New Tumblr

Hi hi. Okay, I made a new tumblr. It's @beepingsmokedetector In case anyone missed the other post, there is going to be art but it is not going to be comic book or superhero related stuff. If I do end up doing art on those subjects I'd still post it here.

Whatever you decide, welcome back! It’s good to see you pop up again

Aww, thank you, anon! I guess I will make another tumblr btw. I'll make a post with a link in case anyone wants to follow.

lol I earned a badge, I guess? Tumblr is a weird place.

Update

Hi hi, everyone. I know it's been a long time. I was actually typing up a message to @prince-infidel because of an ask they sent me, but I realized I should probably just make it a post. So I guess this is an update. Okay, short version: The end of 2022 and the entirety of 2023 was horrible for me. A lot happened, and 97% of it was not good. Now to get into a bit more specifics. While all of this crazy stuff was going on, a friend of mine really needed help with their company. They were just going through a ton, and I jumped on to help them while they were trying to figure that stuff out. Turns out that I was a good fit. So I've completely changed careers currently. Also, with all of this crazy shit going on, I stopped drawing entirely. That's a first for me. No matter what was going on, I always had my drawing as an outlet. It was very new for it to be gone. I actually only recently started drawing again, and when I say recently, I mean last week. I haven't even finished anything and my progress comes in very small doses. Baby steps I guess. Now the stuff you're actually probably interested in. Even though I haven't been drawing, I have been making art. - I've been putting crazy amounts of effort into making costumes. It's really fun and I've level grinded a lot with sewing and fabrics. I made an entire Victorian costume on my own. It was cool. - I weirdly started working on dolls? I have no idea why I started doing that. I hate dolls. - I started making weird... sculptures? I don't know how to describe them. It's basically recycling and turning materials into monstrosities for my own entertainment and to scare random people. - And I've delved more into my hobby of SFX makeup.

I have been being creative, it's just a bunch of stuff that no one cares about. It makes me happy and that's all there is to it really. Which brings me to the long version, because I have no idea how to continue this without going into details. I can only assume all of this answers anyone questions who might be curious. Time to get a bit more specific.

I don't know how to start this, so I guess I'll just say that my interests have completely moved. I think everything above should make that clear, but when I'm referring to interests, I mostly mean the things that inspire me. This is actually typical for me. I love fiction and am a fan of many, many things. I get really involved in a fandom for a while, get bored, then move on to one that is piquing my interest more. Eventually I come back and the cycle starts over. I always keep up with all of my interests simultaneously, it's just that one usually dominates the others. The thing is, comic books have completely lost my interest currently.

There's a lot of factors. I'm not going to repeat stuff that you've probably heard a thousand times from other people about the current state of the comic industry, comic writing, the movies, the video games blah blah blah whine whine whine. I think one of the big things though is that this last year has really changed me. I'm just a really different person now. I'm not that happy-go-lucky nerd I was before. I think my major concern is that I honestly think it would be fucked up if I continued to post here.

People started following me here because of my art and my posts. It would be fucked up to switch that around on them and just show back up as this different person with different art, different interests etc. I've thought about making an update on here a bunch of different times, but I never did because of stuff like that. However, in a way, it's been really nice. It's been nice to just do whatever stupid art project comes into my head, and to do it just for the sake of making something. I think dropping drawing all together (not by choice, mind you) turned out to be good for me. I think I got in tune with a creative side of myself that I'd lost a long time ago. It's been pretty neat.

I've thought about just leaving this tumblr to history. I honestly think that I should. It can be a weird time capsule of this specific fandom in this specific time period. I've thought about just making different social media accounts so that people who want to see any of my new, awful creations could if they wanted to. I don't know though. I'm just all up in the air all the time now lol

I get this isn't an "all questions answered" kinda post. Not that most people needed them, but I know that there are people who just liked my art in general and I knew they must be curious. So I hope I at least answered some stuff and gave some clarity.

Update - Instagram

Hi. I got a new phone and I have been completely blocked out of my Instagram account, with zero way to retrieve it. So, I guess it’s just a dead account now. To all the people who had commissions with me through Instagram, I have no way of contacting you. If you see this, you can email me (which is just my Instagram account at gmail.com) or on here. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but Instagram is the WORST SM app in then entire world, and I have no resolution for this. 

On another note: I have privated the Fear Toxin Batman piece. I know it was getting a lot of attention lately, but it is the #1 piece of art that is stolen and sold. I’m kind of sick of it tbh, so I just took it down.

Hello! It’s that time again, get ready for the Season 3 content to start creeping in! And to start things off, here is the character update for Edward! AND for once, he doesn’t look like he just wants to go to sleep. That lil confidence boost he got in Season 2 really made a change. 

Welp, here it is! The final piece of art for Season Two! I actually think I got Crane pretty damn close to what he looks like in my head, I’m just bad a overhead artificial lighting. I didn’t get Ed accurate at all, but who cares, I draw him the most during this whole project. 

I doodled both of these because I had an idea for the art pieces for the second half of Season 2, but then I ended up rejecting the idea and ended up drawing something different. So now I just have these doodles of Ed in the safe house, and Ed leaving the safe house, for no real reason other than for you to look at! 

I did this just for some color practice, since I suck at pastels. Perfect person to practice that with was Princess Serenity! I wasn't going to post this, but why the heck not. Not my best work, but it is at least progress!

Tada~! Here is my annual “Joker tries to ruin Christmas” piece. Hope ya’ll have a happy holiday season!

So, apparently I had a dream that my spouse got a 12 pack of Sprite because I just went looking for it and...

E.N.I. Season 2 art! This is the piece of art for this season that I think I did the best on. It turned out almost exactly how I wanted it to. Crane in an abandoned train station is just nightmare fuel. 

Hi! Here’s a surprise E.N.I. Oswald! I just really needed to doodle him out of nowhere, and I think I finally got his face right! Go me!

Here’s some jack-o-lantern patterns I doodled. Feel free to use them if you want, just make sure you credit me 

Happy Halloween for the year of 2021! For some reason I really needed to draw something cute this year, so here's a cute witch casting some spells to trick some unfortunate trick-or-treaters!

🎃🎃

i've been following you for a while, and you just showed up on my dashboard again, and can i just say that you have the (imo) ultimate art style? like i've been trying to achieve a style like yours for ages, and looking at your art again really inspires me lol

anyways have a good day!

Ahhh, thank you so so much! Not only for the kind words, but it's super great to hear that my work can inspire you to keep drawing! That's one of the greatest things an artist can hear! You also have a great day, buddy!
