Hold up!

So I was continuing to work on my Wormmon sketch from early March and looked up Ken's crest for the background. First thing I learned was that the German translation I watched as a kid wasn't completely accurate since it went with friendliness when apparently is was meant to be kindness.

Then I looked at the crest and all I could see was a stylized Fluttershy. Can't unsee it. And X'D it's the crest of kindness of all things, that is so perfect, wtf.

Hazbin Hotel Test

Hazbin Hotel Test – Which Hazbin Hotel character are you?

Was going for a human face in the sketch, but it didn't turn out anywhere close to what I would have accepted, so I started messing around and kept adding stuff. I was SO close to deleting the sketch for obvious reasons, but then gave it a chance despite it all. So glad I did, given what evolved from it.

Do I have any idea what I'm doing at any point of drawing? CLEARLY NOT! X'D

And why does the mess look more and more like a koala to me the longer I look at it?

Didn't draw any bunnies specifically for Easter, but here's some lineart I drew in 2024.

Free to use for coloring, just link back to this post

(Might take a while until I color this myself)

15 years delay...

Once again I'm questioning the workings of my brain. I was showering and a spot on my back was itchy, so my brain went "parasites" which led to remembering "Parasprites" because it rhymed which led to putting together that "THAT'S why they were called that!!!"... 15 years after I've watched that MLP episode. OTL

Why now? Did my brain require those 15 additional years of using the English language online to figure that out?

And more importantly, what trivial thing will I be able to figure out 15 years from now if I keep going like this?

drawn in April 2023, finally scanned in January 2026

(left one being the scanned version, right ones being photos of the process thus the difference in color)

last drawing of 2025 and first drawing of 2026

Unsurprisingly both are quite purple-heavy. I'm actively trying leaning into other options each time I draw but if this ends up looking best, who am I to deny myself the most aesthetically pleasing result? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

from July 2023 (photo also taken at that time)

Took me so long to upload this that the original piece's colors have already faded a bit, so the pink in the ears is barely visible anymore and the purple has brightened enough that it doesn't eat up the lineart.

Unfortunately had to cut off part of the tail at the bottom or it wouldn't have fit.

Now for some process photos:

In 2025 I've done more traditional stuff than digital pieces once again. Did a bunch of pages (mostly just pencil sketches) in the first half of the year, then I blinked and another 6 months had passed.

Chronologically the bottom right one was the first and the top left one was the last.

The background for this was such a struggle. The arch on top took me at least two hours to figure out while the solution turned out to be frustratingly simply. I've had the side parts of the arch filled with a color from early on, so I tried to figure out the colors together with the circle one in the middle. I kept trying combinations of blue, green and purple and checked if switching the lines to silver instead of gold would fix it, but no. Whatever I tried would distract from the owl. Textures wouldn't help either. So I figured I should start looking at it without the clutter and go step by step. And as soon as I turned off the arch's filling color I realized "DAMMIT, that's IT!" OTL So I spent ages just to figure out the layer never should have existed in the first place. I keep learning and forgetting that less can be more. With the background I went through several gradients and textures with varies amounts of snow and decoration for also I think at least an hour. Then I saw someone in a checkered sweater... turns out the easiest pattern worked best.

Not a good punchline, brain...

Some stupid shit my brain pulled in early November:

I was having yet another "I overslept and I'm gonna be late" dream. As the dream progressed more and more different clocks showed up around me. All of them showed different times, so I wasn't sure anymore how late I was going to be or IF I was going to to be late to begin with.

Then I realized I do in fact not own that many clocks and that I was dreaming. So I woke up.

Or at least I thought so... I found myself on the ground on some pavement for no reason. Sure, okay. But then clocks kept popping up again and I figured out that I had merely switched to a different dream. I felt so betrayed about it.

So then I actually woke up. I looked at the clock. It showed me 4:20 ... I couldn't shake the feeling that my brain must have set that up. Not sure how, my inner clock couldn't possibly be that accurate, right? But I got kinda upset. I mean, all the setup and then THAT is the punchline? It's not even funny. OTL

sketched some harvest cats today

Are they harvesting crops or souls? Who's to say.

Originally from 2014, but I don't think I ever uploaded it here.

Her color scheme is right up my alley, so of course I drew her.

Why is that?

Is it really THAT common to like either cats OR dogs?

Just yesterday someone heard I like cats and instantly asked "You don't like dogs?" Wasn't the first time that happened to me.

Is it really that odd to like both? They aren't that different appearance-wise and each cat and dog has their own personality, so I don't think that's a factor either. So on the "I like this kind of animal" spectrum they shouldn't be so far apart, right?

If I said I liked cats and someone concluded I disliked slugs, that I'd understand. But dogs? Baffles me every time.
