Do it confidently wrong

Hello! This is my sideblog for my art and (maybe) writing!

[vanam0nde]

have you seen this old movie

[vanam0nde]

whatever burns, burns eternally

So take me in turns, internally

When I'm on fire, my body will be

forever yours, nocturnal me

[vanam0nde]

Where would I be if there were no songs to get inspired to? Anyway I've been destroying my ears with Tarot by Aether Realm and The Devil has me in a chokehold. Fun fact the Devil is actually all that hatching. I have no patience for this sort of thing.

No explanation for the words except I was listening to the beatles at the time

[vanam0nde]

I can't believe I didn't think of this song right away

The swing of death, devils tools. Until your last breath you know I'm in control. Don't care at all, ain't got no soul

Completely forgot to upload this here to feast the eyes of all 8 of my followers, and all the whole it took me long hours and sweat and tears of blood

Nevertheless quite happy with how it turned out :)

The thing when you're drawing everyday is that you never feel like doing any actual progress. Fortunately, you can always look back at your old artwork and decide that, yes, you actually learnt a few things. Behold, 2022 vs 2026:

Of course the journey is not yet over (it will never be), but I am starting to understand how epaulettes work, so here's that

"Maîtresse d’elle-même et de cette ruelle, elle bougeait comme une actrice de théâtre, tout en gestes exagérés et entendus. Les robes dépareillées qu’elle portait virevoltaient, pareilles à du tulle ou de la soie."

Hermeline put in colour! I feel like she should have a pointier face, but let's chalk it up on me not being quite good enough yet.

Her clothes are outrageously anachronistic, but since I described her as wearing a flurry of petticoats and skirts, 1830s were more apropriate than the 1810s.

Records shop date! If you manage to identiy everything in there, congrats, you're me.

I never tire of drawing this dude. Pointy. Long hair. Peak character design.

There's just something about a physical record (and prog rock) that can't be beaten

[vanam0nde]

I wanted to take it easy during the end of the year but alas I conditioned myself to work every morning so I draw characters lounging around instead

A bit early for Valentine's day, but hey.

[vanam0nde]

Stained Glass by Judas Priest has been playing in my head the entire time I was coloring this.

Women in armor are always the correct thing to draw.

[vanam0nde]

turned one of my practice drawings into a statement which I'll turn into a sticker (only trouble is I now have to design other stickers so as not to waste a whole sheet)

No I'm not translating it. Take a wild guess.

Striking a pose. (timelapse under the cut!)
