Happy birthday, @tartifondue!!  ^^

I tried my best with Okane, very cute design  :3


Thoughts:

Man I was struggling with this for so long, but I needed to finish it since Acinaces drew something for my birthday (to return the favor, and because Acinaces is an incredible artist). I think it came out a lot better than expected though, which is good because I tried very hard on it.

Sneasel -

Haven't drawn Shiver in quite a while (3 days off of a full year... yikes), but I had an old sketch lying around. I like it  : )


Thoughts:

Agh, backgrounds. I suck at 'em. I'm proud of the skateboard though. Overall, I still like how this drawing came out, Shiver looks so nice. I should've just used a screenshot for the background though...


I finally recorded another timelapse, yaaay! I really need to do that more. I got it edited by a friend instead of doing it myself, because I suck at editing. It's not much, most is just displaying what song is playing when it starts playing, but I like it.

Y'know, I think I've seen this "Verdash" design from Palworld somewhere before... but I can't quite put my finger on it.


Thoughts:

I saw some people posting about Palworld, more specifically that a lot of the Pal designs are... "inspired" by Pokémon. This one in particular definitely bears a resemblance to our favorite flaming bun, huh?

It's been pretty cold and snowy here, a lot more than the past few years at least. It feels kinda nice though.


Thoughts:

The idea in my head for this was a lot cooler looking, but I'm still glad with how it turned out. After I was done with Ash's line-art though, I thought about adding Ingot and Ember to the drawing as well and sketched up a matching Ingot, but I didn't like how he looked so I decided against it.

Meowscarada -

Originally I was just going to finish an old Meowscarada sketch, but I ended up drawing something entirely new instead. It looks so much better :)


Thoughts:

Man, I love how this drawing turned out. It feels good to be proud of your art. I don't typically like drawing claws, but I think I did pretty well on them here. They felt like they were necessary on Meowscarada.


Website exclusive content time! You get to see the silly sketch that I'm now never going to finish because I made this instead (below).

Image 1 is an older sketch, from September of last year. I decided to revisit it yesterday because it's one of a few sketches I still have lying around that I thought had potential as a full drawing. So I pulled it up and was gonna roll with it but then after a bit I thought "Hm... y'know this looks kinda bad and outdated. Maybe I could do better. I'll maybe redraw it with a few changes." then after a couple failed attempts, I drew image 2. I'm very proud of it :)
