I don't talk much about my OC's outside FR, but here's Gabriel, or Red Wolf as he's often called by others for being redhead, hairy, and mean. He has a lot of burn scars on his body and he lives in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, trying to write a book and keep people away. Super original :P

Trying to imagine what my OC's would look like with actual clothes on (for a change :P) And also trying new ways to sketch things. Liking this one, simple, fast, and works its purpose. #sketching #oc

I've not been creative in a while, at all. Should have seen earlier just how bad I was getting but I didn't. I'm just daaaamn depressed af. That's it. Also, I'm autistic. That's new and I'm still digesting. Diagnosis at 34. Wat do? I'm figuring things out. And while I prefer to escape to my head and imagination a lot, not luch of that turns into anything tangible on paper. Which is a shame but it's just not happening.

Eudoxia and Orestes, and a pair of portraits that are meang to go together. The type I would imagine hanging on their office walls. They're both quite a bit older here. Eudy has some more visible battle scars and Ori has lost a limb. But despite that they're happier, more stable versions of themselves. #art #ballpointpen #oc

I went from back to Tootdon from Fedilab. But I'm also resigned to my fate that at some point my masto apps just stop working with no reason at all.

Okay so new laptop. It's a bit... ok no, it's a complete monster. But I can still fit an idle Cintiq and a cat next to it. I have so much capability for my normal hundred layer art mess but actually, writing has been my thing lately. Like... with hands. I've been writing with with actual pen on an actual paper. It's been awesome o.o

Wheee I got my new laptop but I've been slow at setting anything up and art hasn't happened in a looong while. But anxiety drove me back to the comforting, warm, and strong arms of Stardew Valley so take a sketch of Sebastian, likely unable to sleep bc he's stuck on some bug he can't catch #sketch

For more soIid specs, I need RAM bc the computer I use can't become a stress of watching what program is open and how many Iayers in art for me. That means 16GB or go home. And i7 processor. I took a peek at Lenovo Legions and whiIe those Iooked nice on paper, I'm just too aIIergic to Lenovo, sorry. Means I'm pretty insistent in either RoG or Predator for now.

And 17 inch screen is a must as it's my primary (onIy) computer, I don't have reading gIasses, and 15 reaIIy is too smaII.

See here the sad state of my "trusty" Iaptop. Iong story short, the hinge stiffened, broke the Iid frame, the hinge won't Ioosen, and so the cover can't be cIosed again. And I'm in a market for a new Iaptop.

This one is MSi and I'd rather not get one again, but if there is one made of metaI then by aII means. Rn I'm mostIy considering between Asus RoG and Acer Predator HeIios. I need it for games, graphics, and not thinking about what I have open. Any recs?

I got a story idea. It has cats. And bunnies too. And other animals. But I love cats. I'm trying to just get a feeling of the period and drawing animal characters but those lavender eyes look so nice that I think I will keep them.

Got my ol' scanner to work!

Let the wedding feast start!

#ballpointpen #doodling #oc

I've been good lately but also at times very bad. Just very up and down, unstable. 99% of the time I want to make my self-reflect OC's happy and warm but sometimes I gotta let out that I and they have issues and hurt. #gore #blood #selfharm

The weapons of doodling. I will honestly doodle with any ballpoint pen but these are my favs mainly bc they just never seem to dry like other pens.

Nicer daylight pics of the ballpoint stuff. I've been having real fun with this :) #mastoart #flightrising #art

When was the last time I drew a human? Is this human? What is human? We just don't know. But damn, my phone did a good job with nothing but candle light.

Getting neater, drawing by drawing. The first one is literally just crumpled pocket paper, left over from a pub quiz last week. For the rest I at least managed to dig out my purse moleskine, even if the pens stayed the same :P (they give me happy accidents, I like them)

Hiip, doodely art. Stuff has happened and art has not but I got a new phone with a stylus so I'm trying to just doodle more. And someone gave me a ballpoint pen the other night... Also, new OC's, Oseanis and Nidoreia
