who are curious about that 🌙‘s looked like!

Obviously not finalized designs, but that’s the vibe I want to go with. Their bodies are made of some kind of glitchy, inky substance

[bodacious-bombini]

And here's the work I did for today!!!

Should I have put it off until the day before it's supposed to go live???

No!!!

Also, I can't upload it to Tumblr, so here's the link to Webtoon/Tapas!

You should check out this wonderful, amazing human being! I’m really proud of them and how far they’ve gotten in their art journey, it makes me really happy to see every single post 💜

3/6!

And here we are! 🌙 is introduced into the comic! The upcoming battle will be one for the ages. I've been struggling to get art happening for this comic, and I'm sure I'm going to struggle some more as I'm trying to get off of one of my many medications to save my liver, but I'm going to keep struggling to make business happen!

I miss playing as this kid so much lmao

Mainly an experimental piece, playing with brushes I don’t usually use and I’m still bad at shading, but I at least like how it came out
