So, The Kitsune Death God I’ve Been Meaning To Draw Has Been Mostly Speedpainted In The Past 3 Hours.

I’ve been on a roll for the past day or so.

Anyway, have some gothic angel amputation as done by a demon.

This was a quick and dirty typographic design I had in mind years ago, except that it was one of those ideas that I couldn’t execute to my liking at the time.

After a few years and a bit of spare time, and I’m more or less OK with what I can do for the sake of this particular design.

Taking a break on comic making to work on a crime drama novel for NaNoWriMo feels strange, but there’s only so much I can do in a single day, so eh.

I’ll hopefully bang out this novel quickly and then get back to comic making..and I’ll probably make a book design this month as a result.

During the time that I’ve been overwhelmed with coursework and work to pay the bills, I forgot that I made this birb. It has been rescued from the annals of my hard drives after I decided to organize my files.

I’m almost done with some actual stuff I’ve decided to do over the holidays. I promise I won’t spam anyone with more terribly made typographic birbs. (I don’t even have any more terribly made typographic birbs.)

Dollar store goth makeup is simultaneously the best and worst. Fight me.

Trying to explain a particular nitpick I have with some typographic designs lead me to make this to illustrate what I’m talking about instead of trying to explain it in words.

Specifically, I really dislike it when people break up words like “Macchiato” into illegible crap that makes you pause for a bit, and then you’re stuck there for twice as long, trying to read what the fuck the word is. (Also, legit, I actually don’t like the Supercell logo that much, and it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.)

I may try to experiment with a similar square grid later on, but something more legible--because I do like how effective the economy of space is in things like this, I just hate it when it’s illegible as fuck, and I wouldn’t have made this if it weren’t for illustrative purposes.

I am pretty happy with the color scheme, though.

I came up with this a while ago while I was passively listening to a design professor that I’ve had in the past.

Specifically, it started out as a cell-phone doodle, because I have a tendency of pulling up a memo app and doodling whenever I’m upset for some reason. From there, I actually decided to make it in Illustrator, because I could.

I finally decided to finish it today. Also, considering that Age of Ultron is fresh in my memory by a week or so, and Bruce Banner is great, I went with Hulk-inspired colors.

Oh boo hoo! I didn't translate the list in the exact same order! I'm kinda mad about DuoLingo being picky about things! I know that it's probably some sort of weird function involving an <ol> tag somewhere, but it's like...why do I have to get penalized about "pen and pencil" as opposed to "pencil and pen"?

@freackthejester I’m sure he’d appreciate it, although I might want to do that sparingly.

I asked my partner about how he’d feel about drawings, and he basically mentioned that he would feel so bad if it took me longer than 30 minutes to do something like a stick figure...

...I told him that I could do a lot more than a stick figure with 30 minutes, give or take, and I decided to challenge myself to draw something in a 30-minute time frame right in front of him.

I ended up drawing a character of mine that I haven’t touched in a few years, because why the hell not...and he was quite baffled by my ability to sit down and churn this out, and was expecting something more like my weird 5-minute Milhouse doodle I did a while back.

Granted, this isn’t polished, but...yeah. It’s a pretty rewarding speedpaint.
