Titled: The Smoke I Bleed
Art © Me
Idk how long this damn thing took, but I’m glad it’s finally done and I can move on with my life. The stippling for the smoke definitely took the longest and if the chance comes up again I wouldn’t do it again (that’s a lie i know I would do it again…. just with a few months in between. Crosshatching is much easier). I get why people say to stretch for this stuff though. It kills the neck for the hours it takes.
Edit: idk why it says that the first pic is from that other blog??
Inktober 2018 Day 2
“Tranquil”
Here’s day two. I’m not behind on the actual art, just in the posting. Shhhhhh. I think i prefer the sketch for this one more. Plus i think I cheated because i didnt want to whip out the india ink for this and the next one so i just used my micron pens DX

Another dude I made but using this weird watercolor ink stuff. Unfortunately its not waterproof like my india ink so I had to work around that aspect and work with any of the color bleeds. Still, was pretty fun to do and I enjoy the result. Might do a similar design like this again, but with gold and yellow inks instead. We shall see. Gotta get my hands on some of those colors tho, cause the brown and green seen here are a gift from my bestie.
Finally some more art to post that wont get flagged by the nsfw censors XD ive been having a blast with some friends i met through 1999 and we have been enabling each other. One such thing was drawing my Drifter in biker attire. Im working on coloring it, but have the lines for now. I just feel like I haven't seen that many drifters in biker attire.
If you are a biker and you see some things wrong with his garb, no you didnt. Im not going for total accuracy here.
Inktober 2018 Day 7
“Exhausted”
The letters at the top say “I Am.” You know. Cause I am. All the time. Tried to make this guys eyes look glazed over cause exhaustion makes me feel dead inside.

I love how this beauty turned out. First time I was able to do just linework too without wanting to shade some bits. Gah I just love this piece so much, I wanna do another one like it already, even though it was kinda a pain figuring out how all of those veils should go. 10/10 would do again though. Who knows, I might just ink it and color it one day. I'm excited for the future!
Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.
Kurt Vonnegut (via planity) Just read his story Slaughterhouse five. The way he looks at life is amazing.
Decided to keep going with the Undertale binge instead of drawing my normal monsters. With this one, the idea is from an anon on @thelostmoongazer and I decided that I wanted to draw it. Sorry for a couple of things: The roughness of the pics, I did them with ball point pen so they are scratchy The pics suck cause my phone camera sucks I’m still trying to figure out how I want to draw Frisk , Sans and Papyrus Idk what the heck I’m doing with the formatting of the comic……Yeah I’m a newbie… No watercolor cause it's not the right paper....
Decided that instead of flailing aimlessly in doing color, I’m instead gonna start doing photo studies. So here’s the first one that I wanted to be a short study, but took way longer cause I was figuring out how to do that blur effect and how to paint water droplets. I really like painting water drops now XD. The second image is the ref image, tho I can’t for the life of me find who to credit for the pic.
Inktober 2 is in the works, just gotta ink it now. Its just that i got like 5 hours of sleep so im exhausted
