ART UPDATE! 7/7 ◈4/14/25◈

Last one because I'm finally done and it's 4 in the morning... more to come soon!

How fitting. Also thankfully I fucking saved my art because I had a packing list on the back and forgot these new pages are thinner like a dumbass.

First time I've had an artbook and it's...... going okay... / There he is again!

Teehee.

Okay I'm going the fuck to sleep now and definitely not watching Samurai Jack instead, wait what? NOthinG-- Good night fellow night owls! See what I did there Splatoon fans? Heh.

Got a new pen a few days ago & decided to try inking with it. We got:

1. Failed attempt at making a shiny Irken

2. An oni 

3. IZ oc named Bubla

4. Underwater Irken called Murken 

I’ll make separate posts for Murken’s & Bubla later. No promises on when though.

“What’s up, babe? How’s your rabies?”

The top is my steel nib pen, which stupid effing pointy and I have yet to find a page I can use it on where it doesn’t drag fibers right out of the paper between the tip points.

The middle one is my glass pen, which I should really replace, because the tip broke. :-/

The bottom is a 10/0 spotter brush, which had the best line consistency but comes out overall thicker than I wanted to.

I’m going to see if I can dig up one off my proper flat-tipped calligraphy pens, brb

Testing the new pens I got at Staples yesterday (left) and the Faber-Castell ones Jon grabbed for me at a downtown art store today (right)

Most of the ones I got yesterday were not what I was looking for. I'll still make use of the Sharpie paint pens and the Tombow 01, 03 and 05, but what I really needed was replacements for my Faber-Castell black brush pen and 1.5. I gave the Tombow hard/soft points to Jon, I think they'll be better for his writing than for my drawing.

There weren't a lot of Faber-Castell pen sets that included the brush and 1.5 without also including a bunch of fine tips, which I am well-stocked on, so we got a set that had some gray brush pens so I can experiment with shading and stuff

I uh. Might be reopening donation doodles soon. Being an artist is expensive

Some pen tests for custom cards for the game There Is Something In The Woods. On top of an old list on the back of an envelope...

Also featuring a quick note of a quote from Monsters vs Aliens: “Have fun exploding!~”
