#parallelshore art

No spoilers, but Charlotte here is instrumental to the Madoka episode that made me fall in love with the show (although the animation studio's incredible use of texture also helped).

She ended up so shiny it kind of hurts to look at, but that's part of the charm.

The inspiration for this one was a cool pose I saw and, "Blue. Make her blue. Make everything blue."

How am I going to not do Deltarune fanart when Kris has the best poses?

This drawing is special to me. When I finally gained access to the internet as a child I stumbled into the shiny world of random anime drawings at the end of Quizilla quizzes and something clicked in me.

I wanted to draw like that. I wanted to make the cat girls and the angels crying blood and the demons wearing plaid skirts and safety pins.

By the time I could possibly approach that sacred task, my art style had naturally deviated into whatever the heck it is now. But, I still felt the longing...

Look. It's a drawing of Squidward I did in 2020. I love him.

Let's hit the beach and get some EYEce cream (I just googled to see if Monster High already did this pun and the one they went with was apparently ice scream, which would certainly have been easier to figure out how to spell).

(edit: had to fix the color balance because I forgot how inaccurate my tablet's reds are!)

Inspired by the color scheme--rich, dark blue against reddish orange has been on my mind. I was also pushing myself to incorporate the bug-lady covered in more bugs with the background elements (dang, I should have made the entire background more bugs).

There was a point at around hour eight where I started shading each moth individually, which...looked bad and tired my soul out almost immediately. I guess I'm also trying to work on not focusing way too hard on minor details!
