Shout out to my homies on artfight who are also staring at all the characters they planned on attacking while their executive dysfunction beats them with a hammer

Fish have personalities and this is Important to me

Unstoppable force (my desire to talk to people about my ocs) vs immovable object (my lack of time and motivation to draw things that make people interested in my ocs)

Character who is doomed by the narrative, but their cringefail demeanor and pathetic airs have elicited the aggressive support of all they meet in pursuit of their goal to spite the narrative by surviving

Realized this morning I haven't drawn my cat and had to remedy that Immediately, anyways this is my baby Emma :D she's a bastard and a criminal and I'd bury God in a shallow grave if anything happened to her <3<3<3

>:3

Character design is fun I say as I chew through the electrical wiring of my house

System Musings for ya

These aren't my hands

These aren't my eyes

This form remains

Unrecognized

By every voice

That lives inside

All chorus forth,

To my fellow artists with burnout, if you're like me and sometimes desperately want to Draw but don't have the spoons to think through the process of drawing, I highly recommend just gathering a bunch of photo refs and sketching over them to break down poses/foreshortening/expressions/etc. A lot of my work is reference heavy so this is also a Very Helpful habit to build up because it helps improve your skills with breaking down references photos in ways that allows you to study the aspects you want to emulate in your art.

I'm so incredibly skilled at bringing myself to tears over characters who less than 10 people are aware of

Hi! I saw your reblog of the “Never Found” post with the rabbit sign, found your blog from that, and I think I’m in love with your art style now. What program do you use to draw/what brushes do you use? Your art feels like a crunchy summertime snack and I love it

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like my art so much akfhakfhs!

I currently use Clip Studio Paint for all of my still illustrations, though I've also used Krita for animation (though I haven't had the time to do so for a while akfhs)! As for the brushes I use, a lot of my favorite pens are ones I downloaded off of Clip Studio's asset library! Recently I've been using this set of textured ink pens and this pencil for a lot of my rough sketching, and this other textured ink pen for lineart!! In the past I've also found a lot of use from this cream pencil brush, and the default gouache brush that comes with the program! I started out as a traditional artist, so I tend to gravitate towards brushes that help capture the more textured feel of physical media and let me get a lot of variety with my line weight. I'm glad you enjoy my work, and thank you so much for the ask!!!

I love them so much akfhskfhejf

I'm glad I'm getting better at recognizing my limits but damn if it isn't frustrating to find out those limits are one task a day*
