I just think they're neat :>

random doodling is better than nothing

I drew me from in game :D

Watch Symphogear.

Was messing around and came across an effect that seemed like looking through cloth, so ran with that.

These are some doodles from last October.

Did this when a Coronal Mass Ejection -- > Northern Lights was in the news. Happy with how the aurora turned out :) Completely phoned in the ground cause it wasn't the fun part :P

I really lost steam between previous drawing and this one, and to this day I'm still less consistent than the first few months of effort. Anyway here's some birds from pokemon gold/silver era.

you're as cooooold as ice

Any Pokemon movie 3 fans in the chat?

#Mermay!

In light of recent fanfest FFXIV x EVA announcements, I guess I'll wanna try and revisit this idea sometime soon :D

Espeon is judging you.

Wooper's just a little guyyyy

Marill! slooooooooowly trying to get back in saddle to draw more.

Pichu! Turns out you can do some neat stuff with layers to get a canvas-y effect as colors blend, which is neat.

Haven't drawn as much this year, so haven't been able to post things. Anyway here's Cyndaquil, since ~30 doodles ago I started the gen 2 pokemon arc.

FFXIV Dragoon pose with NGE lance. Wanna revisit this once there's more skill in my hands and mental energy in the tank, this idea cooks.

~The best PLD relic weapon~ (I miss old paladin.....)

Last post of the year! A little fae flyer inspired by Selene/Eos from FFXIV!

CROSS. HOBBY. MIXING. Painted this mini, then tried to doodle it. :D

Some basic line practice & doodling

Since I'm trying to show my progress learning digital art, it guess I should also post the random doodles and less neat stuff too if its all I did that day. SO OBSERVE! Miscellaneous doodles and practice tracing shapes to try and build pen control!

Slime form Rimuru from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (I know I know its isekai slop sue me) Shading goes a long way to show the shape of a blob :)

A sketch of my partner's Au Ra with a big Dark Knight sword!

Two of the little goobers from the Occult Crescent! If you date check it, I drew this around the time that content came out. Never got around to doing forked tower though.... I should look into that...

Violet Evergarden really resonated with me when I watched it (cried at 50+% of the episodes), so I wanted to try and sketch one of the promo arts. Very happy with how the billowing dress turned out. This is a strong candidate to redo in full color once I feel more confident in my abilities.

Tried doing a scene from the second Symphogear season where Linker'd up Miku is using the Shénshòujìng while fighting against the main cast. I did a bunch of coloring and stuff before realizing I'd completely messed up which layers I was working on lol. Live and learn.

To practice some more dynamic poses, I tried quickly sketching some splash art of some league champions. Top left is Star Guardian Jinx Top Right is Project Ashe Bottom left is Winter Wonderland Orianna Bottom right is Project Senna

Some characters from Symphogear. Extremely evident that Maria got 2-3x the time investment lol. Ruffles are fun (but hard) to draw. I used some basic grid guides when trying to replicate the reference shapes, which turned out really well, but took a LOT of time going back and forth.

Sketches of my FFXIV character based on some gpose references. +50 points if anyone can name the staff shown here :)

So this one was just exploring the watercolor style digital brushes in the program for a little bit. Feels a bit dreamy...

Phosphophyllite (Phos) from the early part of Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) The hair colors in both the anime adaptation and the manga are always so pretty!

25th Baam from Tower of God! Trying to just side by side match the character art to get better at making my hands do what I want them to. Its also cool how just a little creasing/shadows go SO FAR when it comes to making clothes look good. Actually crazy.

Motivation low, but since i technically did doodle something today, i will also post today. Tried sketching a scene from the then airing Gundam GQuuuuuux. I guess my takeaway from it is that perspective is hard.

Supergiant classic Transistor stands the test of time. Tried recreating some of the concept art to get better at using the paint brush tools.

Drew this while GQuuuuuux was still airing. The first attempt was super lumpy, but the second turned out nice.

Raichu zappin!

I live! I drew a growlithe from reference!

Charizard big dragon boi!

Articuno doodle! Still in gen 1, but on the last few of my favorites. With a 30 drawing delay between what I'm drawing vs posting and the fact that I've been kinda bad with practicing, the drawing date and the current date are kinda getting uhhhh....

Vaporeon! This ended up looking way better/more stylized without the lines, so I left em out.

Tonight's upload is a Manwha character - Jue Viole Grace from Tower of God! Not great at people faces, so his jaw is giga big vs the reference.

Short break from the gen 1 pokemon favorites, just some misc. doodling / trying to replicate references: -Tachibana Hibiki from Symphogear -Loran Cehack from Turn A Gundam -Misc Job symbols from FFXIV -A Gyarados head firing a big beam

And back to a gen 1 starter Pokemon with Squirtle! Largely just followed the reference for the pose/shadows/highlights, however a simple canvas texture over everything and a gradient background go a long way to making it pop! Ignore the wonky tail proportions....

You can't talk gen 1 Pokemon without touching on some of the OG legendaries, so here's my attempt at Mew! Turning off the lines at the end also looked kinda neat, so there's a version of that too. Having a cloudy horizon with mew flying above it just felt right for a background.

A friend mentioned she liked foxes, so running with that I did one of the fox inspired pokemon from gen 1, Vulpix! I used some guides to try and keep the shapes roughly proportional to the reference, and it turned out well. Still love the aggressively highlighted early art style.

This time a starter, Bulbasaur! Pretty sure folks had recommendations on best or worst starter based on early gym types, but that was way above my head back when I first played the games. I really like the almost watercolor painted look the early gen 1 art-style used, Its really cool looking.

You cant be drawing fun gen 1 Pokemon without doing the ZAP RAT himself, Pikachu! But to keep it silly, I found a fun frame from the show and used that as the reference. Since he's fairly simply drawn, I spent a little time to throw together a simple background based on the reference too.

Eevee this time! Used some of the official art as reference. Trying out just using the pencil tool in Krita. Kinda gives it that colored pencil look.
