Got zapped with a lightning strike of inspiration to go and draw my old Dís design. I love seeing the improvement I've made since then. I find faces so much easier to draw consistently and i love the way i draw fabric now compared to then. And i found it way easier to make the braids look more natural to me. If i was designing her now, I'd probably do it differently, but I kind of still love the old one and i don't think i want to redo it rn.
[ID: a pencil drawing of a serious looking dwarf lady from a side view. She has a hooked nose, her beard is in a single braid and her long wavy hair is partially tied back in multiple braids with beads and a hair clasp. She has 3 ear piercings and a chunky necklace on. Her sleeveless outer shirt has a fur collar and geometric detailing on the edges, and is held closed with a leather belt tied around her waist. Her loose fitting sleeve is held up and in place with a geometrically decorated band above her elbow, showing a hairy forearm and cuff bracelet. /End ID]

Been super tired this chemo cycle but i drew a little bit today :)
[ID: Image 1 - A fineliner drawing of two moth people chilling on some mushrooms, drawn on a sketchbook page bordered with mushroom washi tape and bug washi tape. They both have four arms and two legs. The first moth is sitting on a small mushroom. They have curly fluff around their head and are wearing a cozy hoodie, cuffed jeans and combat boots. They are looking down at the second moth lounging under a bigger mushroom who is looking back up at them. They have messy fluff around their head and are wearing an oversized shirt over a t shirt, with ripped jeans and basketball shoes. They're holding a blade of grass in one hand.
Image 2 - a sketchbook page of fineliner drawings of hands in different poses. End ID]
They are not perfect but I like them and they're about the only thing I've done since monday other than sleep and watch youtube lol
Oh btw the mushroom washi tape is from Geeniejay on etsy, and the bug one is from DirtPigeon on etsy :)

More stuff made in hospital! This stuff I did last week while I was in the nice cancer ward for my chemo. Got the chance to do some painting in their cool common room type place. I haven't really used paint in a while. I'll probably use the first one as a bg for something at some point maybe. Idk i was just vibing.
[ID: Image 1 - A sketchbook page painted in thick acrylic paint with obvious brushstrokes in a kind of gradient from a yellowy green in the middle to a darker bluey green at the edges.
Image 2 - A page with two fineliner sketches of my sona from the waist up. They are humanoid with short fur, a cat-like face, little horns, long stripey pointed ears on the sides of their head, freckle-like spots on their face and shoulders, and short hair. They aren't wearing clothes. The first drawing is of them leaning forward, staring intensely straight ahead with a blank expression and wide, round eyes. They have bandage around their upper right arm. They have a yellow and green halo-like circle painted behind them, dripping yellow down, and their eyes are filled in the same yellow. The second is of them from behind, twisting to look over their shoulder. The background behind them is painted bright green, and their eyes are filled in the same colour.
Image 3 - a fire-breathing dragon painted in bright yellow and green, detailed in black fineliner. It's loose and sketchy with visible brushstrokes. End ID]

