More art I enjoyed making (2022-2023 edition)

 Hey. it's 2023 now. 

pandemic "over" but still hustlin.

mostly been fanart

zine from 2022

Shego here to make a mess! This was for a friend's fanzine - the "Wicked x Lovely" Villainess zine! I really liked working on a more extensive piece like this and my friend and her mod friends really made the piece work well with the rest of the zine.

Some Samurai Rabbit fanart! This show (and Rise of the TMNT) really re-lit my passion for fanfic. I started this blog post in May 2023, but since then I've really made a lot of arts for this show. I will be sharing more artworks from the different ideas I've had for stories in this world. It's based on "Usagi Yojimbo", Stan Sakai's wonderful comic about Miyamoto Usagi, an Edo-period rabbit samurai, but the show is essentially a spin-off with a different take - about a descendant in the future. I made a whole side-blog for rambling about theories and other things, but basically, I became obsessed with this show for a time. I still like it a lot! Just more on my mind this past year. Take this fanart and look at these tiny cats I drew! I haven't drawn cats in a while now since 2023.

I had also started drawing on the phone much more in 2022. Still do, a bit less, but it's a nice way to jot down notes or quick ideas so they don't run too far. I often have a harder time re-creating a specific idea later, so it's good to do it in the moment.

I've also been getting back to my own characters. Re-visiting some older art. Oh, and I believe 2023 was my "anniversary" of art in many ways. May 2023 was actually the 18th year of making digital art and posting it online. Before 2005, I mostly drew MSPaint doodles onto floppydisks.

"I am drawing comics of my character today"

Marra, from Blood Oath, a story I started in 2017 and have been tinkering at since then.

"Arleem" or Arli as I like to call him in my head. Another character from this story. I'm not sure anymore I want to make it a comic, but it's been fun putting my characters in situations.

Now in 2023, I drew things on the phone way more than elsewhere. 

I guess that's it. thinking of posting here more, to make it easier to keep a timeline of sorts up. This helps keep the depression from deleting my memories too keenly. Hope y'all enjoyed these memories ;)

Resting to the sound of new work

 

Hey all! haven't posted here in a long while. I happened on this blog again while trying to show some old work to a friend and felt like maybe it would be nice to post here again.

What's been going on is that there have been a lot of life changes. Nothing less to expect from 7 years.

The above is a bit of work from a project I'm working on. Somewhere along the way I realized that I've always wanted to work in games in some capacity. Went to school for that and... came out the same as I ever was, I guess? To some degree, definitely feel more confident about certain things in general. But probably the most about my art. I don't feel that nagging sense of "I'm not doing enough" or "I hate my work." Not anymore. Or not so much at least. Having a lot on my plate has something to do with that, although I'd still like to continue comics work and concentrate on personal projects.... But that's for another time, I guess. 

For anyone dropping in now, from maybe some other time and space, the entire world is currently in the middle of a pandemic. Lives seem really different nowadays and this affects our whole worldview, our living and working conditions. I think I probably wouldn't be able to work as fast if I had to continue in an open-office type situation or having weekly meetings face-to-face. I miss the people, but at the same time. I feel a lot less of that slog from previous working conditions.

I'd like to think my life has changed for the better in general but to be honest, I guess it's just changed a lot is all! It's the 20th of August, the 29th birthday of Estonia and it's a completely different year again where I'm mulling over life-choices. This year I feel like I'm pretty okay with most of them and that's a big step up. I always feel like things are going too fast and that I'm too slow for everything else but I'm finally allowing myself to take breaks and rest more. Maybe that's all I ever needed.

3D modeling solo practice

We had some really good practice in our tuesday asset design workshop, so I was inspired to try making some of my characters on my own. again.

Been trying vectoring again. There's probably a more proper way to call working in inkscape or other vector software but who cares. Experimenting is still fun.
just some screenshots for now.

summer update(just text)

i was at a birthday party for a collective yesterday and got reaaallly cool drunk drawings out of it(i'm still amazed i got any drawings out of that, because lets be honest, drunk drawings have a very varied quality hahaha) but forgot to clean up and take the drawings, so that's it about that i guess :')
