What do you mean my notifications only go back to October?? I forget this place exists for six months at a time but ALSO, the little messages in reblogs on my art fuel me

Backgrounds for Let Me Explain Studios’ Halloween episode.

Had a lot of fun with these and am pretty happy with the result. Not much variety in the concepts but we did have a pretty clear vision from the start!

Observational paintings not worth their own post. Since I didn’t crop these you can see what a mess they are as I work! These vary from Denver to Traverse City, with one in Cape Cod.

Here’s some details (aka how I tend to crop them to post):

Random gestures and observational stuff I found trying to back up my files. Including those attempts at a leopard that was honestly right in front of my face at the zoo…sometimes the best you can do is try.

The gang!

Recently played Wind Waker HD for the first time and was blown away seeing the textures in such high resolution…It’s amazing how much this game influenced my art even when I could barely make out the details on most of my playthroughs. I’ve been spending time making a real effort to understand the original art, there’s always more to learn. Still my absolute favorite game ever.

Some elk from Rocky Mountain National Park. These guys are always bigger than I expect, no matter how often I see them living out here. (Don’t worry, I stayed in the car.)

Don’t think I ever posted these studies from 2021. I had more time and less pain back then.

Some Stan Twins.

Love the end of Journal 3, aka where Ford repeatedly calls himself a dumb ass.

[ID: Gravity Falls fanart done in green colored pencil. In the first, Ford looks extremely upset as he bends forward, pressing his forehead into Stan’s back, and shouts, “I’m so sorry Stanley, I thought wrongly of you for so long. I was a fool!” Stan grins unconcernedly, “Heh, good mroning to you too.” Ford continues shouting, “A fool,” and Stan says, “You didn’t sleep, did you?”

In the second, Stan and Ford are shown post-canon, laughing and grinning helplessly. Their arms are around each other, and Ford is holding a cup and Stan a cigar. End ID]

Oh hey, thanks for adding a nice description.

Sons and Sonsabilty hit the main feed a while ago, so here’s my noodling on the Mothman Family. I tried sketching them first but when they’re all from the same family and era I quickly got lost in the weeds. Silhouettes worked much better for differentiating, to the point I never did return to sketching.

Studies from flying last February. Had plenty of time while the jet was de-iced. Studying life calms the brain.

Cleaning out my files, here’s some of the Sondads from very early in the dndads season two. Aside from the first episode they had not made any appearances yet, so I wasn’t even aware of Nick’s missing arm! It would be nice to revisit these now that we’ve had more time with their adult selves.

Miscellaneous Ace Attorney Investigations stuff. You know me, I find a thing I love and try to find a way to capture it. Great process for studying excellent character designs, so not much is different from canon images in a few of these. Very few “anime” styled characters capture my heart like those in Ace Attorney.

Background for the latest Let Me Explain Studios video. Prompt was “a Betty Boop style background”. I did a couple minutes of boards as well, I just had a lot of fun doing a simple, line free painting.

Alright I have no idea why that last post looks that way, the text absolutely refuses to look the way it does in editing and saving. I swear I’m not trying to spam my kofi link twelve times per sketch.
