Tessmontyart’s Owl City fanart masterpost
Hello! For those who don’t know me I have been on long quest to complete an artwork for every Owl City song*. I thought this list might be an easy way to keep track of everything! 😊
💖 Each track links to my corresponding artwork.
💖 The tracks with no links are songs I haven’t done artwork for yet.
💖 ‘(repeat)’ means a song that already exists on a previous album.
💖 ‘Song name 1, Song name 2′ means a song I’ve done more than one artwork for
Please let me know if I’ve missed any Owl City songs! (I’ll tackle his other projects like the scores and Sky Sailing later) I’ll update this list whenever I complete a new work :)

Hello my friends, I noticed this masterpost was a little out of date so I’ve now updated it! And plan to tackle 31 more Owl City artworks this year for inktober
:) After this years challenge I will have completed my goal of drawing every Owl City song that appears on an album! There will still be a lot on this list I might not end up doing like some covers and promotional songs … but it will be a feat nonetheless! ^_^

The Full Demo of Captains of the Sky was released on Reddit.
I genuinely started crying halfway through the song because I think we all miss Adam’s music that much.
The OP said that the promo CD that they bought contained 11 DEMOS of An Airplane Carried Me To Bed. The ‘Brielle’ and ‘I Live Alone’ are the same as what has been released online before so that’s 9 NEW DEMOS. Including a 3rd version of Sailboats. I’m not sure if ‘Take Me Somewhere Nice’ is on the CD as it is not listed on the CD itself or Discogs. It was replaced by ‘Flowers of the Field’
owls when they’re in the city idk i don’t listen to synth-pop
ah yes simpler times *plays Fireflies by Owl City*
[Transcript: a young woman with long blonde hair is speaking directly into the camera.
“I’m gonna tell you guys something that honestly changed my life for good. So if you’re in college, and live in a dorm or an apartment, there’s a good change that a lot of people living in your dorm or apartment have an Alexa. And if you go into the hallway and yell loud enough... I’ll just show you the rest.”
The girl is now standing in a dorm hallway. She yells at the top of her lungs:
“Alexa! Play Fireflies!”
There is a moment of quiet where several Alexas responding can be faintly heard. After a few seconds, Fireflies by Owl City begins to play loudly, followed a few seconds later by another starting up, then another, then another as the woman begins to walk down the hall, smiling and laughing, to a growing cacophony of Fireflies by Owl City.
End transcript.]

(100% real tweets, not fake!)
Btw HAPPY NEW YEAR HOOTS 🎉🌟
This song is incredibly underrated
fireflies by owl city. closest we've come to world peace
Dreams and Disasters time lapse 🎬 2.5 hours condensed to 1 min 26 💕 though the sketching would have been a few more hours. This is the only one I filmed from start to finish, I hope you enjoy 😊 (ps how cool is my new bendy ruler! 😁)
A flip-through of all the Owl City copic art I've done so far. I promise this is the last video! 😅
Music: Stars Appear by Adam Young
Process of my Captains and Cruise Ships artwork 🌊 This is actually the first vid I made, attempting to show all the steps I take 🎨
1. Draw the sketch on my ipad 2. Figure out colours 3. Refine the sketch 4. Draw the lineart 5. Print out the lineart 6. Turn on light board 7. Tape printed lineart onto lightboard, under a new page in your sketchbook 8. Line into the sketchbook with coloured copic multiliners 9. Colour with copic markers 10. Add details with white gel pen and posca pens 11. Done! ☺️
(This vid was recorded before my friend's wedding if you were wondering about the lack of pretty nails 😂)
(Music: Helium Balloon by Adam Young)
Shy Violet process video 💜 Using the Copic Airbrush System (see previous video for details) I learned about using contact to mask out areas from instagram user @pencil.butter, I had no idea that was a thing you could do 😮 the paper ripped slightly but oh well, better luck next time 😎
Galaxies process video 💕
Here's me using my new toy, the Copic Airbrush System! It's a little spray gun designed for copic markers, which you connect to a copic "air can".
It's super fun, though you have to wait a few minutes between each colour because the can gets icy cold quite quickly. (I've cut a lot out of this vid lol)
The air cans run out fairly quickly too, each can lasts about 2-3 artworks and are $30aud each at eckersly's.
There are higher end versions available where you can connect it to a different can which then connects to a compressor, which lasts much longer, but I couldn't find them anywhere in Australia 😅 Hope this was interesting!
Process of my Hospital Flowers art 🌷I thought I'd include a bit of the lining for those interested. First I sketch and finalize the lines on my iPad, print it out, then use a light pad to reline straight into my sketchbook with coloured copic multiliners, which is where this video starts 💕