Silly little thing I made the other week when I was stuck in hospital while I was feeling up to making things. It's litterally just me complaining cuz I was feeling pretty fed up lol. I have been almost entirely in hospital for over a month now with a only few days off. Back home after round 2 of chemo though and hoping not to have a repeat of The Infection I made this about! lol
[ID: A series of images of a small handmade zine held together with washi tape.
Image 1 - The cover, titled "THE HOSPITAL" in big blue all caps. There's some bright pink lines shooting out for emphasis, and little doodles of plasters, pills and a syringe coloured in bright orange.
Image 2 - Page 1 and 2. "I have been in hospital for 5 1/2 days and it has thoroughly SUCKED. I only just got out from 2 1/2 weeks unplanned hospital time and was supposed to have to weeks mostly at home but nope!" In big yellow all caps is written "2 DAYS" with spikey emphasis lines. "I have been in a wonderful variety of pains, experienced many lovely symptoms, and have been bombarded with people and occurences." Written with hearts and pink flowers around it is "Thank You Neutropenia!" Followed by a doodle of a simple person giving a big thumbs up from a hospital bed with a smile and bags under their eyes.
Image 3 - Page 3 and 4. "I'm doing chemo for lymphoma, and the plan was to cut and dye my hair with my siblings like this" an arrow points to a drawing of a bright green mullet haircut with bright pink buzzed sides. There's a bright yellow zigzag shape around it. "Or this" another arrow points to a drawing of a longer bright green mullet with dark green roots. There's a bright yellow zigzag shape behind it. "asap BEFORE my hair started falling out, then when it did I'd buzz it, look like-"
Image 4 - Page 5 and 6. "-a mouldy potato for a bit, then be bald until it grows back after treatment." There's a doodle of a potato with green mould and a little smiley face, and one of a shiney orange egg with wide eyes. Then in big purple caps is written "BUT INFECTION STRUCK" "after my first pass at a haircut. I went to bed, ready to finish it the next day, then BAM! Hospitaled." The word bam has a green spikey shape around it and there's a doodle of an ambulance. "Didn't even get to wash it, so it's been GREASY until today. And now it's falling out." There's another doodle of a hand holding a clump of hair.
Image 5 - Page 7 and 8. "But that brings me to today. The other day, they switched me to a new antibiotic, and last night and today I've been feeling almost normal apart from some little side effects. I'm doing really well compared to how I was. They're saying I might get home tomorrow and I" in big yelloW all caps taking up the next page "REALLY FUCKING HOPE SO!" With lots of green zigzags.
Image 6 - Page 9 and 10. A doodle of a simple figure backed by shadow, with wide, blank, shadowed eyes hunched over the word "UPDATE" written in big purple caps with a shadow underneath. "I did escape. For long enough to have my dinner, then STRAIGHT back into hospital with a high temp. Not neutropenic this time though. Been in about a day 1/2. Hoping to go home later today." a pink squiggle between the pages, then yellow caps saying "UPDATE 2" "I AM HOME!! I have lit candles. I am chilling. I got mcdonalds on the way home :) There's stuff I need to do, but that's for later. Just gonna enjoy the peace while it lasts. AND THUS ENDS THE HOSPITAL ZINE!" There's a little doodle of a couple of green candles and one of a burger and fries.
Image 7 - The back cover. There's a little orange plaster doodle in the corner, and at the bottom it says "Made in Hospital* *mostly" End ID]

I have escaped from the hospital after my first round of chemo for my lymphoma! Very glad to be back in the peace and quiet of my own home, with my family and pets around me. But the cancer ward I'm being treated on is a really nice one for teens and young adults that has great support resources and also a common area for patients where they have a little kitchen area, craft area, tv and games. So it's not been too bad all things considered and I've still been able to do some creative stuff while being in hospital. Here's all the stuff I've drawn and made while in hospital! Despite some treatment side effects, I've overall been feeling better than I did before i went to hospital, so I've been feeling more creative again. So I might actually end up being more active here for a bit at least!
[ID: Image 1 - A sketchbook page of little fine liner doodles. At the top is written "Idk what to draw. Weird times." The doodles are as follows: A spikey cartoon explosion shape. A simple oval creature with four little stick legs, dot eyes, and a little curl on its head. Two little smiling rain frogs. Wheatley from portal squinting. A smiling furry wolf wearing a collar. My fursona sitting in a hospital bed, wearing a hospital gown and oxygen mask, hooked up to an IV drip, giving a thumbs up. My fursona has a round cat-like face with freckle-like spots, big long stripey ears sticking out the sides of their head, little horns and long hair with the sides short.
Image 2 - a sketchbook page with two pencil doodles of my fursona. In both drawings they are wearing a nose cannula and pyjamas with a fluffy hoodie. The first drawing is a bust with them looking up and to the side, and the second is of them reclining with their hands behind their head and legs crossed, eyes closed with a little smile, looking relaxed.
Image 3 - a sketchbook page with a drawing of my fursona. My fursona is drawn in green felt tip from the hips up without clothes, with raised eyebrows, wide blank round eyes and no mouth, posed as though startled. Over the whole page, centred around their face and chest is a spikey cartoon explosion shape drawn in bright green highlighter.
Image 4 - a sketchbook page with a drawing of a cartoon moth person. They have a round white face with big shiny eyes, pink blush, big yellow feather-like antenna, and lots of purple fluff around their neck like a mane. They have four arms and two legs and are wearing a chunky pink and purple cardigan with a patch on one elbow, a short yellow skirt and purple boots. Their wings are white with purple cloud-like shapes and yellow spots and stars. At the bottom of the page is pink washi tape with clouds and hearts, and at the side is purple washi tape with silver moon and stars.
Image 5 - A cast resin ghost and pair of skull earrings. The ghost is orange at the top and black at the bottom, with a little bit of green glitter visible in it. The skull earrings are toxic sludge green with bits of gold leaf in them.
Image 6 - A work in progress beige drawstring bag with a moth, a beetle and an isopod drawn on it in dark blue. It would be symmetrical if the isopod was mirrored on the other side. End ID]

