So I usually don't do fanart, but I just needed a bit of a break from a big 'ol project I was working on. So have some random Tokyo Ghoul fanart I guess, lol.

This drawing often made me ask multiple times; 'How are these fanartist specialists not dead!?', though. 🤣 Really, this is actually the first piece of serious fanart I've ever drawn, and nothing but DEEP respect for those artists. As someone with diagnosed social anxiety; I swear, that particular path as an artist is actually NOT for the anxious or the faint of heart. 😖

Also, here's some quick proof that it's human-made, because gen-AI bros are scammy jerks. 🤣 I think I'll start doing this on future posts on my original content as well in that context.

T'is me! Yup, literally me, yours truly, and how I tend to draw myself. And some basic stuff about me. 😄

So I'm a hobbyist character designer and a bit of a worldbuilder, so expect a lot of OC-related content of me. And as many OC-related tags as humanly possible, lol. Fair warning here; despite my best efforts to visually present my plus-sized self accurately in this, I somehow still ended up looking a tad skinnier than I actually am irl (so this partially misrepresents irl me a tiny bit, I guess 😅). And I actually tend to show some symptoms of the mental health stuff listed in the top box from time to time (both irl and online), lol.

Huzzah, we have a proper pinned post now! 🥳 I actually really wanted one of those proper intro posts, and never really did one of those 'about the artist' things before. Also, it's nothing short of a miracle that Tumblr didn't actually flag me as a bot for all of that reblogging to art communites I did here, lol. Okay, so first of all; thank you so much if you're still following me and my silly little doodles. I'm more or less kind of stuck at 10 followers, but if I ever go viral.... Then you 10 lucky ducks can actually say 'I was there BEFORE she sold out'. 🤣 I've got WAY more to do when it comes to the setup of this art profile, though. 😅 I'm mainly an OC artist, and I have over 35 OCs to sift through real quick. Long story short; some of those need to be retired, and most of those are actually going to need new art (RIP my drawing arm, lol)... And hey, I actually gotta introduce those fictional nerds to y'all before I start posting illustrations of them! 🤣 Also, I just want some posts to link to real quick whenever I'm asked who these fictional folks actually are, lol. Really, I checked my schedule on that; I'll likely actually be busy with character intros here until JUNE. 😵‍💫 And that's with nothing unexpected happening on that one (like unexpected delays), lol. So please bear with me for a bit as I spam y'all with my OCs. And since actual worldbuilding is going to be involved.... Let me just preface this incoming ONSLAUGHT of deepest OC lore with all of their worlds canonically sort of being in the same multiverse, just that they're all in their own little separate worlds. Either way, this blog is about to look a little like this. 🤣

So I was making this sona for myself in the first place to both have a bit of a pinned 'about the artist' post here and a bit of a quick 'about the artist' kind of thing for Bluesky. And I'm slowly starting to lowkey be more or less proud enough of this to actually pin it to this blog. So exactly this, I guess. 🤣

[melaniedoodles]

Two words; LINE. ART. 🤣

Just worked on drawing nothing but THE OUTSIDE OF A FACE for like half an hour straight, lol. I swear, the art part of Youtube and Dungeons and Dragons podcasts on my headphones in the background sure help to keep me sane during times like these. 🤣 Those creators are doing the lord's work out here. Also, thank the heavens for Krita's undo function and the transform tool actually existing as well, lol.

That image is a total mood

When you're trying to determine whether today is going to be a 'good art day' or a 'bad art day' by just doodling on a piece of scrap paper for a bit. 🤣

My drawing arm is still yet undecided on that one, lol.

[melaniedoodles]

So I somehow always end up doing the colour mask for most of my artwork in dark blue...

... and now I got THIS stupid-ass pop song from a one-song band from the mid-90's's stuck in my head. 🤣

🎵I'm blue, dabedee dabeedai...🎵 No joke, I was actually only 3 years old back when THIS hot mess originally came out, lol. Can you believe this was like a perfectly normal piece of media back then?

[melaniedoodles]

Because I can

So there kind of was this fun 'bad art' thread going over on the anti-AI subreddit; posted that one planner page and this bunny doodle there. But felt like Tumblr deserved to see the bun too. 🤣

I'm a grown woman, but been doodling these little buggers in the margins of notes and such ever since high school. They often have opinions on whatever is written, lol.
