Ryxingeir's Jedi Sketchbook

Hey there, name's Ryxingeir Roo, or "WavemasterRyx" as I generally go by. I'm an artist with deep psychologial issues and a pegasus OC , it's a pleasure to meet you.

[ask-the-waves]

Hard to believe it's really been 12 years since i first drew Wavey... i don't know why, but i felt it was worth trying to draw something to "celebrate" for her...

[wavemasterryx]

Okay... if i ever do this it's not going to look like this... probably... but it was apparently the anniversary of Papers Please recently, so i thought it would be

[wavemasterryx]

hoondle I think it sounds like a neat idea, though!

Well thank you for saying so, i do appreciate that at least. Maybe if i ever scrape together enough motivation i'll give it a try anyways... maybe uvu...

[wavemasterryx]

Ah... you know... i actually do have an idea i'd want to use to restart Wavey's ask-blog... long story long... there was a "favorite yugioh cards by type" template someone was tossing around a few weeks ago... and i ended up redrawing the card art in order to fill it out... it was actually the most fun i'd had in months uvu...

i thought... Wavey can't really tell the future anymore, since she's just a plain [non-MLP associated] marshmallow pegasus now... but... she still likes collecting things... and if i was able to get people to submit various things like trading cards or poke/digimon or things like that it might be a little fun to build a little set of stock Wavey reactions and then redraw the official art to post her "rating" of them...

Of course... when i brought this idea up... the first and only reaction i got was someone confirming that indeed no one cares about my opinions... so... yeah... so much for that tiny shred of motivation...

[wavemasterryx]

Ah... you know... i really... really thought i might come back here... now that twitter seems to actually be on the brink of collapse... waste tumblr's server resources instead of one of the 5 other "next new best thing" everyone else is split on flocking to that aren't really any better...

... but i'm really struggling to feel like it matters at all... even back when i could "seriously" draw i was barely worth anyone's time... i can't anymore... i barely get time to do the terrible doodles i try to pass off as "art" now...

... so i'm really not sure what to do...

... for a whole 10 seconds i even considered trying to find a way to restart my ask-blog... as if...

[wavemasterryx]

Depression? Check. Bored and lonely? Check. Mermaid? Check.

Perfect time to post about my bad taste in things here uvu...

[wavemasterryx]

You know... i’ve never wanted children... i really don’t, and the ugly flesh-bag of me behind the cute ponysona is biologically male... so i couldn’t even if i wanted to...

... so why is it...

... why... when a tiny Wavey in my head announced this morning in the quietest, pained voice, “i’ll never be a mom...”... why did i have to spend nearly an hour struggling not to break down sobbing...

[wavemasterryx]

Ah, the two sides of being me, perfectly encapsulated by Valentine’s Day... depression and wishful-horny... had to leave the text i would have put on the second card off though, otherwise i would get b&...

Hope you all had a pleasant holiday though.

[wavemasterryx]

Ah... i wonder if i should start posting here again...

... should i start posting here again while i can ?...

i’m not sure... i’ve been drawing a lot.  if you can call it drawing.

[wavemasterryx]

Ah... it’s really a shame tumblr is pretending to imply that posting adult content is okay again, when they have not actually changed a single thing in their content policy...

Again though... i doubt anyone would actually want to see the “finished version(s)” of my picture of Wavey and her Vileplume even if i could post it... barely anyone wanted the plain version as it was... but i do quite often find myself missing the accepting audience i used to imagine i had here...

[wavemasterryx]

Ah, for the first time in forever i somehow managed to draw something in time for “a special occasion”... i’ve been trying to very slowly draw “every pokemon i like” from the very beginning of the pokedex... but Vileplume has always had a special place in my heart for how absolutely soft and cuddly it looks... so since today is Wavey’s “birthday” (9/12), i skipped ahead a few spots to draw the two precious flowers together <3

Well... i mostly finished it in time, i suppose... i was trying to do an alternate version also... but i don’t know a single person who would have actually wanted to see that if i had managed to finish it... so i ended up giving up on that since i ran out of time to work anyways...  i’m sure it would have been “cute” though.

[wavemasterryx]

Oh dear, the “game” collecting post dropped to 6 notes... guess that means now i have to delete one of the drawing posts i’d made because of it (partially joking).

