what theyre into #TAGCEN

hello i am at magfest. consider wandering into the marketplace and purchase some of my friend's destiny wares

my month to month art summary retrospective thing for 2025! i once again achieved my general goal, which was to draw at least 1 thing per month.

testing some brushes out with gordon the freeman

my homunculus

got a new art tool: the classical dip pen nib. im learning how to use it. and how to ruin it. apparently.

scheduled a discord event to watch the frankenstein movie with my friends but i didnt know anything about what happens in it so i googled one (1) image of oscar isaac victor frankenstein and drew this banner real quick ⬇

saw a cool halftone drawing and was compelled to also make a halftone drawing. chip thinks hes finally gonna have a match with his long lost rival but hes gonna be sooooo mad when he wakes up from his dream #TAGCEN

can't watch collision today since im at a convention... drew a lil pic of orange cassidy in the meantime #aew

this weekend im helping @adulture.bsky.social and @hexselenas.bsky.social sell things at anime pasadena. if you put me behind a convention table I will start making bespoke signage

every year we play the pumpkin carving game. heres my yearly outer wilds themed pumpkin

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Thanks @adamgryu.bsky.social for hosting a fun pumpkin festival every year! adamgryu.itch.io/pumpkin-carver

jacob lash #deadlock

doodles of my guysssss #TAGCEN

i dont use color jitter brushes but i decided to try one out for once. fruits

the process of removing a spider from the home

checking if i can still draw proper cylinders. uh oh

when youre facing off with the enemy faction and have to look really tough #aew

studying the blade. how do i draw this man #deadlock

i updated my copy of csp recently and the ability to rotate the pivot of the free transform gizmo is such a nice feature... no longer will you need to straighten out an angled object to distort it properly... sooooo nice. i recommend getting version 5.0 for this

that abrams #deadlock

quick 1hr color study thing of one of ryan loco's cool hangman photos... i made the darks way more saturated-red than theyre supposed to be tho oopssssssss

oh nice, clip studio paint has photoshop-style smart objects / file references. (so you can link a .clip canvas inside of another .clip canvas and it automatically updates) its called "file object" btw. i dont use smart objects frequently, but on the rare occasions i did it was very handy

colored an old drawing of basil. my guy with problems... #TAGCEN

an 8 page comic about samson, who may or may not have something wrong with him (1/2) #TAGCEN

recovered enough emotionally to investigate pdf creation for future print attempts. using print-to-pdf was a genius idea i saw in a comment but upon close examination i noticed that it compresses the image a bit, which isnt ideal when it comes to printing art. i want the max amount of quality

printed out wip pages of my comic to make sure the size is okay. how much..... can I get done by my deadline (tuesday morning)...........

as much as i like using clip studio paint its kind of annoying i have to use the comic panel features to divide my canvas into equal portions. wish i could just set the grid to be by percentage

watching northernlion streams at my friends' house

my jacob lash risoprint came out so nice!!! yayyyy #deadlock

coloring this old sketch of jacob lash so i can use it to do a test print. i kinda dig how it looks with the lines turned off...

currently im in the "valley of frustration" on the art improvement graph cuz i notice my bad art habits. which makes me not want to draw. which is counterintuitive because u have to be on that targeted grindset to overcome habits. alas... the fallow season...

oh yeah I forgot I wanted to post more wip stuff on here. i haaaaave been drawing my guys a lil lately... here's a low quality screencap about it

local fool shows up to riso class late and also completely unprepared to draw some sort of image on the spot!! aaaaaaaaa.... the printer is cool tho

drawing of my birthday activities on my birthday that ive been intending to clean up for over a month and still haven't (oops). the numerical record of my age has increased recently btw

every so often i think screentones are cool and then spend several hours messing around with tone layers in csp

the king of all bandits (salamander salazar) and his singular henchman (bandit-bandit) do nothing but cause trouble in their local wrestling promotions #TAGCEN

some old wrestle sketches from 2022. i miss eddie kingston every day 😢... #aew

got a new sketchbook and proceeded to break it in by drawing the worst cylinder of all time in it

some hangman page studies. figuring out how 2 draw him #aew

drew this image to wear when I go to the all you can eat sushi place so the waiter understands the strength of my intent when I order 40 salmon nigiri off the bat

last week when I was struggling to draw hangman I realized that he's hard to draw for a lot of the same reasons lash deadlock is hard to draw. if I hone my strength I can slay two birds with one stone...

these two wrestlers are competing to see who has THE MOST insecurities ❗❗ #aew

all ive been doing over the past two weeks is putting 60 hours into monhun wilds. i havent even been drawing basic shapes (my favorite pastime)

hangman adam page is so hard to draw. but i must persevere #aew

ive been making small things in sculpey lately. its a lot harder than i thought. behold my tiny children

me processing a morning meeting with an insufficient amount of sleep

some samsons. ngl ive had trouble nailing down what his whole deal is this whole time, but i think ive fiiiiinally figured it out #TAGCEN

drew comic about graphic tees of my guys. inspired by a tumblr post #TAGCEN

sketched a comic and now im forcing myself to learn how to compose it into a proper "comic page" with "clean panels" and "text bubbles" i kinda understand how the text-grouping and word bubble thing works in csp now