doodled this ages and ages ago when I was tired and feeling kinda soft about life and connection. ngl, hits kinda different after just getting a cancer diagnosis (it's a curable lymphoma but man nothing like getting told you have cancer to put you in touch with your mortality and place in the world)
[ID: digital drawing comprised of brightly coloured overlayed sketches on a dark blue background. One is a tangle of red blood vessels, another is various green plants and lichens, and the other is two hands drawn in yellow reaching out to each other from the top and bottom of the page. Centered blue text at the top and bottom of the page reads "BE ALIVE WITH ME" /End ID]

some funny little headcrabs I drew ages ago. I think they are so silly :)
[ID: a digital drawing page of headcrabs being cute and silly. One has its claws under it, similar to a cat loaf, with a little heart drawn next to it. There’s another drawn from a straight on angle. Another is dangling by it’s claws from something not shown, wiggling its little feet around. There’s a baby headcrab sitting wiggling its claws, and another one posed to try and pounce. One of the headcrabs is lying down on its belly/mouth with all its limbs spread out, drooling and snoring. The last headcrab is jumping at something, but with googly eyes stuck to the front of it that wiggle as it does so. End ID]

Redraw time! Nearly a decade between these.
The first one is the first art I posted on the internet, as soon as my parents let me make a deviantart account. I was thirteen and used to draw this kind of thing a lot.
The second I drew last night at 2am because I wanted to make 13yr old me happy and also i got possessed by the sleepy art demon.
[ID: Image 1 - a coloured pencil drawing of an "anime style" girl taking a selfie with takanuva from bionicle. The girl has pale freckled skin, long brown hair in a low ponytail, and a slim green vest top. One arm holds up the camera, and the girl and takanuva each have one arm around the other's back. They're smiling with their eyes closed and the background is a sunny view of the sea and a beach with a sand castle. There's some sun glare in the corner of the picture, wispy clouds, and the sea has sparkles on it.
Image 2 - a digital drawing of a person taking a selfie with takanuva. The person has pale freckled skin, an underbite, long brown hair with growing out buzzed sides tied in a ponytail, and a black tshirt with the sleeves cut off. They have chipped black nails, an ear cuff and a couple bracelets including a rainbow one. They are grinning and are making a peace sign. Takanuva's eyes are making a happy expression and he is also making a peace sign (or perhaps failed bunny ears) behind the person. The background is a blue sky with wispy clouds and a beach. End ID]
My art has changed a lot, and I've grown so much, but some things have certainly stayed the same lol

found these that i never posted looking through my hlvrai folder
[ID: Image 1 - Gordon Freeman from hlvrai. He’s splattered in human and alien blood with messy hair in a ponytail and cracked glasses. He’s posed pointing his gun arm up to the right and looking away over his shoulder, with furrowed eyebrows and gritted teeth. He’s outlined with green resonance cascade lightning, and there’s a green spikey ‘bang’ shape behind the end of the gun.
Image 2 - Tommy Coolatta from hlvrai. He’s also splattered in human and alien blood and pointing a gun up to the right where alien blood is splattering back at him. He looks concerned. The background is yellow and orange spikey ‘bang’ shapes radiating from the gun. End ID]