Ah... probably the one everyone* was waiting for... because as much as i hate myself for all the problems i caused as part of the FoE / FoE:PH community, i still care deeply for the characters...

These were all drawn using the finger-painting on my kindle... 1 and 2 were done for a 2021 “Ponytober” event with the prompts “Best Pony” and “Favorite Ship”... i think... and the third was trying to do “something cute” for Boo’s birthday last month...

There seems to have been an undefined error with the original post that was unable to be corrected, necessitating its removal.  Please accept our apologies and 5 Anemone Crystals as compensation for lost time and likes.

Alright, saved the “best” for last... and that’s 7 as promised...  Take care and stay safe everyone, until next time, whenever that is.

i spent about 3 months working on and off trying to draw this...well... admittedly half that was trying to draw the ‘real’ version of this idea that no one would want to see even if i were allowed to post it (and i couldn’t finish it anyways, so it’s not an issue)... but i think this works okay for a salvage effort...

It’s actually something not many people know but... there are times when Wavey doesn’t want to be her typical childish, “cute” self... she does actually like to “feel pretty” sometimes...  i still have a quite vivid memory of the one time in role-playing with a friend of our ponies going to a shopping mall and how beyond incredulous they were that i had Wavey buy some hoof-polish (the equivalent for fingernail polish), heh...

Despite definitely not deserving to... Wavey (and i) still have a huge crush on Puppysmiles (who belongs to @askpuppysmiles) and H4x (who belongs to Retl)... so i wanted to draw them one more time... though i never asked permission to include them in my original idea... and honestly it’s okay if they said “no”, i’d understand... but... yeah...  i thought it would be nice to have them being happy and supportive of “a side of her that she has trouble accepting”... which is actually... not entirely different from the original idea after all...

So... there’s this art channel on youtube i used to watch a ton (but have slowly been getting back into) called “Drawfee”... and one episode they were drawing what they thought a Digimon should evolve into based on its name and previous evolution(s)... at some point one of the crew said something along the lines of “I feel like anyone could design a Digimon”, and when i said how terrible an idea that was in the comments i actually got some shockingly encouraging replies uvu... so i immediately started thinking about creating a new Digimon OC and then ended up with the shoddy basis for an entire season / OVA instead...

Long story short... my character is the little blue fishy, Puddlemon.  She was actually a human that got sent to the Digital World by some evil scientists, but discovers that she fits in much better there than she ever did as a human.  Well... it didn’t start out very well, but eventually being a Digimon grew on her.  She’s actually /not/ the lead character of the OVA though, which i’m sure would surprise very few people that know me, heh...

So also... Parrotmon is one of my top 5 favorite Digimon... so i really wanted my OC’s arrival in the Digital World to begin with one attempting to ruin her day, heh...  My initial idea was that she’d be saved by Ikkakumon and Elecmon, then be taken back to Primary Village... but then... if anyone remembers “asksirlintalot“?  i still follow their twitter, and pretend like we’re more friends than we probably are uvu... but they had posted a revised drawing of a Digimon OC they’d made as a kid and i thought it was a fun idea, so i wanted to try and draw some fanart of them... but in doing so also rather selfishly included them in the scene from my OVA...  i actually really tried super-hard for that second picture... and then i felt so bad about it that i never posted it anywhere except for showing Lintmod on their discord channel...

Ah... the text by their Digimon’s eye says...

Target Level: Perfect Survival Chance: 0.001%

doubleclickthepony "I have been, thanks!  I hope you've been well too.  I can see why you're proud of this one.  This pic is super cute!"

Thank you, Clicky, and i’m glad you’ve been doing alright.  i’ve had some almost okay days, but not many.

doubleclickthepony "She does seem cute, but I don't know her, so I don't have the connection to her that I do to your pony, Sips."

And thank you again... well... i can't blame you for that.  If having a connection to my pony is a good thing... i don’t know.

Had a lot of trouble deciding what to choose for this one... so... grumpy Zebstrika... ah... so since tumblr, i had a long run of using mspaint’s crayon tool and my mouse to draw, and doing a bit better with it... but then i have also been doing a lot of sketching using the simple photo editor to finger-paint on my kindle (which is what i used for the first pic) and... for not really being a drawing program... i’ve had some surprisingly not-terrible results with it...

[edit]: ... oh... i suppose i should say... second pic was something i did several months later... going back and inking over the finger-painting using my usual drawing program...
