What's With The Teeth?

新年快乐!!!!!!!

erm today was literally crazy tho idk what happened I woke up so late and had to rush so much

im so excited to eat yummy food

i saw the teeniest hummingbird just now anyone know what species this is?? it was so small it could fit in my palm and it flew by really fast, oh this was in California bay area btw, the green part was iridescent that's what that shine is lol

never seen this before thats why im asking usually I see the green and pink one, it especially caught my eye cuz its neck was SO red like bright scarlet red

also cuz... you dont usually see hummingbirds in winter idk whats up with this lil guy do hummingbirds get lost 😭

im not a zoological artist (or anyone who can draw animals in general ngl) don't judge but it was chubby so that part is intended

ignore the hand we dont talk about it its for size comparison

obligatory addition of my CHUBBY year of the snake decoration its not even a snake anymore its just a little toothpaste blob

i got it from daiso lol how do they have literally everything

im crying why is my old art so bad this is from when I was 11 when I was just starting digital art on chrome canvas lmaooo

amethyst looking rough here

my steven universe obsession was crazy i mean I lived breathed slept steven universe i have very few OCs from this time period cuz literally all my art and MULTIPLE SKETCHBOOKS were just filled with steven universe

THE FEEEEET

btw i used to draw ALL my feet like that... potatoes

posting this cuz i recently found a goldmine of old art from my old account I managed to save it even tho the account got deleted by the school after I left elementary

can you tell i REALLY couldnt draw hands or no

still working on redrawing all my OCs but its taking longer cuz I have so many freaking paragraphs to write I hate essays

gonna just see a jump from 10 years old to like 12 years old lol again cuz of my insane steven universe obsession

i still absolutely LOVE su it has a special place in my heart but I'm not this crazy anymore although it def has influenced some of my character designs and stories ngl

vegan marshmallows are better than regular marshmallows

i'm not even vegan but the texture is so much better

every opportunity i get to draw a buff man is great

took super short cuz... no face lol

omg... new blend brush in magma is INCREDIBLE

it saves so much time omg this took 2 HOURS this looks like it took more than my usual 4 hours, im shocked rendering hair and doing lineless art is actually easy now??

also i ate with my colours look at that classic warm highlights cool shadows style

i use so much less layers too... i cant understand how i did digital art for so long without a blend brush

my OCs i made when I was 10 (the mermaid with black hair and girl in white dress are OCs from when I was 9 lol you can tell cuz there's not an insane amount of patterns)

again these are the simplified versions... i used to draw WAY too much detail

i... idk whats up with the purple guy that's unironically how he looks he's like the only super buff character I have cuz I couldn't draw muscles and the original drawing of him just looks weirdly lumpy lmaoo

i'm not even that obsessed with mermaids I have no clue why I have so many mermaid characters this isn't the end of them either I have at least two more mermaid OCs to my knowledge

can... can you tell that some of these designs were created when I started feeling attraction for the first time

unironically why most of my OCs are girls I just really like girls (and men too but idk I may have a preference or smth)

cant believe i havent posted yael yet... she's so cute and she's the easiest to draw lmao why are all my character designs so complex

although her hair is very hard to draw it's really detailed but like.. i cant take any parts of it away or else it doesn't look like her?? lots of crescent shapes tho

guess what animal she can turn into she's the most obvious (yes all my main characters and some other characters can turn into animals, although obv not most ppl population wise in my comic)

i baby-fied her so much man she's 23 😭

erm so yk how i steal names from songs... new soul is literally her so I gave her the singers name maybe I should do that for my other OCs cuz I LITERALLY CANT COME UP WITH NAMES... i can draw fine and create super cool characters but I have ALWAYS struggled with names and idk why I always overthink them

ok i know im repeating this but she is SO easy to draw... i don't need a reference or anything and this took like 5 seconds... for my other OCs I gotta move stuff pixel by pixel cuz it just don't look right and not like the version of them I see in my head, and yet I don't have a recent ref of her?? i gotta make one man it wont even take that long

i like these little sketches man they help me flesh out personality and stuff

Astrid, character by poppygumi on Reddit

erm kinda goes hard

made it so dramatic man it ain't that serious 😭

draw something that isn't super rendered with complex shading challenge impossible

that's why i probably have like 1 drawing on here that's cel-shaded cuz I just can't NOT add some nice gradient and smooth shading

although i didn't blend EVERYTHING this time I do gotta work on that cuz ik there's hard edges too and especially for shiny materials I shouldn't blend or else the texture will be wrong

doing art makes me appreciate it so much cuz i LOVE just doing the art, not just the product which is why I don't see the usefulness of AI, it takes away the part I actually enjoy doing

i gotta do more studies and especially learn how to draw backgrounds and perspective cuz I'll get a random burst of motivation to draw my comic but then... the first panel has to have a background shoot

just finished an art trade for SolsticeMorningstar on Reddit... took WAY too long omg

i ATE on this shading though

the character is Solstice!! they're so cute omggg

ermmm... this took 7 HOURS no wonder i'm starving

who wants to do OC art trades?? DM me anytime!! bruh his name is puma guy cuz I still don't have any name ideas for him

yes its been open this whole time but I have some free time coming up and I want to draw! could've just reblogged this but uh idk

i've edited this ref so much it's not funny I hate the curse of having a super crisp imagination in my head cuz if something is wrong by one pixel and puma guy doesn't look EXACTLY how I envision him then I'll hack up the ref and completely restructure it so it matches as closely as possible with what I see in my head

also i gotta do more art trades because of how much I've changed my ref tbh I can't have ppl draw my OC based on a wrong ref I feel bad

sigh the shading pattern on my ref is SO messed up like what even is that

me when a man with long eyelashes and stubble

also i LOVE ALL YOUR GUYS OCS!!! everyone has such cool characters omg!!! i love reading OC lore its so fun
