So this year I did 4 attacks in total, which is the same as my last AF (in 2022). I don't even remember why I had this one year off :o Anywyas, I hope I can do way more next year! I do wish I've done more this month, but there were some problems preventing me from that, sooo yeah...
It was not on purpose, but I noticed that I drew 4 completely different species too, so that's cool! I was happy to draw somebody else's characters for a change, especially that they had such great designs :3
I also tried drawing a little bit of a background, changing my colour palette to be more lively, trying different shading and most importantly I moved from Paint Tool SAI to FireAlpaca, and honestly... I don't feel like switching anytime soon. The program is literally so easy to use and it feels similar to me to what I'm used to (I used SAI for literal years, I think since 2016 - before that I would use GIMP 2.6, and MS Paint way earlier of course). Actually, GIMP 2.6 seemed like such a great invention back then, lol. It took me a while to move to SAI, but I had a friend who did art there and my eyes have been opened sooo wide lol, it was even better! Never liked Photoshop or Corel shrug
But, basically FireAlpaca lets me draw with better pressure sensitivity and helps me to make smoother lines, so even though I had that in SAI, it never worked so well for me. Because of that, my line quality improved. So I think I'll stick with it for now.
In general, I kind of miss the days where getting art trades was easy and now unless it's Art Fight, it's not really commonplace. But I get it, we're adults now, busy and if there's no $$ involved it can feel like giving shit out for free when you could be making something. Sooo... feel free to comment about a trade, maybe we could do something! :3
i've been living at a friend's house for a while and things have been different for me. one of them is the internet... aaand my old laptop.
this laptop is something i originally wanted to throw away, but i'm glad i didn't! it was too much of a hassle to unbox my desktop (i've been moving a lot recently x_x and moving again veeery soon!), so good i have this as an option, since using my phone all the time is not my preferred thing (and i can draw on my laptop, yay! although i don't have my old files here, because i didn't back them to a cloud, which i usually do T_T)
so mostly on this laptop i've been drawing and i've been using the internet like the old times, because oh dang, it is soooo slooow (and sometimes it's not, but it's super random!).
so that kind of brough me into nostalgia zone of revisiting any artists i looked up to as a kid, finding (old and new) animal comics, watching youtube videos and anime in 360p lol (on my phone i can easily go full hd with phone data -- but the data doesn't work on this laptop for some reason), and the most important of all... learning PATIENCE (along with going super minimalist - just a few tabs open, and not hundreds). and because of that i found sheezy tbh! very happy about that, because the old deviantart isn't what it used to be. i've been missing a community feel, and this website has that for me so far!
anyway, here's to growing more as an artist and hopefully getting some artists friends along the way! 🎉
i want to keep things on my main page short and sweet, so here's a longer version for those interested in getting to know me a little bit more!
hi there! call me Mothy (an interesting fact about me is that almost nobody calls me by my real name). my 1st language is polish, english is 2nd. i'll be 27 in april, oop!
⚝ what do you like to draw?
animals, mostly. a lot of ferals. dragons. sometimes anthros, ponies or even humans! my usual colour palette is inspired by years of being into DrakeNieR and enjoying blueish tints. a lot of other artists inspire me too. they're more often than not, furry artists.
explicit art answer:
shibari and other forms of bondage are always exciting to draw. i won't turn down some fun tickling/tickle torture or ponyplay as well! both maws and paws are also a subject that appears in some of my art.
⚝ what are some other things you take interest in?
lowpoly models are always such a treat. i enjoy the psx era graphics a lot, so if i find a game like that, i'm well... game. speaking of games, i love platformers, point 'n clicks, jrpgs (some favs include the aforementioned Drakengard, NieR, as well as Danganronpa, Persona, Harvestella, Spyro, Crystar, and many, many others ♥️) anime is definitely right up my alley with all of that! (some examples of what i've enjoyed are Nichijou, Kuroshitsuji, Citrus, Owari no Seraph, Beastars)
i enjoy cooking to an extent, i know i can make some pretty fancy and tasty dishes if i put my mind to it. my favourite cousine is indian/vietnamese/japanese (in this exact order). tea is something that is a part of my daily routine. i also like to sit down and meditate, it's relaxing and sometimes quite interesting, especially if i pair it with a nice breathwork session before i begin. my favourite animals are cats and deer. they're so cute! and, dragons, of course.
