Jacket i dont wear cuz the weather is never right (it's too cold to wear in winter but its too hot for the rest of the year cuz i get too hot really quickly 😭)

Anyway, this started as just,,,, random project cuz i need sth to do. I had a hoodie i never wore cuz i didn't like how it looked on me, so i cut it open to make it a jacket. Roughly added some diy bias tape (made from old jeans). Hand sewn and it was the first time i'd done sth like that and i don't look uo how to do stuff so i winged it lmaoo. Decided to go for a star theme, kinda, so i added the star elbow patches first, because i have an ungodly amount of buttons i made a star out of buttons?? And then made a bunch of patches. the front feels a bit empty but when i wear the jacket you dont actually see much anyway. Might add soda can tabs tho, or chains. Jester cat patch was very fun to make, absolutely lovely, also the Off patches <333 love that game ughhh. The fag patch is a tiny pocket cuz i made embroidered cigarettes cuz i thought it would be funny but then never had motivation to sew them in lm1oo. Embroidered star in the ace flag colours <3 and the back patches teehee, the clown one has a real pompom. Grifters bone patch cuz TMA brainrot, also eyes. And teetg. Arguably anything can be a tma reference if you look at it hard enough lmao. Tumblr logo cuz that was the first patch i made and i wanted to see if ly technique would be fine. Gender is a performance patch came to me in a dream Lol. I wanna make more will wood patches i just have to find the motivation hha. Anyway, this was fun to work on, it's really comfy to wear. Great stuff

Digital oil painting✨

I'm still figurong out how i want to paint digitally, also new brushes so i have to get used to those. I used the Perfect oils brushpack (it costs like 25€, sth like that), there's a lott of brushes it's a bit overwhelming haha. I think i used maybe 5? Different ones for this. I like how the hair turned out, not quite happy with the face tho, i think it could do with less smoothing out. I wanna go more painterly, basically.

I did listen to "Unexplainable" by Nemo on repeat while working on thsi and i did cry a lot, no i am not okay, thanks for asking lmao.

Notebooks/sketchbooks i made!! Ran out of cardstock to make paperbacks so i made 3 hardcover ones and used a coptic stitch bfsnbfns first time using that stitch and i actuallt really like how it turned out! And the one with fishes i don't remember how i made it i blacked out there lmaoo also it's not greattt but hey, it works so 💁🏻

I think, including the paperbacks, i ended up making like 10 A5 sized sketchbooks bgnsbcns i won't need to buy any for the foreseeable future lmao

Been making embroidered charms!! I have a shitton of felt in different colours so decided to put it to good use hihi

Also added the ones i've yet to work on, it's a strawberry, a tomato and a hot pepper :p i'm making those mostly to pass time, tho i'll probably also gift some to people cuz i don't need that many keychain charms lmao

[overcaffeinated-art]

Changed elijah's hair a bit, i just made it longer in the back vgbdbgnd also saw this pose on pinterest and had to draw myself and my oc hha. anyway, this was just a shitty sketch and then i added lineart messily, it's in my messy sketchbook so i did'nt put much effort into it.
