anatomy is hard

An attempt at drawing stuff regularly, sharing art, references, and tutorials that I find helpful, participating in things like Inktober, and generally trying to dedicate more time and effort to art things. my attempt at also writing things: @retrospeccd-writes

Posted this on r/palia, twt, ig, but not here!

Anywho, I sketched Reth some time ago. Love him lots. Hardworking guy 💖

Idaho now has an official state dinosaur, and a friend jokingly called it a potatosaurus

obviously this required me to draw this glorious creature

Listen, I just really, really love @defiledheartsblog 's interactive fiction (and Marcus, ahem). That's it, that's the post.

Anyway, here's a lil sketchy of my Pictish gremlin Eithni in her full undisguised redheaded glory 🌟

nearly forgot I sketched this little piece of nostalgia when we went camping a few weeks ago.

I present to you, a hastily photographed sketch of one of my Nerevarines, Eliassen Indarys. He's really quite sweet, he just has the Dunmer typical RBF 😂

There's probably so much that doesn't make sense about how I've sketched these particular Roman robes, but we're gonna run with it anyway because trying to draw them makes me weep!

Anyway....a little sketchy sketch of my MC, Eithni, and Marcus from @defiledheartsblog 's addictive IF. I love me some Pictish and Roman history, throw romance in and I'm SOLD.

(questionable image quality courtesy of my phone camera, but click for better quality)

Portrait of my Marcus-romancing MC (gremlin), Eithni, from @defiledheartsblog 's incredible IF, after way too many hours spent in Artbreeder. Hobbies include: biting Marcus, accosting Marcus, dancing with Marcus, falling for Mar- ahem.... anyway...

Variations with her hair down and pulled back.

It only took me about 5 million years but heyyyy, I finally got around to finishing Aspen's @bodycountgame contestant page (template by @wayhavens)

~Did I deliberately pick songs that are outer space related? You bet your beans I did!~

[retrospeccd-scribbles]

Me: I'm definitely going to draw more!

Also me: *spends 500 hours on Artbreeder instead*

On that note, here's a thing I threw together for Dr. June Everleigh, my MC from the amazing IF by @bouncyballcitadel, because medical drama romance + super wonderful writing? Yes please?

She is romancing Victor, the smol to his tall. Has an unhealthy love for campy old horror/mystery TV shows. Is a chronic midnight snacker, favorite is eating Lucky Charms or Trix cereal dry right out of the box. All 5 feet of her is powered by terrible jokes and the honest desire to help people.

Body Count Contestant:

Aspen Albright - 26 - She/Her - Aspiring Astrophysicist

Feeling directionless after her physics degree and lofty dreams of being a (literal) rocket scientist didn't exactly pan out, landing her in the universally loathed office cubicle, Aspen reluctantly seized on the opportunity Body Count presented. A hopeless romantic and serial punmaker, it came as no surprise when Charlie had her head over heels before the filming even began. The problem? He's not a contestant. Queue the pining. When the reality show veers sharply into primetime murder-mystery territory, however, her priorities change from "try not to make it obvious you're in love with the producer" to "try to make it out alive".

pssst go play @bodycountgame the whole thing is *chef's kiss*

I don't know if anyone is curious, but as a person who always needs music in order to draw/write/etc. I figured I'd share the eclectic little group of songs I listened to while drawing Crown Hala. 🌞
