Whahapppun? Lemmie explain!

To summarize, I've been going through a bit of a change recently and I also haven't been able to finish anything I've started. I've compiled some of my work here for a personal progress update.

I'm in unknown territory.


I've been feeling trapped by my "signature" art style and obsessed with posting everything I draw. The moment I stopped, I noticed some improvement both in my actual art skill, and my attitude towards practicing. If I keep more things private, the pressure of feeling like some forced art influencer is lifted.

My main goal is to understand the 3D forms of the human body so that my skills won't hold back the expressiveness and poses of my characters.

My secondary goal is to expand my understanding of coloring and shading, since up until this point I've been drawing and coloring in an unrealistic style. Doing more painterly style artwork has made me feel so free, but it also made me realize how little I know about this artwork aspect. (As you can tell, I really focused on line art for a long time.)

I quite like expressing myself in this new style, and while you'll see my other one too, this one may appear more regularly in the future!

(1st of the year!)

I've been dabbling in this artstyle more these days. I hope to improve my skills in portraying characters properly + drawing scenery this year.

Finished Prize for @JaxoDraws0104!

Thanks for being cool with the long wait! And now that it's done, I've finally rolled out all the prizes I promised. Definitely a big learning experience for me 0(-(

Same Question, New Answer

"...From the grand gestures pointed skyward to the glint in their eye, he was swayed by their words and succumbed to the most dangerous feeling of all."

Caine redesign

Batch Drop of the remaining Artfight Attacks I hadn't posted yet.

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with what I managed to achieve in a month, especially with the comics and character interactions. + I improved drawing on mobile, which is nice!

Redraw I thought was funny

I'm participating in Artfight 2025!

Like last year, I'll try to return every attack with equal or higher quality.

It'll take some time for me to get everything back up and running on GJ. Thank you for your endless patience!

2 Attacks: https://artfight.net/~Swiftdoodlez + https://artfight.net/~ZeeXe and: https://artfight.net/~saop

The first of which took around a week or more, the other only a couple of days. I need to practice effectively placing values...

Drawing took a backseat, posting even moreso. I'm still not sure what I'll do with this account nowadays, but I felt comfortable enough to share some of my work today.