I have so much bionicle in my brain rn and not a lot of art. Thankfully i have old + unfinished stuff like this :)
I wish I’d done more to it, but at least it exists
[ID: A sktchy, unfinished digital drawing of lewa from bionicle perched on a branch of a huge tree in a forest. Lewa is a green robot-looking humanoid with a matching green axe crouching, facing to the left of the image. There are some little buildings nestled in the branches of the tree off behind him, and vines hang from branches. The background is mostly filled in dark green of foliage with only a little bit of sky showing at the top. End ID]

man I drew this back when I was playing pla and then completely forgot about it. Don’t think I was too happy with it at the time, but I think I like it enough to post now.
[ID: A short comic featuring Ingo in Hisui. Text box: “Sometimes...” The first panel shows him talking but doesn’t show what he’s saying. The second is the same, but shows him looking to the right and asking a question, shown with a question mark. Text box: “I forget you’re not here” The third panel shows him looking at an empty space. There’s a dotted line around where a person should be. He looks confused with question marks above his head, and Lady Sneasler is on the other side of him, looking at him with concern. Text box: “which is strange considering” A panel of Ingo looking at Emmet who appears as a mirror image of himself apart from the colours, lack of wear and tear, his smile, and the fact his eyes aren’t visible. Text box: “I don’t even know who “you” are.” End ID]

found these pretty old bionicle sketches and figured i might as well post them. I really don’t draw much bionicle considering how much of my brain is permanently moulded into bionicle shaped pieces.
[ID: Image 1 - A sketch page titled BONKLE containing each of the toa mata. Tahu is shown from the knees up with his back to the viewer, looking over his shoulder holding his fire sword. Kopaka is shown with his sword and shield, holing his shield in front of him. There’s a little sketch of gali’s kaukau mask, then a sketch of Pohatu in a wide stance. Onua is crouched with his claws at the ready as prepared to attack. Gali is shown from the waist up with her hooks at the ready. In the corner is Lewa, crouched, holding his axe, partially obscured by the edge of the page.
Image 2 - An angular sketch of toa Kopaka in a wide stance with his sword and shield. End ID]

Tf2 soldier with his pet raccoons
Tumblr media
they associate him with sour cream :)
[ID: A few doodles of soldier from team fortress 2 with a bunch of raccoons. The first one is soldier smiling, holding out one of the raccoons, lifing it under the arms. The raccoon has blood all over its face, and soldier has blood all over his shoulder where his clothes are torn up, and scratches on his hands and face. There’s another raccoon peeking out from behind him, and one on his head. The second doodle is of soldier feeding sour cream to one of the raccoons with a spoon. Again, he is smiling and has scratches on his hands. The last doodle is soldier marching, shovel in hand, followed by three raccoons. End ID]

well this doodle page is kind of eclectic lol
[ID: a page full of digital doodles featuring myself, team fortress 2 characters and various pokemon. The big doodles are:
1) Myself dressed for halloween with the note “didn’t do much for halloween. just stuck some plastic horns on my face at home.” The person has pale skin, brown hair, a slight mustache and freckles. Their hair is long, buzzed at the sides and tied back half up half down. They have black horns and sharp teeth, and are wearing a green shirt tucked into black pants, a gold earring and necklace, brown bracelets and green and gold eye makeup.
2) My sona smiling, winking, sticking out their tongue and giving a thumbs up. They have a cat-like face with huge pointed ears on the sides, little pointy horns and a fluffy dog-like tail. They have long brown hair in the same style as mine, slight sideburns and white fur with light brown spots like freckles and striped ears. They are wearing a red hoodie and beige cargo pants.
3) Me again, smiling and doing peace signs. They are wearing ear cuffs, rings, studded belt and bracelets, a red flannel, black mesa logo t shirt, grey jeans and black combat boots.
4) Demoman from tf2 looking surprised, holding a beer bottle and wearing a red turtleneck.
5) Medic from tf2 with a huge grin covered in blood. Archimedes is next to him, also covered in blood. The note next to him says “he should be covered in blood all of the time. it is good for his health :)”
6) Medic tf2 with the burly beast cosmetic, shirt ripped open. Next to this is dr coomer from half-life but the ai is self aware saying “GORDON, TITTY HUGE BOOB FUCK”
