So...I don't really remember when I was on here last time but...yeah. My fulltime work kept me quite busy and the fact that I also play several gacha games and also work on a little Stardew Valley mod is uh.....I've been occupied. Yeah.
I haven't drawn that much but I might post the few things I've been drawing(it's mostly fanart, I think).
I see nothingg has changed since the last time so I can continue where I left off lol. My apologies in case I happen to disappear again at some point, the most likely place you can reach me is via discord(I am in the sheezy discord).
Ah, long time no see. It's been a good while since I've been here. There are a few things IRL that kept me from really having any motivation or energy to do much...
For one I lost my job. The store I worked at was closed down so we were all fired. Could've really been handled better but it is what it is. I have another job offer but that's in a few month so I'm not sure what I gonna do until then.
Art fight is coming and I will participate though while I originally wanted to take my jobless time to be pretty active with art fight I have to scratch that as I am mourning right now...I am honestly not sure where even my thoughts currently are. It all still feels surreal and hard to grasp...
I am no person who likes to talk about these kind of things too much so I'll leave it at those few words. Time will hopefully heal most wounds and there's nothing to do but trying to continue and march on in life.
I take the time and give you a link to my art fight profile in case you're participating as well, I am team Stardust: click
Another thing I want to talk about is my ko-fi. I occassionally do commissions and stuff, so if you're interested in that you may want to take a look.
Hm, what else to say...oh! I recently got into playing Wuthering Waves. I've kinda got a burn-out from Genshin Impact and Honkai Starrail so WuWa was a welcoming alternative. Especially to get my mind off of things. I do enjoy the story quite a lot so far even when the Localization is a bit...troubled still. Funny wrongly translated bits or straight-up coding snippets still in the text mostly.
As the law of hyperfixation dictates(/jK) I already latched onto a character and it's of course the dragon nerd with anger issues, heh.
Art programs you have but don't use
Photoshop. Just too heavy and clunky for me.
Is it easier to draw someone facing left or right (or forward even)
forward is easiest. Other two are equally meh.
What ideas come from when you were little
My brain is a locker stuffed full of loose paper. I wouldn't know...
Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
TZhis would turn into a way too long of a list...Anything with intricate designs and pattern is a bitch to draw. I used to find drawing Wriothesley hard but I drew him so often by now that it turned easy..
Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
I barely post anything online nowadays...
Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (e.g. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
Subconciously I'm not sure...there's a lot of things that influence me but it's usually things I take an interest in.
A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
Sculpturing wood or stone, porcellain painting, print media....kinda wanna dabble in those but I don'*t really got time nor ressources.
What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
Too many to list lol I have no real attention span and have an extreme fluctuation between hyperfocusing on things and completely loosing interest way too often.
What are your file name conventions?
Ranges from deeper meanings over to standard stuff and end with keysmashes.
Favorite piece of clothing to draw
Long drape-y things.
Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
Most times I just have a random youtube video running in the background for some noise. Nothing really specific.
Easiest part of body to draw
The eye.
A creator who you admire but whose work isn't your thing
I admire quite a few people but usually I do enjoy their art as well, hm...not sure.
Any favorite motifs
Oh boy...stars, sun and moons, flowers, black/white, Black/red, the void, desolation....
Where do you draw (don't drop your ip address this just means do you doodle at a park or smth)
At my desk, usually on my computer.
Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing
Answering that question would mean I could even say what I am good at.
Do you eat/drink when drawing? if so, what
Sometimes. Usually I drink coke and have some chocolate or chips while drawing.
Favorite inanimate objects to draw (food, nature, etc.)
Flowers, uhh...I do like to pixelate food sprites...
Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
Flowers :B I do find them hard to draw too but I still like to draw em. Also, I guess. Stardeew Valley Portraits.
Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways
I really enjoy those messy painterly styles, lineless art...
Do you use different layer modes
Depends on what I draw, but yes. Multiply, Overlay, Linear Dodge, Hard Light....
Do your references include stock images
Not really...
Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
Uhh...I don't remember any situation of the top of my hat...
What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
No thought, head empty. People rarely share their interpretation with me. I'd like some tho. I'm curious to see what others think about my art.
Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with
I do not warm up. Never have.
Any art events you have participated in the past (like zines)
No. I am a reclusive, shy individual.
Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
HAH. Good one.
What piece of yours do you think is underrated
I don't know. I don't get that many attention so it's hard to say lol. There are a few pieces I poured a lot of work into that don't seem to get as much attentiuon of some silly thing I did as a joke.
If anyone wants to make a gnomesona for the pinboard on my site they're free to do so! Just link me your gnomesona here in the comments and I will add them! :3c
You heard right, yours truly is a bonafide joke™ so remember y'all, whenever someone tells you that you're a joke that's not true cuz only those born on April 1st are. Well, anyway, another year in this mortal shell and the curse is as strong as ever to walk the earth as a fragile little thing. Cheers!!
I will probably not do much on my actual birthday since everything is closed because of Easter, how lame! Maybe I'll just tidy up my place and work on updating my SDV mods, who knows.
Sure as hell going to sleep in, that I know for sure, haha!
