As an artist you deal with lots of things that’re annoying like inconsistency in your style (like me) & then suddenly out of nowhere you sneeze out a really freaking good face angle on the first try & while you’re celebrating the fact something this good so effortlessly came out of the churning of your wrist THE DREAD CREEPS IN THAT NEXT TIME IT WILL TAKE 5 BILLION TRIES & STILL NOT LOOK AS GOOD AS THE PREVIOUS FLUKE ??

And now that the recent AF uploads are out of the way just wanted to say sorry for being a bit quiet this week. I've honestly been miserable due to this ungodly heat. Our rent house isn't well insulated at all so I've been operating at bare minimum levels mixed with irritability due to constantly being hot, sticky, & uncomfortable. It's throwing my sensory issues for hellish loops. I hate summer. Loathe it. I can't wait for it to go away.

As a result, I decided to just allow myself to be a slow slimy slug for a few days & try to alleviate some of my misery by getting lost in working on Art Fight stuff. It helped a bit but it's time to get back to work on commissions!

Art Fight Attack for Meowdl

Their character is just so cute. A kitty dragon. I couldn't resist.

Okay last of the Pennywise stuff for tonight - just wanted to show a side by side comparison of progression. Redid the very first comic in the series to see how it would look in my style today.

This is one of those old art pieces where I criiiiinge hard hahaha

I toyed with the idea of redoing all the comics with fresh updates but it’ll take up too much time. They’ll just have to stay in their crappy old versions. C’est la vie.

Here is Pennywise’s human form. Just a random doodle page I did to make myself feel better after having a really, really stupid day.

He has sharp teefies.

Okay. So.

When I threw one of the panels of my Jenny & Penny webcomic in the sketch dump above I started looking through all the old strips I made (& cringing at the old art). Cue the ensuing flood of nostalgia-fueled dopamine & I had to draw them again. Here ya go.

I’ll revive the comic eventually & might redo all the old comics since my style evolved since then. Still haven’t decided.

It consisted of the (mis)adventures of Pennywise failing miserably at playing human & learning their ways (while also still eating them much to his human companion Jenny’s dismay). And no they are not a couple - she’s just showing him the ropes of the human world & he’s like her weird, eccentric (& naïve) friend that is also kinda like a pet that pops up from the sewer now & again. (And yes he’s walleyed)

Did my comic have a self insert? Yes. Is that cringy? Also yes. Do I care what people think of self inserts? No. Lol

A WIP folder dump along with a bunch of random sketches. Some pieces have lingered in there for faaaarrrr too long.

Just a window into what I work on when the feeling strikes in between commissions / downtime.

This helps remind me to be better about allowing time to make (or in this case finish) art for myself &/or random gifts for friends.

Speaking of my teen, have a recent art piece he drew!

So my teen had a friend come over after school & come to find out they’re a furry with a lil’ chibi-esc fox character. After an eruption of squee-ing upon them finding out I literally draw furries for a living they said eventually they wanna get a ref. So I sat down & whipped up a ref for them, trying to keep true to the chibi style. Cue more crazed squee-ing after seeing it & then I nearly got tackled by a crazed glomp. Glad I could make a lil’ furry’s day lol ?

Bike Titan’s coming for you
