i have no idea what to say to this,, sometimes digital art is fun, actually (don't look at the process video too closely, i was fighting for my life with the sketch hjdkshs)

nyways i used no references with this and i should know by now that that only serves to hinder my progress,, but i mean,,, this turned out pretty damn good despite of that !!! just don't zoom in on the hands or the kiss,, i was going with pure vibes only !!!

i hope it's clear that columbia's neck and ears are red bc she's blushing lolol (i was gonna go for a no make up, dressed down look,, hence the lack of hairstyling,, but in the end i couldn't resist the siren call of the blue eye shadow... and i hate drawing the pyjamas anyway bc of the collar and overabundance of stripes i would have to deal with)

magenta's hair turned out so great i might actually love drawing curly hair after all,, especially now that I've figured out somewhat how to do it digitally

also here's some sketching i did on paper beforehand !! i grayscaled it so that it'd be easier to use as a base, i like it better than with the colors i originally used !

the process video ends just a bit too early but it took like,, 20 minutes to encode and i ended up wanting to reshape magenta's hair just a teeeeny bit afterwards so you're not missing much

Transylvanian Hive Mind, I need your help! I'm working on a Columbia/Magenta playlist, and I need a song that evokes the feeling: I can't believe while we were hooking up you were slow roasting my bf at 425!

this is one of those arts I've drawn like,, over 5 versions already but this is undoubtedly the one I'm most happy with at the moment (I'll put another version at the very bottom of this post bc that one has a lot more nipple showing than this one)

here's the very first doodle i did a couple months ago, and then a sketch from a couple weeks ago,, i still like the energy of the first one,, but i really don't know how to draw a pose like that without it looking wildly unrealistic,,, maybe the next time i meet up with more than one friend I'll ask them to model for me so i can see what it'd actually look like and if it's even drawable

I'm thinking of maybe doing the next version in digital ? i want to add magenta's gown to this idea but i don't exactly love drawing sheer fabric traditionally

anyways

a magenta i painted with watercolor for once,, she ended up real glowy looking bc of the orange sketch,,, i like it :)

this columbia is from the old sketchbook,, i didn't really end up liking how magenta looked in the sketch so have this very cropped version bc i do think columbia is so cute here :P

and then there's this one which i did not like at all at first because the watercolor kinda ruined it for me,,, but now i can appreciate it

'vaikiita' indeed

puppy !!

the final drawing to fill my last sketchbook spread (hence the little crease in the middle)

i wanted to draw something w magenta and columbia but i didn't have a full idea,,, but then @muppet-hell did remind me of minecraft and i remembered i wanted to draw magenta with dogs ! but bc i can't draw real dogs I've been putting the whole thing of so !! that's why !! minecraft dog <3

full image which i don't love the poses as much bc i feel columbia is a bit awkward but hey it's okay, it's very cute (it's also very hard to photograph so that's why i prefer the cropped version)

GUESS WHO WENT TO BIRMINGHAM AND GOT THEIR ART SIGNED BY NELL CAMPBELL AND PATRICIA QUINN ???????

IT WAS ME I WENT THERE AND GOT MY ART SIGNED BY NELL CAMPBELL AND PATRICIA QUINN ‼️‼️‼️‼️

this one took soooooo much planning and sketching and trying out things because i wanted it to look absolutely perfect !!! and it does !!!!!! and i love it even more now with the signatures i think they are the perfect finishing touch !!!!!

some progress pictures and also the first scan

I'm never shutting up about this,, I'll frame it on my wall and stare at it every day <3

patricia was so impressed by just the first look and when i told her i painted it she was even more impressed and i thought I'd melt into the floor i was so overwhelmed uagh (she's so cool and funny i had a great time listening to the talks before the show <3)

((and she winked at me !!!! i can't even handle thinking about it gshsksksk)

and nelllll was just the greatest too she really loved my hair and complimented it twice !? first during the m&g and then she brought it up again on stage when we were there for the dress competition ??????? and she wanted a picture with just me n her i was so nervous i couldn't really follow her direction and i probably looked a fool,, but idc i think i had a good excuse lol

(she thought i was german ??? at first when i spoke which was funny hshsjsksk)

i had a couple prints of this prepared as gifts but i was sooooo nervous i forgot about the whole thing till i was already out the door which hurts just a little oof

behold, my struggle-comic for getting out of art block !! vampire magenta yayyyyy

no coloring, no cleaning up, no references (and it shows yikes) because i just felt like i could not be bothered !! to do that !!! because that's so !!!! much !!!!!! work !!!!!!!!

might have to put a cw on this,,, i would normally love to alt text but this time I've spent the whole day drawing and inking and then i spent over two hours fighting with my scanner and my google drive,,, so I'm all out of patience for that but i will try at some point later i think

my original script would have stretched this to about 16 pages,,, but i figured that would actually kill me so you guys get this slightly cut down,, slightly jilted version,,,, i haven't drawn a proper comic in yearsssss but this was actually so much fun even though i kept procrastinating alllll the time lol
