Art stuff

I used to like drawing a ton when I was a kid, whether it was DBZ or Zelda or some of my favorite Cartoon Network shows, even had my own comic ideas back then, so I guess really as far back as I can recall.

That said, my enthusiasm for it died down a bit into my teens and it was only when Art Academy came out on the WiiU and I could share stuff on miiverse that I got back into it again. So according to Nintendo’s site it came out in June of 2015, sounds about right.

Despite trying to get better it feels like progress has been a bit slow, but then a lot of that has been without much help or research and the only thing I’ve been doing more recently is looking at more established artists and what tips they have on YouTube. Ina herself does lots of art and it’s very good, but it’s actually Calli that has given me a bit of inspiration seeing her work so hard and learning about how she got to where she is in the first place.

Edit:
I guess for reference I’ll be 30 in November lol. Let’s see if I can find any of my childhood drawings…

I thought I had more but this is probably all I want to share lol

It’s a bit soon after my last post tbh but thought I’d just give a small update and say I got myself a harp. Nothing too big or crazy but probably a bit of an impulsive purchase considering I don’t know how to play it at all. Even so I’ve been planning on definitely learning regardless so why not sooner than later. Doubt I’ll have much to show for it anytime soon but hoping to try and use it along with my kazoo to do some interesting covers and share them here with my drawings.

I really just can’t wait for No More Heroes 3…and now Metroid Dread. Need more space on my Switch ugh. And this Demondice person seems dope



 
does anyone here paint with oil paints? i mainly mess around with acrylic

im trying to learn.. but painting with oil paints is like trying to paint with butter. having said that, oil painting always look better than acrylic.

I’m sure this isn’t everything I’ve drawn since last post but I’ve been a bit disorganized lately in general. Had my friend’s birthday, was excited to do a parody since the new Jojo trailer, quickly moved on from that though(may do something with later on) in trying to get some No More Heroes fan art done. Sadly didn’t get everything I planned but may have a chance Thursday night before I start playing the new one on Friday morning. Hoping to do a blind playthrough on my YouTube channel.

Noticing details I got wrong but I planned on doing more stuff with them later on anyway. As much as I love their designs, I’m even more a fan of the soundtrack so far and what they’ve released is apparently just a small sample.





 
So despite some real stressers lately, I’ve been pretty happy with some of my art related stuff. Did some doodles for Undertale, Deltarune, and The Good Life now that it’s almost here, but also did my first commission as well as a piece based off of Mori Calliope’s new song. Of course I like the fact that anyone enjoys my art, but it just feels especially nice to have earned money from it or to be recognized repeatedly by an artist I look up to, even if I don’t think I did the best I could. I just need to keep pushing myself.

I don’t want to reveal or say or promise too much now, since it’s not a 100% for sure thing, but I think I’ve got a simple enough idea for a game in mind that is feasible for me to complete on my own in a decent amount of time, so it’s currently my goal to release a trailer for it on my birthday next month. Kinda figuring it may not be everyone’s cup of coffee, not ambitious but just kinda experimental and using my strength in art as a crutch lol. Will probably post it here if I make it.
 
Just out of curiosity, what drew you to draw in the first place?
I think a lot of it was just a natural part of being a kid, arts and crafts in kindergarten etc. I did like to try to copy my favorite cartoons. But I think my real drive back then was wanting to make my own games and just not knowing the first thing about how they were made, so I’d try to draw them as best I could lol
 
I haven’t done a ton but would like to try to update this more often, if only because I feel I’ve finally got a project I can keep myself interested in and dedicated to, even if I’m a bit indecisive about many parts of it. Dunno about a demo but I’m hoping to release some kind of trailer on my birthday next month.

Also Sesshomori because I heard about Mori Calliope having written Inuyasha fanfics back the the day lol. I guess even doodling this influenced this Saeko character I’ve got in mind.29A7B437-2C63-4915-A2C4-A2C64D9F114E.jpeg
 
Man, it’s almost halfway through the year huh 🤔 Realizing I haven’t posted anything here from it. To be honest it’s been pretty rough with job drama and a week long hospital stay, and subsequently having to ween myself off oxygen, but at least I’ve had some time off of everything now and potentially til mid July, so I have had plenty of time to draw. I can just never seem to commit to any projects after so long, but now I’m trying to take advantage of my time. Getting a new sketchbook and supplies recently has kind of reinvigorated me to practice more at least.

I’ve almost reached 100 videos on my art playlist but just haven’t been into doing digital stuff lately, so it’ll just have to wait. But honestly I’ve been thinking of moving on from these types to maybe focus on something else that might be more informative or something, not sure yet if anything. Just Bob Ross has been an inspiration for his positive attitude towards art in general and I’ve wanted to find a way to do that as well for those who might not be so confident despite wanting to do it themselves. But for now, here are some recent ones.
