shoutout to @hugoweavingbaskets to inspiring me to do a little work on art stuff despite the horrible temperature and smoky air. didn't do a ton of work on this, but did more than what i would have done otherwise (none work left beef)

ART PACT!!!!!! i keep wanting to do more art and practice more, too. let's get better together (-':

(was trying to find an Inspirational People Leading Each Other Somewhere image but this was funnier)

ART PACT!!!! I love this!!! Okay here’s the first hurdle. How do we get the spoons to start this after work 😂

(The image is very mufasa scar long live the king core, it made me laugh)

[shiny-good-rock]

uhhhhhhhhhhh. good question uh oh lmao. i didn't think that far ahead

maybe uhhhhh. we can just lower our standards? i've found that very often when i say "well i'm just gonna do a warmup thing or a sketch" i end up just finishing it. so maybe we can start with a really small goal (5 minute sketch! 1 minute sketch! whatever you feel like!), and if you want to keep going, great! and if not, also fine! (-:

i am decompressing from work and have to so some chores, but will probably start Art Pact around 7-ish?

(RIGHT??? there were some good options but that one was just so silly (why are they in suits on rocks??) that i had to send it hahahaha)

honestly one of my favorite things about fanfic is when you can see the canon influences come out in really subtle ways. like a canon line thats mentioned once as a throwaway is suddenly the entire premise for a fic or it influences the characterization or something. its just so cool to see how people weave their ideas around a source material, especially if its not a detail i'd thought about before

[shiny-good-rock]

it is genuinely stunning how much of my job is just getting other people to do theirs correctly

the outdoor lights turned on because the wildfire smoke is so thick

i played a game as a kid called 3D Dinosaur, and i remember being very freaked out by the clip where the dinosaurs died after the meteor blotted out the sun with all the dust it threw into the atmosphere.

very cool to get to live a small version of that every summer now.

2023 art recap! Seen a few other artists doing this and thought I’d do it too.

When I started posting art here (probably a year and a half ago now) I didn’t really expect much from this account, and I am constantly blown away by all your support and enthusiasm. Thank you for sticking with me, for sharing my art, for enjoying it, and for all the comments and tags. It means the world and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I hope 2024 is kind to you all and you have a better year than the last one. Happy new year! <3

I don’t usually post my 3D stuff on here, but I’m really proud of this one so here you go!

For class we had to choose an existing concept art or game environment and recreate it as close as we could to the original. Being me, I chose something from Jedi Survivor (the Shattered Moon), because I love the environment work in that game (as well as everything else). It was a big project — by the time we finished I was having dreams about the thing — but I’m really happy with how it came together at the end!

Here are some extra photos of the props and the trim sheets:

And of course, the original artwork that I was referencing (made by Dave Miragliotta).

Returning from hibernation with some more Jedi Survivor drawings from last year, because at its peak the brainrot was intense (I say that like it ever went away)
