Inktober 2018 Day 11

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.

Titled: The Smoke I Bleed

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??

Contains spoilers for the game Undertale

Just a random post, but I've been doing a lot of exploration on Undertale and everything to do with it. Fan comics, Canon stuff everything other than actually playing unfortunately.....and....it just shocking how real it feels. I just feel the need to talk a little about this wonderful game with its beautifully developed characters. I've seen quite a bit of the angst having to do with some of the chars and the different ways to do a playthrough. My main thought on this game is the absolute horror that happens with a 'No Mercy' run, killing all of the main characters who show the player love and affection, and the effect this has on the rest of the characters in the game, especially in Sans' case, who is my favorite character. I believe that the pacifist run is the true ending to the game, but the other timelines, mainly the genocide timeline, and their effect they have on a select few characters just gets to me like nothing has before. The effect they have on Sans is astounding, as he has knowledge of the resets and saves of the player, along with any previous run throughs, of the game, which likely cause him nightmares should the previous games be No Mercy runs. This and how the death of his friends and especially his brother affect him just makes my guts wrench with sadness for him. A lot of people are scared of Sans as they fight him near the end of the No Mercy due to his cold rage towards the player's actions but I feel only this unbearable sadness for Sans....all those who he loves and cares about are dead and since he knows of the resets he knows that all he tries to do in that timeline is for naught. Urgh it just makes me want to take all the potential pain away from Sans, the hurt that comes from his almost omnipotent awareness and the pain from the chance of losing his brother and those closest to him in any play through other that the True Pacifist Run.....anyways....just felt good to get these thoughts that I've been wondering about all day out onto "paper." Anyways, see ya around.

Inktober 2018 Day 26

“Stretch”

Hands have always been kinda difficult for me, so I’m glad that I’m finally enjoying drawing them. I didn’t know how this one would turn out and I was kinda iffy when I first started inking, but somehow in the end it turned out ok.

“Drain”

HE’S NOT DOING DRUGS. He just had surgery and I guess cat-people have different vein placement than us, so the IV was put there and not in his hand. I didn’t quite get the pose correct, he’s supposed to be more slouched, but eh I still like it.

Inktober 2018 Day 30

“Jolt”

Second to last one yall. While inktober was fun, man it was hard to keep up. I’m Just glad that I found a way that allowed me to do every day, because if these pieces were on bigger sheets of paper, heaven knows i would have only been able to do one day with how detailed i can get.

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....

Im excited to finally be able to see what replies are all about because ive never experienced them yet

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.
