☆Moved to @orangeboxsblog because I didn't realize this was a secondary account fUCK

EXTENDING MY COMMISSIONS! And my TOS have loosened up a bit!

Hey, do you want a custom neat Holiday phone wallpaper for yourself, or to surprise a friend by getting a commission of their oc done? Well if you like expressive, cartoony art styles, you're in luck! I don't even charge based on whether it's a headshot, bust or full-body >:)

The money I receive is gonna mainly be going to either my college fund or towards art courses I can take in order to build up my portfolio. I'm really not happy with the way my life is right now and I'm trying my hardest to change it; going to a school like SVA like I've always wanted seems like a good way to fix that and any help would be appreciated!

Anyway, that's @orangeboxcomms on CashApp and PayPal! I'm happy to draw just about anything you want, especially since I no longer do collab oc projects like you've seen here before; I'd love to spend some time drawing whatever for you guys since it'll give me some direction on where to take my art from there!

Realized this account is a secondary and not primary. So I made the primary into this^

I still consider this one to be my main but yeah I'm behind this one as well, it's not an imposter dw

M & M! ....+ a baby!

I entered a DTIYS on IG hosted by user @not_the_beeeeees! It did well on there and I think Tumblr likes Helluva Boss as much as I do so hey, here's this!

ALSO, yes that is a fankid (Billie) made by the artist who held the DTIYS. They haven't announced a winner yet but I hope I can get up there and if not, hey, go check their art out anyway! They pump out lots of content and I'm super jealous of their skills / fast work lol.

AYO-- MEET THE ARTIST?? 👀

DID YA MISS ME? ...No? Too bad, I'm back anyway. With a new persona design and PFP may I add!

A lot happened in October and I've had falling outs with both of my creative partners for ocs and stuff, so I'm riding solo from now on! And if that's the case, then a fresh start is needed. Therefore: new me! Literally. Lmao.

Anyway, my main priority from now on is gonna be getting the HELL away from people who make me feel trapped or smothered and to focus on doing what I need to do to just... start my life over. Do I have ANY means of doing that right now whatsoever? NOPE AND THAT SUCKS BUT I'MMA TRY TO FIND THEM LETS GO--

[orange-box]

So I got a new phone and got locked out of this account...

I'm back tho

Hi 👀

Peachtober Days 9 and 10: Thunder and Frog!

Mason Brantingham (aka the frog king) is this little smol here, we like to imagine that he's the future son of Mei and Asher from Day One of this challenge!

🐸 He's back at it again. Searching for frogs and tadpoles. He hasn't found anything yet and the rain is getting really strong, but he doesn't mind :]

...I bet his parents are about three seconds from scooping him up and taking him home though--

Peachtober Day 8: Crown.

"You should see me in a crown..."

Sorry that the posts have been lackluster lately!! Tomorrow you'll see the reason why ;)

[faffreux]

Was talking to friends recently about the kinds of dark animated movies I grew up with and how they somehow didn’t horrify me at all as a child

Examples: Watership Down, When the Wind Blows, Felidae, The Secret of NIMH, The Black Cauldron, and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland just to name a few

I was also so obsessed with Disney’s Pinocchio as a toddler I’d watch the tape and then rewind it and then watch it and then rewind it again and literally sit there for 8 hours watching it over and over. But the Donkey boy scene was enough to give some of my friends nightmares apparently lmao

[orange-box]

LMAO same!!

I was a weirder case? Like I was more sensitive kinda, but at the same time if I already had my focus on one thing, I did NOT care what was going on around me. Pink Elephants On Parade? Didn't scare me, too busy jamming to the song. Seeing Chucky the murder-doll stab someone on my mom's tv while I played Animal Jam? I couldn't care less, legit watched it happen and just turned back to my game. But the time a Sim died at a party in Sims 3 while I was playing it at age 7 or so? TRAUMA. TRAUMA FOR LIKE A WHOLE THREE DAYS LMAO.

I've also had an insanely irrational fear of bees since forever and was too scared to ever play the DVD of The Bee Movie my dad got for me when it came out. Honestly, good though, because I think kids would be scared of that movie based on Barry and Vanessa's relationship alone.

None of the pieces I wanted to throw together today worked out. So here's my favorite out of all of my attempts for Day 7! I always wanted to be in a tree house :)

Peachtober Day 6: Fall. Shuichi falling out of a locker to be more specific!

Today's gonna be a busy day and I have a job interview, don't have the time to turn this into a full-fledged painting with detail and everything like I want, so take this colored sketch / preview in the meantime! This is where we're at right now.

I'll definitely come back to finish it on my own time, I really like how it's turning out so far! ...Oh also don't spoil anything in the comments.

NOW RISES THE MUSTARD OF YOUR DOOM!!

Peachtober Day 5: Rise! The RISE of Fawful!

I had no idea what I was doing with this piece lmao. There was no end goal, but I like the result?? I'm especially in love with the fluffy brush I just discovered on firealpaca.

Part of me was like, wanting to do a black and white thing and make it look like a kids' drawing in a notebook because Bowser's Inside Story was my first drawing. Another part of me wanted to do a silhouette? And then the last part wanted to experiment with limited color palettes, composition and emphasis. Que a clusterfuck of all these things.

Anyway, look!! Fawful!! One of the coolest villains ever!! Yeah!!

[orange-box]

"I get the feeling just because, everything I touch isn't dark enough. If this problem lies in me..."

Peachtober Day 4: Hand. In this case, a bloody hand! How did Fin blood on him? I don't know. Maybe he hurt somebody. Maybe somebody hit him in the face. Maybe it's just your typical nosebleed!

Anyway, I'm EXTREMELY proud of this one. Legitimately think I improved my art with it. I've never done a perspective like this before, let alone use a gradient for lineart. It seriously helped with the edgy emo vibe of the piece.

Also IG is currently broken so congrats tumblr, you guys get the piece first!

Matthew doesn't have nice dreams very often. He may as well savor it when he can.

Peachtober Day 3: Cloud! [YES I KNOW I'M LATE ON TUMBLR, IT WENT UP ON-TIME FOR INSTAGRAM THOUGH.]

I was gonna post this at 7pm yesterday, but I kinda... forgot. I'm very proud of the color work and soft feel on this one, but the fact that it's got similar composition to yesterday's bothers me. Also, first Paperboy piece of this month's challenge!

[orange-box]

He's singing K.K. Bossa

Day 2 of Peachtober! Smoke~🚬

This time I touched up an old Garcello sketch into a whole doodle and played around with reds and greens.

[orange-box]

Girls should give boys flowers more often...

Drew @__tktktk__'s [on insta] OC Asher and his gf / my oc Mei! Giving people flowers is nice :]

Also hell yeah its peachtober!!

Can't please everybody...

Behold, one of the things that annoys me the most about being an artist: people who try to tell you what to draw when you are not explicitly creating for them.

Casual reminder that just because somebody's art has aspects that you don't enjoy, they are NOT obligated to change it just for you unless they are specifically making it *for* you. Or if it contains genuinely harmful content, like something triggering or racist. That's not art criticism or feedback at that point, that's just... dumb?? You can always NOT look at my page, yknow.

Anyway the name and face of this person bugging me about this has been hidden for the sake of both our sanities.
