I FOUND MY OLD HOLLOW KNIGHT HALLOWEEN ART I MADE WITH A MOUSE IN GIMP!!!
(or more precisely, colored in gimp on top of these photos) These are priceless treasures to me. you have no idea. i remember we printed out the first one with hornet and bug knight and taped it to our door on halloween, loki and i cosplayed as those two that year. So, this is the end of Oldartober! I missed a few days, but I'm very happy I did this! I'm thinking of posting old art every weekend from now on, because i have almost 1500 pieces of art saved to my photos and i probably haven't posted even 1/5th of it anywhere. If you read this, feel free to let me know what old art you'd be most interested in seeing in the future :D Also, Happy Halloween Non-Australians!!

(Let me know if there's more content warning tags i should add to this!) Happy Halloween, Australians!! Heres the rest of the art i made for inktober last year! I love all of these but the Pumpkin-head gal is especially iconic to me, so much so that i actually drew them again february 2023
I love them so much

These were from an attempted Inktober that fell flat very fast due to school being a thing, but i love all 6 pieces i made for it so im posting them in batches. The other 3 are more horror-y and need a bunch of content warning tags so i'm posting them separately tomorrow! This is when i discovered how to use traditional lineart with digital coloring, which i also used in this piece (linked) which i'm very proud of!

(September 2022)
let me know if there's any other content warning tags i should add! I think this is the only time i've drawn these two, I mainly drew this because i found a cool blue pen i wanted to play around with, but they're a ghost and a zombie who are friends! The zombie wraps a scarf around her neck to pass as human so she can buy things for her and the ghost. I like thinking about what their story could be if i extended it. I think it'd have a mix of light hearted tone and darker themes. Maybe they'd work to solve their murders, maybe it'd just explore what their undeath is like for them. They'd fall in love i think. Also wow this photo is not good. That is a constant struggle of being a traditional artist trying to post my stuff online, I take photos with my phone and i am not very good at it, it is so hard to get good lighting that isn't too yellow and doesn't wash out the lines and doesn't cast the shadow of my phone across the paper!! And also i have to keep my phone still and focus so the lines aren't blurry

Old art of my oc, nell! She had a kinda different design back then.

More spooky art! iirc I painted the apple first and wanted to fill the rest of the page, so i drew this snow white like person around it

Some empires s1 lizzie! The photos aren't great but i don't feel like going through my sketchbooks to get better ones so they'll have to do. I drew these around the same time i drew these empires s2 lizzies, but never posted them since i kept meaning to finish coloring the sketches but then never got around to it

Some old double life pearl fanart!

Just some genshin impact fanart! I remember being really proud of these when i made them, I put a lot of work into rendering them and genshin characters are so detailed and hard to draw. Which was probably good for my growth as an artist, but it was also a pain, so it's nice being in fandom spaces now with much simpler character designs!

Another Minecraft OC, Piper! Uses she/her pronouns mainly, for now at least. If i work on her again on the future i'll probably find some neos to add She lives in a world covered in skulk, where ironically an ancient city has become one of the only safe places to live. So she makes a new home underground with a community of other survivors, trying to make the best of things and rebuild after having lost so much. I was going for a hopeful post-apocalyptic vibe :D Piper is really caring a mostly upbeat, but she's the kind of person who focuses on other people's needs above her own to the point of self destruction. I think at some point she got so busy clearing skulk out of the city without much rest that she got infected, which she then had to rest a lot to recover from She's close to another of my OCs, Dianthus (who i don't think i've posted here before). But they live in different dimensions so they can't see each other very often :(
Oldartober Day 16!

(July 2023)
This was supposed to be for day 15 and I'd basically finished the post, i just had to add the link, but I completely forgot to do that so it's day 16 instead!
My minecraft hardcore mode character, Haven! I love them so much but they're one of the characters who i have so much trouble figuring out what set of pronouns they'd use. I think haven uses any? but over time its gone between they/them, they/them + neos, he/they, they/he/she, any, and any except she so i'm not exactly sure any more. its been a while since ive worked on them or thought about their story so idk if ill ever get it settled
Oh yeah also i made this character reference sheet for art fight! and someone ended up drawing them which was really cool :D

My OCs Mint and Rose! (idk if ive posted them on this blog much before) I originally designed them for 3D modeling class, they change main colors but always have the other one's color in their eyes (they're girlfriends) I don't have much of a story for them and their designs aren't super solidified but I like drawing them :D

This is Rowan Calyx, one of my minecraft ocs! His design is kinda inconsistent here because i hadn't quite figured it out.
This is his house. just a regular survival world, with keep inventory turned on
Oldartober Day 11!

