Vigil - He/they

Slowly learning to love art again :3

Hello!

II made this account after accepting a commission from a friend. I've been on Tumblr since 2018 and used to run a Sander Sides fanart blog.

Ended up making a new one to post newer art and personal art at times too.

Feel free to message me or leave an ask if there are questions or comments, I don't bite :3

Took a few months to get myself to finish it, but I finally got something down

And the flat :3

Finally found the energy to make a small doodle :3

The past and the future is defined by a boundary, but that boundary is only ever a thin line

Doodles up two oc’s that aren’t my usual go to ones for once

“In the Hands of Perception”

A style and hand study along with a piece from my AP Portfolio in high school.

Template for the metal keychain I posted earlier, forgot to add it to the post lolol

I don’t know how to caption this one, it’s just a metal key chain project back from 2020 :3

“A Room of a Lonely Blue”

A conceptual portrait from late 2020 in which I used every argument possible to get permission from my art teacher to not paint my own face.

A small gif I created back in early 2020 as a school assignment :3

More detailed commentary:

The task was to create a small pixel animation that was at least eight frames and was no more than 100 x 100 pixels. I ended up choosing the max resolution I could for this one and it was pure luck that everything fit in and was even, I remember not measuring or counting anything prior to drawing.

It was supposed to be a small practice one before the actual idea I had, I wanted to create a lil night sky with a supervillain oc of mine with it, but four hours later this ended up being the final copy and I submitted it.

I still look back to this one sometimes and while I wish that I had also moved the arms of the character a bit, for one of my first attempts at pixel animation I’d say it was pretty well done.

A small watercolour vignette of a room I painted ages ago and the initial planing sketch for it. Was a bit difficult working around not painting with acrylic with this one.

Commentary under read more to avoid making the post too long :3

The original date of creation for this one was about October 1st, 2020, though that was more the date I handed it in rather than the date I finished.

It was a small warm up assignment we were given in my high school art class before any large personal projects and was a bit different than anything I usually made at that point, especially with it being a watercolour.

I remember a critique during the sketch phase I got for this one was regarding the curtains looking weird, but as much as I tried I couldn’t remedy that in the final copy. It ended up being the only assignment that semester I didn’t get full marks for as a result.

Looking back, considering how much difficulty watercolour still gives me in the present day, I’d say this piece still holds up quite nicely :3
