AAM Inktober Day 12: Enigma

October 18, 2024

Really didn't like this prompt, it just didn't speak to me in any way, and because of that (plus school in general :p) I lose my streak/drive to do it everyday.

Once again, I started the drawing, hated it, but then returned to it later and it became o.k.

The Art Proposal | 2/3

December 1-30, 2022

This was supposed to be a themed trilogy, but I, like always, did not really have a theme in mind. I was kind of going for 'where art and technology/science meet' but it was really shoehorned. This was going to be a beautiful piece symbolizing medicine w elements of the staff of asclepius w the snake and her arm.

Making this was really, really annoying. I hadn't done a multi canvas piece since the cardinal (which was five years prior) so the idea was I go all out for this one (bad idea, never got finished). I did really like the style and the overall composition of the piece, but there's a 0.00001% chance I ever go back to this because of how big of a task it'd be.

First of all, making the wooden frame just to hold the canvases in the right position was terrible. I made the spacing smaller because I didn't want to lose details, but because it was so thin it broke 24/7. Don't even talk to me about the nailing/gluing process.... horrible.

Painting it was also a feat, because it took up so much space and I had to dance around the pieces constantly.

I got it to a place where it was finished enough, and then I was done with it.

(also I changed the position of the legs in the painting to make it more anatomically correct, but it ruined the silhouette)

The canvases still exist in my house, but the frame is long gone.

Pencil 2d

Walk cycles of one of my lil monster guys.

I remember hating this, but it's not half bad. Especially for being the first thing I'd ever animated.

July 28-29, 2024

Discovered a little hobby shop near where me and friends would go rock climbing, and made the mistake of falling for it. ngl bad decision because I just do not have the time to commit to it 😭

Anyways, I bought a light gray primer and primed a couple of my tyranids. The vision was for it to look like their skin is glowing underneath the scales. I did a pretty neat colour sketch of it on my phone, but translating it to the figure was the hard part. I am not made for painting minis, yall 😔✌️

Shouldve used a smaller brush than I did, but I was also just not patient enough methinks. Looking back at it now, the figure wasn't half bad, but I didn't like it back then so I painted over it 💀

I also just used my normal acrylic paints cause I am NOT paying for the expensive ass figurine paints or whtvr theyre called 😒😤

I'll redo this... eventually 🌚

Pride discord pfp challenge I did.

Just felt inspired in bio and sketched this guy up. Tried a different colouring and lineart brush (really that's the key to overcoming digital art block. you just switch brushes and suddenly it's a whole new fun experience)

Fun piece to make.

The Art Proposal | 3/3

January 2023

This was meant to be manufacturing meets biology/science. And kinda the whole planes were inspired by birds thing.

Really, was just losing my mind and needed to make some fuken thing for the assignment.

One Point Perspective Assignment

~April 2020

I remember having a really hard time with just about every aspect of this piece. Getting the proportions of the buildings down was terrible, as was designing them. And then painting it was just a trainwreck.

Inspired by Devil town by Cavetown iirc