(September 2019) (February 2022)
a redraw i did! they both ended up having very different vibes i think I drew so so so much hollow knight fanart in 2019, and i often gave the bugs little mouths so they could express emotions better. not something i'd do today, but i understand past me's artistic choice and i can respect it also the collector isn't this big in the actual game anyways, so im taking some artistic liberties in both of them (for dramatic effect)
Oldartober Day 10!

(May 2022)
I did mermay one year! Everything was made with inks and colored pencils, but it was before i'd actually figured out how to best use colored pencils. I used a promptlist from instagram that i liked the look of and posted all the illustrations to my instagram (which is very dead nowadays. i only still have the app installed so loki can send me reels and stuff) I'd improved a lot by the end of it, but i often ended up missing/delaying days and i was being buried under homework while i did it Mermaids are one of my go-to subject matters for sketches, so its kinda strange i haven't really posted any here before.
Oldartober Day 9!

(January 2023)
I was watching a bunch of videos by LDshadowlady at the time, and i had the thought of using it as a limited color palettes, and then later i decided to do the same thing for Scott Smajor's transition screen when i watched a bunch of his videos. They're both pretty messy, i don't like working in digital much. But i think they're pretty fun ^^
Oldartober Day 7!

(drawn may 2023)
I've been engaging in some shenanigans, so I decided today I'd post some homestuck kids I never got around to posting. Just some little sketches but I thought it'd be appropriate :D
I did post the sketches of the trolls I drew around the same time, here's a link!!
Oldartober Day 6!

(Photo taken September 4, 2022) (but Im pretty sure i drew this July 2022)
Rambling under cut!
This may or may not be a surprise to people, but i like Genshin Impact a lot! Although it is very much not perfect and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. Or most people, at least not without a disclaimer
I was extremely into it for almost two years after it released but started to drift away from it August 2022 (when Loki and I discovered DSMP), and since then I'll occasionally get back into it for a couple weeks or a month before getting distracted again
Practicing drawing the very detailed characters was great for me artistically though, and i've drawn a lot of fanart for it! I have 115 images of fanart saved in my images, which is also about the same amount as i have for hollow knight.
Oh also, rare inked drawing! I don't like inking much, it feels very easy to mess up with them, and these days I tend more towards colored pencils as lines. But I've done some cool stuff with pens to, one of my favorites of which I'll be posting onc we get into Halloween week :3
Oldartober Day 5!

Sun and Moon Girlfriends!!
I remember when i started drawing this, it was going to be a ship i liked, but it ended up being original character designs instead. I had a lot of fun with the watercolors :D
Going forward I might not be going to be following any themes after all, since ive realized that making these posts can take more time and energy than i have left after school and im probably not going to be able to be the most consistent at it. although making a queue would help a lot with that, so i'm probably going to try to get around to making one over the weekend!
(idk I might change my mind again and do a theme for a later week? I'm not quite sure yet)
Oldartober Day 2!

(February 2023, Acrylic Paint)
I'm doing a fanart theme for this week (Oct 2 - Oct 8), and hollow knight specifically for today. I'm thinking about posting more art later today, because I have 100 pieces of hollow knight fanart to choose from, but for now I have very low energy so they'll either be in separate posts or added to this in a reblog chain ^^
Oldartober Day 1

(drawn 2018, graphite pencil and colored pencils on printer paper)
Story of this drawing below cut!
This is the first full illustration I did after being gifted a how-to-draw-anime book from my grandparents!
I did a bunch of practice sketches to follow the tutorials and stuff, but this is one of the first things I drew with them that I felt really really proud of!!
It's far from the first thing I've ever drawn, I'd used hundreds of pieces of paper up drawing as play before I drew this, but sometimes it kind of feels like it was in my head since it marked a turning point in my life, and the start of trying to "get good" at drawing.
Also here's the back of the paper! (edited to remove my IRL name, which was written in cursive)
I think my mom told me my drawing was really good and I could possibly sell it so I came up with a price tag for it based on how much work? But this drawing is basically priceless to me now so I'm not planning on selling it anytime soon!
